Hunting for Health with Darin Olien
Darin Olien is an exotic superfood expert, supplement formulator, and environmental activist as well as an avid superfood hunter. The founder and visionary of SuperLife, Darin seeks to help individuals live richer, healthier, and more vibrant lives by making simple changes and implementing powerful habits in their daily life. He brings in the six life forces—nutrition, hydration, oxygenation, alkalization, detoxification, and attitude—and encourages responsibility and awareness in all aspects of being. With the right resources, Darin believes anyone can live the greatest expression of their life.
I join Darin at his temporary house in Malibu for a chat about his life after the Malibu fires and how he’s using the catastrophe of his house burning down as an opportunity to create a more sustainable lifestyle. We also discuss the destructive effects of technology and what we can do to mitigate their effects on our well-being. Darin shares a wealth of knowledge about water and its science-transcending ability to carry information, in addition to why cultivated foods don’t boast the same nutritional profile as their wild counterparts. With so much chaos in the news and in our spheres of influence these days, it’s easy to panic and become discouraged—but Darin offers a message of hope that’s applicable to everyone, regardless of where you are in this moment: Storms bring regeneration.
