The Darin Olien Show

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. Key Takeaways: 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. Shilligit, 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. Modern society’s focus on profits has often overshadowed the importance of health. Natural products like Mana, which prioritize our health, are crucial in this context. Shilligit, a component of Mana, 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.

Did you know there is no pumpkin in a pumpkin spice latte? 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. 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? That’s what we are going to explore in this episode of Fatal Conveniences™ Solutions – Alternatives for anti aging skincare.

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. Key takeaways: The Universe is constantly giving us gifts. 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.

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. 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.

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. 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.

We talked about how convenient it is to be able to talk to family or friends, attend a work meeting, listen to your favorite music or podcast, all while being able to move around without the hassle of wires getting tangled or in the way. But this convenience comes at a serious cost. The bluetooth technology that these wireless headphones use expose us to a specific type of low-level EMFs. Research has shown that plants, animals, and humans can all be damaged by these frequencies, with children being much more susceptible. Is there a solution to this fatal convenience? This is what we will explore in this episode of Fatal Conveniences™ Solutions edition.

Do you usually eat your lunch at your desk? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Laura Putnam about how our society is built around sitting down. Our cities are made for driving, our offices are made for sitting, and our homes are made for lounging. But all of this sitting-down time is detrimental to our health, thus the importance of incorporating movement in the areas of your life where you spend most of your time: at work. Laura also shares a few movements you can easily incorporate in your day-to-day to get started and discusses which movement patterns are best for you. Laura is a speaker, author, and activator. She founded Motion Infusion in 2008, inspired by her discoveries around the need for motion. Movement is one of the best things we can do for our bodies and our brains. The problem is, we all live in a world that conspires against us getting active – or being well. She believes it’s time we take action. Key Takeaways: The biggest misconception when it comes to getting active is what it means to get active. The reality is that you don’t need exercise; what you need is movement. So if you don’t want to spend one hour at the gym every day, you don’t need to. But you need to find opportunities in your day-to-day to get movement in, such as taking your meetings standing up or parking your car further away from the metro station. As adults, we spend most of our time at work, sitting down at our office. Given this takes up the bulk of our days, your workplace should be the first place you look to leverage as an opportunity to incorporate more movement into your day. Whether it’s taking your phone calls standing up, walking to get lunch, or keeping your trash can far away from your cubicle, any of these types of hacks can help you get more movement in easily. It’s just a question of setting it up for yourself, once. With the way we live our day-to-day, an alien watching us humans go through life would believe we are born to sit. But that couldn’t be further from the truth – we aren’t meant to be sitting in our cars, office chairs, and sofas for the majority of our days. We are meant to get up and move. BREAKDOWN What we discuss: 07:21: What made Laura start her career in movement?11:20: What was Laura’s experience with teaching her method to children?16:40: If we’re born to move, why are we discouraged to do so by society?22:42: How can you incorporate more movement in your life?28:26: What movements can you implement right away?33:06: Is exercise really necessary to be healthy?44:06: Are we being productive if we aren’t moving?52:05: What kinds of movement patterns are best? links Find more from Darin: Website: https://superlife.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/Book: https://superlife.com/fatal-conveniences-book/Down to Earth: https://superlife.com/down-to-earth/ Find more from Laura: Website: https://www.lauraputnam.com/ and https://www.motioninfusion.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauraputnamauthor/ SPONSORS Thank you to our sponsors: Manna Vitality: https://www.mannavitality.com/Therasage: https://therasage.com/Bite: https://bitetoothpastebits.com/ I hope you enjoyed this episode of The Darin Olien Show!

The human body is supposed to sweat, so when you block your sweat glands with chemicals, they can’t do their job and you’re messing with your health. We don’t want to be sweaty and smelly, so it might seem like deodorants are our only option. But chemical baths for our pits clogging up our lymph nodes and exposing ourselves to chemicals are not the way to go. There’s a lot of data around deodorant linked to breast cancer, hormone changes and endocrine disruption. One of the main culprits is aluminum, which is found in these products. One study stated that aluminum is known to have a genotoxic profile capable of causing both DNA alterations, and epigenetic effects. Fortunately, there are solutions that will reduce the smell, and won’t compromise your health. Due to the media coverage on the link between breast cancer and aluminum in deodorants consumers have become increasingly aware of the chemicals they place on and around their bodies. This has caused a major shift in the market to accommodate the demand for more natural, less harmful products – which is great! If we move away from chemical deodorants? What do we use instead? How do we know the deodorant we are buying is actually safe for our health? In this episode of Fatal Conveniences™ Solutions, we’re exploring the solutions for deodorant.

