SuperLife with Darin Olien

We can finally get back to traveling!

This is awesome news, but it does come with some costs. While I'm grateful for the effort that airports make to keep us all safe, I don't think we should have to sacrifice health or autonomy to do it. Are body scanners really necessary? Listen to this segment to find out, and to learn how you can protect yourself.

The ocean should be at the center of every conversation involving saving our planet. The sad reality is that most of us aren't literate in the inner workings of the sea.

The average person spends nearly 3,000 hours in bed sleeping every year. That's a lot of time spent on your mattress and pillows. In this segment, I go over the history of this innovative invention and why we're so taken by it.

Our oral and dental health is often placed in a forgotten category. In this episode, Dr. Ron Ehrlich blew my mind with just how vital the mouth actually is. Dental health is not only related to your overall health. It is much more significant than you might realize. I'm not just talking about getting your yearly teeth cleaning. This is much deeper than that. Breathing, sleeping, eating, pain and even outward appearances all lead back to the mouth. So let's use ours to shush for a bit and listen to Dr. Ron.

In this segment, I dive deep into aerosol spray deodorants. Aerosols, in general, are bad news, and I cover why in this segment as well. But deodorant spray, in particular, is basically a chemical bath for your sensitive glands and lymph nodes. There are better options, guys!

She is incredibly passionate about using her business endeavors not only as a creative outlet for herself but for the world. Every decision made is both environmentally and socially conscious.

You wouldn't eat a bag of dried pellets made of meat by-products. So why would you feed it to your pet? Just like humans, animals need proper nutrition to thrive and live happy, healthy lives. Most store-bought dog and cat foods consist of low-quality meats, fillers and preservatives. Our four-legged friends are our family, and they deserve better.

This is a bite-sized segment that parallels The Darin Olien Show. In these segments, we get into society's Fatal Conveniences™. I define these as the things we may be doing because the world we live in makes us believe we have to. These things save us time and trick us into thinking they're actually good for us. But it's those same things that are breaking down our health, and the health of the environment around us.

I've spent most of my adult life obsessively researching these "conveniences." On every show, I pick one topic, and we dive into it. My goal is to make you more aware of these traps so that you can push back on them. Remember, it starts with you and the choices you make.

So, if you're willing to look at your world from a different perspective and make little tweaks that amount to big changes, then this segment is for you.

Pet diseases have increased 80% in the last fifty years.

When most of the store-bought pet foods on the market are filled with junk, it's not very hard to figure out why. Pet food manufacturers are constantly trying to make the food making process cheaper. So that means cheap ingredients and cheap packaging. All of that results in poor nutritional health for your furry friends.

This one isn't tough, guys. We need to make sure our pets are eating whole, nutritional foods. I choose a plant-based diet for myself, but I know a vegan diet isn't best for my German Shepherd, Chaga. So I give him a fresh, mostly raw diet consisting of 75% meat and 25% veggies and ancient grains. I'll give you some tips on how to use fresh food for your dog and some fresh pet food companies that I love. Our pets are our babies, so let's make sure we're giving them the best life possible.

Other info in this segment:

• 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
• Is grain-free better for your dog?
• What foods are best for cats and dogs
• Great fresh pet food companies

Across the world, rivers are drying up, and once lush green lands are transforming into deserts. To reverse the destruction of our planet, more people need to become aware of the desperate need for more trees.

I'm Darin Olien, the "superfood hunter." On this podcast, you'll hear honest conversations with extraordinary people that inspire me. I hope that through their knowledge and unique perspectives, they'll inspire you, too.

Although our ideas and approaches to life may differ, our ultimate goal is the same. We want to save the planet. So we're going to try, one conversation at a time. If you're interested in expanding your view of the world while learning new angles on health and nutrition, you're at the right place.

Sadhguru is a yogi, a mystic, and a New York Times best-selling author. Once named one of India's 50 most influential people, Sadhguru's work spans various causes all across the planet. He's been an influential voice at major global forums, including the United Nations World Headquarters and the World Economic Forum. He covers a wide range of topics such as socio-economic development, leadership, education, and spirituality at these forums. One of his many significant accomplishments is founding the Isha Foundation, a non-profit organization run by over 11 million volunteers worldwide.

