  • The Secret to Joy Isn’t What You Think

    The Secret to Joy Isn’t What You Think

    · SuperLife with Darin Olien

    What if happiness isn’t something you chase—but something you tune into? In this powerful solo episode, Darin Olien strips away the distractions of modern life to explore the real source of clarity, peace, purpose, and joy. With a raw and contemplative flow, Darin shares his hard-won truths about why success didn’t fulfill him, how pain can become sacred, and why tuning inward is the path to your Super Life. This is more than a motivational pep talk—it’s a deep call to remember who you really are.

    Redefining Happiness

    Let’s start here.
    Happiness. We’re sold this idea that it’s a destination. That if we just get the right body, the right job, the right relationship — boom — happiness will magically arrive.

    But the truth I’ve discovered over and over is this:
    Happiness isn’t an emotion. It’s a frequency.

    It’s coherence between what you feel, what you do, and who you are.

    When your internal world matches your external actions — that’s happiness.
    When your soul and your choices are in agreement — that’s freedom.

    Purpose Isn’t What You Do — It’s Who You Are

    I used to think purpose was this big thing I had to accomplish — something out there on the horizon.
    But now, I know better.

    Purpose isn’t just what you do. It’s how you be.
    It’s the energy you bring into the room. It’s the way you treat people. It’s how you respond when no one’s watching.

    The SuperLife isn’t about chasing. It’s about tuning in.

    When you’re aligned with your soul — you don’t need to prove anything. You just live it.

    Perspective: From Victim to Creator

    Here’s a shift that changed everything for me:
    We are not victims of this life.
    We are creators of it.

    The moment we stop outsourcing our joy — waiting for the world to “make us happy” — we begin to reclaim our power.

    Fear? Becomes fuel.
    Struggle? Becomes the sculptor.

    Your life becomes a canvas — and you become the artist.

    The Keys to Living Your SuperLife

    So how do you actually live a SuperLife — from the inside out?

    1. Radical Self-Honesty

    See yourself clearly — no filters, no bullshit. Get real about what’s working
 and what’s not.

    2. Daily Devotion

    Not grand gestures. Small, consistent choices. The micro becomes the macro. That’s the game.

    3. Community & Reflection

    Who’s in your orbit? Do they mirror your greatness — or your fear? We rise together or we shrink alone.

    4. Clear Energy Inputs

    Your life is a result of what you consume — not just food, but thoughts, media, environments, people.

    5. Soul Dialogue

    Build an inner life richer than your outer one. That’s where the guidance lives. That’s where your real self is.

    The Meaning of Life — and the Illusion of Seeking It Outside

    You know, I used to ask myself:
    What’s the meaning of life? Why am I here?

    I thought maybe I’d find it on a mountaintop, or through success, or in someone else’s approval.

    But here’s what I know now:
    Life doesn’t give us meaning.
    We give life meaning.

    Meaning is something we create by how we live, how we love, how we grow, how we serve.

    The trap? Thinking the answer is somewhere “out there.”

    But chasing the external world is like drinking salt water. It looks like it’ll quench your thirst
 but it just leaves you emptier.

    Life Reflects You — Always

    And yet — here’s the twist:
    The external world is meaningful.

    Not because it defines you
 but because it reflects you.

    Your relationships, your challenges, even your pain — these are invitations.
    Mirrors.

    Life is always showing you where you’re aligned
 and where you’re not.

    Not as punishment — but as clarity.

    Pain as a Propeller

    I’ve felt pain — heartbreak, betrayal, confusion, exhaustion. I’ve stared in the mirror and wondered, What the hell am I doing?

    But I’ve come to see pain differently.

    Pain is sacred. It’s a teacher.

    It strips away what’s false. It shows you what matters.
    And if you’re willing to feel it — it becomes a propeller.

    It pushes you to course-correct.
    To get honest.
    To get free.

    Course-Correcting with Courage

    You are allowed to change your mind.
    You are allowed to choose again.

    You are allowed to leave the path that’s killing your spirit — and walk toward the one that makes you come alive.

    That’s what living a SuperLife really means.

    It’s not perfect.
    It’s not always easy.

    But it’s real.
    It’s yours.
    And it’s waiting for you.

    Closing Reflection: Ask Your Soul

    If you’re confused right now
 if you’re overwhelmed or numb

    Just stop.

    Get still.

    Ask your soul:
    What’s true for me? What makes me come alive?

