About the Book: In Grow a New Brain, shamanic practitioner and medical anthropologist Alberto Villoldo offers a transformative approach to reversing the effects of aging by upgrading your brain through both ancient wisdom and modern science. He shares protocols to detoxify the mind and body, eliminate senescent cells, reduce inflammation, and support neuroplasticity. Villoldo teaches how to use your kitchen as a “shaman’s lab” to create gut-healing probiotics, apply shamanic meditative techniques to influence genetic expression, and boost BDNF levels to grow new brain cells. With tools drawn from cutting-edge research and Indigenous healing traditions, the book empowers readers to restore cognitive vitality and achieve holistic well-being.
