With the discovery of agriculture 10,000 years ago, the human life span was reduced in half. We stopped eating plant products and began to eat processed grains and animals, giving rise to a new social class of masters and slaves, religions (“give us this day our daily bread”) and warfare. There is no archeological evidence of warfare prior to the invention of agriculture. Grains are carbs that turn into sugars. Sugars feed our lower brain, which is predatory, violent, greedy, and needs 10 commandments, so we do not kill or steal. Wheat contains gluten, a protein that is not recognized by the bodies of 90% of the human population. Gluten cleaves the tight junctions of the GI tract, allowing food particles and microflora to get into the bloodstream, creating massive inflammation and autoimmune diseases.

The incidence of allergies in non-agricultural people is 1 in 1,500. In agricultural societies it is 1 in 3. The evolution of agriculture was quickly followed by widespread animal breeding, butchering and consumption. Recent research shows that the human body does not need, nor tolerate, excessive eating of animal protein. In humans, we now know, too much animal protein in the diet stimulates the mTOR pathway—part of a complex protein sensing system—which can cause out-of-control growth of cancer cells. Beyond detrimental dietary changes, the loss of ancient Paleolithic belief systems—oneness of spirit, oneness of life—we become disconnected, disenfranchised (in the earth, not of the earth). We ignore the voice of spirit and nature and we look at the bounty of nature merely as resources for human consumption. We become commercially driven and forget about stewardship and sustainability—the price of which will always be too high. The damage we have wreaked on the ecosystem is irreversible, and has doomed the human race to early extinction.

Eating three meals a day is killing us—we used to feast and fast. At the heart of Grow a New Body is an age-old practice called the Vision Quest. Through fasting and meditation, a Vision Quest awakens the body’s self-repair and regeneration systems and reconnects you to Spirit and your own deepest purpose. We fast to turn on the body’s repair mechanisms and clear brain fog. Even during a very short fast, amazing things happen to the body and brain. In just 24 hours, the production of human growth hormone increases by 1,500 percent, repairing cells that make up our tissues. Not eating sugars for as little as 18 hours wakes up the body’s system for self-repair, detoxifies cells, and switches on the longevity genes.

The first three weeks of the program are for you to prepare your body, mind and soul for the more intense 7-day detox. During this time, you will be able to study and adapt your lifestyle and diet accordingly. After this phase, you will go into deep repair mode in for exactly 7 days.

In principle, the Grow a New Body detox can always be started. You can decide for yourself when the time is right for you. In the Grow a New Body program, you have the chance to do the 3-week preparation and the 7-day detox together with a community and share your experience in the weekly live calls.

We recommend allocating enough time for the program. If you know in advance that you have a vacation, important birthdays or other celebrations coming up in the next 30 days, you may prefer to choose a period that is less eventful. The important thing is that you feel comfortable with the starting point and don't feel like you have to stress about nutrition.

Yes, continue to take your medications as normal and continue to take your supplements if they serve to treat any health conditions you might have. The 4-week Grow a New Body program includes a wide range of supplements, therefore there is no need for additional supplements during this time. If you have any medical concerns, please check with your doctor beforehand.

 To reap the benefits of the program, you need to invest in supplements for the preparation phase as well as for the 7-day detox. The cost for the supplements will vary depending on where in the world you live and the suppliers that you have access to. We like Pure Encapsulations brand, but we encourage you to check with your local retailers in your area or online. The total costs can start at around $400.

We also offer a budget-friendly supplement suggestion list, where the total cost of supplements comes to under $100.

Before the start of the course, you will be given a list with recommended suppliers. It is not recommended to leave out any of these supplements, as they all work synergistically together in order for them to be effective in this program.
