Today's guest is Dr. Stephen Cabral, a board-certified naturopathic doctor and founder of the Cabral Wellness Institute. He's on a mission to help people understand that there is always a reason why you have not achieved your wellness goals and that you can get well again. 

At seventeen, Dr. Cabral was diagnosed with a life-altering illness and given no hope for recovery. It was only after he traveled all over the world and discovered how to combine ancient Ayurvedic healing practices with state of the art naturopathic and functional medicine, did he understand how to fully rebalance the body, reenergize it with life and feel his best.

In this episode, we get extra personal – decoding my own minerals and metals test to uncover strengths, and yes, areas which can be improved. 

Dr. Cabral and his team have seen over a quarter of a million clients; through their functional medicine, lab testing, and personalized wellness plans, they’ve helped people regain and rebalance their mind and body to recover from autoimmune issues, thyroid, fatigue, hormone, weight gain, digestive, childhood, mood, skin, and dozens of other hard to treat health conditions.

Special thanks to Dr. Cabral because he hooked it up! He’s offering free minerals and metals tests to the first 100 Be Well By Kelly listeners, all you have to pay is the shipping and handling. You’re invited to visit stephencabral.com/Kelly to start your own testing journey, today.