Ever considered how the food you eat impacts your skin? In this episode of The Darin Olien podcast, Ben and I explore the profound links between nutrition and skincare. As a pharmacist, he shares insights into how the principles used to promote muscle growth can be applied to skin health. We discuss the detriments of ultra-processed food on our skin and overall health and the need for a health revolution. We need to make a shift from external cosmetic products and surgeries to a lifestyle enriched with proper nutrition. We also tackle the misconception of beauty products and the risks of an excessive reliance on external products to resolve our skin issues. Instead, we need to look at raw living foods that are rich in nutrients and beneficial for both our overall health and our skin. Benjamin Fuchs is a registered pharmacist, nutritionist and skin care chemist. For the past 35 years, he’s been developing pharmacy-potent skin health products for estheticians, dermatologists, plastic surgeons and his own savvy customers. He formulated Truth Treatment Systems™ because he saw the need for topical treatments that worked with the biochemistry of the skin. His products augment and enabled dermal processes at the skin cell (not surface) level. Key Takeaway: The viable living cells in your skin are down at the bottom and not at the top. At the top of your skin, or the skin that is exposed to the external world, is really only dead skin. Thus, if you really want to change your skin, you’ve got adopt strategies that help the ingredients from the surface make their way down to the lower levels, where the living cells are. Most people think that a lack of collagen, calcium, or peptides are the reason why they are aging. As a result, they tend to supplement these nutrients. However, the real nutrient they should be focusing on replenishing is Vitamin C. Vitamin C is the quintessential anti-aging vitamin. It builds the connective tissue and restores the body back to its useful state and eliminates the problems that people all the people have when they age. You ever see how a person walks when they’re aging and their bones are soft and their skin is loose? All that are signs of connective tissue deterioration, which a lack of Vitamin C can be responsible for. When you exercise, your body secretes chemicals which will activate and connect the tissue in your face. Thus, when you lift weights, you’re actually stimulating collagen in your face. However, you can also exercise the skin topically. This is because exercising only helps with the top layer of the skin. If you want to treat the skin cells that are at the lower levels, you need to go further than that. Think about it this way: we know that when you exercise the muscles, you’re tearing the muscles up and then the muscles grow back. Well, the skin has its own version of tearing up the muscles. It’s called exfoliation. With exfoliation, you are removing dead cells off of the surface, and sending signals down the lower living cells that they can pump new cells to the top, revealing newer looking and more radiant skin. breakdown What we discuss: 02:10: How did Darin and Ben meet?04:35: What is missing in today’s beauty products?11:38: What is the number one most searched skincare ingredient?14:19: What do most people not realize about their skin?21:53: Why is moisturizer bad for your skin?29:20: What’s the difference between alpha hydroxy acids and hylaronic acid? 31:26: What is the most dangerous chemical we apply on our skin regularly?34:10: What’s the difference between sunscreen and sunblock?36:30: What is the role of melanin in our skin?40:02: What is the role of melatonin in our health? links To learn more about Ben: Website: https://www.truthtreatments.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/truth.treatments/ Find more from Darin: Website: https://superlife.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/Book: https://superlife.com/fatal-conveniences-book/Down to Earth: https://superlife.com/down-to-earth/ SPONSORS Thank you to our sponsors: Shop Therasage and use code DARIN to save 15% on your purchase: https://therasage.com/pages/shop Shop Bite and use code DARIN20 to save 20% on your Bite subscription: https://trybite.com/darin Shop Truth Treatments at with code DARIN10: https://truth360pro.com/collections/frontpage?ba=c-darin-olien I hope you enjoyed this episode of The Darin Olien Show!

