Publisher's summary

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 growing 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.  

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excelent information

Get this if you feel off, and you know you can fix it with food and supplements.
It’s easy to follow, though expensive.

His accent sometimes got in the way, found I had to rewind a bit and re-listen.

Overall an amazing contribution.

Fascinating, will change your life

Absolutely fascinating! Completely shifted my views on nutrition. So simple to implement right away even if you can't start the nutrition overhaul.

Excellent blend of science and spirit!!

This book is the result of the author's obviously great passion for wellness and helping others. Satisfy your mind with the experience of a doctor, then allow your heart to soak in the wisdom of a shaman :)

This sounds good but not easily put into practice.

I tried the 18-hour fast but could not stay with it. If you are health compromised it would not be something easy to do. For myself I got terrible symptoms from 18-hour fasting. Too dizzy to keep fasting. Can you say h-angry? The remedy for h-angry is taking S-Boulardii (Florastor) which makes things even worse. But I am also detoxing emotions simultaneously.

You don't have to read your own book.

It's an interesting subject that I have been eyeing for months. The book is both informative and educational. He does not wear me down recounting his thought process and how he got there, which is to say the book is not overrun with chatter. I appreciate the resulting information that is presented.
I must say, however, that I am completely thrown off by the Dr.'s narration. He stumbles over words, poorly pronounces others, and leaves me on more than one occasion thinking, didn't you write this? It is unfortunate that no one advised the Dr. to either practice his pronounciation or find someone with the vocal skills of his choosing to present this work. It is nice to hear the author narrate materail but unfortuntely, not in this case. This is no reflection on the content of the material, simply the execution. English was not my father's 1st language either and I would have offered him the same suggestion. You don't have to read your own book.

A gift

This updated version is worth listening to even if you've read the original book, there's a lot more in it. The author has a wonderful kind voice and it's really special to hear him teach/read his own work. I did this programme 2 years ago, have continued the principles and remain healed. A real blessing. If you're open to healing for whatever reason, this book may change your life.

No PDF...

Great book that’s very difficult to put into practice without an accompanying PDF. There’s a whole chapter that’s left out, and when I contacted the author’s website customer service, I was simply directed to the website selling me expensive retreats and training programs.

If a PDF (with the Grow a New Body program outlined, supplement dosages, and questionnaire) is added to the audio download, I’ll change my rating.

Old and new wisdom

There is a lot of information in the audiobook. Most or it resonated with me deeply. This book could be used on many levels, you could simply enjoy it's content and revel in the wisdom, or you could follow the plan laid out in this book to change your physical, mental and emotional being. The only annoying this is the reading out of all the recipes in this book, but they can easily be skipped. I recommend it.

Good applicable content, poor performance

Rich content explaining different aspects of how to build a healthier body in a simple yet detailed way. It was hard to keep track of the performance but still a book I would recommend for people seeking a healthier body.

Wow

Amazing. All of his advice resonated with me and much of it was information I had never heard before. As an avid researcher and natural health enthusiast, I don't often come across so much new and actionable information from a single source. I've already begun my journey on his protocol. I'm excited to see where this goes for me.

It lies deep within when you know it is a universal truth of in a knowledge and wisdom that can do nothing but change your view point of life. A deep sense of gratitude to having come across this book and the knowledge that is in it as my life has changed already from following the advice within it. Definitely a must read for anyone.

frustrating

soooo long winded yes we need some background but so much repetition so many unneeded WORDS WORDS WORDS ...I just really wanted to scream. even at the last stages he is repeating again points already driven home multiple times, unnecessary arcs, self indulgent and exhausting.
