real quick everyone before we get started and want to let you know something that's pretty wild that's happened in the podcast based community and that is over the last few months apple has reset their iTunes software so that means that everyone that was subscribed to a lot of the major podcasts out there are no longer getting those podcasts in their feed as a subscriber if it happened to you I would love for you to head on over to iTunes or your favorite podcast media player

and just press the subscribe button and if you could if you could leave a review that would really mean the world to me I love reading those reviews I really do I read every single one of them and of course it helps bump us up in the charts so that we reach more people so if you wouldn't mind clicking on that subscribe button and leaving a review I would greatly appreciate that now enjoy the show

on the page 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 Ayurvedic 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

Hey everyone glad you can make it here for our Friday review show hope you've had an amazing week up to this point especially if you're joining in day of the show this Friday we have so much to go over really one of my favorite shows yes I love starting the week with the motivation and mindset Mondays that we will recap today but I also love being able to kind of explore what's gone on during the week and always inside of our practice and I'm sure your life so much has been going on.

So I was like to start the show with a recap before we get to our research we've got product reviews today we've got book reviews today and like I said some great research that you're going to want to stay tuned for but before we get into that I was like to share with you kind of what's been going on in my life in the practice and and really what we're trying to do the movement that we are trying to move forward in this world which is really open sourcing functional medicine open sourcing integrative health and that means always pushing the envelope.

As to what we can do for our community but also what we can do for the world like what can we do in terms of messaging for the world so a couple things that just have been really catching on that I want to make sure that you are aware of is well there's two things the first is that we've really tried to help people are almost at episode 2000 of the overall concept.

So if you go to Stephen Cabral.com forward slash podcast you can really now narrow down what you're learning looking to learn the most about yes I mean if you want to know true you know functional medicine education integrative health education and you're not able to become a certified health coach with I.H.P.

At least go back tune into all those episodes will it take you some time yes of course will you learn you know more in my opinion more that you could learn in 20 years by listen to those 2000 shows let's say you listen to you know for a day.

How long would that take it's still going to take a while right probably going to take about a year and a half or so but imagine though that you'll pick up in my opinion 20 years that it's taking me to learn all of this is just me learning from others trying to pass it on to you but let's say you want to go through all the shows really what you can do is you can look at a topic like intermittent fasting a topic like Ayurveda a topic like digestion a topic like hormones and what I do is I take all of the shows not

all of them but like the top 20 or 30 shows in that category and I put them all in there such as thyroid so you can really learn a lot about one individual topic in just a week's time by going through all those shows so hopefully that's been helpful.

And then in terms of equal life we've got some big things coming end of this year and towards 2022 and I know how crazy that sounds that you know it's like a 2022 it's only but in the grand scheme and things it's six months away and you know I'm holding a product of my hand right here and I'll talk about it in a moment but

you know product like this it takes us you know when you're formulated in it it probably takes us about three months to four months for myself and the I call them chief scientists on our team to be able to go back and forth in the research to really dial in what we want in terms of dosage I always know what I want in terms of ingredients but then we the dial in the dosage and

and obviously we need to then send that out to bid with our manufacturers which are all FDA certified facilities that all do third party testing know that are reliable and then to make the product people don't know this but it takes about 16 weeks so 16 weeks is about four months you're looking at six to seven months minimum a product like fat loss

which is right behind me right there you kind of see if I move that microphone there it is that product took about two years so I mean these these are not off the shelf you know no offense against you know a lot of the Amazon based products out there but they're meant to just be

cheap inexpensive they don't really do much but you know cheap inexpensive supplements and and for the most some some some some will be fine right it's no big deal but not a great quality product it takes time to create these things it takes time

to go through the research and then also from what we've seen in clinical practice anyway all that to say we're creating things now that you won't even see until early 2022 but it's my I've been a remarkable team I can't say that

enough I don't say enough to them but hopefully you're listening right now and I think there's about 50 of us strong now and again we wouldn't be here as a team without each one of you so much

I appreciate it to all of you and speaking of the integrative health practitioner institute we are now rolling into July and more specifically what we're at July 3rd so July July 2nd is today so we're looking at of course if you're in the US

and enjoying some warmer weather maybe enjoying the 4th of July weekend I know our friends in the Australia based part of the world New Zealand and the Southern and Eastern hemisphere you actually just moved into winter

about a month ago so still you pretty amazing climate so I I don't think you can play too much but for me at least I spent the last 12 weeks in the sunny self getting vitamin D really enjoying being outside

and having a lot of fun every day with my daughters swimming or just doing outdoor based activities that absolutely remarkable but now I get to spend the summer I'm very fortunate to get to spend the summer I have a virtual based employer myself

and I spend that between Boston and Maine so it's just an amazing amazing time of the year really enjoy it and I hope that you're doing the same so hopefully you're enjoying that weekend of yours coming up now this month too and over August really one of the best times if you have a little bit of free time
