0:00.0	Welcome to the MyBuddyGreen podcast. I'm Jason Wachib, founder and co-CEO of MyBuddyGreen and your host.
0:07.2	Hey everyone, the iconic Deepak Chopra needs no introduction, so I'm going to get right to it.
0:13.3	In today's show, he discusses what we don't spend enough time on in the longevity conversation,
0:18.7	spirituality. We tend to talk a lot about nutrition, supplements, exercise, and even
0:23.6	biohacking, but not enough about the spiritual side of longevity and health span. Deepak is here
0:29.3	today to provide his necessary wisdom. Our conversation definitely changed how I view longevity
0:36.0	in this day and age, and I bet you'll walk away from the show feeling a lot lighter. Enjoy.
0:42.5	Deepak, welcome back. It is so great to see you. Always a pleasure. You look fantastic.
0:49.6	Congrats on the new book, Living in the Light. I think the last time I saw you in person was back in
0:56.3	June 2019 at our Revitalize event when we honored you with our Lifetime Achievement Award,
1:02.2	and I believe the last time we spoke was virtually sometimes during the middle of COVID in the spring
1:10.0	of 2020. So I'll start with, how have you been? What have you been up to? I've been very well. I've
1:18.3	been experimenting with something called the longevity experiment, extending human health span,
1:30.6	just finished this book, which is out, Living in the Light, Yoga of Self-Realization.
1:37.2	Another book coming out end of this year called Quantum Body, which is about the future of
1:44.2	longevity and well-being, and then another book called Awakening, My Personal Story. So I've
1:52.9	been busy. Wow. So again on the theme of longevity, I think you're 76. As I mentioned, you look great,
2:00.1	you sound great, you're sharp, you're vibrant, you're still writing books, you've written I think
2:05.7	90 plus books, you're out there doing interviews, and you know, I'm curious. In terms of longevity,
2:12.6	we tend to talk here on my mother green a lot about nutrition, supplements, exercise, biohacking,
2:20.5	but maybe not enough about the spiritual components. And I'm curious, what's your take on what's
2:29.5	required spiritually in terms of our human existence on this planet in the context of longevity,
