In 'Superlife,' Darin Olien provides a new way of thinking about health and wellbeing by identifying five key life forces: Quality Nutrition, Hydration, Detoxification, Oxygenation, and Alkalization.

Olien, who has traveled the world studying the health properties of foods that sustain indigenous cultures, offers practical advice, including a 'How-to-eat' user’s guide, shopping lists, and tips on using supplements effectively. Written in an engaging conversational style, 'Superlife' is a timeless and essential guide to maintaining the human body and maximizing its potential.
Drawdown is a seminal text on climate solutions, compiled by an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists. The book presents 100 substantive, existing solutions to address climate change, ranging from clean energy and educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. It provides a roadmap to drawing down greenhouse gas emissions and emphasizes the importance of sustainable development and collective action to combat climate change[1][4][5].

Today’s guest has a name for the pernicious ways in which the many products we routinely use are actually harming us in very real but often invisible ways: fatal conveniences. Everything from deodorant and denim to detergent and dental floss—even seemingly innocuous things like carpet, crayons, and candles, unbeknownst to most, are abound with chemicals either unproven safe or demonstrably harmful. And yet, these things are used ubiquitously in our daily lives without a second thought.
Here to help us make sense of this insanity is wellness expert Darin Olien, returning for his fifth appearance on the show. If you are new to this superfood-hunting adventurer, Darin has devoted his life to advancing human health, ecological preservation, and sustainability. He’s the New York Times bestselling author of SuperLife and cohost of the Emmy™ Award Winning, #1 Netflix docu-series, Down to Earth with Zac Efron.