Your oral microbiome is just as important as your gut microbiome. Your oral microbiome is linked to your digestion, immunity, nutrient absorption, cardiovascular health, and so much more. This means, when we use products that disrupt our oral microbiome, we also disrupt our countless other systems of the body. Mouthwash happens to be one of these products. It may leave your mouth with a minty fresh scent, but it’s also killing the bacteria that are trying to keep your teeth and gums healthy. You know that cool mint Listerine that looks cool and minty? It contains dye green number three, which has been linked to bladder cancer. And then the original Scope contained yellow number five made from a derivative of coal tar. And blue number one has been connected to cancer in many of the animal tests that have been done. This is why in today’s episode, we are going to explore solutions for the Fatal Convenience™: Mouthwash.

What happens when we make a conscious effort to truly understand the intricacies of human behavior and social intelligence? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Robert Greene about self-awareness, the ability to recognize our own flaws, and how this recognition propels personal growth. Transitioning to the idea of deception, we emphasize the need to develop a sense of detachment when observing people, drawing on Carl Jung’s concept of the enantiodromia to recognize contradictions in character traits. Oftentimes, people show us exactly the opposite of who they really are and most people tend to take this person who is standing right in front of them for face value, hence ending up being deceived in the long-term. We also discuss the pressing need for authenticity in a digital-driven world. Robert stresses the importance of fostering real-life connections and empathy and to put our phones away. Robert Greene is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, Mastery, The Laws of Human Nature, and most recently of The Daily Laws. In addition to having a strong following within the business world and a deep following in Washington, DC, Greene’s books are hailed by everyone from war historians to the biggest musicians in the industry. Key Takeaway:   While many of us tend to prefer interacting online with others, we fail to realize how many cues and messages we lose out on. See, about 95% of the communication we receive from someone is through their non-verbal cues. When chatting with someone online, these are cues you can’t get. Thus, this creates an opportunity for both parties to fall into traps they otherwise may not if they were to interact with these people in person.   If you can’t detach yourself from your emotions, then you’re most likely an easy target for people who are masters at deceiving others and have their own agenda. That being said, it’s important to develop a sense of detachment from your emotions and being able to observe people objectively. This is because people tell on themselves all the time – but you need to be receptive to the cues. When you take your emotions out of the equation, you can objectively analyze people who may be on a mission to extract something out of you. Remember, people always tell on themselves – you just need to actually listen without letting your emotions get in the way to try and rationalize truths.   It’s human nature to point our finger at others and blame them for deceiving us, hurting us, or manipulating us. This is because it’s the easy way out. When you point the finger at someone, then you immediately relieve yourself of all responsibility to make sure it doesn’t happen to you again… until it does. See, deception starts with you – YOU allowed yourself to be deceived. That’s why it’s important to be self-aware and look inwards. There may be some weaknesses or blind-spots you don’t realize you have that make you an easy prey.

We all know that to keep our windows and glass tables shiny and streak-free, we cannot settle with just water and regular soap for cleaning. In effect, window cleaners are common in households not only across the United States but across the whole world. The overall market of glass cleaners has a moderate CAGR of around 6.3% (Future Market Insights , 2023). It was valued at US $3.31 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US $6.1 billion by the end of 2032 (Future Market Insights , 2023). Meaning that the number of users will increase in the following years. However, the popularity of these products doesn’t mean that they are all good for health. While it may seem convenient to grab some bathroom and window cleaner off the shelves at the grocery store, I want you to become aware of other convenient options you have readily available to you that are a cleaner solution for your everyday cleaning products. That’s what we are going to dive into today in this episode of Fatal Conveniences: Solutions Edition.