    Don’t ask what’s trending.
    Don’t ask what will impress the world.

    Ask what feels aligned. Ask what lights you up.

    That’s where your SuperLife begins.

  • Car Air Fresheners Are a Lie. Here’s What You’re Really Inhaling

    Car Air Fresheners Are a Lie. Here’s What You’re Really Inhaling

    · SuperLife with Darin Olien

    What if the air freshener in your car was more dangerous than the pollution outside?

    In this explosive episode, Darin reveals what’s really inside those “harmless” little trees hanging from car mirrors—and why they could be silently damaging your health. Backed by real science and peer-reviewed studies, Darin uncovers the shocking truth about volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the health effects on the brain and lungs, and the corporations that won’t label them. You’ll also learn how to detox your air, reclaim your health, and even start a grassroots movement to get a fragrance-free option in ride shares like Uber and Lyft.

    Studies:

    There’s this study called “Volatile Chemical Emissions from Car Air Fresheners”—and wow. Researchers analyzed 12 popular car fresheners—those trees, clips, sprays, gels—you name it. Here’s what they found: 546 volatile organic compounds. That’s VOCs. Out of those, 30 were considered potentially hazardous—things like formaldehyde, benzene, and other stuff you definitely don’t want marinating your brain. And you know what’s wild?‹Not a single one of those hazardous chemicals was listed on the label.‹(Steinemann et al., 2020)

    There’s a study called “Fragranced Consumer Products: Effects on Asthmatics”—and it found that over 64% of people with asthma reported real symptoms from these scented products: wheezing, headaches, even full-on asthma attacks. And 41% said air fresheners were the trigger (Steinemann, 2017).

    Another one? “Migraine Headaches and Fragranced Consumer Products.” Nearly half of the people who get migraines said air fresheners specifically set them off (Steinemann & Nematollahi, 2020).

    And if you’re neurodivergent—like folks with autism? This next one breaks my heart.‹In the study “Fragranced Consumer Products: Effects on Autistic Adults,” 83.7% of autistic individuals said fragranced products triggered serious neurological and respiratory problems—and 63% said air fresheners were one of the worst offenders (Steinemann, 2018).

    In a study out of Nigeria, researchers exposed mice to a solid commercial air freshener. After a few weeks, the mice showed increased anxiety, depression-like behavior, memory loss, and signs of oxidative stress in the brain. Their brains were literally under chemical assault.‹The study's called “Neurobehavioral Effects of Prolonged Exposure to Solid Air Freshener in Mice.” Check it out—it’s eye-opening (Umukoro et al., 2019).

    Sorry to tell you
 greenwashed products aren’t any better. In the same 2020 study I mentioned earlier, researchers tested “natural” versions too—and found no meaningful difference in the chemicals they released (Steinemann et al., 2020).

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    00:00 – Introduction: The truth about air fresheners

    00:44 – Why Darin refuses to use ride shares with scent trees

    01:50 – The hidden study on VOCs in popular car air fresheners

    07:10 – Mice studies: anxiety, memory loss, oxidative stress

    08:40 – Ubers, Lyfts, and chronic chemical exposure

    09:15 – “Greenwashed” products are just as toxic

  • Home Poisons: Why Your Furniture, Cookware, and Carpet Might Be Making You Sick

    Home Poisons: Why Your Furniture, Cookware, and Carpet Might Be Making You Sick

    · SuperLife with Darin Olien

    Your house should be your safe space. But what if it’s the source of your symptoms?

    In this solo episode of Super Life, Darin Olien uncovers the hidden poisons lurking inside your home—from cookware and furniture to cleaning products and carpets. Darin breaks down the scientific research behind common toxins like PFAS, phthalates, formaldehyde, and flame retardants, and shows you how these “fatal conveniences” may be silently disrupting your hormones, damaging your gut, and weakening your immune system.

    You’ll walk away from this episode with practical, easy-to-implement solutions that will help you detox your environment and build a home that supports vitality, longevity, and true wellness.

    1. Formaldehyde in Your Home: The Silent Threat

    Formaldehyde is a common indoor air pollutant found in engineered wood products, cabinetry, moldings, countertops, and furniture. It is classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization and has been linked to respiratory issues, asthma, and even leukemia (Zhang et al., 2020).

    How to Reduce Formaldehyde Exposure:

    Opt for solid wood furniture instead of pressed wood.

    Use low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and finishes.

