Whatever level of health and wellbeing we believe we are living can be dismantled quickly through this deep body, brain and biofield detox protocol called ‘Grow A New Body’ devised by Dr Alberto Villoldo, medical anthropologist, psychologist and shaman. It is based in powerful plant based nutrients designed to transform our health.

Dr Alberto Villoldo devised this protocol with various medical doctors and nutritionists based on 25 years of research in both western and shamanic knowledge and traditions. The lines between east and west have been blurred as he brings science and spirit together to produce a comprehensive detoxification solution for our modern fast-paced lifestyles.

Many of us are doing regular exercise, eating relatively well and essentially enjoying moderate lives. Only you know how you feel and until you challenge your inner status quo to upgrade and regenerate, otherwise the wheel of life will keep degenerating. Epigenetics now tells us we can change our gene expression based on our thoughts, habits, attitude and environment. Who knows what you may be capable of in the future. Life is better when we are thriving! If deep wellbeing and awareness is low on your ‘values’ list, consider the following scientific facts…

As we dream our lives into being each day, we project our future through the physical density of our brains. Without thinking about it, we have to unconditionally accept that a 40-50 year lifetime requires some level of body and brain detoxification. That to me is a given. From a scientific perspective, mitochondria are essential for brain repair and restoration.

Dr Villoldo states, ‘just as dead plants in the forest get turned into food for new plants with the help of microbes that break them down, your body has a system for recycling the amino acids from dead and damaged mitochondria to make new cells. It is called autophagy... detoxifying is another way to jump-start mitochondria’.

If we are going to be examples for our spritely youth, we have to learn healthy ways to sustain our wellbeing over our lifetime. Oxidative stress on the body is one of the main causes for all inflammation in the body. As freeradicals increase with stress and dysfunctional lifestyle choices, the ageing process increases and vice versa. If stress is a constant in our lives, free-radicals eventually outnumber our naturally produced anti-oxidant producing Nrf2 pathway.

Feeling depleted is a common occurrence and is then propped up by supplementation, coffee or other substances. Are you aware of these facts? Doesn’t returning to the core issue of upgrading the Nrf2 functional pathway makes more sense?

Many people live with chronic levels of inflammation in the body, knowingly and unknowingly. Prolonged inflammation due to stress results in the immune system attacking healthy cells and tissues creating autoimmune disorders. The Nrf2 activators have antiinflammatory properties that can reverse inflammation damage in the body and brain.

The fastest growing health issue in our modern world is an array of autoimmune diseases that are evolving faster than we are. Is this the legacy we want to leave for our youth? The hippocampus in the brain regulates emotions, maintains our learning ability and stores our memories. It is also damaged by inflammation resulting in fear based thinking and forgetfulness. Life essentially becomes lifeless as the foundations for a joyful life found through curiosity, healthy connection and laughter slowly decline. Again rates of anxiety, depression and mental emotional wellbeing issues have never been higher in any age groups.

The brain is a physical organ and is 70% fat. If toxins are stored in fat, can you imagine what may be stored there in terms of our life experiences, out-dated habits, behaviour and patterns? Every experience has an energetic imprint that is stored. Scientists now know that brain health can be repaired and boosted with glutathione, BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor) and SOD (superoxide dismutase). Glutathione neutralises free-radicals as it is an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent found in foods such as spinach, avocado and kale.

BDNF also repairs the brain and helps rewire beneficial neural pathways that counteract depression and dementia. SOD is another power enzyme that neutralises free-radicals and naturally reduces oxidative stress. The message here is that when all 3 naturally occurring substances are suppressed by a lifetime of damaging physical, mental, emotional and environmental influences, the body, brain and biofield are in need of an upgrade.

From Dr Villoldo’s deeper perspective, these substances ‘clear debris in the brain and allow us to experience Oneness that naturally optimises our health and ability to dream our world into being in a powerful and creative way’.

This detoxification process then naturally upgrades our organ function and energy flow in the body so we can not only feel better but also begin to appreciate and enjoy the necessary rituals and practices of movement, meditation, expression, gratitude and many other sustainable activities we choose to engage in on our lifelong sustainable wellbeing path. Wellness must evolve from the current state of disease care to prevention if we want a healthy living future.

With Wellness being the foundation for true agency, now is the time to courageously harness our latent potential and embody a new regenerative way of life.

Vitality, longevity, and clarity are restored when we commit to ourselves deeply.
