Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Stephen Cabral, a naturopathic doctor and founder of the Cabral Wellness Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. We discuss Ayurveda, CBD oil, alcohol, bio individuality, functional medicine, and dynamic relationships.  Dr. Cabral shares his story of his “mystery illness” diagnosis in high school and being unable to find any cures or answers with conventional medicine. He began to study everything he could find in the realm of functional medicine and healing the human body with natural measures. He traveled the world searching for answers within Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Chinese medicine, and other holistic modalities until he was able to heal himself. Today, Dr. Cabral firmly believes that there is not a person alive today that cannot achieve wellness with the proper healing measures.

I rap with Stephen Cabral about Ayurveda, CBD oil, alcohol, and human connections:

• CBD oil, or cannabidiol, and what ailments and diseases it can alleviate and cure
• The belief that as you age you need less sleep, is a myth
• Alcohol, Blue Zones and how community involvement leads to more overall life enjoyment and connectivity

What you’ll get out of tuning in:

• A greater understanding of CBD oil, where it comes from, what it is used for, and why it is beneficial for everyone
• The importance of keeping a balance in your body through the change of seasons and throughout your life
• The benefits of surrounding yourself with a tribe that will help propel your forward on your path towards health and thrive
