  • Did you know that the simple act of breathing can have a profound impact on your mental and physical well-being? Most of us take around 22,000 breaths per day without even realizing it, but what if we could harness the power of our breath to improve our health?

    In my latest solo episode of The Darren Olien Show, I dive deep into the science and benefits of intentional breathwork. By consciously slowing down our breathing and engaging in specific breathing practices, we can accomplish several health benefits, like reducing stress and anxiety. Whether it's through diaphragmatic breathing, pranayama, or the Wim Hof method, incorporating just 5-20 minutes of breathwork into your daily routine can have significant positive effects.

    If you're interested in learning more about this powerful tool for wellness, I highly encourage you to listen to this informative podcast episode. My insights and expertise will inspire you to start breathwork of your own for a healthier, happier life.

  • Life is a journey of continuous growth, where experiences serve as feedback to nourish our spiritual evolution. Amidst emotional, physical, or spiritual pain lies the opportunity for inspiration, breakthrough, and transformation.

    In these moments, we should look for the lessons hidden within the challenges rather than becoming victims of our pain. Learning from our pain requires a radical shift in perspective and action. This is the key to overcoming fear, activating our dreams, and translating inspiration into tangible pursuits.

    In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Mike Posner as he shares his transformative journey of turning pain into purpose. Mike's pivotal moment came from a series of devastating losses, including the passing of his father and friends. Despite achieving material success, an underlying sense of sadness lingered, compelling him to seek a more fulfilling path. Exhausted by the cycle of passive inspiration without action and recognizing the need to break free from comfort and approval-seeking, Mike took a radical shift. He embarked on a soul-searching journey: a solo trek across America.

    In our discussion, Mike shares insights from his quest for self-inspiration, shedding light on his decision to pivot and embrace discomfort as a catalyst for personal growth, inspiration, and genuine connection. He also provides practical advice for listeners to live a purposeful, present, and happy life.

    Mike is a singer and producer, and despite his success, he embarked on a transformative journey, setting aside the comforts of fame to trek across America. He walked solo from Asbury Park, New Jersey, to Venice Beach, California, covering 2,851 miles. Along the way, he faced challenges, including a rattlesnake bite that led to an emergency helicopter ride to a Colorado ICU. Rejecting hero status, Mike aimed to inspire others by embracing discomfort and building resilience. Known for hits like "Cooler Than Me" and "I Took a Pill in Ibiza," his journey symbolizes personal growth and transformation.

    What we discuss


    (00:00) How being around good energy helps you show up differently

    (04:30) Relationships and how they are inspiring Mike's life and craft

    (12:07) Shifting pain to purpose: activating your dream, showing up, and going for it.

    (18:02) Creating a future that makes the present bearable and exciting

    (20:09) The vision that inspired Mike to walk across the United States

    (23:11) Overcoming the chasm that keeps us from living a genuinely happy life

    (32:10) Three distractions pulling us away from living from an inspired action path

    (42:16) How to overcome resistance and be unstoppable when hit by adversity

    (49:29) What Mike is excited about and is creating right now

    I go rogue in my latest solo episode because I want to discuss rediscovering the importance of connection. I share my recent experience on a pilgrimage to the north of England, where I connected with a group of around 40 people, all with the intention of being open and becoming better versions of themselves. After this experience, I quickly realized the importance of social bonding and connection so I discuss how it can have a profound impact on our overall health and well-being in today’s episode.

  • Could your plate of greens be the secret to shedding those stubborn pounds?

    In today’s episode on the Darin Olien Show, I talk with Dr. Neal Barnard about the science behind the weight loss wonders of a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. From a landmark 2005 study providing a fresh perspective on appetite control to metabolism-boosting recipes, we're unveiling a world where counting calories becomes obsolete, and where foods like cinnamon and blueberries earn the title of 'power foods.'

    This conversation stands as a testament to the might of plant-based proteins and the truths about soy in men's health. We tackle the misunderstandings head-on, debunking fears with evidence that highlights soy's cancer-fighting properties and the real effects of dairy on our hormonal balance. Our conversation may just be the catalyst you need to re-evaluate your protein sources and embrace the multitude of benefits that come from plants.

    Dr. Barnard has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, hormonal symptoms, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes. Dr. Barnard has authored more than 100 scientific publications and 20 books for medical and lay readers, and is the editor in chief of the Nutrition Guide for Clinicians.

    What I discuss:

    (00:06) Power Foods Diet and Weight Loss

    (04:23) Plant-Based Diet for Weight Loss

    (17:21) The Power of Plant-Based Foods

    (20:55) Power Foods and Weight Loss Benefits

  • We’re outnumbered, folks! The estimated number of insects to humans is 200 million to one. This is a battle we will most definitely lose. Yet, we try in vain. In this hive of insect activity, repellents can help you steer clear of nasty stings and bites. But is our reliance on bug sprays harming our health?

