Summary

Have you ever felt like something is "off" and you haven't yet been able to pinpoint what it is?

Once you understand that the body is not broken, but instead communicating through symptoms, it completely changes how you approach health, transformation, and personal growth.

In this episode, we explore why symptoms are signals of underlying imbalances, not failures of the body, and why trying to force results through restriction, deprivation, or overtraining often leads to burnout and metabolic damage over time.

So join me on today's Cabral Concept Episode 3664, where we discuss why healing begins when you stop trying to fix yourself and start listening to what your body is asking for.

Enjoy the show.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Cabral concept, where board certified doctor of naturopathy, Dr. Stephen Cabral,
0:05.8	shares with you exactly how you can reverse aging, take back your health, and live a life
0:10.9	full of energy and passion with new 20-minute episodes every single day to keep you healthy and engaged.
0:17.7	Now, here's your host, Dr. Stephen Cabral.
0:23.4	Welcome back, everybody. Can't wait to get into today's mindset of motivation Monday, where the topic is stop trying to fix
0:29.2	yourself. So many times, one of the biggest things that I want to communicate with my clients,
0:34.5	just like I had to do with myself, is the understanding that you are not broken.
0:40.0	You are not something that needs fixing. And I know that might seem strange if your body's out of
0:46.3	balance, that you're dealing with health-based issues, you might have relationship issues,
0:49.6	spirituality issues, weight issues, whatever it might be. But your body is not broken. And that means that
0:55.9	it does not need fixing. Because what we try to do is once we say that something needs to be fixed,
1:03.0	we automatically then begin to wire our mind as to something is broken or not functioning as it's supposed to be. But if we stick with the theme of
1:13.9	health and you can apply it to anywhere in your life, once you know that your body isn't broken and that it
1:19.1	doesn't need fixing, you can then start to ask the next question then, well, what is it trying to say?
1:24.9	And that is ultimately where we want to all get to, is listening to our body.
1:31.1	That means when it sends us signals, like I talk about in my new book, it's that there's
1:37.1	five main signals. Okay. Well, those signals let you know that there is an imbalance that is trying to communicate through a symptom.
1:46.9	So instead of the body being broken and need fixing, instead it's communicating through symptoms.
1:54.6	When your body has a fever, we don't necessarily try to palliate and lower the fever unless it gets too high,
2:02.1	dangerously high, like above maybe a 103. Something in children or a 105 in adults.
2:07.8	But what we want to do with that fever is as long as it does not get too high, is it enable it
2:13.9	to that heat to break down viral-based replication, to move circulation and blood flow through
