What it's about

After nearly two decades traveling between Fort Lauderdale and Rio de Janeiro, Peter Agro noticed something: in Brazil — surrounded by fresh food, ocean air, and daily movement — his body simply worked better. The bloating disappeared, his energy returned, his strength grew.

The Brazilian Protocol is his 14-day cellular reset built on that discovery: a simple, repeatable system of high-potassium whole foods, daily movement, and mindfulness that restores the sodium-potassium balance modern life throws off. This is not a diet. It's a reset — a two-week experiment you run on yourself, with clear daily chapters covering exactly what to eat, how to move, and what to expect. By Day 14, your body shows you what it's capable of.

Where it comes from

These are my own photographs from Rio — the meals I actually ate, the markets I bought from, and the city that showed me what my body was capable of. This is what fourteen days looks like.

What readers are saying

★★★★★

I loved how easy this book is to read and how practical the advice is. There's zero fluff—just simple things you can actually start doing the exact same day you read it.

I've only been following the protocol for a short time, but I'm already feeling more energy and a much better mood.

★★★★★

Good straight forward advice with a clear plan to follow. A friend recommended this book to me and I enjoyed the "common sense" approach to building up strength and energy.

It is time to get back to the basics and Peter's approach resonated with me.