What if you could heal your body by healing your emotional and mental health, first? In this episode of The Darin Olien show, we unravel the intricate links between physical ailments and emotional and mental health. Dr. Sam shares her unique perspective on the manifestation of symptoms as a result of suppressed truths. She explains the role of Qigong, a Chinese form of energetic medicine in unveiling these unspoken truths. We float into discussions about spiritual connection and personal growth, highlighting the importance of self-awareness and its revelations. Dr. Sam also walks you through practical tips to improve your biochemistry, brain activity, and mindset, encompassing everything from journaling to detoxification. We end our enlightening discourse reflecting on the value of conscious connection, the power of embracing growth, and the need to cherish our fleeting time. Dr. Saman Faramarzi (also known as Dr. Sam), is the Founder of SAFA Life and Wellness. She is also the leading Naturopathic Doctor at Remedy Place. She received her doctorate from Bastyr University, one of the nation’s top ND programs. She has over 10 years of clinical experience, specializing in nutritional biochemistry, the microbiome, mind-body medicine, and intravenous therapy. Key takeaways: We are constantly being fed things from both our inner and outer world that create an inbalance in us and which we’re not properly addressing. This means we are storing the burden of negative emotions in our body in addition to the chemicals that we are exposed to in the outer world. As a result, certain body parts can’t break down these negative emotions and toxins because the cup is too full and it’s not getting drained properly. For example, our liver tends to take on anger and resentment, in addition to certain toxins such as mold. The reason we are all depleted is because we’re not nourishing our mind and our soul. We have been thought to take care of this physical body and no one’s taught us that we have to take care of our energetic body and our spirit body as well. Spirit controls energy, which controls matter and it’s a powerful thing that goes bi-directionally; matter controls energy, which controls spirit as well. Many of us look for our happiness in other people. We look at our significant others, our kids, and even our pets as a source of joy and happiness. However, this is the wrong place to look for and depend on for real happiness because they can disappear at any second. Plus, this puts an immense pressure on the people you love. Depending on people for happiness depletes them of their own energy in order to make ourselves vital.

Did you know 75% of people living in the United States suffer from dehydration? This causes fatigue, brain fog, irritability, hormonal issues, poor digestion, and lack of proper functioning of different systems in your body, and more. In fact, your body can’t always differentiate between your feelings of hunger and thirst. Which means, when you feel hungry, it could actually mean you’re just thirsty. Confusing these feelings can lead to excess food intake and unwanted weight gain. Although most people will use sports drinks and regular tap water to hydrate themselves, these are not the most effective ways to do it and come with certain effects that affect our health. Therefore, we must look for safer and healthier alternatives to prevent dehydration. That’s what we explore in this episode of Fatal Conveniences™ Solution edition.

Have you ever reflected on the profound impact of water on your health? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Tracy Duhs who explains how our bodies are a symphony of water molecules that define our bone and cell structures. Tracy’s insights on the significance of basic health habits like grounding ourselves with the earth and nurturing relationships beautifully underscore the holistic nature of well-being. Plunging further into our exploration, we delve into the complex chemistry of water and discuss its bioenergetic frequency profile. Tracy educates us on the importance of drinking water that resonates with our biological water body and the magic of natural spring water. Tracy also shares tips on creating a sacred sleep space and the benefits of movement for our bodies. We delve into the transformative power of creative playtime, mindfulness, and plant medicines in furthering self-understanding. Tracy works as a modern wellness advocate specializing in the restorative powers of intelligent hydration. She has parlayed her wealth of experience and knowledge into a multi-dimensional career in wellness advocacy and education, starting with her podcast, HYDRATE. Tracy frequently consults large corporations and hotels to help build and facilitate wellness experiences. She also serves as the Director of the International Brain Summit. She is the founder of the Sanctuary Wellness Experience in San Diego and co-founder of Hydrate at the Sanctuary. Key takeaways: Restructuring your water doesn’t have to be expensive – you can do it with a few simple steps at home with things you already have. A few easy ways include adding sea salt to the water. As a result, the water’s molecular structure can be altered or organized in a way that enhances its properties. The same can be said about stirring your water with a spoon; this movement helps recharge your water at the frequency your body needs. Lastly, speaking to your water before you drink it also helps alter the water’s frequency so that it is coherent with what your body needs. Water may be clear, but it’s so much more than its chemistry – Its frequency profile has to be coherent with your body for it to properly benefit you. To learn if the water you are drinking resonates with you and your body, pause and acknowledge how the water you ingested is making you feel right after you drink it. Does it make you feel thirsty? Does it make you feel hydrated? Does it make you feel happy? If you don’t feel hydrated after drinking water, then the frequency of the water you are drinking is not coherent with what your body needs at that moment. Water, food, information, conversations, environments, and sleep are only a few things among the nine pillars of health that we tend to forget about in today’s modern society. These are simple, basic pillars we can easily take control of and optimize. Making small changes to your daily habits could be the key to upgrading your vitality.

