The Cabral Concept

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!
 
This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!
 
Check out today's questions: 
 
Liam: I am planning to train for a marathon here in a few months. What insight do you have as far as balancing mTOR and AMPK during training? Obviously, mTOR is crucial for building strong muscles and tendons and preventing injury, but AMPK also stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis. Because I love morning workouts, my overall thought process was to workout fasted on lower intensity days, where my body can meet energy demand relying on predominately fat oxidation. I'd get the workout in while still being in a high fasted state. On the higher intensity days, I'd have a snack prior, which may kick me out of a fasting state slightly, but would allow me to perform out the desired intensity to maximize my training adaptations. Thanks for all that you do!  
 
 
Kim: I watched your food sensitivity podcast. You said anything under 3.5 is optimal and the report had under 4.47 is optimal. I had an Equilife food sensitivity test and each food had its own sensitivity range. Most of the vegetables I eat were under 3.5 but were in moderate to high reactivity, such as, lettuce was 1.62, spinach was 1 and celery was 1.47. These were moderate reactivity. Cauliflower was 3.18 and bell pepper was 2.62 and under high reactivity. Also, most fish/seafood, meat/fowl, soybean, tofu, gliadin were zero. Why are foods now considered reactive that are under 3.5? What is causing high protein foods have zero reactivity?
 
 
Sarah: Hello! I'm an esthetician and have dealt with acne for 10 years (I'm now 30). I've done extensive internal work over the years, including lots of testing and different protocols, but I've never been able to get 100% clear, especially around my neck/jawline. Over the past few months I started using tazarotene, and my skin has responded incredibly well. My questions are: if a topical like taz can clear my skin so effectively, does that suggest my acne may be more of a follicular/skin level dysfunction rather than an internal root cause? Is topical treatment a "band aid," or are there cases where acne genuinely isn't driven by an internal imbalance? How can we determine whether acne is actually being driven internally?  
 
 
Lara: Hi, dr. C! Hope you & your family are well! I was just listening to the episode 3824 where someone was asking about chickpeas, whether to get them in a glass jar or a can etc. You answered that you get them organic in a can & that they have been pressure cooked BEFORE they were put in a can, but I've been researching this & apparently they actually put them in the cans raw & pressure cook them IN the can - which is awful, considering the cans are coated with plastic coating & sometimes other chemicals.. did you find a company that doesn't do that because my understanding is that they all do it this way? Thank you, lots of love & healing to everyone. 
 
 
Berry: Hi Doc, I am so thankful that you give us a chance to ask you questions. My father is 82 and goes to the hospital for various issues related to having one kidney. However, he frequently ends up picking up different diseases when he's there (last time it was pneumonia). Is there anything to do to help clean the hospital environment? For example, would spraying ozone in the room, taking large quantities of vitamin C or putting silver infused sheets on his bed help? Is there anything to do to lessen the risk of hospital related illnesses? Thank you so much for your thought

You can find thousands of supplement recommendations online, but how do you know what your body actually needs?
 
 
Many people choose supplements based on trends, but there are really only two reasons to take them.
 
 
On today's show, I'm breaking down these two categories, why correcting foundational health issues should come first, and how testing can help identify what your body actually needs.
 
 
We'll explore corrective supplements, performance and longevity supplements, and why building a strong foundation is more important than simply taking more supplements.
 
 
So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3877 to discover the 2 reasons why you should take supplements and how to create a smarter, more targeted approach to supplementation and support your health for years to come.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

The number on the scale is going down, but do you know what you're actually losing?
 
 
When it comes to weight loss, seeing a lower number can feel like success. But weight loss doesn't always mean fat loss and losing muscle or other lean tissue can have a major impact on your metabolism, strength, physical function, and long-term health.
 
 
On today's show, I'm breaking down the important difference between losing weight and losing body fat, why preserving muscle should be a priority during weight loss, and how factors like strength training, protein, fiber, hydration, and micronutrients can support a healthier approach.
 
 
So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3876 to discover why the goal shouldn't simply be to lose weight, but to lose excess body fat while preserving your muscle for a stronger metabolism, better physical function, and healthier aging.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

Your body is constantly communicating with you...but are you paying attention to what it's trying to say?
 
 
Many of the symptoms we experience every day can be easy to dismiss or simply treat as something we have to live with. But what if these signals are actually clues pointing toward an underlying imbalance?
 
 
On today's show, I'm breaking down 5 important ways your body may be trying to get your attention and why understanding these signals can be an important first step toward identifying potential root causes before they develop into more serious health challenges.
 
 
We'll explore why recurring symptoms deserve a closer look, how to recognize patterns your body may be showing you, and the different ways you can begin investigating what's happening beneath the surface.
 
 
So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3875 to learn how to better listen to your body, understand the messages it's sending you, and start asking the bigger question: What is my body trying to tell me?
 
 
Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!
