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.

How to Stay Cool 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.    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.      Find more from Darin:   Website: https://darinolien.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/ Book: https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/ Down to Earth: https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/     Find more from Torrey:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/torreydevitto/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/torreydevitto?lang=en      Thank you to our sponsors!    Truth Treatments: Go to https://www.truthtreatments.com/ and use code DARIN10 at checkout for 10% off.    Methodology: Check out  www.gomethodology.com and use the code DARIN to get 10% off the first week (offer valid for first-time customers only).Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com  and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off.

Torrey DeVitto: How to Reconnect With Nature and Source

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.       What I discuss:    04:30: Why is bluetooth dangerous?  09:37: What solutions are available to us?      Thank you to our sponsors:    Order the Fatal Conveniences book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/    Shop  Therasage  and use code DARIN to save 15% on your purchase:  https://therasage.com/pages/shop      Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/

Secrets of a Safer Sound: How to Protect Yourself From Electromagnetic Frequencies

Laura Putnam

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.      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?    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.     Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/      Find more from Laura:    Website:  https://www.lauraputnam.com/  and  https://www.motioninfusion.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lauraputnamauthor/      More links:    Manna Vitality: https://www.mannavitality.com/  Therasage: https://therasage.com/  Bite: https://bitetoothpastebits.com/

Laura Putnam: How to Get More Movement In At Work

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.     What I discuss:    07:28: What are the dangers of deodorant?  13:25: What brands can you safely use?    Reliable sources where you can learn more:     https://nalacare.com/blogs/journal/how-do-natural-deodorants-work  https://www.realsimple.com/beauty-fashion/skincare/bath-body/natural-deodorant  https://nalacare.com/blogs/journal/how-do-natural-deodorants-work  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15043988/  https://www.livestrong.com/article/155243-foods-to-eliminate-body-odor/  https://www.wellandgood.com/alcohol-body-odor-sweating/  https://askthescientists.com/body-odor/     Thank you to our sponsors:    Shop  Therasage  and use code DARIN to save 15% on your purchase:  https://therasage.com/pages/shop    Order my Fatal Conveniences book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/    Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/

​​How to Naturally Eliminate Body Odor

Ever considered how the food you eat impacts your skin?     In this episode of The Darin Olien podcast, Benjamin Knight Fuchs 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 Knight 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.     What we discuss:     02:10: How did Darin and Benjamin 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?    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.         To learn more about Benjamin:    Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/truth.treatments/   Shop Truth Treatments with code DARIN10: https://truth360pro.com/collections/frontpage?ba=c-darin-olien    Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/    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

Benjamin Knight Fuchs: How to Eat Your Way to Better Skin

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 I discuss:    00:14: What are the dangers of mouthwash?  05:16: What can you use instead of mouthwash to protect your microbiome?     More links:    Shop Methodology at  https://www.gomethodology.com/  and use the code DARIN at checkout.     Shop Aquatru at  https://aquatruwater.com/?oid=2&amp;affid=95&amp;c=darinolien  to save $100.     Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/

Protect Your Mouth Microbiome With These Natural Solutions

Robert Greene

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.     What we discuss:    04:00: Why did Robert write his book?  11:20: How can we open up our consciousness?   17:13: How can we build up new skills once we recognize our weaknesses?  23:05: What strategies can we resort to cultivate awareness?  29:56: What can we do better as a society?  45:59: What does our history say about us?  51:21: How has Robert’s stroke affected his life?    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.       To learn more about Robert:    Website:  https://powerseductionandwar.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/robertgreeneofficial/    Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/    More links:    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  Dirt Locker  and use code DARIN10 to save 10% on your purchase:  http://www.dirtlocker.com

Robert Greene: The #1 Way to Protect Yourself From Being Deceived By Others

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.     Reliable Sources where you can learn more:     https://www.reference.com/world-view/harmful-chemicals-windex-50b1fc55cc61d0de  https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3109/17435390.2012.689881  https://www.housedigest.com/396472/why-you-should-think-twice-about-cleaning-with-windex/     Thank you to our sponsors:    Shop  Therasage  and use code DARIN to save 15% on your purchase:  https://therasage.com/pages/shop    Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/

4 Simple Solutions for Cleaning Up Your Cleaning Products

Sam Faramarzi

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.    What we discuss:    (0:00:00) - Exploring Naturopathic Medicine and Healing  (0:08:49) - Addressing Obstacles and Nourishing the Body  (0:14:23) - Spiritual Connection and Personal Growth  (0:31:00) - Cultivating Energy and Connection  (0:34:51) - Exploring Qigong, Gratitude, and Detoxification  (0:50:37) - Conscious Men and Quality Supplements  (1:02:40) - Embracing Growth and Appreciating Time    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.        Find more from Dr. Sam:    Website:  https://theswellscore.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/dr.sam.nd/?hl=en    Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/    More links:    Shop Truth Treatments at  https://truth360pro.com/collections/frontpage?ba=c-darin-olien    Shop Methodology at  https://www.gomethodology.com/  and use the code DARIN at checkout.     Manna Vitality: Head over to mannavitality.com and use code Darin12 to save 12% off.