    Keep your home well-ventilated with HEPA air purifiers.

    2. The Hidden Dangers of PFAS (Forever Chemicals)

    PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are found in non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, waterproof clothing, and even drinking water. Studies show these chemicals accumulate in the body and are linked to cancer, hormonal imbalances, immune system suppression, and reproductive toxicity (DeWitt et al., 2019).

    How to Reduce PFAS Exposure:

    Switch to cast iron or stainless steel cookware.

    Avoid stain-resistant treatments on carpets and furniture.

    Use water filters certified to remove PFAS.

    3. Plastics: More Than Just an Environmental Issue

    Plastics release harmful chemicals like BPA (bisphenol A) and phthalates, which disrupt the endocrine system, leading to infertility, metabolic disorders, and even neurological issues (Talsness et al., 2009).

     How to Reduce Plastic Exposure:

    Use glass or stainless steel containers.

    Avoid microwaving food in plastic.

    Choose BPA-free household products.

    4. Carpets: A Reservoir of Toxins and Allergens

    Carpets harbor SVOCs (semi-volatile organic compounds), flame retardants, and pesticides, making them a major source of indoor air pollution and allergens. Children and pets are particularly vulnerable (Cao et al., 2017).

    How to Reduce Carpet-Related Risks:

    Choose natural fiber rugs like wool or cotton.

    Regularly clean with a HEPA vacuum.

    Use non-toxic carpet cleaners.

    5. Fragrances: The Airborne Toxins in Your Home

    Synthetic fragrances found in air fresheners, candles, cleaning products, and perfumes contain phthalates and VOCs that are linked to respiratory issues, migraines, and hormone disruption (Steinemann, 2018).

     How to Detox Your Home’s Air:

    Use essential oil diffusers instead of synthetic air fresheners.

    Choose fragrance-free cleaning products.

    Improve indoor air quality with houseplants like peace lilies and spider plants.

    SuperLife Home Detox: Steps to Create a Healthy Living Space

    Switch to Non-Toxic Cleaning Products – Avoid harsh chemicals; opt for vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils.

     Improve Ventilation – Open windows daily and use HEPA air filters.

    Filter Your Water – Invest in a high-quality water filtration system to remove PFAS, chlorine, and heavy metals.

    Avoid Toxic Furniture and Decor – Choose organic bedding, non-toxic paint, and untreated wood furniture.

    Ditch the Plastics – Use glass, stainless steel, or silicone alternatives for food storage and cookware.

    Go Green with Personal Care Products – Check labels for parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances.

    Conclusion

    The reality is, our homes can be filled with hidden toxins that impact our health in ways we don’t even realize. But the good news? We have the power to change that.

    By making small, intentional choices—like choosing cleaner products, improving ventilation, and ditching harmful plastics—you can create a SuperLife-approved home that truly supports your well-being.

  • The Truth About Oxalates: Is Your Diet Hurting Your Kidneys and Gut Health?

    The Truth About Oxalates: Is Your Diet Hurting Your Kidneys and Gut Health?

    · SuperLife with Darin Olien

    Are oxalates actually harming your health, or is this another nutrition myth?

    In this episode of Super Life, Darin Olien breaks down the real science behind oxalates, their connection to kidney stones, mineral absorption, and gut health, and whether you really need to avoid high-oxalate foods.

    There’s a lot of fear-mongering around oxalates, but what does the latest research say? Should you stop eating spinach, beets, or almonds? What about meat’s impact on kidney function? Darin pulls from peer-reviewed studies to cut through the noise and give you the facts so you can make the best choices for your health.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether oxalates are a real concern or just clickbait, this episode is a must-listen.

    Segment 1: What Are Oxalates? Friend or Foe?

    Oxalates, or oxalic acid, are naturally occurring compounds found in many plant-based foods. They serve as a defense mechanism for plants but can sometimes bind with minerals like calcium and iron in the body, potentially forming kidney stones or reducing nutrient absorption.

    Here’s the key question: Are oxalates dangerous, or is this another health myth blown out of proportion?

    Here’s what the research says:

    For most people, oxalates are NOT a problem. Your body naturally processes and eliminates excess oxalates through urine.

    For those prone to kidney stones, particularly calcium oxalate stones (which make up about 80% of all kidney stones), consuming too many high-oxalate foods can increase the risk.

    Oxalates can interfere with calcium and iron absorption, but this is only a concern for people with nutrient deficiencies.

