Dr. Stephen Cabral joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to unpack the sleep habits he believes most doctors never explain clearly. A naturopathic doctor and longtime podcast host, Dr. Stephen Cabral has spent his career studying how deep sleep, hormones, and everyday environment shape long-term health.
The conversation moves from blue light and REM sleep into hormones, gut health, genetics versus epigenetics, and even the decision to sell his own medical practice. Throughout, Dr. Cabral shares his personal framework rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
