1. Why losing weight is his #1 approach to a long and healthy life

2. Why Detoxing is so important in this world full of toxins

3. Which lab tests can quickly identify what is wrong with your health so you can take action

Here are the show notes from our episode:

How is Dr. Cabral’s Weight Loss Program Different 18:20

– There is no long term solution to weight loss with high intensity exercise and super low calories

– Dr. Cabral does functional detox for 21 days, lower inflammatory diet plan, helping rebalance blood sugar, improving thermogenesis

– 3-4 days a week of exercise, 10,000 steps a day, eating 3 meals per day, intermittent fasting

– They help people lose the weight, but not to struggle with it the rest of their life

– Estrogen dominance is a big reason why women cannot lose long term weight

– Lab tests: Blood sugar, Vitamin D, Thyroid, Cortisol, Estrogen Dominance, irritability, digestive issues

 – Helps people become carb adapted and fat adapted

– Takes 12-16 weeks for cells to turn over in the body, so you need to test and make sure the program works for longer

Why is Detox important 23:30

– Every natural medical system uses Detox in their programs, and typically do it seasonally

– Before 1940, there were only 2,000 chemicals in the environment

– Real industrial revolution has caused over 100,000 man made chemicals, and over 50% are being identified as carcinogenic

– Average woman uses 12 different bath products and cosmetic product which contain 126 chemicals – all before leaving the house

– These have never been tested over a long time, or tested in combinations that we are being exposed to

– Can do an environmental toxicity test and figure out what is in your system, this is a urine based test

– For heavy metals, you have to run a mineral and metals test. This is a hair test.

– Dr. Cabral recommends the big 5: Gut health, food sensitivities, heave metals, vitamin levels, regular mineral levels, Omega-3
