Publisher's Synopsis
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.