Sadhguru is extremely knowledgeable about so many different things that affect our planet. In this conversation, we focus on his passion for preserving Native American culture and his initiative to heal the earth by planting trees. Inspired by what he calls "a spiritual encounter with a Native American spirit," Sadhguru embarked on a 10,000-mile motorcycle journey across 16 states. His goal was to explore a 40,000-year-old culture that is disappearing every day.

Sadhguru doesn't just dip his toes into a mission. He fully immerses himself in it. And his wisdom and compassion compel others to do the same, which makes him such a powerful force to bring real, actionable change to the world. With his initiative, Project Greenhands, 42.1 million trees were planted in farmland in South India.

I could talk to Sadhguru for hours, and I wish I could have since there was so much we couldn't cover. However, if you're not familiar with him or his work, this is an excellent introduction of what can be done when, as he says, "you have ecology in your heart."

• What drew him to Native American culture
• Little known facts about Native American culture

Are you among the nearly 66% of the population that uses lip balm or chapstick every day? If you are, you may actually be drying your lips out more instead of moisturizing them. Although you think you're doing something good for your skin, you're contributing to a vicious cycle of dry lips.

This is a bite-sized segment that parallels The Darin Olien Show. In these segments, we get into society's Fatal Conveniences™. I define these as the things we may be doing because the world we live in makes us believe we have to. These things save us time and trick us into thinking they're actually good for us. But it's those same things that are breaking down our health, and the health of the environment around us.

So, if you're willing to look at your world from a different perspective and make little tweaks that amount to big changes, then this segment is for you.

Americans spend $200 Million on Lip Balm and Chapstick every year.

You probably have some lip balm within arm's reach right now. You can find tubes of lip balm in every bathroom, nightstand, kitchen junk drawer, purse and jacket pocket of pretty much every American household. We've been obsessively buying this stuff for almost a century. We think it helps moisturize the sensitive skin on and around our lips, but does it?

The truth is, layering waxy substances on your lips creates a moisture barrier. So although they may feel soft and moisturized, you're preventing your body's natural process of shedding dead skin and creating new, healthy cells. Then when your lip balm or chapstick wears off, your lips feel dry, and you apply more. This essentially stops your lips from regenerating new skin.

You need to let those lips breathe! But hey, I know certain conditions call for some sort of protection or healing for your lips. But you need to be aware of which ingredients are going to do more damage than good. I'll give you some healthy, safe alternatives, as well as tips for things you can do to keep your lips moisturized naturally. So, ditch that Cherry ChapStick, guys, and listen up.

Other info in this episode:

• The history of lip balm
• The history of ChapStick
• The Lipsmackers campaign to invade pre-teen purses
• Lazy Lips
• The dangers of menthols and cooling agents on your lips

We all tend to stress about finding the perfect diet or exercise plan to keep us as healthy as possible. But there's so much more to it than that. To keep your body healthy, you have to focus on other aspects of your life as well. What if I told you that kindness, connection, and love have just as much to do with your health as diet and exercise?

I'm Darin Olien, the "superfood hunter." On this podcast, you'll hear honest conversations with extraordinary people that inspire me. I hope that through their knowledge and unique perspectives, they'll inspire you, too.

Marta is an incredibly knowledgeable science writer and journalist, published in the Washington Post, Scientific American, and The Atlantic among many others. Her new book Growing Young: How Friendship, Optimism, and Kindness Can Help You Live to 100 quickly became one of my favorites. It's a research-driven look at the power of human connection and attitude, and how they biologically drive our existence.

In this episode, Marta and I chat about all the things that some health gurus seem to forget. It's not just about what we eat and drink, it's about how we interact with the people around us. It's about our attitude towards the world, and how we nurture our emotional health. Marta is full of a massive amount of scientifically backed information and insights, I really had a blast with this conversation. She breaks down the biology behind friendships and relationships, and why they really are key to our quality of life. We chat about hormones, microbiomes, and why everyone should have a dog like my Chaga. We're not talking about superfoods in this one, guys, but it's just as important.
