The Melissa Ambrosini Show

What if you could literally grow a new body — one that’s resistant to disease, can heal super fast, and that’s wired for energy and vitality? According to today’s podcast guest, Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D., this isn't a crazy pipe dream… it’s 100% possible. And in this inspiring episode, he’s sharing the ancient shamanic healing secrets that can help us transform our health at a cellular level to create ultimate wellness. Head to https://melissaambrosini.com/185 for full episode resources and more inspiring weekly episodes. Dr Alberto Villoldo is a medical anthropologist and best-selling author of 17 books. Dubbed the “Indiana Jones of the Spirit World” by the New York Times, he has studied the shamanic healing practices of the Amazon and Andes for over 30 years. He’s also the founder of the Four Winds Society and Light Body School, which trains certified energy medicine practitioners to combine ancient shamanic teachings with modern science. This conversation blew me away.
