Nick Day thought he was just “busy”, until a heart check-up revealed signs of chronic stress and mild hypertension.

In this episode of Mindful Paths, Nick and Hari explore the hidden cost of hustle culture and why slowing down might be the most powerful productivity tool we have.

They dive into daily habits that drive long-term stress, the fine line between high performance and burnout, and the biohacking tools they personally use — from red light therapy and mushroom blends to cold plunges and eye massagers. They also challenge mainstream views on diet culture, Ozempic, and the myth of calories in, calories out.

If you’ve ever struggled to switch off or felt guilty for resting, this episode will shift your perspective on what it really means to live well and stay ambitious.
