    3632: Why Methylation Supplements Usually Backfire (TT)
    Jan 15 2026

    Could the very supplements meant to support your methylation be working against you?

    On today's episode, I uncover a major misunderstanding about methylation and why supplements like methyl folate (B9) and B12 don't always work the way people expect them to.

    I explain why simply adding more methyl donors isn't enough, how missing foundational nutrients can create unwanted symptoms, and what most people are overlooking when trying to support their brain, energy, and nervous system.

    So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3632 to learn why methylation supplements usually backfire, how to properly support methylation, and how to avoid one of the most common supplement mistakes I see in practice.

    Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!

    3631: How Exactly Poor Sleep Causes Weight Gain + How to Fix It (WW)
    Jan 14 2026
    Have you been eating well and exercising, yet still struggling to lose weight? What if the real issue has nothing to do with calories or willpower at all? On today's episode, I break down the science showing how poor sleep can directly sabotage fat loss, increase muscle breakdown, and slow your metabolism, even when you're doing everything else "right." Most importantly, I explain how optimizing sleep can become one of the most powerful tools for sustainable weight loss, improved metabolic health, and long-term body transformation. So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3631 to learn why sleep is not optional for fat loss and how dialing it in can finally help you break through stubborn plateaus.

    3630: They Got ADHD All Wrong (TWT)
    Jan 13 2026
    Have you ever wondered why ADHD diagnoses continue to rise, yet so many people still struggle to find real, lasting solutions? On today's show, I take a deeper look at ADHD and why focusing only on symptom management may be overlooking the true root causes. While medication may temporarily improve focus and behavior, it can also come with unwanted side effects and still doesn't address the underlying imbalances that contribute to attention issues in the first place. I explain how factors like nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, blood sugar instability, nervous system stress, and environmental toxins can all play a role in ADHD symptoms. So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3630 to explore why the conventional view of ADHD may be missing the bigger picture, and how addressing the body as a whole can support focus, emotional regulation, and long-term brain health.

    3629: The Hidden Cost of Starting Over (and How to Finally Stop) (MM)
    Jan 12 2026
    Have you ever noticed how easy it can feel to stop pursuing your goals when things get stressful or you get too busy in life and tell yourself you'll just "restart later"? On today's show, I dive into one of the most overlooked obstacles to long-term success: the hidden cost of starting over. While stopping and restarting can provide temporary relief, it often leads to lost momentum, wasted time, and a deeper pattern of quitting whenever things get difficult. I explain why real progress doesn't come from perfection or constant fresh starts, but from consistent, "imperfect action" over time. So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3629 to learn how to stay in the game, break through plateaus, and finally achieve your goals without starting over.

    3625: These Beans Can Help Block Cancer Metastasis (Multiple Studies) (TT)
    Jan 8 2026
    When people think of cancer prevention, they often think of supplements or advanced therapies. But some of the most powerful support starts with what's on your plate. With nearly 2 million new cancer diagnoses each year in the U.S., evidence-based nutrition has never been more important. On today's episode, I break down research exploring how certain whole foods can support immune function, including natural killer cell activity, while also helping regulate inflammation. I also explain why no single food is a cure-all, and how lasting health comes from restoring balance by addressing deficiencies, reducing toxic load, supporting gut health, and managing chronic stress. So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3625 to learn how simple, research-backed food choices can become a powerful part of your integrative health foundation.
