Welcome to Sex, Body and Soul.

I'm Kate Roberts, founder of the Body Agency,

and on this show, we talk about the marvel that is our bodies and souls,

what they can do and what we need to thrive.

You out there, listen up.

We have some pretty hard but juicy conversations here,

and you need to hear this.

Let's go.

Our next guest, Jeremy Le Cowitz, is a former Buddhist monk and now helps people meet

addictions, specifically porn addiction. He's a Duke graduate of genetics and genomics.

He struggled with his own addictions and suffered shame and self-judgment. After studying

with Buddhist monks in Myanmar, which by the way, I have done too, he deepened his mindfulness

practice and started his lifelong commitment to service. On this show, we explore all types

of addictions such as shopping, my personal pleasure, digital, porn, money, drugs, alcohol and other self-sabotaging addictions.

Why they happen and how to reclaim your life if you are an addict.

Jeremy, welcome to the show.

I'm excited to be here.

Well, not as excited as I am to have you on the pod.

I've been really looking forward to this show.

We've so much in common.

I literally am so excited to hear your personal story and here's some of your own journey of what got you here.

So let's start with the fact that you ended up studying and living the life of a Buddhist monk.
