Summary

This newly revised edition of a Wall Street Journal bestseller offers an accessible guide to an ancient practice for healing and transformation--including new science, recipes, and more。

Featuring new, cutting-edge science, recipes, and a 10-day meal plan!
Our minds, our emotions, our relationships, and our bodies are out of kilter。 We know it, but we tend to ignore it until something brings us up short--a worrying diagnosis, a broken relationship, or simply an inability to function harmoniously in everyday life。 When things are a little off, we read a self-help book。 When they're really bad, we bring in oncologists to address cancer, neurologists to repair the brain, psychologists to help us understand our family of origin。
This fragmented approach to health is merely a stopgap。 To truly heal, we need to return to the original recipe for wellness discovered by shamans millennia ago。
Drawing on more than 25 years of experience as a medical anthropologist--as well as his own journey back from the edge of death--acclaimed shamanic teacher Alberto Villoldo shows you how to detoxify the brain and gut with superfoods; use techniques for working with our luminous energy fields to heal your body; and follow the ancient path of the medicine wheel to shed disempowering stories from the past and pave the way for rebirth。
Using the principles and practices in this book, you can feel better in a few days, begin to clear your mind and heal your brain in a week, and in six weeks be on your way to a new body--one that heals rapidly, retains its youthful vitality, and keeps you connected to Spirit, to the earth, and to a renewed sense of purpose in your life。

Fascinating。 Read it in Dutch, was at first sceptical of Al the nutrition stuff but then it kicked home。 I'm not sure if I'll follow the programme at some point in the future, but I am integrating the good foods and good advice for sure。 The chapters on the medicine wheel I loved the most - but then I'm a sucker for symbolism and unity experiences!

The author expresses a holistic view of well-being。 The clarity of the physical side being requisite for clarity of the mental/spiritual side; and vice-versa。 Replete with nutritional information, the book weaves this wisdom into the wisdom of a shamanic approach to living well。 The author encourages the reader to form of a heroic story-line that serves as a guiding undertow to a life of health, fulfillment and earthly community。

I really liked how this book connected health and spirituality。 There were some spiritual concepts I couldn't really grasp, but I felt it was a good introduction to them。 While the 21-day program feels too prescriptive to me and I don't really believe in "resets", there were a few key pieces of information I learned that are highlighted in this book and have also appeared in other material I've read that seem to be important to good health。 I really liked how this book connected health and spirituality。 There were some spiritual concepts I couldn't really grasp, but I felt it was a good introduction to them。 While the 21-day program feels too prescriptive to me and I don't really believe in "resets", there were a few key pieces of information I learned that are highlighted in this book and have also appeared in other material I've read that seem to be important to good health。 。。。more

What I don’t want to see in a book about health is the mentioning of Harry Potter and The Lord of the rings, otherwise this book was informative。

I really took my time reading this book。 It's filled with so much wonderful information。 I was doing my own research on some of the supplements while I read it。 I do take most of the supplements now。 I am almost through 3 weeks of eating more naturally whole foods and taking supplements。 Everyone around saw a difference in my weight and the glow of my skin within the first week。 What a difference! Our minds, bodies and souls definitely need equal attention。 I'm so thankful for this book and for I really took my time reading this book。 It's filled with so much wonderful information。 I was doing my own research on some of the supplements while I read it。 I do take most of the supplements now。 I am almost through 3 weeks of eating more naturally whole foods and taking supplements。 Everyone around saw a difference in my weight and the glow of my skin within the first week。 What a difference!

Veel te veel supplementen。 En alle dieettrends worden genoemd。 Niks nieuws。

Ilona Acs

Geweldige inzichten over een spiritueel leven opbouwen, dat alles te maken heeft met gezondheid en uitlegt wat gezond is。

Poppy Villavicencio

Great program。 Felt amazing when complete。 Will definitely do it again。 Hard。 I planned a lot of time around doing it and it took a lot of effort to complete。 Totally worth it。

