My guest for today is Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals and Meditations for Mortals. We look into the paradox of productivity, exploring why our relentless pursuit of doing more doesn't necessarily lead to a happier or more fulfilling life. Oliver shares insights on how letting go of the impossible quest to "get it all done" can open the door to genuine fulfilment and peace of mind.

By embracing self-compassion and seeing imperfection as a strength, we uncover how personally redefining success can transform our approach to life. Oliver offers practical strategies to help us shift our focus from constant busyness to making more meaningful choices with our finite time.

I talk with Kanchan Koya about the role of spices in managing inflammation. We discuss how spices contain compounds that influence the body's inflammatory processes in different ways. Kanchan explains the benefits of using spice blends to achieve a synergistic effect.

We focus on turmeric and how to enhance its absorption by using traditional methods like heating it in fat and pairing it with black pepper. We also address the effectiveness of turmeric lattes and whether they provide anti-inflammatory benefits. This conversation offers practical insights into incorporating spices into our diets for health benefits.
