SuperLife with Darin Olien

If I told you that two super simple things were linked to more energy, better skin, and fat loss, what would you say? Not only that, but they're shown to help reduce depression, anxiety, your risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Cold exposure and light therapy have been a hot topic for biohacking influencers and medical professionals alike. So, in this latest solo episode, I explore whether these two are really worth the hype. Could cold exposure and red light therapy be the secret ingredients to increased energy, fat loss, and life extension? Or are they just another flash in the pan of health hacks that are all talk and no substance? In this episode, I dive into… (00:01) Exploring the hype around cold and light exposure (04:28) The metabolic benefits of cold exposure, at what temperature, and for how long (12:16) How cold water exposure impacts neurotransmitters for psychological and physiological health (26:11) The benefits of red and near-infrared light for skin health, energy, mood, and disease prevention Don't forget… You can order now by heading to darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book or order now on Amazon.

Here's the truth: If you want to look younger on the outside, you need to become younger on the inside. There is a direct correlation between how healthy your body is internally with how young you look externally – and this is exactly what we dive into in this episode the Darin Olien Show with guest Dr. Anthony Youn. We dive into the concept of 'autojuvenation,' which refers to the body's natural regenerative abilities, why we should take a holistic health approach that focuses on aiding the body's own renewal processes for youthful vitality, and why we shouldn't be exclusively relying solely on surgical interventions. We also emphasize the importance of nutrition in medicine and how a deficiency in nutritional education among medical professionals needs to be addressed. Our discussion also covers the connection between gut health and aging, the significance of dietary choices on skin health and overall vitality, and the difference between chronological and biological age. Dr. Anthony Youn is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Award-Winning Author, and Anti-Aging Expert and has a new book that just released: Younger for Life. As a successful plastic surgeon for twenty years who performed tens of thousands of successful cosmetic procedures – he realized that the key to true beauty lies in a holistic approach to youth and surgery should be a last resort.

Making a New Year's resolution is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, setting goals and setting out to improve yourself and your life is a very positive action to take. However, making unachievable resolutions is just setting you up for stress and disappointment. Why do we start off the New Year by making resolutions we can't keep? Let me start off by saying I'm actually a fan of New Year's resolutions. Every year, I reevaluate my current goals and set new ones for the year. However, I'm not a fan of unreasonable resolutions that set you up for failure. Or of the social pressure that comes every January 1st. Pressure does not create opportunity. It just creates stress. On average, Americans make the same resolutions every year: lose weight, work out, eat better, quit smoking, save money and drink less. There's nothing wrong with any of those resolutions. But I'm curious about the underlying reasons for them. If you want to lose weight to look good in Instagram pictures or quit smoking so your partner stops bothering you about it- you're more likely to break that resolution quickly. But if you want to lose weight to feel better about yourself and more content in your life, you may actually succeed! We need to start thinking about the intent behind these resolutions. Why do you want to achieve this goal? This episode is not about ragging on anyone who sets a New Year's resolution. It's about learning how to make resolutions that help you improve your life. I don't want your goals to set you on a shame spiral. I want to help you achieve all your goals in a healthy way. We need to dig a little deeper into the "why" before we can get to the "how". What I discuss: [00:05:07] The First New Year's Resolutions [00:06:54] Ten Most Popular Resolutions [00:08:15] Why do we make New Year's Resolutions? [00:12:25] How to be successful at setting and keeping goals [00:16:01] Questions to ask yourself when a resolution doesn't pan out Thank you to our sponsors: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Don't forget… You can order now by heading to darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book or order now on Amazon.

We are "smartifying" our world but it's actually not smart for our health – how ironic is that? We are in this fight between how to keep up with the modern world filled with EMF's and how to protect ourselves and our health. This is what we dive into in this episode of the Darin Olien Show with guest Justin Frandson. We are "smartifying" our world but it's actually not smart for our health – how ironic is that? We are in this fight between how to keep up with the modern world filled with EMF's and how to protect ourselves and our health.

