Dementia rates are skyrocketing, and cognitive decline is a growing concern. But what if you could actually grow a new brain? In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Alberto Villoldo, PhD, a medical anthropologist and shamanic healer (and author of Grow a New Brain), to explore the powerful intersection of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge neuroscience.

In this eye-opening conversation, you’ll discover:

  • The Amazonian secret to protecting the brain from dementia and cognitive decline.
  • How certain plant compounds can activate your body’s natural detox and repair systems.
  • The surprising role of gut health in brain regeneration—and how to reset your microbiome.
  • Why serotonin depletion is wreaking havoc on mental health and how to restore balance.
  • How shamanic healing and modern science align to create lasting cognitive health.


Tune in to learn how you can take control of your brain health and unlock the potential for true regeneration.
