Medical anthropologist and shamanic teacher Alberto Villoldo joins us to explore the intersection of ancient healing traditions, neuroscience, nutrition, fasting, the gut microbiome, trauma, spirituality, and what it means to become fully embodied. Alberto shares his perspective that modern life can keep the nervous system trapped in fight-or-flight, while practices that cultivate inner peace may support a healthier relationship with the body. We also explore his teachings on “soul retrieval,” the hero's journey, shadow work, and why he believes healing must ultimately include body, mind, and soul. His health and nutrition statements in this conversation reflect his own views and should not be taken as individualized medical advice.
