009: Understanding the Stress Response and Fitness First with Dr. Stephen Cabral

At 17 years old, Stephen Cabral was diagnosed with a life-altering illness and given no hope for recovery. Everyday, he suffered endlessly for many years. It was only after Stephen discovered how to combine ancient Ayurvedic healing practices with state-of-the-art Naturopathic & Functional Medicine did he understand how to fully re-balance the body and re-energize it with life.

Today in his online and Boston practice he uses Functional Medicine lab testing and Personalized Wellness Plans to help people re-balance their mind and body to recover from auto-immune, thyroid, fatigue, hormone, weight,digestive, childhood, mood, skin, and dozens of other hard to treat health conditions.

His mission is to help people understand that there is always a reason why you have not achieved your ideal wellness or weight loss goals. Never give up – you can and will get well with the right knowledge and plan.

I love Dr. Cabral’s approach to medicine and it was great to hear what works for him and his patients.

He gets into some REALLY important topics today. With all the modern stressors, it’s important we tend to our health and keep a close eye on our mood, our emotions, and our physical well being.