    Mosquitos are a pest!

    Every year, a third of us will cover ourselves with almost five pounds of bug repellent to keep those blood-thirsty bugs at bay. Okay, so there is a good reason to do so. After all, there are many mosquito and tick-transmitted diseases to ward off: West Nile virus, malaria, and Lyme Disease, to name a couple. So, I’m not here to tell you that protecting yourself from bites isn’t important. But, if the repellent you’re using can fend off mosquitoes, maybe what it’s doing to you isn’t so great either.

    In this Fatal Conveniencesℱ, I break down the most common toxic chemicals lurking in insect repellents, such as DEET (N, N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide), the granddaddy of them all. I also explain how these repellents affect children and the simple things you can do today to keep insects away without sacrificing your health.

    Bugs, insects, insects, Insecta, or insectum—whatever you call our hexapod invertebrates, these creepy critters are vital for our ecosystems. So, finding non-harmful, preventative alternatives is crucial for the survival of not only us as a species but also this incredible planet that we live on.

  • You may feel that you get more oxygen when you breathe in through your mouth, but the science shows, it’s just not true.

    In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Patrick McKeown from Oxygen Advantage, to discuss the fascinating connections between nose breathing, facial aesthetics, and overall health. We begin by discussing how choosing a good-looking face is related to proper breathing and delve into the problems associated with mouth breathing. Our conversation goes over the high-level functions of the nose and the importance of conscious deep breathing, including when and why to do it.

    We introduce the concept of hyperoxygenation and the BOLT (body oxygen level test) and explore various ways to improve oxygen saturation. We also discuss the consequences of not breathing properly and what you might be missing out on.

    Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of proper breathing techniques and their impact on various aspects of our lives, from physical health and appearance to mental well-being and success.

    Patrick McKeown grew up with debilitating asthma. In 1998, he found an article in an Irish newspaper about the Buteyko breathing method. He tried the exercise to unblock his nose and was struck by how well it worked. Since then, he has become a leading expert on breathing and an advocate for its health benefits.

    What we discuss


    4:00 Choosing a good looking face due to breathing

    9:00 The problem of mouth breathing

    13:06 High level functions of the nose

    25:30 Conscious deep breathing- when and why to do it

  • Do you blindly assume that big brand companies have your back when it comes to testing the safety of their products? You shouldn't. Your health depends on it.

    In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Leah Segedie from Mamavation, as we take a skeptical look at major companies, even those marketing themselves as clean and organic. We answer questions about whether they are truly prioritizing consumer well-being. Leah argues that profit motive often takes precedence over proper safety testing and responsible practices.

    We discuss greenwashing and deceptive "natural" claims that are misleading marketing tactics to prey on consumer trust. We go over the fact that companies need to be more transparent and held accountable for creating safe products, putting people before profits.

    Overall, we urge listeners to think critically, dig deeper when evaluating "organic" claims, and use their purchasing power to support companies that are honest and responsible. We advocate for consumers to take charge of their health by demanding better from brands

    Leah Segedie helps women make safer consumer choices for their families. She’s a consumer watchdog, author, activist, community organizer, & strategist. Leah founded award-winning consumer activist website Mamavation.com and the leading eco-friendly influencer conference, ShiftCon Social Media Conference. She also wrote Green Enough: Eat Better, Live Cleaner, Be Happier (All Without Driving Your Family Crazy!) to democratize scientific findings and help families make safer & greener product choices.

    What we discuss


    Leah’s start in safer choices due to family

    You can’t assume products are safe

    Some manufacturers are just naive

    Surprising places you’ll find toxic materials

    The only way to change is for the entire industry to come together

    Sperm health is down 50% in virility because of phthalates

  • Did you know that a healthy anti-inflammatory diet can benefit various organs throughout your body? From your heart and lungs to your brain, the right nutrition can slow down the aging process and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

    In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with the author of How Not To Die and How Not To Age, Michael Greger. We discuss this nation’s major inflammation and age related disease issues and how they come from an ultra processed food diet. We go over how to boost our body’s natural cellular recycling process with simple lifestyle changes.

    In our discussion, we emphasize the importance of evidence based research and how companies and consumers should make some modern day lifestyle changes. With simple changes, we could drastically reduce age related diseases. Our conversation dives into misconceptions with aging as well as the healing power of natural foods.

