Nick Polizzi

Nick Polizzi is an author, documentary filmmaker, and founder of The Sacred Science. His public work centers on traditional healing systems, indigenous plant medicine, shamanic traditions, herbalism, energy medicine, and natural/holistic alternatives to conventional medicine.

He is best known for directing and producing the 2011 documentary The Sacred Science, which followed eight people with serious illnesses into the Amazon rainforest for a month of work with indigenous healers and plant medicines. Official Sacred Science materials describe his mission as honoring, preserving, and protecting ancient healing knowledge and rituals of indigenous peoples.

Polizzi later authored The Sacred Science: An Ancient Healing Path for the Modern World and co-authored Exhausted: How to Revitalize, Restore, and Renew Your Energy with Pedram Shojai, OMD. Google Books bios describe him as founder of The Sacred Science, director of the feature documentary by the same name, and host/executive producer of the docuseries Remedy: Ancient Medicines for Modern Illness.

His earlier film credits include directing The Tapping Solution: Try It on Everything and editing credits on Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days. Current Sacred Science posts list him as founder and as executive producer of docuseries including Healing Kitchen: Let Food Be Thy Medicine and Remedy: Ancient Medicine for Modern Illness.

Important context: Polizzi is a filmmaker and wellness educator, not a licensed clinician in the sources reviewed here. His work frequently presents patient stories, traditional-healer perspectives, herbs, plant medicines, shamanic ceremony, and natural-medicine education; any disease-treatment claims should be treated as educational/source-trail material rather than clinical advice unless independently supported and reviewed by qualified clinicians.