Are you passionate about the stuff you do to make a living? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Alice Chun about her passion to help those who are in need around the world, through social entrepreneurship. While her passion to help others in need and reduce humanity’s carbon footprint didn’t work out in the non-profit world, it is tremendously successful as a socially responsible for-profit company. With 1.6 billion people who live without access to electricity around the world, her solar-powered lightbulbs are making a difference for people all around the world. Alice also shares what ambitions and dreams she has for this purpose-driven company of hers and how her childhood helped her become the resilient entrepreneur she is today. Alice Chun is the cofounder and CEO of Solight Design and the inventor of the SolarPuff, the world’s only self-inflatable, portable solar light. She’s won numerous awards, including the U.S. Patent Award for Humanity. Her products have been exhibited at MOMA in New York City. Chun was previously a Professor of Architecture and Material Technology at Columbia University and a Professor of Design and Material Culture at Parsons the New School. Key takeaways: The sun is the most powerful source of energy on this Earth – but the biggest source of light in this Universe is the one within you. This light within you is the light that will give you the strength to get through obstacles, to fight for what you believe in, and make the change you want to see. And no matter how hard it may be to feel that light within you on some days, you have the comfort of knowing that the sun always comes back up the next day – the light will always come back. When you are working towards creating something that is better than you, greater than you, and more important than you, it takes a lot of courage. Because of that, a lot of people wait until they find this courage before they start putting in the work to bring their ideas to life. However, that’s the wrong way to do it. See, if you really believe in this idea you have and are really passionate about it, you will find that courage to take on this project will come naturally as you get started. At least, that’s the case for most social entrepreneurs.

Why aren’t we doing more for our aboriginal people? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I discuss with Sonya and Phil from Process Unite the different issues Aboriginal people are still facing in Australia. From societal perceptions to standards of living, a lot has not changed in terms of how we treat Aboriginal people despite proclaiming progress. Sonya and Phil also chat about how many governments tend to compartmentalize the environment and the land they have built on, which comes with some heavy consequences. Sonya and Phil represent the Girringun Aboriginal Corporation. It is located at Cardwell, halfway between Townsville and Cairns in north Queensland. The corporation represents the interests of traditional owners from nine tribal groups: Bandjin, Djiru, Girramay, Gugu Badhun, Gulnay, Jirrbal, Nywaigi, Warrgamay, and Warungnu. Takeaways: Most of what we think we know about our aboriginal people is not true and was fed to you by some political news outlet. While racism tends to be the main reason why we’re not informed on the reality of our Aboriginal people, it shouldn’t be the reason we stay ignorant about them. We can get out of our way and fact-check what it is we are being told that our governments are doing for our aboriginal people. So why don’t we do it? When you think “ I’ll just take what I need” instead of “ I’ll take what there is”, you’re helping the environment. However, the reality is we often think the latter. At least, that is the case in a first-world country. But there is a small percentage of people who live in first-world countries that think the opposite way: aboriginal people. See, our environment is perfectly balanced to offer us everything we need to survive. Aboriginal people know that hence why they only pick what they need from nature. But us colonizers, we don’t know how to do that – and because of that, we’re imposing the consequences of OUR actions on these people.

In this eye-opening episode, we explore the shocking truth behind grocery store fresh produce and its impact on our health and the environment. You may think you’re making healthy choices by filling your basket with vibrant, fresh vegetables, but did you know that their nutrient value starts to decline seconds after harvest? With pollution from transportation and chemical treatments to maintain freshness, it’s time to reconsider where we source our fruits and vegetables. In this episode, we’ll discuss the importance of supporting local food sources and making better choices for our health and the environment. From the alarming decline in nutritional value of grocery store produce to the chemicalization of food production, this episode will leave you questioning what’s really on your plate. Let’s make small changes with a big impact on our health and the world around us.

