- How fit do you really need to be to support a longer, healthier life?
New research is bringing more attention to the connection between physical fitness and longevity, and there's more to this relationship than body weight or how much you can lift.
On today's show, I'm breaking down what the latest research can tell us about fitness, aging, and long-term health.
I'll also share why cardiovascular fitness deserves attention, how everyday movement can play a role, and what you can do to build a stronger foundation for longevity without needing to train like an elite athlete.
So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3891 to find out what your fitness level may reveal about your long-term health and why cardio may deserve a bigger place in your routine.

The best way to help me spread our mission of true natural health is to pass on the good word, and I read and appreciate every review!- Hair loss can be frustrating, especially when many of the current approaches focus on managing the problem rather than addressing what may be happening at the follicle level.
New research is exploring some fascinating possibilities for supporting hair regrowth by looking at the biology of the hair follicle in a different way.
On today's show, I'm breaking down a recent study that generated some surprising results and sharing what researchers are discovering about the mechanisms that may influence hair growth.
I'll also explain why the findings are promising but still very early, what needs to happen before these approaches can be tested more extensively, and why I believe we may see significant advances in hair-loss treatments over the coming years.
So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3889 as we take a closer look at some of the most exciting new research into hair loss and the future of hair regrowth.

The best way to help me spread our mission of true natural health is to pass on the good word, and I read and appreciate every review! 3887: Taking Celiac Test, Tuna & Mercury, Afternoon Fatigue, Chronic Diarrhea, Scar Tissue & Lymphatic Drainage (HouseCall)
2026/09/27 | 16 mins.Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!
I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…
Anonymous: I was wondering what the minimum amount of gluten and minimum amount of days is to eat before taking a celiac test. I heard only 2 weeks instead of 6 will work. I get bad brain fog so can't take the test if it's 6 weeks. Thank you!
S: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently learned about Safe Catch Tuna. I know normally it is important to limit tuna consumption due to mercury accumulating in the fish. I'm just wondering if this brand truly makes it any safer to consume tuna a bit more often? They have different varieties of tuna such as albacore and skipjack if the type of tuna matters (If it does could you clarify why?).
Holly: Hi Dr. C, the past 6 months ive begun struggling with massive fatigue that hits about 3pm. I complete the seasonal detox, ive done CBO and eat well (including rarely any sugar)… ive changed nothing (apart from starting the gym, lifting weights). I'm 42 and have tried tracking my symptoms to my cycle- and I mostly get fatigued in the first week-2 after my period and a day or 2 before. I'm 42, have an autoimmune condition (alopecia areata that I had rebalanced /regrown but developed another patch a few months ago). Is this perimenopause? What can I do to rebalance my hormones naturally? Note I'm not currently in a financial postion to do any functional testing. Thank you
Susan: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm new to the community and appreciate all that you do. I'm a whole food plant-based eater and eat mostly organic food when possible. Recently I experienced bouts of diarrhea for about 2 weeks before showing improvement over the next two weeks. I didn't want to take over the counter medicine, so I let it run its course. I had no other symptoms. What could I have done to treat this? Thanks for your help.
Erin: I have had 2 c-sections and 2 years ago had a hernia repair and abdominal repair at the same time. For about a year now i have had an area below the diaphragm that is so tight and bloats most of the time. I went to a myofascial specialist and she said that area is full of scar tissue from the repair (it was the start of the abdominal repair in that area) and it was holding so much water. She said the way my c-sections were done it blocked my lymphatic drainage. So i will be doing some weekly work with her but what else can I do to breakdown all that tissue. I am so miserable so often from it. Thank you for your help.
Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!
