Welcome to the Cabral House Call. I'm Stephen Cabral, Board certified naturohous

call. I'm Stephen Cabral, Board certified naturopathic doctor, and today on this Cabral

house call on a weight loss Wednesday, I want to go through some follow-ups to our

last episode where we talked about does your BMI or your body mass index even matter.

That's that range of that ratio that you should get every year when you go to your

primary care doctor for your annual physical or if you have a personal trainer functional medicine

doctor natural path nutritionist anyone they should be able to calculate that

for you and in that last episode I just said it's very simple to calculate it's free and you can do it right online so you can find out in our previous episode definitely check that out

So today let's get right into your questions all based around weight loss the first one today is from Jenny. Jenny is asking,

should I work out if I'm tired? So excellent question. I work in this capacity

all the time with my adrenal fatigue and overall just general fatigue-based

clients whether they have Lyme disease, whether they have an autoimmune disease, whatever it might be.

And here's the truth of the matter. You do need to

work out and you need to work out at least every other day and you need to get your

steps in every day. However, if you're starting at a baseline of nothing, doing zero workout, the first thing to do is just start

with your walking.

And do you need to get right to the 10,000 steps I recommend?

Absolutely not.

Why would you start at the upper range of 10,000 steps when you've been doing nothing in the beginning?

So my recommendation is start with about 30 minutes of walking per day, per day.

And now the average person gets about 3,500 steps per day.

So you may already be doing that.
