Episode notes

This week of the Biohacking Bestie, I’m publishing my interview with Darin Olien on the Darin Olien Show.

Together we explore how women have just been treated as slightly less hairy men when it comes to health and wellness. With multitudes of studies being done on everything from fat loss, fasting, and nutrition - without a single menstruating woman included in the study.

Health and wellness isn’t one size fits all. Males are solar with 24 hour hormonal cycles, while females are lunar with a 28 day hormonal cycle that is deeply connected to the moon. So our approaches to health need to be completely different.

That’s why we also discuss the damage being done to women as we live in a world that’s less and less attuned to their natural cycles and the true health impacts of suppressing emotions for the sake of keeping others happy.

Darin Olien is co-host of the Emmy™ Award Winning, #1 Netflix docu-series, Down to Earth with Zac Efron. Spending nearly 20 years exploring the planet discovering new and underutilized exotic foods and medicinal plants as a Superfood hunter Darin developed, Shakeology – grossing over $4 Billion in sales since 2008 for Beachbody. He also created a plant-based Ultimate Reset 21-day detoxification program for the company. From his years of experience within the health space, he wrote his New York Times best-selling book, “SuperLife: The five fixes that will keep you healthy, fit and eternally awesome”. He is also the founder of Barukas™, the most nutrient-dense nut in the world coming from the Savannah “Cerrado” of Brazil.
