Welcome to the Cabral Concept, where board certified doctor of naturopathy, Dr. Stephen Cabral,

shares with you exactly how you can reverse aging, take back your health, and live a life full of energy and passion,

with new 20-minute episodes every single day to keep you healthy and engaged. Now, here's your host, Dr. Stephen Cabral.

All right, everybody, we're back with one of our most popular topics, always heading into the

new year as your goal setting, as you're trying to achieve more, be more, do more, have more

in your life. This is absolutely the system that has been proven to make it happen. It's called the 12-week

year. We spoke about it in the past, but this year, we've got a brand new twist. Can't wait to get

into it. Let's dive into the show right now. And I'm also going to share with you a downloadable

PDF that you can grab for yourself. It'll be at stephen cabral.com slash 3615. I'll also lend an

interview there with the author of the 12 week year, Brian Moran, and some previous shows as well.

All right, here's the nice thing. The 12 week year allows you to get more done in 12 weeks than you

would in a typical 12 month year. I've been doing it now for over a decade.

I did it before I even knew it was a real thing, and I absolutely love it. So what it means is this, and I'm going to give you the 30-second breakdown. You're going to take all of your goals that you would typically use for 12 months, and you're going to say, does it need a year in order for them to be achieved, Because most of them only take 12 weeks. But if it does take more than 12 weeks to achieve, let's call it like 25 pounds

of weight loss, what you're going to say is this, I'm going to then use two 12 week years. So you

could easily lose one pound a week. That means over two 12 week years, you can lose 24,

25 pounds, right? So that's how you're going to develop it. If you're doing a year-long

educational-based process, okay, you've got a good 12-week year, but you're going to break down

what you're going to do in the first 12 weeks, second 12 weeks, third 12 weeks, and the last 12

weeks. But all you're ever going to focus on is the first 12 weeks or third 12 weeks, and the last 12 weeks. But all you're ever going to focus on

is the first 12 weeks or the 12 weeks that you're in. And then you're going to do something

further. So let's make this, again, we usually do it about weight loss. So let's make it about

weight loss. You have a 50 pound weight loss goal for this next year. Amazing goal. Okay,