Did you know there are over 6,000 transactions per SECOND? That’s a whole lot of consumption going on. Now, can you imagine what a difference it would make if only 1/10 of those purchases were made on sustainable products and brands? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Douglas Sabo, Chief Sustainability Officer at Visa about their sustainability efforts to diminish the carbon footprint emitted from the consumption propelled by their brand. From developing the Green Bonds Framework to reporting back on their sustainability efforts and partnering with brands that make sustainability accessible for consumers, Visa is working hard to ensure we are moving forward towards a greener planet. Douglas Sabo is Chief Sustainability Officer at Visa Inc. In this role, Sabo leads the development and oversight of Visa’s global environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts, including Visa’s ESG strategy, framework, reporting, and stakeholder engagement. Sabo also leads Visa’s initiatives in environmental sustainability, human rights, and other areas of responsible business. In sustainability, Sabo’s work includes building out Visa’s initiatives in the company’s operations as well as in empowering sustainable living and commerce. Key Takeaways: Oftentimes, corporations are guilty of greenwashing and tricking consumers into believing they’re making a good decision by picking these brands. While the truth tends to come to light at some point, corporate accountability ensures they are doing what they claim to do. Brands and industries must collaborate and cooperate to reduce their emission footprint. While it has started happening, it tends to get very competitive as certain brands compete close to each other. However, cooperating and collaborating in this way allows them to change landscapes and move forward. Moving forward is the antidote to changing towards a better world. While most of our consumption is unsustainable, it doesn’t mean it has to be like that or stay that way. Finding solutions and implementing solutions is the way to move forward toward a greener world.

When it comes to animal agriculture, most animals aren’t living freely pasturing in wide-spaced green areas. Breeders and animal farms are more likely to be torturous prisons than the happy Uncle Bill farm that appears on the logo of your favorite hamburgers. And guess what? It comes at a cost to your health. The animal industry is regulated differently by each country, but there’s one thing in common: meat from sick animals can’t be commercialized, but with the living conditions of the animals, they are inevitably going to get sick. So “naturally”, the animals in farms are medically treated to prevent or combat infectious diseases, most of which are treated with antibiotics. You know the age-old saying: You are what you eat. So what happens to your health when the meat you are eating is pumped with antibiotics? This is what we explore in this episode of Fatal Conveniences™.

Are you capable of forgiving? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Danielle Laporte about what it is to love, to forgive, and how they both impact a relationship. Many of us tend to lead in our relationships from our wounds and not from a state of consciousness that is equivalent to love, which is the reason why so many relationships these days go sideways at some point. Danielle also shares the role that karma plays in our lives and how we can recognize it in the relationships we are a part of. Danielle Laporte is a best-selling Canadian author, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and blogger. Her book, The Fire Starter Sessions (Harmony, 2014), is a best-seller and focuses on finding your passion in life and work – inside the system and out. Key takeaways: We often fail to realize that some of our behavior in relationships is due to some unhealed wounds we have within us. These wounds speak for us and they may make us sound and act irrationally. The first step to healing these wounds is acknowledging them. Then, it’s communicating them to those we share a relationship with so they can better understand where we’re coming from. While it may feel tempting to forever act and speak from this place of hurt, we must do the inner work to heal these wounds. We can’t blame these wounds forever. Love is a state of consciousness that allows us to think beyond just ourselves. But the ego wants us to believe love is just an emotion or a feeling because the ego always wants you to be in a state where you’re constantly searching to “earn” and feel the satisfaction of accomplishing such a thing. This means you’re constantly looking for ways for which you can earn someone’s love or that you can feed someone your love, so they can earn it too. Therefore, to be in a happy and loving relationship, you must make the switch from ego to consciousness. We are programmed by society to perceive ourselves in certain ways. We see ourselves as a certain astrological sign, introverts, extroverts, and all types of other boxes they try to put us in.

Burning incense or resins has been a common practice among almost all ancient civilizations in the preservation of tombs, spiritual healing, and ceremonies. But…the commercialization of incense has led to incense no longer being what they once were… Did you know, incense contains 35% fragrances…and you know what’s hiding under the fragrance label? Chemicals linked to cancer, hormonal imbalances, endocrine disruption, birth defects and reproductive problems. Plus, burning incense can emit benzene, toluene and other volatile organic compounds deteriorating the environment. This is only skimming the surface and why we’re about to explore the fatal convenience of incense.

