Darin Olien: How to Deal With Overwhelm of Info About Toxins, Forming Healthy Habits, Do Genes Determine Our Fate?, Promoting Kindess
Description
In this episode, I sit down with Darin Olien, renowned health expert, author, and co-host of Netflix's Down to Earth, to discuss his journey in wellness, sustainability, and superfoods. The conversation kicks off with how I met Darin at Expo West, where I was introduced to the superfood Barukas nuts, known for their low-water footprint, high antioxidant content, and virtually no heavy metals. Darin shares the incredible backstory behind his discovery of Barukas and how they’re revolutionizing health and sustainability.
We dive deep into Darin's perspective on staying hopeful amidst overwhelming health challenges like hidden toxins in everyday products and new pesticides in our food. We explore how people can protect themselves from these unseen dangers, even when harmful substances aren’t listed on product labels.
We also discuss what it takes to make lasting health changes, how to overcome the comfort of bad habits, and why some of us need to hit rock bottom before real transformation begins. Darin opens up about the principles he’s reevaluated over the years and reflects on staying true to his values in an era where influencers are often tempted by financial incentives over integrity.
The conversation touches on practical advice for those living in food deserts, the real impact of genetics on our health, and why humans seem to have lost their instinctive understanding of what to eat, unlike wild animals. Lastly, as fellow introverts, Darin and I reflect on the challenges of maintaining energy and empathy in a world filled with online negativity.
Tune in for an inspiring and thought-provoking episode that will leave you rethinking the way you approach health, sustainability, and personal growth.
