Rewilding Wellness: Reclaiming Ancient Medicine and Ancestral Wisdom to Revolutionize the Future of HealthWhat if healing isn't something we need to chase, but something we need to remember?
In Rewilding Wellness, Dr. Kristy M. Vanacore offers a new way of understanding health—one that moves beyond fragmented symptoms and isolated solutions to explore the deeper conditions that allow human beings to heal, regulate, reconnect, and thrive.
Drawing from nearly three decades of clinical work and weaving together psychology, nervous-system science, biology, somatic and whole-person health, nature, ancient medicine, and ancestral wisdom, Rewilding Wellness explores how modern life has disconnected us from many of the rhythms, relationships, and ways of living that have sustained human well-being for generations.
Rather than offering another rigid protocol or quick fix, the book invites readers to widen the lens: to understand the relationships between mind and body, stress and physiology, health and environment, individual and family, and modern science and enduring wisdom.
At its heart, Rewilding Wellness is both a roadmap and a remembering—an invitation to restore the conditions that allow us to return to greater vitality, connection, resilience, and wholeness.
“A clear and heartfelt roadmap for reconnecting with our own inner nature and the living world around us…Rewilding Wellness is grounded, authentic, and alive!”

Rewilding: A Woman’s Quest to Remember Her Roots, Rekindle Her Instincts, and Reclaim Her Sovereignty
Rewilding invites readers into Kristy’s intimate, raw, and intensely relatable account of metamorphosing from near death and disassociation to resolving complex trauma, awakening to purpose and reclaiming her truth.
Emotionally numb, physically broken, slowly dying from her own pathologies, and deeply conflicted about Western medicine’s detached approach to fixing symptoms, Kristy’s spirit longed to break free. Then she heard an inner calling from an ancient lineage of medicine women who lured her to love her “wild,” let her run free, and blaze her own trail.
Walk with Kristy as she recounts her heroine’s journey into both shadow and light, ultimately resolving lifelong trauma and healing herself through the sacred path of Shamanism and various holistic-artistic modalities. What emerged was the beauty and grace of her feral-foal nature, dancing in the light, singing her truth, and finding peace in ceremonial communion with nature.
Rewilding is for anyone who has been reined back by dogma, domestication, societal conditioning, trauma, and limiting self-beliefs. Kristy’s story will inspire you to courageously discover your own hidden wisdom, curiosity, joy, passion and authentic gifts within.
