The Darin Olien Show Darin Olien

Are we really safe in our own home?
 
Join me in this special solo episode of The Darin Olien Show, as I explore the critical topic of indoor air quality and its profound impact on our health, productivity, and longevity. Indoor air pollution is a hidden danger in our modern living conditions, filled with volatile organic compounds from building materials, cleaning products, and everyday household items. With alarming statistics from the World Health Organization linking poor indoor air quality to 3.8 million deaths annually, it's clear we need to be more aware of the pollutants in our homes. 
 
From molds and pet dander to chemical off-gassing from furniture and paints, we'll uncover the various sources of indoor air pollution and their adverse effects on our health, including respiratory diseases and exacerbated chronic conditions.
 
Tune in as I discuss actionable steps to improve the air quality in your living spaces and take control of your indoor environment for a healthier life.
 
Are you ready to improve your indoor air quality, elevate your health, embrace joy, and create a better environment, starting from your own home?

Are you curious about the secrets of longevity?
 
Ready to explore the mysteries of health and well-being? We're excited to present the latest episode that embarks on an intriguing journey from the depths of the ocean to the fascinating world of essential fats.
 
Our latest episode features Stephanie Venn-Watson, a veteran Veterinary Epidemiologist with an unexpected fear of water, which makes their career path, including major contributions to our understanding of essential fats and dolphin longevity, all the more astonishing.
 
From swimming lesson standoffs to pivotal epidemiological studies, she shares her transformation from aquaphobic to aquatic expert, diving into the metabolic mysteries behind the Navy's healthiest dolphins and the discovery of odd-chain saturated fats like C15 as a key to longevity and disease prevention.
 
Venture beneath the surface with us as we navigate the murky waters of environmental toxins and their impact on marine and human health. The narrative is rich with details of the monumental shift in understanding, the untapped potential of these fats, and the imperative of sustaining our ecosystem for the health of all species.
 
Stephanie  Venn-Watson served as an epidemiologist tracking diseases for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization. She co-founded the National Marine Mammal Foundation and is a recipient of the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary’s Award for Innovations in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention.

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

Feeling lonely or disconnected lately? 
 
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. You don’t want to miss it, so tune in now!

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.
