Are You Putting Toxic Chemicals on Your Skin?   You lather it on before heading outside to "protect" yourself from the sun's rays. But what if that sunscreen you're using is actually doing more harm than good?   In my solo episode of The Darin Olien Show, I dive deep into the dangers of common sunscreen ingredients like avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, and e-camsule. Shocking research shows that these chemicals get absorbed into the bloodstream at levels far exceeding safety limits - even from a single application!   The main point? These hormone-disrupting, potentially cancer-causing chemicals have no place in sunscreens or on our skin. Sensible sun exposure without sunscreen is not only safe, but crucial for vitamin D production, nitric oxide increase, and overall mortality reduction.   This is an eye-opening listen that will make you seriously rethink slathering on those toxic sunscreen products.    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: Vivo Barefoot: Get 20% off your first Vivobarefoot order with DARIN20 at www.vivobarefoot.com   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/    Use code OLIEN20 for a Viome discount   Candiani Denim: https://www.candianidenim.com/   

Food is the strongest lever to optimize health and environmental sustainability on Earth. The solution? We need a substantial shift towards plant-based dietary patterns and a 50% reduction in food waste.   In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Amy Keller, founder of Climate Candy, to discuss her innovative solution to food waste. We dive into the real issues behind this problem and explore the shifts we can make for the greatest impact.   In our discussion, we talk about the staggering food waste plaguing the nation, and how it affects our economy and soil. We talk about corporate solutions as well as personal solutions we should all incorporate. A planted-based focus could change the issue drastically, and Amy is on a journey to educate the population to do just that. We also dive into school programs and how reducing our consumption of convenience items could help the planet.    Amy Keller believes where there is a vision the best way to predict the future is to create it yourself. She has never been satisfied with the status quo and Climate Candy is a catalyst for change. Amy Keller determined a long time ago that whatever business she started, it had to make a positive impact on the planet and people’s health. Climate Candy is a brand designed to have a long-standing and meaningful role in the cultural revolution in upcycled foods and climate change. The success lies in the brand imbued with this sense of mission, personality, and personal values.   What we discuss…   (02:00) Food Waste and its relation to climate change and the economy  (11:00) Amy Keller’s climate candy solution (17:00) Taking the information to the people  (23:00) The real issue and getting people to do better (31:30) The change in the soil due to our habits (33:00) Climate Candy’s goals (37:00) A plant-based journey (41:00) Shifts to make for the greatest impact (47:00) Reducing plastic use  (55:00) Getting excited about solutions  (1:04:00) The power of being kind  (1:07:00) School programs need a change   …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: Bite: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

Are we really safe in our own home?   Join me in this special solo episode of The Darin Olien Show, as I explore the critical topic of indoor air quality and its profound impact on our health, productivity, and longevity. Indoor air pollution is a hidden danger in our modern living conditions, filled with volatile organic compounds from building materials, cleaning products, and everyday household items. With alarming statistics from the World Health Organization linking poor indoor air quality to 3.8 million deaths annually, it's clear we need to be more aware of the pollutants in our homes.    From molds and pet dander to chemical off-gassing from furniture and paints, we'll uncover the various sources of indoor air pollution and their adverse effects on our health, including respiratory diseases and exacerbated chronic conditions.   Tune in as I discuss actionable steps to improve the air quality in your living spaces and take control of your indoor environment for a healthier life.   Are you ready to improve your indoor air quality, elevate your health, embrace joy, and create a better environment, starting from your own home?   We also discuss:   (00:02) - Indoor Air Quality Awareness (03:43) Poor Air Quality Impacts Health (10:56 ) Impact of Indoor Air Quality (17:49) Improving Indoor Air Quality Solutions   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 Branch Basics: Save 15% on your Starter Kit when you use code DARIN at www.branchbasics.com.   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/    

Are you curious about the secrets of longevity?   Ready to explore the mysteries of health and well-being? We're excited to present the latest episode that embarks on an intriguing journey from the depths of the ocean to the fascinating world of essential fats.   Our latest episode features Stephanie Venn-Watson, a veteran Veterinary Epidemiologist with an unexpected fear of water, which makes their career path, including major contributions to our understanding of essential fats and dolphin longevity, all the more astonishing.   From swimming lesson standoffs to pivotal epidemiological studies, she shares her transformation from aquaphobic to aquatic expert, diving into the metabolic mysteries behind the Navy's healthiest dolphins and the discovery of odd-chain saturated fats like C15 as a key to longevity and disease prevention.   Venture beneath the surface with us as we navigate the murky waters of environmental toxins and their impact on marine and human health. The narrative is rich with details of the monumental shift in understanding, the untapped potential of these fats, and the imperative of sustaining our ecosystem for the health of all species.   Stephanie  Venn-Watson served as an epidemiologist tracking diseases for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization. She co-founded the National Marine Mammal Foundation and is a recipient of the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary’s Award for Innovations in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention.   We also discuss...   (06:28) Dolphin Health Study Results (12:24) "Understanding Saturated Fat Varieties" (15:17) Importance of C15 Deficiency in Health (21:31) Impact of C15 on Cell Membranes (25:13) Discovering the Importance of Fatty Acids (32:05) Discovering Nature's Secrets (35:47) Fatty 15 Supplement for Dolphins (45:15) Comparing C15 and Omega-3 Fatty Acids (53:14) Uncovering New Molecule Challenges Societal Norms (57:36) Optimal C15 Dosing for Health   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.