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.   What we discuss:   (0:00:00) - Exploring Naturopathic Medicine and Healing (0:08:49) - Addressing Obstacles and Nourishing the Body (0:14:23) - Spiritual Connection and Personal Growth (0:31:00) - Cultivating Energy and Connection (0:34:51) - Exploring Qigong, Gratitude, and Detoxification (0:50:37) - Conscious Men and Quality Supplements (1:02:40) - Embracing Growth and Appreciating Time   Key takeaways:   <ul> <li> 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. </li> </ul><ul> <li> 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. </li> </ul><ul> <li> 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.

Dr. Sam Faramarzi: Discovering the Power of Conscious Connection in Holistic Healing

I’m Darin Olien, the “Superfood Hunter.” If you’re looking for motivation to take the next step towards a happier, healthier life then you’re in the right place.On this podcast, you’ll hear honest conversations with extraordinary people that educate and inspire me.

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.    What I discuss:    02:24: How big of a problem is dehydration?  08:42: What are the benefits of proper hydration?  09:30: What are my top 3 choices for remineralizing your water?    Reliable Sources where you can learn more:     7 ways to stay hydrated.   Homemade solutions to hydration   Rehydrate tips   Ways to rehydrate outside of plein water     Links Mentioned:    Manna Vitality: Head over to mannavitality.com and use code Darin12 to save 12% off.     Order my Fatal Conveniences book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/    Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/

3 Simple Ways to Hydrate Optimally for Better Health

Tracy Duhs

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.      What we discuss:    02:28: Why did Tracy want to write this book?  08:14: What’s the issue with school for our children?  11:03: Where did Tracy’s interest in water come from?  18:58: What is the latest thing Tracy learned about water?  27:28: What would Tracy do to educate people more about water?  31:08: How can we restructure water?  36:31: What are the nine pillars of health?  39:56: What is Tracy’s mindfulness practice like?  49:02: What is Tracy’s bedtime regimen?  51:50: Where can you learn more about Tracy?    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.        To learn more about Tracy:    Website:  https://tracyduhs.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/  Podcast:  https://tracyduhs.com/podcasts/  Book:  https://tracyduhs.com/product/hydrate-with-tracy-duhs/    Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/    More links:    Shop  Dirt Locker  and use code DARIN10 to save 10% on your purchase:  http://www.dirtlocker.com    Shop  Therasage  and use code DARIN to save 15% on your purchase:  https://therasage.com/pages/shop    Shop Manna and use code DARIN20 at checkout to save:  www.mannavitality.com

My Top Tips for Improving Deep Sleep

Alice Chun

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.      What we discuss:    14:09: To what degree are we all inner-connected?  23:30: What is the issue with the big non-profit organizations?  27:05: How did Hillary Clinton help Alice’s mission?  33:34: What is the symbolic value of Alice’s product?  37:46: What are some of the challenges that Alice faced in her life?   48:18: What was Alice’s process for building her product?  57:42: What is Alice’s dream?  59:51: Where can we learn more about Alice?      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.

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.     What we discuss:   14:09: To what degree are we all inner-connected? 23:30: What is the issue with the big non-profit organizations? 27:05: How did Hillary Clinton help Alice’s mission? 33:34: What is the symbolic value of Alice’s product? 37:46: What are some of the challenges that Alice faced in her life?  48:18: What was Alice’s process for building her product? 57:42: What is Alice’s dream? 59:51: Where can we learn more about Alice?     Key takeaways:     <ul> <li> 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.</li> </ul><ul> <li> 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.</li> </ul>     Find more from Alice:   Website: <a href="https://solight-design.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://solight-design.com</a> Instagram:    Find more from Darin:   Website: <a href="https://darinolien.com/" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://darinolien.com/</a> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/</a> Book: <a href="https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/</a> Down to Earth: <a href="https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/</a>     More links:   Shop Methodology at  <a href="https://www.gomethodology.com/" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.gomethodology.com/</a> and use the code DARIN at checkout.    Learn more about The Dirt Locker® by visiting <a href="http://www.dirtlocker.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.dirtlocker.com</a>

The History of Antibiotics | Fatal Conveniences™

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.    What we discuss:    04:01: How was it like for Sonya and Phil to be on Down to Earth?  06:32: What are Sonya and Phil’s focus on these days?  15:49: What would be the things Sonya and Phil want to get past?  21:31: How are people justifying not helping Aboriginal people?  25:39: What is the truth about the way Aboriginal people are living in Australia?  38:45: What are the young people’s points of view of this reality?  55:49: How can we support Sonya and Phil’s efforts?  58:19: How important are the animals and plants to the Aboriginal people?  1:07:48: What is the impact of compartmentalizing the environment?      Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/    Find more from Sonya and Phil:    Website:  https://www.girringun.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/girringunaboriginalcorp/    More links:    Shop Truth Treatments at  https://truth360pro.com/collections/frontpage?ba=c-darin-olien    Shop Methodology at  https://www.gomethodology.com/  and use the code DARIN at checkout.      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.

