Cabral concept where board certified naturopath and integrative health

practitioner Dr. Stephen Cabral shares how he was diagnosed at the age of 17 with a life-altering illness and given no hope for recovery. It was only after studying and traveling all over the world did he discover how to combine ancient iovidic healing practices with state-of-the-art

naturopathic and functional medicine to fully rebalance the body and re-energize it with life.

It's time to discover how to get well, lose weight,

and finally feel alive again.

And now here's your host, Dr. Stephen Cabral.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the Cabral concept.

Thanks so much for joining me here today on our Total Wellness Tuesday show

where we are going to be going over seven foods and lifestyle factors that damage your brain and here's why.

Too much that I see in my practice and too often in life.

We begin to think that Alzheimer's and dementia and even nervous system-based issues as well that affect the brain and the body like Parkinson's or even MS have nothing to do with how we're living our life and everything to do with genetics.

But as I've explained before, genetics is such a minute part of the overall perspective of how we stay well or how we get sick that it

almost shouldn't even be part of the discussion and I've shared with you before

that rheumatoid arthritis riddles everyone, my grandparents, my parents, everyone, and I had the same joint pain when I was just 17 years old.

Now I said it, I was about 20 years ahead of schedule

when everyone else used to get it.

But the thing is, now more than 20 years later, I don't have it.

I should have it, right? It's in my genes.

It's in my genetics. Same with a lot of diabetes in my family. It's in my genetics.
