I’m excited to welcome Darin Olien back to the podcast. Darin is a superpower in the superfoods space, having spent nearly 20 years exploring the planet to discover exotic foods and medicinal plants. He is the author of the new book, Fatal Inconveniences, and the co-host of the Emmy Award Winning Netflix docu-series, Down To Earth with Zac Efron.
Darin is also the founder of Barukas nutrient-dense nuts (visit barukas.com/luke and use code LUKE for 10% off ). He also co-created 121 Tribe transformational online camps (visit 121tribe.com and use code CAMPER for a three-day free trial).
In this episode, we dig into the dangerous chemicals we are all exposed to every single day – in the clothes we wear, the water we drink, the tools we cook with, the fragrances, shampoos, and detergents we use, and so much more. We always talk about the biohacks we can add to improve our lives.
But we first have to rid ourselves of toxins that are making us sick and diminishing our vitality. Darin breaks down all the hidden chemicals you may not know you’re exposed to; even I was surprised by some of them! We talk about how you can make small, incremental shifts today to set yourself up for a healthier tomorrow and explore how to be vigilant about toxins without becoming overwhelmed and paranoid.
We also chat about Darin’s personal healing journey, how his hit Netflix documentary got made, following our intuition in our podcasting journeys, and our experiences with ayahuasca. Let’s get into the dirty details of how we can clean up our health.
