Summary

Deepak Chopra, M.D., is one of the first pioneers of wellness and quite possibly the most widely recognized spirituality figure in the world. He began his career in the 1970s as an internist and went on to specialize in neuroendocrinology, the study of neuropeptides and neurotransmitters, which at the time was groundbreaking. That was just the beginning! Flash-forward to 2018, and he's just released his latest book—one of at least 80 he's written in his 71 years on Earth—called The Healing Self, all about empowering readers to be in control of their own health by managing stress and inflammation levels. In this episode, Dr. Chopra shares years' worth of hard-earned wisdom from his own personal life as well as his spiritual views. We discuss the truth behind making a profit on wellness, Dr. Chopra's spiritual belief systems, his exact morning routine, how to raise a conscious and mindful kid, his surprising social media practices, how he's managed to avoid all stress for the last 35 years, and the philosophies he thinks will help us defeat the current global insanity crisis going on in the world today. If you want a new perspective on the role of wellness in your own personal healing, and that of the world, tune in to hear Dr. Chopra's refreshingly honest take.

0:53.0	Personally, my wife Colleen and I have been obsessing
0:56.0	over their lean and clean box,
0:58.0	which features meals that are high in protein, gluten-free,
