| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to the muscle intelligence podcast. I'm your host, Ben Bikolski. As always, we frame this |
| 0:22.9 | podcast around living your greatest life in a body that you absolutely love. Who doesn't want to love |
| 0:28.8 | their body? Who doesn't want to be happy? I have a big smile on their face all the time, right? |
| 0:32.0 | What is a great life to you? Have you ever sat down and defined it? I think that's an important starting point. Is it to be healthy? Is it to be happy? Is it to be strong? Is it to have great sex? Is it to have a great relationship with your family? What is it? Is it to be wealthy? Is it to be recognized and be significant? You have to define all those things before you can start to create them. |
| 0:57.5 | So I suggest you sit down and do that. I've had an amazing opportunity lately to talk to some really incredible guests, travel the world, meeting amazing people. And today's guest |

| 1:55.8 | of getting perspective on things. |
| 1:57.5 | It's important. |
| 1:58.4 | So Dr. Volo is going to tell us a little bit about his journey |
| 2:01.4 | towards spirituality, some of the misconceptions around plant medicines, some of the things you |
| 2:05.6 | should know about plant medicines, and ultimately how to stay grounded in this spiritual |
| 2:11.3 | journey that we're ultimately living, whether you choose to admit it or not, at some point in your |