    Key takeaway: If your kidneys are healthy, your body handles oxalates just fine. But if you’ve had kidney stones before, you might want to pay closer attention to your oxalate intake.

    Segment 2: What Does the Science Say About Oxalates?

    To cut through the noise, I pulled up the latest research from 2024 and 2025. Here’s what’s new:

    1. Gut Microbiota Can Help Protect Against Oxalates

    A  2025 study in Frontiers in Nutrition found that certain gut bacteria (like Oxalobacter formigenes) actually digest oxalates, helping prevent kidney stones.

    Takeaway: If you’re worried about oxalates, supporting your gut microbiome with probiotics might be a natural way to reduce their impact.

    Link: Read Study Here

    "The presence of oxalate-degrading bacteria in the gut can significantly lower oxalate absorption and reduce kidney stone risk." – Dr. L. Wang, NHANES Study

    2. Vitamin C Supplements & Oxalate Formation

    Some people worry that high-dose vitamin C supplements convert into oxalates, increasing kidney stone risk.

    A 2025 study in Nutrients found no significant increase in urinary oxalates from vitamin C intake.

    Takeaway: If you take vitamin C in moderation, you don’t have to worry about it increasing oxalates.

    Link: Read Study Here

    "Contrary to popular belief, moderate vitamin C supplementation does not significantly raise oxalate levels in urine." – Dr. P.C. Calder, Nutrients Journal

    3. Cooking & Fermentation Can Reduce Oxalates

    A 2024 study on fermentation & nutrient bioavailability found that cooking reduces oxalate levels by up to 60%.

    Best methods? Boiling, steaming, and fermentation lower oxalates significantly.

    Takeaway: If you love spinach but worry about oxalates, just boil it first!

    Link: Read Study Here

    Segment 3: What About Meat? Does It Increase Kidney Stone Risk?

    Now, here’s something you might not expect. We talk a lot about oxalates and plant-based foods, but what about meat?

    Could eating too much meat actually contribute to kidney stones? The research says YES—but not because of oxalates. Instead, the mechanism is uric acid and metabolic acidity. Let’s break it down.

    1. Red Meat & Uric Acid Stones

    A 2024 study in Nature Reviews Urology found that high animal protein intake increases uric acid, which contributes to kidney stones.

    Excess meat consumption makes urine more acidic, making it easier for stones to form.

    Link: Read Study Here


    "High animal protein intake, while providing essential amino acids, also contributes to increased acid load and uric acid production, both of which are risk factors for kidney stone development." – Dr. S. Loeb, Nature Reviews Urology

    2. Meat Increases Metabolic Acidity

    A 2025 study from Frontiers in Endocrinology found that excessive meat consumption leads to increased acid load, calcium loss, and kidney dysfunction.

    This makes it harder for the kidneys to filter out waste properly.

    Link: Read Study Here


    "While meat consumption is essential for many, excessive intake can disrupt mineral ion homeostasis, increasing the risk of kidney stone disease." – Dr. R. Ahmad, Frontiers in Endocrinology

    Segment 4: Foods High & Low in Oxalates

    Knowing which foods to eat or limit is key.

    High-Oxalate Foods (If You’re at Risk)

    Spinach, Swiss chard, beet greens

    Beets, rhubarb, sweet potatoes

    Almonds, peanuts, cashews

    Blackberries, kiwi, figs

    Black tea, cocoa, coffee

     Low-Oxalate Foods (Safer Choices)

    Kale, mustard greens, cabbage

    Cauliflower, cucumbers, zucchini

    Apples, bananas, melons, grapes

    Milk, yogurt (binds with oxalates)

    Eggs, fish, chicken, beef (in moderation)

    Segment 5: Actionable Steps to Manage Oxalate & Meat Intake

    If you’re concerned about oxalates or meat-related kidney stones, here’s what to do:

    Balance Oxalates with Calcium

    Eat calcium-rich foods with oxalates to prevent them from forming stones.

    Cook Your Vegetables

    Boiling, steaming, and fermenting reduce oxalates by up to 60%!

    Drink Plenty of Water

    Staying hydrated flushes out excess oxalates & uric acid.

    Don’t Overdo Meat Consumption

    Limit red meat intake and balance with alkaline foods like vegetables & fruit.

    Probiotics for Gut Health

    Consider probiotic-rich foods like yogurt and kimchi to help break down oxalates.
