Heal Your Gut and You Will Heal Your Life: Dr. Stephen Cabral on Antibiotic Overuse, Naturopathic Detox Protocols and Cleanses, and Destroying Biofilm
When we think about disease, many of us assume that it is something that is a matter of genetics. My guest today says: Most diseases begin in the gut.
At 17 years old, Dr. Stephen Cabral was diagnosed with a life-altering illness and given no hope for recovery. He went through severe health complications, saw over 50 different doctors, tried over 100 different treatment protocols, but had no signs of healing. Only after studying and traveling around the world and understanding how to combine ancient Ayurvedic healing practices with state of the art Naturopathic and Functional Medicine did he learn how to fully rebalance his body and re-energize it with life.
Dr. Stephen Cabral is a board-certified Naturopath, Ayurvedic, Functional Medicine and Integrative Health Practitioner. He is the founder, creator and teacher of the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute. Dr. Cabral is the author of two books: A Man’s Guide to Muscle and Strength and The Rain Barrell Effect. He is also the host of the daily podcast called the Cabral Concept where he shares his knowledge about how to heal, get well, lose weight, be fit and live the best life possible.