    Michael Greger, M.D., is a physician and internationally recognized speaker on nutrition. His science-based nonprofit, NutritionFacts.org, offers a free online portal hosting more than 2,000 videos and articles on myriad health topics. Dr. Greger is a sought-after lecturer and has presented at the Conference on World Affairs and the World Bank, testified before Congress, and was invited as an expert witness in Oprah Winfrey’s defense in the infamous “meat defamation” trial. A graduate of Cornell University School of Agriculture and Tufts University School of Medicine, Dr. Greger is also an acclaimed author. How Not to Die, The How Not to Die Cookbook, How Not to Diet, and How Not to Age became instant New York Times Best Sellers. More than a million copies of How Not to Die have been sold. All proceeds Dr. Greger receives from the sales of his books and speaking honoraria are donated directly to charity.

  • Understanding how our daily moves impact the environment - that's where the real power lies. From the products we bring into our lives to how we choose to get around, every single choice we make has a direct effect on our planet.

    Dialing in to make more conscious decisions, whether that's cutting way back on waste, conserving precious energy, or actively supporting eco-revolutionaries making positive waves - that's how we each unleash our power to contribute to environmental health in a major way.

    In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Graham Hill as he shares insights and expertise on environmental sustainability. From his experiences founding Treehugger to his current role as CEO of LifeEdited, Graham offers valuable lessons on how we can make a meaningful impact through simple yet impactful actions toward a greener and more sustainable future.

    The big issues can feel heavy, no doubt about it. But we can flip the script by first mastering the controllables right where we're planted - upgrading our habits and routines at home base.

    Graham is an entrepreneur and advocate for sustainable living and conscious consumerism. He founded Treehugger, a platform teaching simple ways to care for the environment. As CEO of LifeEdited, he designs space-efficient buildings, products, and lifestyles that use fewer resources. Graham's ventures range from an early web browser to a ceramic take on the iconic New York coffee cup. His TED talks on weekday vegetarianism and prioritizing "less stuff, more happiness" showcase his mission to inspire positive change.

  • When you’re done using a product and throw it in the trash or recycling - do you think about what happens to it?

    Aluminum - this lightweight metal is embedded in countless products, from soda cans to jets. But even with aluminum's recyclability, inefficient practices mean we keep producing new aluminum instead of reusing what we've already produced. It's a vicious cycle.

    In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Dr. Saleem Ali, Professor of Energy and the Environment, to provide an insightful examination of aluminum, highlighting its omnipresence in our lives and the complex relationship humanity has with this abundant metal. We examine the pros and cons of aluminum use, from its critical role in various industries to its alarming presence in our bodies, and consider the environmental implications of its widespread application and the need for improved recycling practices and alternative materials.

    Dr. Ali also shares his insights on how science and environmental concerns are often overshadowed by politics and the concept of circularity, inspired by Barry Commoner's ecological laws, and how thinking in circles can apply to both personal consumption and business models.

    Dr. Saleem Ali is is the Blue & Gold Distinguished Professor of Energy and the Environment at the University of Delaware, UN International Resource Panelist, National Geographic Explorer, and author exploring sustainable resource use through books like "Earthly Order” and his new book “Soil to Foil: Aluminum and the Quest for Industrial Sustainability”.

    What we discuss


    (06:19) The truth about aluminum and sustainable use practices

    (12:51) Transportation and sustainability in modern society

    (24:51) Scientific cooperation in international relations and navigating crisis together

    (44:07) Empowering sustainable lifestyle choices in a world of conveniences

    (49:35) Nuclear energy and environmental myths

    (54:26) The impacts of the sharing economy on our environment

    (01:05:31) Nonprofit models for public knowledge and finding democratic solutions to challenges

    (01:20:26) Hope for innovation in Africa

  • Detoxing isn't just about flushing toxins - it's a journey of liberation. By purging the body of harmful substances, you're unburdening your mind from the shackles of trauma, anxiety and depression.

    Committing for the long-haul unlocks more than just physical health - it allows you to become deeply connected to your instincts and inner voice in a way you’ve never experienced.

    In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Josh Macin as he shares his harrowing journey through severe mental health struggles, the conventional pharmaceutical treatments that failed him, and his ultimate quest for healing in the Amazon with ayahuasca and other alternative therapies. We discuss the significance of a gut healing protocol, reclaiming your health through intense detoxification methods, and the alarming decline in men's testosterone levels.

    Josh shares his insights into living in integrity and establishing boundaries to avoid external influences, and we provide practical advice for listeners on becoming more self-aware of their health in relation to environmental factors like parasites, heavy metals, and glyphosate exposure.

    Josh Macin is a former Brazilian Jiu Jitsu world champion, battled crippling anxiety and panic attacks for years after 2013. When conventional treatments failed, he experimented with powerful hallucinogens and alternative therapies worldwide in search of relief. Ultimately, heavy metal poisoning was discovered, leading him to detoxification. Now cured, he founded TheDetoxDudes.com to help others overcome toxicity.

    What we discuss


    (00:00) Personal struggles with finding mental health treatment

    (11:43) Healing heavy metal toxicity with detoxification