Since the invention of the World Wide Web in 1999, E-Commerce has grown exponentially around the world, with a particular peak in 2020 with the outbreak of COVID-19, leaving many people at home with nothing to do but shop online. With the rise of online purchasing also comes the rise in waste ranging from plastic to textile and excess carbon emissions. Not only is the impact to the environment significant, but the psychological impact is overwhelming, causing anxiety and depression in many people. What are the ways that we, the consumers, can curb our online shopping cravings to encourage our own health as well as the health of the planet? What I discuss: Question 1: History and Why It's Commonly Found in Society Question 2: What makes online shopping convenient? Question 3: Why should we care and why is it harmful?

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.

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.

Our world is on the brink of collapse, and ultra-processed food is one of the major culprits. Our economic system is designed to maximize profits, often at the expense of our health and the environment. The shift from valuing nature and holistic practices to focusing on chemical compounds and wealth creation has led to unprecedented levels of mental illness, chronic inflammation, reliance on heavily processed food, and environmental damage – including pollution and over-exploitation of resources. In this episode, I'm joined by Zach Bush, dives into the truths about our failing system, the detrimental health effects of ultra-processed food, and the incredible power of nature to heal and restore. This episode is a wake-up call to humanity to confront these shocking truths, acknowledge these issues, and actively work towards a healthier reality. Zach Bush MD is a physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology and hospice care. He is an internationally recognized educator and thought leader on the microbiome as it relates to health, disease, and food systems. Dr. Zach founded *Seraphic Group and the nonprofit Farmer's Footprint to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health.

Most of you know what processed foods do to your health, yet your lifestyle doesn't always accommodate "healthy eating" and you "need" to succumb to processed foods. Here's a stat that may or may not be shocking to you: Up to 70% of US calories are from ultra-processed food. This is leading to our obesity epidemic – yet our current healthcare system fails to provide any effective solutions.

My guest, Julie Nguyen, not only discusses effective ways to break out of unhealthy eating patterns, but also discusses the importance of seeking out alternative health care solutions, the importance of personal motivation and research in achieving optimal health, and the healthy food delivery Innovation: Methodology. Julie is the CEO and co-founder of Methodology, a gourmet food delivery service that is revolutionizing the way we eat on the go – which is also known for their Michelin-quality meals housed in reusable, sustainable packaging.

Plastic shower curtain liners are super convenient, easy to use, and easy to throw away after a period of time when they get moldy or mildew. However, not only is the plastic waste harmful to our environment, these plastic shower curtains contain a plethora of toxic chemicals to our body which we are exposed to every time we shower. When the Center for Health, Environment & Justice tested PVC shower curtains, they found that 108 different volatile organic compounds were released from the shower curtain into the air over twenty-eight days. Fortunately, there are some great alternative shower curtain materials like linen, organic cotton, and hemp that can be washed and reused and don't subject our bodies to harsh chemicals. That's why in this episode, we'll explore the Fatal Convenience, Plastic Shower Curtains. Thank you to our sponsor: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off.

In this episode of the Darin Olien show, we will explore the need for collective responsibility in dealing with various societal issues, primarily the extent of corporate influence on US policy decisions, and how individual action alone is not sufficient to bring about meaningful change. My guest Marianne Williamson explains how the power of collective action is being underestimated and should be leveraged more effectively to challenge corporate influence and advocate for social justice. My hope with this episode is to highlight the urgent need our country has for radical change and the crucial role each person plays in shaping the world around us. Plus, the importance of electing a president who is willing to challenge the corporate duopoly and stand up against corporate interests. Marianne Williamson is a bestselling author, political activist, spiritual thought leader, and presidential candidate. For over three decades, she has been a leader in spiritual and religiously progressive circles. She is the author of 15 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times bestsellers. Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that has delivered more than 16 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients since 1989. The group was created to help people suffering from the ravages of HIV/AIDS. She has also worked throughout her career on poverty, anti-hunger and racial reconciliation issues. In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supported the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace. Williamson ran for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020 and is running for 2024.

