Publisher Description
Growing older is inevitable, but aging can be prevented, even reversed—but only when you upgrade your brain, using both ancient and modern science, to create psychosomatic health.
A healthy brain is the foundation for a healthier and more fulfilling life, and in Grow A New Brain, modern shamanic practitioner Alberto Villoldo reveals research and introduces protocols for readers to improve their brain function, right now. It combines ancient and modern science to eliminate old senescent cells, detoxify your brain and body, reduce inflammation, increase the growth of brain cells that support neuroplasticity, and more. Readers will learn:
- How to turn your kitchen into a shaman’s laboratory to make your own probiotics that repair that gut and produce neurotransmitters that balance the brain.
- How to use shamanic meditative techniques to switch on genes for health and turn off genes for illness and disease, and drawing on the science of epigenetics how to avoid being trapped in the destiny inherent in your genetic coding
- How to reverse damage to the brain caused by free radicals and restore the functioning of our mitochondria (or power centers) in our cells.
- How to increase the amount of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) you produce, allowing you to grow new brain cells (neurogenesis) that will support neuroplasticity.

"A powerful synthesis of wisdom from seemingly unrelated disciplines: shamanic knowledge and modern science. The amount of research and vision in this masterpiece is massive. Dr. Alberto Villoldo effortlessly and elegantly presents a fascinating narrative at the junction of biology, neuroscience, psychology, and the ancient wisdom of the sages from the Amazon and the Andes and their approach to health, to life, to death, and to connection to Spirit and Mother Earth. The reader is shown two paths. The first path is, from the womb to the grave, to stay in the grip of fate, taken over by disease, zombie cells, and stress. The other path is to upgrade the brain and rebuild its ability to love, to get access to one’s higher self, to thrive. Dr. Villoldo provides his reader with a clear and concise 10-day protocol to grow a new brain with superfoods and neuro-nutrients along with the spiritual practices that will facilitate the healing journey. It’s a no-brainer choice!"