Which version of you is sitting at the head of the table? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Stef Ziev about how easy it is to create the life you want, but also how easy it is to create a life where we believe we have no choice. She explains how we often tell ourselves stories that are coming from a place of despair. Instead, we should be looking through a lense of new opportunity. Stef also explains the importance of becoming conscious of who it is we are letting sit at the head table in our life. Without realizing it, we may be letting the perfectionist, pessimist, and fearful version of ourselves sit at this important spot. By becoming conscious of it, we can swap out which version of you is sitting at that front seat for one that wants the best for you. Stef Ziev is a former TV executive turned certified life and executive coach and author. Since starting her coaching practice in 2007, Stef has worked with thousands of successful and driven professionals, executives, leaders, and organizations in the fields of entertainment, law, marketing, financial services, accounting, engineering, and talent delivery at companies including The New York Times, Google, American Express, Viacom, NBCUniversal, Pearle Vision, and many more. Key Takeaways: We have the personal responsibility to become conscious in this unconscious world. Too many of us are operating on auto-pilot and from a place of stress. And from this place of stress comes a bunch of stories that don’t make any sense. As we feed our brain with these thoughts, we unconsciously close out the world of opportunities for ourselves. We all have a certain version of us sitting at the head of our table. Sometimes it is our optimistic self and other times it is our pessimist self. In other cases, it can be our perfectionist self. While most of us don’t instinctively have the best suited version of ourselves at the head of the table, we can take a second to acknowledge which version we allowed to sit down at this important spot of the table. When this version of ourselves is holding us back, we need to make the conscious decision to replace this unsuited version of ourselves with the one who will get the job done. Cultivating the life you want for yourself starts with taking personal responsibility for the universe you create for yourself. It starts with curating the right thoughts, asking yourself the right questions, and opening your mind to all the opportunities and choices you have available to you. When you don’t do this, that’s when you can fall intro the trap of creating your own universe of “no choice” where you settle for a life you don’t want.

When you remove those factors, do you have a healthy product? Tony the Tiger might stop telling children that cereal is “Grrreat” if he knew they were full of refined grains, GMOs, pesticides, herbicides, and sugar that are causing all kinds of health problems for the millions of people who start their day with a bowl of this stuff.

Did you know that your cell phone could be the root cause of some of your health problems? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Hagen Thiers about the dangers of EMFs and radiation, and the numerous health issues that can arise from prolonged exposure. We also dive into Waveguard, a shielding material developed by Hagen that is designed to minimize or block electromagnetic radiation from electronic devices. Hagen Thiers is the inventor of Qi-Technology, which is a solution to protect against electromagnetic radiation. He embarked on a mission to create a solution for this problem in 2008 and founded Qi-Technologies in 2014. The company has since become the world market leader for radiation protection devices and has sold products to 40 countries worldwide. Key takeaways: Protecting yourself from radiation is a key to having good health and a good system. The body reacts to EMFs and radiation with stress. When we are exposed, the body produces cortisol and brain waves begin changing. You may shield your home against radiation with construction measures, but you will still face problems when you are on the go. breakdown 00:04:14 What was going on in Hagen’s early life? 00:10:57: Why are sleeping disorders the biggest problem for people? 00:14:32: How are cell phones and radiation causing cell communication disorder? 00:19:01: How Waveguard was started 00:30:33: The rate of how strongly a person reacts to EMFs determines if you’re sensitive or not 00:37:28: Why prolonged exposure to EMFs can be dangerous 00:46:35: What was the foundation for this technology? 00:54:17: The numerous studies on why EMFs are dangerous 01:01:58: The two upcoming Waveguard devices 01:07:58: Why non-ionizing radiation is still harmful from proximity and over time 01:12:18: The best ways to mitigate EMF exposure 01:20:42: Where to learn more about the research behind Waveguard LINKS Find more from Hagen Thiers: Website: https://waveguard.com/en/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/emf_coach?igshid=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg== Find more from Darin: Website: https://superlife.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/ Book: https://superlife.com/fatal-conveniences-book/ Down to Earth: https://superlife.com/down-to-earth/ sponsors More links: Shop Barukas and use code DARIN10 to save 10% on your order: https://barukas.com/discount/DARIN10 Shop Therasage and use code DARIN to save 15% on your purchase: https://therasage.com/pages/shop I hope you enjoyed this episode of The Darin Olien Show!

Gas stoves provide an instant and constant heat source and burn cleaner than coal and wood burning stoves. And people who love their gas stoves really loooove their gas stoves.But if they knew what their beloved cooktop was releasing into their home, would they still hold it in such high regard? Nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and fine particulate matter are just a few harmful pollutants found in gas stoves, and it doesn’t stop there. And what about induction stoves? They don’t burn gas, so this must be an eco-friendly alternative, right? Induction cooktops offer fast and efficient cooking by using electromagnetic energy to transfer heat to magnetic cookware. But induction stoves also come with a warning. Pregnant women, children, or individuals who rely on a pacemaker should avoid this cooktop due to potential exposure to EMFs. And we know that EMFs are linked to all kinds of harmful consequences. Is boiling water faster worth the risk? That’s what we will explore in this episode of Fatal Conveniences™.

