They really have to worry about high testosterone and  high estrogen.” – Dr. Stephen Cabral “The problem is that every form of medicine believes it’s the only form of medicine, and no other medicine can exist because it has the answer for everything.” – Dr. Stephen Cabral   Resources Mentioned: Dr. Stephen Cabral: Linkedin Instagram Twitter   Stephencabral.com Podcast: The Cabral Concept Integrative Health Practitioner: integrativehealthpractitioner.org   #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #naturopathicmedicine #integrativehealth #functionalmedicine #wellness
