No one likes to feel sweaty. And certainly, no one wants to be smelly. So deodorants may feel like your only option. But the truth is that these products, especially aerosol spray deodorants, are toxic to your health. In this segment, I dive deep into aerosol spray deodorants. Aerosols, in general, are bad news, and I cover why in this segment as well. But deodorant spray, in particular, is basically a chemical bath for your sensitive glands and lymph nodes. There are better options, guys! || Full show notes & links - https://darinolien.com/69-fatal-conveniences-spray-deodorants-spraying-toxins-directly-on-your-glands/

There is much we don't know about the consequences of Bluetooth technology. Wireless headphones allow us to multitask at expert levels. You can talk on the phone or listen to music, news and podcasts all while going about your day. However, scientific research tells us that there is a definite health risk from the EMF exposure caused by these devices. || Full show notes - https://darinolien.com/67-fatal-conveniences-bluetooth-headphones-emfs-straight-to-your-brain/

Chewing gum is an American habit that seems wholesome and harmless. Some people swear by it to help quit smoking, freshen their breath and even keep from overeating.

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 dog and cat foods consist of low-quality meats, fillers and preservatives. Our four-legged friends are our family, and they deserve better. Welcome to Fatal Conveniences™ This is a bite-sized segment that parallels The Darin Olien Show. In these segments, we get into society's Fatal Conveniences™. I define these as the things we may be doing because the world we live in makes us believe we have to. These things save us time and trick us into thinking they're actually good for us. But it's those same things that are breaking down our health, and the health of the environment around us. I've spent most of my adult life obsessively researching these "conveniences." On every show, I pick one topic, and we dive into it. My goal is to make you more aware of these traps so that you can push back on them. Remember, it starts with you and the choices you make. So, if you're willing to look at your world from a different perspective and make little tweaks that amount to big changes, then this segment is for you. Pet diseases have increased 80% in the last fifty years. When most of the store-bought pet foods on the market are filled with junk, it's not very hard to figure out why. 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. I'll give you some tips on how to use fresh food for your dog and some fresh pet food companies that I love. Our pets are our babies, so let's make sure we're giving them the best life possible.

Across the world, rivers are drying up, and once lush green lands are transforming into deserts. To reverse the destruction of our planet, more people need to become aware of the desperate need for more trees. WELCOME TO THE DARIN OLIEN SHOW. I'm Darin Olien, the "superfood hunter." On this podcast, you'll hear honest conversations with extraordinary people that inspire me. I hope that through their knowledge and unique perspectives, they'll inspire you, too. Although our ideas and approaches to life may differ, our ultimate goal is the same. We want to save the planet. So we're going to try, one conversation at a time. If you're interested in expanding your view of the world while learning new angles on health and nutrition, you're at the right place. Sadhguru's work has touched the lives of people all over the world. Sadhguru is a yogi, a mystic, and a New York Times best-selling author. Once named one of India's 50 most influential people, Sadhguru's work spans various causes all across the planet. He's been an influential voice at major global forums, including the United Nations World Headquarters and the World Economic Forum. He covers a wide range of topics such as socio-economic development, leadership, education, and spirituality at these forums. One of his many significant accomplishments is founding the Isha Foundation, a non-profit organization run by over 11 million volunteers worldwide. Sadhguru is extremely knowledgeable about so many different things that affect our planet. In this conversation, we focus on his passion for preserving Native American culture and his initiative to heal the earth by planting trees. Inspired by what he calls "a spiritual encounter with a Native American spirit," Sadhguru embarked on a 10,000-mile motorcycle journey across 16 states. His goal was to explore a 40,000-year-old culture that is disappearing every day. Sadhguru doesn't just dip his toes into a mission. He fully immerses himself in it. And his wisdom and compassion compel others to do the same, which makes him such a powerful force to bring real, actionable change to the world. With his initiative, Project Greenhands, 42.1 million trees were planted in farmland in South India. I could talk to Sadhguru for hours, and I wish I could have since there was so much we couldn't cover. However, if you're not familiar with him or his work, this is an excellent introduction of what can be done when, as he says, "you have ecology in your heart."