How much time per day do you sunbathe? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Robby Besner about how disconnected we are from nature and how much of today’s chronic illnesses are due to it. While most of us live a life where we can’t completely cut off EMFs from our lives nor live outdoors, there is a solution to reconnecting with our balanced and natural energetic fields: infrared light therapy.  Infrared light therapy involves the use of low-level light in the infrared spectrum to promote healing and provide various therapeutic benefits. While the effectiveness and specific applications of infrared light therapy may vary, some potential benefits include pain relief, improved circulation, reduced inflammation, enhanced immune function, enhanced tissue repair, and stress reduction.  Robby Besner, PSc.D, is recognized as the leader in integrated infrared technology. Rob has always been an advocate of natural health and wellness.  After many years of illness, Mr. Besner’s teenage daughter was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. This began his mission to find alternative, holistic and homeopathic avenues of treatment. He discovered the natural healing effects of Infrared frequencies and began developing specialized devices and applications to help his daughter, and others, with similar health challenges.  Key Takeaways: Infrared light therapy involves the use of low-level light in the infrared spectrum to promote healing and provide various therapeutic benefits. While the effectiveness and specific applications of infrared light therapy may vary, some potential benefits include pain relief, improved circulation, reduced inflammation, enhanced immune function, enhanced tissue repair, and stress reduction.  Due to the over-usage of electronics that emit EMFs in our day-to-day, our bodies’ energetic charge is unbalanced. We have too many positive charges and not enough negative charges. This can cause all types of health problems, particularly chronic illnesses. While the solution to rebalancing these charges is simple – i.e. grounding ourselves and spending time in nature, it’s not something we can easily or realistically do all the time in today’s modern world. Thus, the importance of both limiting exposure to EMFs and doing infrared light therapy.  Most Americans don’t spend enough time absorbing rays. This means that while your skin is safe from sun damage one can incur from over-exposure to UV rays, you’re also missing out on the benefits you can only get from sunlight such as visible light and infrared (IR) rays. Visible light is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye.  It’s important to expose yourself to it as it helps regulate the body’s circadian rhythm and has a positive impact on mood and overall well-being. As for infrared rays, these have longer wavelengths than visible light and are often felt as heat. They can penetrate the skin more deeply than UV rays and has proven benefits in pain relief, tissue repair, and improved circulation.

The vegan food label has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. It allows individuals who choose to adopt a vegan lifestyle to easily identify products that align with their dietary choices and values.    However, the vegan label can also be dangerous, as many people mistakenly believe that just because a food item is vegan, it must be healthy. This makes it confusing for a significant part of the  public to make right decisions about their food intakes.   It’s time for us to start taking a second look at the vegan food labels to see the nasty ingredients hiding within that can be just as detrimental to our health as animal foods. If we want to use plant-based diets for the good of our health and the planet, we need to become educated beyond the labels we see on the front of food packages. Food marketing is scamming us of our health and it’s time for it to end.    That’s why, in today’s Fatal Convenience, we explore the Vegan Food Label.      Reliable Sources where you can learn more:   The Game Changers Documentary  9 Scientific Benefits of Following a Plant-Based Diet  Health Benefits of a Vegan Diet  6 Science-Based Health Benefits of Eating Vegan  The Vegan Diet  BREAKDOWN 07:46: How is meat consumption bad for us and the environment?08:34: The history of veganism12:09: Do we really need to kill animals to get nutrients?14:31: Can you be healthy by avoiding dairy and meat?15:09: What resources can you use to learn more?16:51: What is this all doing to our digestive systems?17:37: How can you eat a healthy vegan diet? links Find more from Darin: Website: https://superlife.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/Book: https://superlife.com/fatal-conveniences-book/Down to Earth: https://superlife.com/down-to-earth/ SPONSORS Thank you to our sponsors: Pre-Order the Fatal Conveniences book releasing May 16th: https://superlife.com/fatal-conveniences-book/ Learn more about The Dirt Locker® by visiting www.dirtlocker.com I hope you enjoyed this episode of The Darin Olien Show!