Sonya Takau and Phil Rist: The Truth About How We Take Care Of Our Aboriginal 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.      What we discuss:     (0:00:03) - The Pitfalls of Grocery Store Produce  (0:04:55) - The Importance of Local Food  (0:06:58) - The history of grocery stores  (0:13:38) - The use of Pesticides   (0:18:15) - Promoting Healthy Choices      Find more from Darin:     Order the Fatal Conveniences book:  darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book  Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/      Thank you to our sponsor:    Therasage:  Go to  www.therasage.com and  use code  DARIN  at checkout  for 15% off.      Reliable Sources:       https://tnmuseum.org/junior-curators/posts/the-story-of-piggly-wiggly-the-first-supermarket?locale=en_us#:~:text=Then%2C%20on%20September%2011%2C%201916,would%20pick%20their%20own%20items.   https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/the-evolution-of-the-supermarket-from-dry-goods-stores-to-amazon-go   https://www.interestingfacts.com/produce-aisle-facts/YVJETg55YwAH_Lrt   https://archive.thinkprogress.org/local-versus-non-local-food-is-the-kind-of-food-you-eat-more-important-than-where-it-comes-from-9ae0800b4598/   https://www.rd.com/list/things-you-never-knew-about-grocery-store-produce/   https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/24/farmers-markets-vs-supermarkets-cost-differences-health-benefits.html   https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/environment-and-conservation/2022/05/fruits-and-vegetables-are-less-nutritious-than-they-used-to-be#:~:text=Scientists%20say%20that%20the%20root%20of%20the%20problem,which%20reduces%20absorption%20of%20nutrients%20from%20the%20soil.   https://www.forbes.com/sites/nadiaarumugam/2012/01/06/what-happens-to-old-and-expired-supermarket-foods/?sh=105451ca3616  Maximizing the Nutritional Value of Fruits and Vegetables (ucdavis.edu)   Why Nutrients Are Lost in Cut Fruits and Vegetables  (verywellfit.com)

Grocery Store “Fresh” Produce | Fatal Conveniences™

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.      What we discuss:    06:36: Doug’s involvement in Down To Earth  08:36: How did Doug end up at Visa?  14:28: What is Doug most excited about?  18:15: How does sustainability fit into Visa’s efforts?  31:30: What green credit cards does Visa associate with?  35:54: What is the Green Bond framework?  40:34: How important is corporate accountability?  54:09: Where is the next sustainability opportunity?  57:32: What kind of collaboration is happening among industries and brands for sustainability?      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.      Find more from Visa:    Website:  https://usa.visa.com/about-visa/esg.html  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/visa_us/    Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/      More links:    Shop Methodology at  https://www.gomethodology.com/  and use the code DARIN at checkout.     Learn more about The Dirt Locker® by visiting  www.dirtlocker.com     Shop  Bite  and use code DARIN20 to save 20% on your Bite subscription:  https://trybite.com/darin    LIMITED OFFER: Switch up to US Bank Altitude CONNECT Visa Signature card to earn 4X points on travel, and at gas stations and EV charging stations, and 2X points at grocery stores, dining, and streaming services.

How Corporations Can Help Promote Sustainable Consumption | Douglas Sabo, Chief Sustainability Officer at Visa

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™.       What we discuss:    06:43: What are the dangers of antibiotic resistance?  08:07: How are these animals treated?  10:19: How is this a public health issue?  14:21: What can you do about it?      Reliable sources where you can learn more:      A Review of Antibiotic Use in Food Animals: Perspective, Policy, and Potential:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3234384/   Food Animals and Antimicrobials: Impacts on Human Health:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3194830/   Use of antimicrobials in food animals and impact of transmission of antimicrobial resistance on humans:   https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590053620301099   Comparison of different approaches to antibiotic restriction in food-producing animals: stratified results from a systematic review and meta-analysis:  https://gh.bmj.com/content/4/4/e001710.abstract   Use of antibiotics in animal production and its impact on human health:   https://foodchemistryjournal.com/jfcn/articles/v6n1/jfcn-082-naila-a-oliveira.pdf        Thank you to our sponsors:    Order my Fatal Conveniences book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/    Shop  Therasage  and use code DARIN to save 15% on your purchase:  https://therasage.com/pages/shop      Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/

Antibiotics in Meat | Fatal Conveniences™

Danielle LaPorte

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.       What we discuss:    02:01: Why does Danielle approach goal setting the way she does?  04:51: Is loving a feeling?  07:51: What is forgiveness?  20:02: Is karma a weapon?  23:54:What is powerfully you?  27:13: Are relationships really about love?  30:53: How do you know your boundaries are crossed?  43:51: Are we programmed by society?  45:24: Why you can’t lead from your wound  47:49: What can you do right now?      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. But the reality is that we aren’t to be told who we are - we are to look within and find out for ourselves who we are.       Find more from Danielle:    Website:  https://daniellelaporte.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/daniellelaporte/      Find more from Darin:    Website:  https://darinolien.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/  Book:  https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/  Down to Earth:  https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/      More links:    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  https://truth360pro.com/collections/frontpage?ba=c-darin-olien