Have you ever heard of Apeel before? Whether you have or haven't, You may have already eaten a piece of fruit at some point that was covered in it. Apeel is a plant-based coating or 'peel' that helps produce stay fresh for longer by slowing water loss, preventing oxidation and protecting against environmental stress, which are the primary causes of food spoilage. It uses a microscopic amount of Monoglycerides and Diglycerides, which are naturally found in fruits and vegetables, to create a breathable extra layer that keeps moisture inside the produce while keeping oxygen out. While these glycerides can be extracted from any fruit or vegetable, Apeel extracts them from widely grown plant oils that are passed through a purifying process to remove allergens, impurities and trans fats. Apeel claims that it only uses plant oils from non-GMO and sustainably grown sources. So, what's the issue? Find out in this episode of Fatal Conveniences™.

Ever considered how the minerals we take in from our food and environment significantly affect our health and vitality? The industrial revolution has altered our natural landscape and our health, leading to the demineralization of our food sources and, consequently, our bodies. What we can do to counteract this is what we will unpack in this episode of the Darin Olien Show with guest, David Reid. David is the co-founder of MANNA Vitality. He has been traveling across the globe for over a decade searching for Fulvic acid and nutrients gathered from both the Earth and the sea, from the highest point and lowest points on the planet, to provide a comprehensive and enhanced mineral therapy. We also explore the incredible benefits of shilajit, a potent black mineral that has been an essential component of Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. You'll learn about its ability to upregulate collagen, mitochondria, and anabolic hormones, and the trace minerals it contains. What we discuss: 0:08:32 - Natural vs Synthetic Minerals 0:11:35 - Making Sustainable Salt From Dead Seawater 0:17:12 - Exploring the Ancient Origins of Shilajit 0:25:52 - Importance of Nature in Maintaining Health 0:35:26 - Exciting Era of Consciousness and Wellness 0:41:17 - Water's Role in Body Functioning 0:51:03 - Natural Remedies 0:58:17 - Blockchain Transparency in Marketing Thank you to our sponsors: Manna Vitality: Go to www.mannavitality.com and use code DARIN20 at checkout for 20% off.

Natural minerals play a crucial role in human health and their lack can lead to various diseases and conditions. The industrial revolution has inadvertently stripped both our bodies and our plants of these essential minerals, necessitating a journey to rediscover and replenish these micronutrients. 2. Shilajit, a powerful black ooze used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, is a remarkable substance capable of upregulating collagen, mitochondria, anabolic hormones, and macro and trace minerals. Its key component, fulvic acid, plays a crucial role in making minerals bioavailable. 3. Modern society's focus on profits has often overshadowed the importance of health. Natural products like Manna, which prioritize our health, are crucial in this context. Shilajit, a component of Manna, remineralizes and electrifies the fluid in our bodies, enhancing hydration, aging, and overall health. The cell membrane potential also plays a significant role in boosting our immunity.

Toothpaste is a staple in our daily routines, and has been since as early as 3000 BCE. But as we have evolved as humans, so has our toothpaste. Packed with synthetic colors, artificial sweeteners, and chemical additives, they raise concerns about their negative effects on both our well-being and the planet. The good news is that healthier alternatives are within reach, offering us a chance to care for our oral health without compromising our bodies or the environment. So, if you're looking for a sparkling white smile without increasing your toxic burden, this episode is for you.

Did you know there is no pumpkin in a pumpkin spice lattee? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Vani Hari about the carcinogenic ingredients that multi-billion dollar companies are putting in the food they sell us. While most of these companies have the recipes to make their products healthier for Americans, they make the decision to continue feeding us poor-quality foods. Thus, the importance of being educated and looking out for ourselves when grocery shopping. Vani also explains how you can make the transition from eating processed and artificially-flavoured foods to eating healthy and whole foods smoother. She shares a few of her favourite snack and breakfast options and how you can get started in the kitchen. Vani Hari is an activist that lives in North Carolina and the author of the new book, The Food Babe Way, which guides 21 essential habits she taught herself to take control of her health. What we discuss: 04:54: Why did Vani start looking at her diet? 10:51: How did Foodbabe get started? 21:10: How can we make the transition towards healthy food smoother? 30:43: What is in a Pumpkin Spice Lattee? 42:00: How is the system working against us? 45:27: What is Vani currently working on? Key takeaways: We have the obligation to educate ourselves on what is happening to our food. The ultra-processed foods that enormous companies are putting on the shelves at grocery stores are not the best for our health despite their marketing efforts to make it appear as so. Education is the first step in making informed decisions. We must learn how to rely on our own cooking skills to eat and not the meals which are made by a machine. Learning how to cook with whole ingredients is the easiest and simplest way to make eating healthy an achievable goal. The system is working against us. Our food is not being made to energize us nor to fuel us anymore. Our food is being made in a way to maximize profits all while delivering the bare minimum nutritional factors.

