The sparkling water market has boomed in the last decade, making carbonated water all the rage.   While fizzy water seems like a healthy alternative to sugary sodas, it may not be as healthy as you think it is. Sure, sparkling water is fun to drink. Those fizzing bubbles mimic the carbonation of soda, making seltzer a great way to kick the pop habit. However, carbonated bubbles are made using carbon dioxide, the same gas your kidneys and lungs work so hard to expel from your body. So is sparkling water bad for you? When it comes to hydration, it’s best to kick that fizzy habit and stick to the real stuff.   Don’t forget… You can order now by heading to https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book or order now on Amazon.   Find more from Darin: Website: https://darinolien.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/ Book: https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/ Down to Earth: https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/   || Full Show Notes - https://darinolien.com/sparkling-water-fatal-conveniences/

Are organic vegetables actually more expensive than non-organic? And what’s the real health cost of trying to save a few dollars on your grocery bill?    The exposure to chemicals in agriculture goes way beyond just us - it’s a vicious cycle of damage to the environment that we CAN stop with some at-home practices.    Join me in this latest solo episode as I explore the debate between organic vs non-organic vegetables, including the health benefits and economic considerations of choosing organically grown produce. I address the common misconception that organic food, which often adheres to practices like permaculture and regenerative agriculture, is more expensive by highlighting the nutritional advantages and the absence of harmful chemicals.    I also address the growing concern over the use of harmful chemicals like glyphosate in conventional farming and how you can reduce your exposure to these chemicals and make healthier more sustainable choices in your own kitchen.    In this episode, I dive into…   (00:00) Organic vs non-organic food debate  (14:47) The truth about chemical exposure in organic agriculture Chemical Exposure in Organic Agriculture  (17:05) The wide reaching benefits of regenerative agriculture  (24:26) At home practices to reduce chemical exposure and grow your own food   …and more!   Don’t forget…   You can order now by heading to https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book or order now on Amazon.   Thank you to our sponsors:   Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off   Find more from Darin:   Website: https://darinolien.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/ Book: https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/ Down to Earth: https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/  

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.    In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Aggie Lal as we discuss the damage being done to women as we live in a world that’s less and less attuned to their natural cycles, she shares the challenges of feeling safe as a female traveler, and the true health impacts of suppressing emotions for the sake of keeping others happy.    Aggie Lal is a best-selling author of ‘Biohack Like a Woman’, certified nutrition and health coach, host of the top rated podcast ‘Biohacking Bestie’, and TEDx speaker on a mission to revolutionize the world of biohacking for women.    What we discuss…   (00:00) - Travel & the misconceptions we hold about happiness and quality of life in different countries (08:52) - the contrasting experiences of safety between men and women & the need for safety and honesty in partnerships (15:33) - Navigating relationships and how unprocessed emotions can have a more significant impact on health than diet alone (27:52) - The impact of the modern world on female health  (45:35) - Societal pressures & the importance of true self-care  (59:33) - The transformative power of weightlifting for all round female health  (01:09:43) - Listening to your gut & living in alignment with your nature   …and more!   Don’t forget: You can order now by heading to darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book or order now on Amazon.   Thank you to our sponsors: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Vivobarefoot: Get 15% off your first order with code DARINV15 at vivobarefoot.com Cymbiotika: Go to https://cymbiotika.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off   Find more from Darin: Website: https://darinolien.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/ Book: https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/ Down to Earth: https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/   Find more from Aggie:  Website: https://biohackingbestie.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aggie/ Podcast: https://apple.co/42FE02h Book: https://biohackingbestie.com/products/biohack-like-a-woman

Debunking misconceptions about lectins, their connection to autoimmune conditions, benefits of raw vs cooked vegetables, tips for cooking vegetables to enhance nutrient absorption, and the importance of understanding individual nutritional needs.

If someone told you that their addiction was an act of self-care, what would you say?    Would you believe them - accepting that they need their addiction to keep going, or would you see an opportunity for change?    In a world where we see more of someone’s highlight reel than their struggles, it’s hard for us to see all the nuances that come with addiction and poor mental health. And all the options available in the process of recovery…like plant based nutrition, for example.    In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Adam Sud to discover his transformative struggle with depression, anxiety, and addiction to being able to help others on their path to recovery. The importance of recognizing that our instincts are not failing us; rather, they are responding to an environment for which they were not designed. And the role nutrition plays in emotional wellness, highlighting the often overlooked connection between mental health issues like depression and anxiety with our physical health.   Adam Sud is a wellness and nutrition expert, speaker, and CEO of Plant Based for Positive Change. He researches nutrition's role in disease reversal, mental health and addiction, and has applied his expertise in treatment centers using plant-based nutrition as a tool for strengthening recovery and relapse prevention.   What we discuss…   (05:53) - Addiction as misguided self care and the burden of depression  (18:44) - Surviving the pain of personal crisis and finding purpose out the other side  (23:32) - Self-experimentation and the transformational power of plant-based recovery  (32:10) - How nutrition can aid in addiction recovery and have significant impact on your mental health (49:36) - Understanding the impact of modern food on our physiology (& what to do about it)  (01:01:51) - Building meaningful connections to foster resilience and help your mental health  (01:13:41) - How reorganizing your priorities, values, and environment can transform your life choices   …and more!   Don’t forget:   You can order now by heading to darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book or order now on Amazon.   Thank you to our sponsors: Manna Vitality: Go to www.mannavitality.com and use code DARIN12 at checkout for 12% off.
