In this solo episode, Darin pulls back the curtain on one of the most important parts of his life: he prepares for travel. From the supplements that keep his immune system strong to hydration hacks, adaptogenic elixirs, and EMF protection, this episode is a masterclass in staying grounded and resilient on the road.