For years we have been inundated with advertisements for skin care that fights aging and wrinkles. Women in particular have been targeted, as society has a particularly high standard for their appearance. In fact studies have shown that women spend almost 10 times more on cosmetic products per year than men. Additionally all of these skin care products claim to help with smoothness or reducing acne. What these marketing schemes aren't transparent about is the toxic chemicals included in these products such as mercury, which can cause toxicity and poisoning leading to tremors, changes in vision and hearing, and memory problems). These products also include PFOAs and PTFEs. These have been linked to cancer, endocrine disruption, and reproduction harm. Whatever is going on your skin is going in your skin and a lot of these ingredients included in "anti-aging" skincare products are toxic to our body. So, how do we obtain younger looking skin without putting our bodies (and skin) at risk?

Ever dreamt of being self-sufficient, growing your own food, and living in harmony with nature? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, we chat with Mark Trebilcock, a passionate gardening innovator, shares how his revolutionary Dirt Locker device is a game changer in our interaction with the landscape. We tackle the significance of food sovereignty, the potential of land usage for food production, and the infinite benefits of utilizing recycled materials. But, innovation doesn't come without challenges. Our guest's journey from initial patent denial to eventual success is a testament to the power of perseverance and the joy of creating something new. As we look into the future, we see endless potential in further expanding the Dirt Locker system and developing additional products that make landscaping more efficient and sustainable. Resistance to change in the industry is a mountain to climb, but the benefits of the Dirt Locker—from cost-saving to land reclaiming—make it a peak worth pursuing.

They may not always look like gifts at first glance. However, when we look back at the hardships and challenges the Universe has thrown our way, we can see how they were necessary for change. Remember that rejection is redirection when you are going through frustrating times. And to look out for the gifts the Universe is sending your way. When you are following your passion is that there's always going to be resistance, or at least at some point. And it's not about the resistance itself, but what you do with that resistance. You can decide to sit back and be a victim. But if you're really passionate about what it is you are working towards, then you must take the anger you're experiencing from this resistance and channel it into the creativity.

Do you know what is the number one category of food that has the highest caloric intake? Breads, pastries, buns, bagels, muffins, granola cereals, all of that stuff. Food companies have been tricking us into using their products as healthy breakfasts and so-called nutrition experts and maybe even some guru on social media are telling you what's healthy or not. But ultimately, these processed foods are the biggest thing ravaging our health. And the biggest culprits of that is around breakfast. That's why, in this episode of Fatal Convenience Solutions, we're going to explore better solutions for your breakfast. What I discuss: 05:36: What's the deal with cereal? 06:41: Are protein options any better? 06:56: What choices should you avoid? 07:13: What breakfast solutions do we have?