Did you know that the simple act of breathing can have a profound impact on your mental and physical well-being? Most of us take around 22,000 breaths per day without even realizing it, but what if we could harness the power of our breath to improve our health?   In my latest solo episode of The Darren Olien Show, I dive deep into the science and benefits of intentional breathwork. By consciously slowing down our breathing and engaging in specific breathing practices, we can accomplish several health benefits, like reducing stress and anxiety.  Whether it's through diaphragmatic breathing, pranayama, or the Wim Hof method, incorporating just 5-20 minutes of breathwork into your daily routine can have significant positive effects.    If you're interested in learning more about this powerful tool for wellness, I highly encourage you to listen to this informative podcast episode. My insights and expertise will inspire you to start breathwork of your own for a healthier, happier life.   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: Cymbiotika: Visit Cymbiotika.com and use your exclusive code DARIN 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/    Use code OLIEN20 for a Viome discount Candiani Denim: https://www.candianidenim.com/

Life is a journey of continuous growth, where experiences serve as feedback to nourish our spiritual evolution. Amidst emotional, physical, or spiritual pain lies the opportunity for inspiration, breakthrough, and transformation.   In these moments, we should look for the lessons hidden within the challenges rather than becoming victims of our pain. Learning from our pain requires a radical shift in perspective and action. This is the key to overcoming fear, activating our dreams, and translating inspiration into tangible pursuits.   In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Mike Posner as he shares his transformative journey of turning pain into purpose. Mike's pivotal moment came from a series of devastating losses, including the passing of his father and friends. Despite achieving material success, an underlying sense of sadness lingered, compelling him to seek a more fulfilling path. Exhausted by the cycle of passive inspiration without action and recognizing the need to break free from comfort and approval-seeking, Mike took a radical shift. He embarked on a soul-searching journey: a solo trek across America.   In our discussion, Mike shares insights from his quest for self-inspiration, shedding light on his decision to pivot and embrace discomfort as a catalyst for personal growth, inspiration, and genuine connection. He also provides practical advice for listeners to live a purposeful, present, and happy life.   Mike is a singer and producer, and despite his success, he embarked on a transformative journey, setting aside the comforts of fame to trek across America. He walked solo from Asbury Park, New Jersey, to Venice Beach, California, covering 2,851 miles. Along the way, he faced challenges, including a rattlesnake bite that led to an emergency helicopter ride to a Colorado ICU. Rejecting hero status, Mike aimed to inspire others by embracing discomfort and building resilience. Known for hits like "Cooler Than Me" and "I Took a Pill in Ibiza," his journey symbolizes personal growth and transformation.   What we discuss…   (00:00) How being around good energy helps you show up differently (04:30) Relationships and how they are inspiring Mike's life and craft (12:07) Shifting pain to purpose: activating your dream, showing up, and going for it. (18:02) Creating a future that makes the present bearable and exciting (20:09) The vision that inspired Mike to walk across the United States (23:11) Overcoming the chasm that keeps us from living a genuinely happy life (32:10) Three distractions pulling us away from living from an inspired action path (42:16) How to overcome resistance and be unstoppable when hit by adversity (49:29) What Mike is excited about and is creating right now   …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.

Feeling lonely or disconnected lately?    I go rogue in my latest solo episode because I want to discuss rediscovering the importance of connection. I share my recent experience on a pilgrimage to the north of England, where I connected with a group of around 40 people, all with the intention of being open and becoming better versions of themselves. After this experience, I quickly realized the importance of social bonding and connection so I discuss how it can have a profound impact on our overall health and well-being in today’s episode.

Could your plate of greens be the secret to shedding those stubborn pounds?    In today’s episode on the Darin Olien Show, I talk with Dr. Neal Barnard about the science behind the weight loss wonders of a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. From a landmark 2005 study providing a fresh perspective on appetite control to metabolism-boosting recipes, we're unveiling a world where counting calories becomes obsolete, and where foods like cinnamon and blueberries earn the title of 'power foods.'   This conversation stands as a testament to the might of plant-based proteins and the truths about soy in men's health. We tackle the misunderstandings head-on, debunking fears with evidence that highlights soy's cancer-fighting properties and the real effects of dairy on our hormonal balance. Our conversation may just be the catalyst you need to re-evaluate your protein sources and embrace the multitude of benefits that come from plants.   Dr. Barnard has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, hormonal symptoms, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes. Dr. Barnard has authored more than 100 scientific publications and 20 books for medical and lay readers, and is the editor in chief of the Nutrition Guide for Clinicians.   What I discuss:  (00:06) Power Foods Diet and Weight Loss (04:23) Plant-Based Diet for Weight Loss (17:21) The Power of Plant-Based Foods (20:55) Power Foods and Weight Loss Benefits (35:10) Plant-Based Protein and Soy Truth (43:25) Diet and Hormones (56:10) Changing Food Policy Through Education (01:09:06) Power Foods and Nutrition Journey   Thank you to our sponsors: Bite: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.
