IN this companion to his international bestseller Grow a New Body, Dr. Alberto Villoldo explains why animal proteins are wreaking havoc on our health-and how a plant-based diet rich in epigenetic foods can reverse the damage. Returning to the ancient way of eating can silence the genes that promote disease and switch on your innate longevity programs. By turning your kitchen into a living laboratory and growing your own probiotics, you can improve the health of your gut microbiome. The plant-based superfoods in this book will help you nurture a new illumined brain and craft a healthy destiny and renewed sense of purpose in life.