Is eating meat an ethical practice? In this episode of The Darin Olien show, we navigate the often-unseen implications of factory farming on our environment and society, shedding light on issues ranging from subsidized grain, antibiotic resistance, and climate change with Peter Singer. Peter's expertise in bioethics offers a unique perspective into the relationship between our awareness and actions, illustrating how education can help mitigate animal suffering and make a difference. The discussion probes deeper into the ethical dimensions of our daily dietary choices. We dissect the conditions of factory farming and the psychological toll it takes on the workers. While the reality is grim, there's hope through informed choices and supporting organizations striving for change. We also investigate the flourishing field of aquaculture, its effects, and the possibility of vegan alternatives. Regardless of your current lifestyle, this episode is a thought-provoking examination of how we can align our food choices with our ethical beliefs for a healthier, more sustainable future. Join us on this enlightening journey—it might just change the way you think about your plate. Peter Singer is an Australian ethical and political philosopher best known for his work in bioethics and his role as one of the intellectual founders of the modern animal rights movement. He is the author of Animal Liberation, the 1975 classic credited with triggering the modern animal rights movement. What we discuss: (0:00:07) - Animal Liberation and Sustainable Living (0:11:47) - Factory Farming's Impact on Environment & Society (0:20:43) - Meat, Ethics, and Climate Change (0:27:04) - Ethics and Bioethics (0:33:34) - Factory Farming and Ethical Choices (0:46:40) - Christian Views on Animal Dominion, Aquaculture Concerns Key takeaways: The reason why we eat meat is because we evolved with a taste for high density food. From most of our evolutionary history, we had a struggle to get enough food to be healthy, to thrive, to be active and to reproduce and bring up our children. So we developed a taste for meat in particular because it is a high density food and if you could catch and kill a large animal and eat it, then you were meeting your nutritional needs for some time. We still have this taste for meat because evolution works slowly and it doesn't take account of the fact that now we can walk into a supermarket and choose for a wide variety of foods, including nourishing ourselves very well by plant based foods. We are price conscious, hence why factory farming is a real thing. Factory farming is the combination of the idea that we want animal products, that we'd like to eat them and we want them as cheaply as possible. And factory farming has developed over roughly the past century to produce these foods more cheaply, to apply technology to them, to apply basically industrial production processes to them, standardizing things, getting cheap labor. This has created a disaster of a situation for the animals, for the climate, and for our own health. Factory farming causes harm to local people too. Anybody who lives near a factory farm knows that they're terrible neighbors. For one thing, when the wind blows to you from them, the manure smell is awful. They also attract millions of flies which are around your place and of course they also pollute the water around. It also runs when there's unusual rainfall. It runs into the rivers, kills thousands of fish, makes the rivers unswimable.

When that heat hits, it's not fun. Most people do not like to be hot and sweaty when relaxing at home. But I've made it a habit over many years to wait longer and longer to turn my air conditioner on. And you know what? The more I did that, the more heat I was able to take. We get so used to being comfortable, the second we feel uncomfortable, we reach for a solution. The body can handle a little heat! It's actually good for us to get a little cold, and to get a little hot. That's why in this episode of Fatal Convenience's Solutions, I'm going to explore natural ways to stay cool the rest of the summer…without the air conditioner. What we discuss: 05:07: What can we do daily to keep cool?

When was the last time you noticed the love in your life? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Torrey DeVitto about the importance of keeping our focus on love. And by love, we don't mean a significant other- we're talking about the only feeling that is real in this human experience of ours. We're not meant to be in these individual bodies - we are all part of one big thing. And love is what brings us back to feeling connected to this big thing. Torrey also explains how Nature is a great way to explore what it is us humans go through. If you think of the cycles we go through in our human experience, nature goes through almost the same ones. And it's true for the animals and for the flora. Thus why nature is a great place to explore when we are experiencing a difficult time in our lives. Torrey DeVitto is an actress, advocate, philanthropist, and producer. She is best known for her six season run on the NBC drama, "Chicago Med" playing Natalie Manning, the 'girl next door' and a doctor in the ER Pediatrics division. Outside of her acting work, Torrey's mission is to grant access and bring knowledge of wellness and philanthropy to as many people as possible. What we discuss: 05:51: What is the hardest part of Torrey's career? 11:14: Why did Torrey get into hospice work? 15:17: How to look at life through the lens of death? 23:34: What does Torrey do to cultivate her practice? 31:55: What are the things that throw off Torrey the most? Key takeaways: Nature is a great way to explore what it is us humans go through. If you think of the cycles we go through in our human experience, nature goes through almost the same ones. And it's true for the animals and for the flora. Thus why nature is a great place to explore when we are experiencing a difficult time in our lives. When you really focus on it, you see how us and nature are all one. The only thing that is REAL is love. Everything else is an illusion and doesn't exist. Nothing real can be threatened and nothing unreal really exists. So when you feel like you are out of source, remind yourself the whole concept of how we're not meant to be in these individual bodies and we are all part of one big thing. If you look at life through the lens of death, you may come to realize that is actually a celebration of life. However, this is only the case if you allow yourself to live a life worth celebrating. To do this, you must live a life where you are connected to source and living in harmony with nature.
