We're all predisposed to something… The question is what auto-immune issue are your genetics most likely susceptible to if your body becomes imbalanced? To be honest though, regardless of how you answer above, it is, for the most part, meaningless if you keep your body healthy and balanced… And one of the ways that we know people become susceptible to auto-immune issues is through an imbalanced microbiome (unhealthy intestinal bacteria)… And as you may have guessed already, much of that bacteria is affected by what we eat and consume… So on today's #CabralConcept 2188 I'd like to share some new research on autoimmune dis-eases and the diet connection discovery - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2188 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Why Weight Loss Becomes So Frustrating
Are you actually stuck in your weight loss journey... or has your body simply adapted? If you've ever felt frustrated watching the scale stop moving despite eating well and staying consistent, today's episode breaks down exactly why that happens. Weight loss doesn't usually fail overnight. Your body adapts and progress becomes less visible. What worked in the first few weeks often isn't enough to carry you to the next level. So on today's Cabral Concept 3680, I'll explain why weight loss plateaus are completely normal, why the scale can be misleading, and what practical next steps to take so you can break through frustration and keep moving forward.

How Inflammation Disrupts Fat-Burning Hormones
Why is it that some people eat well, exercise consistently, and still struggle to lose weight? If you've ever felt like your body is fighting against you instead of working with you, today's episode may provide the missing piece. Emerging research suggests that fat cells don't just store energy they may also act as a protective buffer against chronic inflammation. That means your body could be swelling existing fat cells or even creating new ones in response to internal stress, toxins, hormone imbalances, or immune activation. So on today's Cabral Concept 3673, I'll break down the research behind how inflammation disrupts fat-burning hormones and share practical strategies to lower inflammation, so your body no longer feels the need to hold onto protective fat.

This Causes Your Body to Create More Fat Cells
Did you know that while most of your fat cells are created in childhood, your body can still create new ones later in life? On today's show, we break down the difference between fat cell expansion and fat cell creation, and what triggers the body to increase its fat storage capacity. We also explore why sustainable fat loss is not about extreme dieting, but about reducing inflammation, rebalancing hormones, supporting detox pathways, and restoring metabolic health at the root cause. Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3666 to learn how to work with your body for long-term weight loss and wellness.

Your Stubborn Body Fat Is Acting as a Buffer (How to Unblock it)
If fat loss feels impossible, the issue may not be calories or exercise. What if that resistance isn't a failure of willpower or metabolism, but a protective response from your body? On today's show, we explore how body fat acts as a biological buffer, safely storing toxins, excess hormones, and inflammatory compounds when detox pathways are overwhelmed. We'll go over why forcing fat loss too quickly can backfire, how supporting lymphatic flow and liver detoxification plays a key role in sustainable weight loss, and what foundational steps need to be in place before the body is ready to let go of stored fat. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3659 to learn why your stubborn body fat is acting as a buffer and how to unblock it.

Does Sardine Fasting for Longevity Really Work?
Sardines are one of the most nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods you can eat, but does eating only sardines actually count as fasting? On today's show, I break down the growing trend of "sardine fasting," explain why it's gaining popularity, and clarify the key differences between true fasting, fasting-mimicking diets, and simply following a low-calorie, high-protein plan. You'll learn why sardines, while incredibly healthy, do not lower IGF-1 or activate AMPK, why that matters for longevity and autophagy, and when a sardine-only day may—or may not—make sense depending on your goals. Join me on today's Cabral Concept, Episode 3646, to find out whether the sardine fasting diet really works and what you can do instead to achieve better results.
