In this episode, Dr. Obadan welcomes guest Dr. Rashmi Schramm to discuss their shared work in medicine. They delve into Dr. Rashmi's personal experience with burnout and over-medication, advocating for maintaining good habits and accepting off days. The conversation further explores the importance and scientific evidence of meditation and mindfulness, types of meditation, and their benefits.

Key Points
- Meditation is separate from prayer and religiosity, focusing on a journey from activity to stillness and building a mindfulness muscle without the need for an empty mind or absolute stillness.
- Combining movement with mindfulness, such as running unplugged or engaging in activities like rock climbing, can be a powerful way to practice presence and improve wellness.
- Creating space in life for meaningful connections is crucial, as loneliness can be as detrimental to health as smoking two packs of cigarettes a day, highlighting the importance of relationship building and community.