Liv

The best book in its genre I have read in some time。 I may revise my rating up should incorporating the precepts yield the results described。

although I will not be doing the suggested "treatment", I think this book will make you think differently of how you eat。 I have made beneficial changes in my own diet and will keep considering options moving forward。I have not tried any on the supplements, but may one day。 For now, the positive changes are were I will keep focus。 although I will not be doing the suggested "treatment", I think this book will make you think differently of how you eat。 I have made beneficial changes in my own diet and will keep considering options moving forward。I have not tried any on the supplements, but may one day。 For now, the positive changes are were I will keep focus。 。。。more

I eagerly anticipated this book。。。to my peril。 Seems like Villoldo has decided to round up literally EVERY SINGLE ONE of the current nutrition trends and now try to tell us that this is how MesoAmerican shamans ate。 It's literally all here。 Keto? Yup。 Intermittent fasting? Uh huh。 Gluten free and dairy free? You bet。 Plant based? YOU KNOW IT。 In fact, he argues that meat is basically bad for you。 Uh, my Native American ancestors were hunters and fishers。 I'm。。。not buying that they were less spir I eagerly anticipated this book。。。to my peril。 Seems like Villoldo has decided to round up literally EVERY SINGLE ONE of the current nutrition trends and now try to tell us that this is how MesoAmerican shamans ate。 It's literally all here。 Keto?

The part that aggravated me the most is I've read almost all of his books, yet I never heard that particular anecdote he whips out at the beginning where he was literally at deaths' door for MONTHS until shamans came and changed his diet。 Others have rightly critiqued the book for also selling out in other ways。 The supplements he promotes are rather pricey, and he doesn't issue any warnings! I'll be honest, I tried the vitamin regimen for two weeks, and then I just got sick of being nauseous all the time。 Turns out, if you eat actual food, and then you take Zinc (a supplement he insists is essential), you can get zinc toxicity! It's quite common for people to take zinc and feel nauseous and hey, it ain't detox。 It's an adverse reaction。 Yet no warning in this book about it at all。 No thanks, I'll hang onto my Wahl's Protocol diet。 And I'll think thrice before buying his next book。 This was a sell out。 。。。more

This was an important book for me and reflects the efforts of The author as well as his collaborators Dr Mark Hyman and Dr David Perlmutter。 Science and shamanism come together here if you choose to follow the precepts。

Thelma

Great Book to start a new body and life!! I really recommend this book for anyone who needs to reboot their health and is looking to go beyond the typical nutritional programs。。 This book goes deeper to the causes that are bringing you down。a new way to eat, great vitamin and supplements suggestions and many more。。 love Alberto Villoldos work and Grow a new body was not the exception。。 looking forward to continuing learning and reading more from Dr。 Alberto。

I started already。 For me it is the day 4 of preparing for the grow a new body program。 It is great how this book combines physical, mental and spiritual aspects。 The following text is about the diet because that's where I've started。This book was a bit exhausting to read because of all the scientific proofing。 Also the instructions are scattered in the different chapters。 It could be a good idea to make notes while reading。 I've been jumping between some of the chapters to make sure I understand what I should do。 There is a great advice scattered in the chapters。 After I succeed with the diet I'm going to study more closely the medicine wheel instructions。 Some practices described in this book I already have in my daily routine。The diet sections had couple of contradictions。 The nightshade plants where instructed to avoid at least during the preparation period, but some of the recipes included tomatoes。 It might be that I'm confusing the guidance for different phases of the diet。 And there was instructions to make fermented rice, but also rice was instructed to be avoided。I made conclusion that the preparation diet is a ketogenic vegetarian diet。 The grow a new body phase is same including more super foods and super healing supplements for short period only。 And after the program the diet is ketogenic with meat, fish and eggs if wanted。There is the section "What to Except" of the grow a new body program。 Based on my four days I already experience detox symptoms described in that chapter and I've only started the preparations。 That probably depends on how big of a change the preparation diet is for you。 A ketogenic vegan diet with intermittent fasting for 18 hours every day is a huge change for me。 I've included for my personal plan also tips from other sources how to minimize the keto flu。 I could have planned even better if looking for recipes first (e。g。 what is seasonal now in Finland) and sorting how I have to change my schedule to be home early enough to cook and eat before 6 pm and preparing food advance to make it easier and save time。 。。。more
