Today Oli is bringing you a special interview with The Turmeric Co's Founder and CEO (and Wales national football team hero) Thomas Hal Robson-Kanu. It's a remarkable story. After a brutal injury at 17, pharmaceutical medication caused Thomas to suffer severe adverse effects. It was his dad who started researching natural alternatives that could offer his son a better chance at recovery, and quickly the benefits of raw turmeric root and it's incredible healing properties became clear. "The secret behind my recovery, these fresh turmeric shots became a nutritional aid for me, my family, and my close friends. Thanks to this curcumin-rich formula, I was able to return to my professional football career healthier and stronger than ever before!" So what's so remarkable about turmeric? You'll have to listen and find out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
