SuperLife with Darin Olien

Here's a shocking statistic you probably didn't know about Thanksgiving meals: An average Thanksgiving plate contains about 80-90 grams of fat which is as much as 1⅓ sticks of butter – and it contains on average 75 grams of sugar, which is equivalent to almost 20 teaspoons of pure sugar. Plus, the average person will gain between two to four pounds after the Thanksgiving feast. This isn't even getting into the actual ingredients being used in the traditional thanksgiving foods – especially a traditional stuffed turkey. This doesn't mean we need to cancel Thanksgiving – it simply means it's time to rethink what your thanksgiving meals look like and how to approach the holiday in a more sustainable way. That's why in this episode of Fatal Conveniences, we'll explore Thanksgiving Meals. Thank you to our sponsors: Bite: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

Furthermore, they delve into the role of specific ganglion cells in conscious vision and the importance of light exposure for proper sleep patterns.

You wouldn't eat a bag of dried pellets made of meat by-products. So why would you feed it to your pet? Just like humans, animals need proper nutrition to thrive and live happy, healthy lives. Most store-bought pet foods consist of low-quality meats, fillers and preservatives. Pet food manufacturers are constantly trying to make the food-making process cheaper. So that means cheap ingredients and cheap packaging. All of that results in poor nutritional health for your furry friends. This one isn't tough, guys. We need to make sure our pets are eating whole, nutritional foods. I choose a plant-based diet for myself, but I know a vegan diet isn't best for my German Shepherd, Chaga. So I give him a fresh, mostly raw diet consisting of 75% meat and 25% veggies and ancient grains. In this episode, I'll give you some tips on how to use fresh food for your dog and some fresh pet food companies that I love. I discuss the gross history of pet food companies, signs that your pet has a poor diet, why raw food is best for pets, studies that reveal the horrifying ingredients in dry pet food, if grain-free is better for your dog, what foods are best for cats and dogs, and great fresh pet food companies. What I discuss: (0:02:02) - The history of pet food, its impact on pet health, and the need to treat our pets as family members (0:09:12) - The dangers of processed pet food, the lack of regulations, the questionable ingredients permitted in pet food, and the potential toxins in pet food (0:23:04) - The importance of conscious decision-making when it comes to the products we give our pets Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off.

When traveling through a remote area of South America I came across this nut known to the indigenous tribes for millennia, but virtually unheard of anywhere else.

Why do you do daylight savings? Is it actually necessary? And more importantly, what is it doing to our health? When it comes to Daylight Savings Time it seems as though economic interests are once again the driving force for regulation. Daylight savings time, although thought to be helpful in energy consumption during WWI and WWII, has a shockingly significant impact on our overall health. Companies and businesses are eager to keep the DST law put into place in 2007, which is shown to increase sales, but how is this adjustment in time affecting our circadian rhythms, sleep, and mental health? Are we walking zombies destined to keep living in this shifted reality from changing our clocks twice a year? These are the questions we need answered and why we're going to explore the Fatal Convenience: Daylight Savings. What I discuss: 03:05 - Discussion on the history and health impacts of Daylight Savings Time, particularly on our circadian rhythm. The economic implications of the time shift are also considered 07:25 - Deep dive into how Daylight Savings Time can lead to fatigue, blood pressure changes and even increase the risk of heart disease 12:30 - Discussion on the adverse effects of the time shift on night owls and teenagers who stay up late 16:45 - The reasons behind Daylight Savings Time, discussing the physiological and psychological aspects that contribute to the heightened sensitivity to time shifts Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off.

If you live in the United States, you've most likely celebrated Halloween – you've gone trick or treating, you've carved a pumpkin, you've dressed up in costumes – you've done it all. While this holiday can be fun and add some excitement to our lives, it also comes at a cost. For example, did you know in the United States, most of the 900,000 tons of pumpkin produced annually will be trashed, rather than used as food or composted? This enormous waste adds to the already critical global food waste crisis. Overall, around 1.3 billion tons of global waste are created each year. (World Economic Forum, 2019) This is just a small glimpse into the amount of waste created from this holiday, let alone the impact it can have on your health. From pumpkins and candy to costumes, decorations, and more, we need to look at the global impact of this holiday from every angle. That's why in this episode of Fatal Conveniences™, we're going to explore the holiday Halloween and how we can start to celebrate in a more sustainable and health-conscious way. What I discuss: 02:10 - Evaluating the Ecological Footprint of Halloween 07:21 - Exploring the Intersections of Halloween, Environmental Sustainability, and Public Health 23:75 - How Can We Move Towards an Eco-friendly and Health-conscious Halloween Celebration Thank you to our sponsors: Bite: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

In this episode of the Darin Olien Show, we explore the connection between endocrine disruptors, microplastics, and heart health. My guest, Dr. Joel Kahn discusses how these chemicals, which are pervasive in our environment, can disrupt the balance of hormones, increasing cholesterol levels, and thereby affecting our cardiovascular health. Dr. Kahn also dives into what diets are helping and hurting your heart health, the diet habits of different cultures around the world and how each has affected their health, the potential risks of meat consumption and the paleo/ketogenic diet, as well as the misconception around the need for animal protein to build muscle. As one of the world's top cardiologists, having practiced traditional cardiology since 1983, Dr. Joel Kahn has treated thousands of acute heart attacks during his career. He'd like all that to stop. He'd like to prevent ALL future heart attacks by breaking through to the public to educate and inspire a new holistic lifestyle. After his own commitment to a plant based vegan diet, he truly began to delve into the realm of non-traditional diagnostic tools, prevention tactics and nutrition-based recovery protocols. These ideologies led him to change his approach and focus on being a holistic cardiologist. Thank you to our sponsors: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off.
