| 0:00.0 | There's this feeling of helplessness when you get to the point where you had the accelerator |
| 0:03.6 | press all the way down and you're slowing down. And I think a lot of people are there. I had 300 pounds by the time I was 23 years old. High risk of stroke and heart attack, chronic fatigue syndrome. Went to the doctor. I'm like, something's wrong. And like, nothing's wrong. It's all in your head. I'm just like, I'm going to have to do this myself. The idea behind biohacking, |
| 0:21.2 | it's the art and science of changing the environment around you and inside of you, so you have |
| 0:26.1 | full control of your own biology. That means you control your state. It means that if you're |
| 0:30.2 | feeling off, there's a technique that brings you back quickly. You can make better choices every |
| 0:35.4 | day that don't necessarily cost more. You just need to know what to do. |
| 0:39.0 | It's not as hard as you might think because what I've learned is that the spiritual stuff happens when the biology works better. |
| 0:46.3 | And if you're exhausted all the time, even a small amount of spiritual progress feels like you're climbing Everest. |
| 0:52.3 | So these are the things that affect the most systems in the body, |

| 1:17.1 | anti-aging, overall wellness, helping us come into wholeness, mind, body, spirit. And Dave Asprey, |
| 1:22.9 | thanks for being here. You're welcome. I'm excited. Yeah. Where I want to start is because wholeness, coming into |
| 1:31.2 | wellness is the mind, body, spirit journey. And there's so many things mind and body that I'm excited |
| 1:35.6 | to dive into, but I want to start with spirit actually. Because for many people, their struggles |
| 1:41.2 | with their physical health is a doorway and what really ignites them into their spiritual journey |
| 1:45.5 | because you can eat right, exercise right, |
| 1:48.2 | do all the sauna, biohacks, till the call has come home |
| 1:51.2 | and yet if there's deeper underlying issues within our psyche |
| 1:53.4 | that we have not dealt with, then we're going to be limited. |
