Although this did work for body transformation it certainly is not the best formula for overall peak health or longevity…

So on today...

The health of people in the United States has been steadily declining for years.     While there are many contributing factors, the concerning reality is that both lifespan and the number of healthy years people are living are on the decline.     On today's show, I'll be discussing a study that sheds light on why this is happening and the factors contributing to the rise in disease and mortality, so that we can finally put a stop to this and reverse the trend.     Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3189 as we explore the top 7 nutritional deficiencies that can lead to early death and wh...

It's important to heal and seal the gut wall to prevent bacteria and toxins from entering the bloodstream, which can trigger an immune system reaction and inflammation.
