The Darin Olien Show

Here’s the truth: If you want to look younger on the outside, you need to become younger on the inside. There is a direct correlation between how healthy your body is internally with how young you look externally – and this is exactly what we dive into in this episode the Darin Olien Show with guest Dr. Anthony Youn.

We dive into the concept of 'autojuvenation,' which refers to the body's natural regenerative abilities, why we should take a holistic health approach that focuses on aiding the body's own renewal processes for youthful vitality, and why we shouldn’t be exclusively relying solely on surgical interventions.

We also emphasize the importance of nutrition in medicine and how a deficiency in nutritional education among medical professionals needs to be addressed. Our discussion also covers the connection between gut health and aging, the significance of dietary choices on skin health and overall vitality, and the difference between chronological and biological age. 

Dr. Anthony Youn is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Award-Winning Author, and Anti-Aging Expert and has a new book that just released: Younger for Life. As a successful plastic surgeon for twenty years who performed tens of thousands of successful cosmetic procedures – he realized that the key to true beauty lies in a holistic approach to youth and surgery should be a last resort.

Making a New Year’s resolution is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, setting goals and setting out to improve yourself and your life is a very positive action to take. However, making unachievable resolutions is just setting you up for stress and disappointment.

Why do we start off the New Year by making resolutions we can’t keep?

Let me start off by saying I’m actually a fan of New Year’s resolutions. Every year, I reevaluate my current goals and set new ones for the year. However, I’m not a fan of unreasonable resolutions that set you up for failure. Or of the social pressure that comes every January 1st. Pressure does not create opportunity. It just creates stress.

On average, Americans make the same resolutions every year: lose weight, work out, eat better, quit smoking, save money and drink less. There’s nothing wrong with any of those resolutions. But I’m curious about the underlying reasons for them.

If you want to lose weight to look good in Instagram pictures or quit smoking so your partner stops bothering you about it- you’re more likely to break that resolution quickly. But if you want to lose weight to feel better about yourself and more content in your life, you may actually succeed! We need to start thinking about the intent behind these resolutions. Why do you want to achieve this goal? 

This episode is not about ragging on anyone who sets a New Year’s resolution. It’s about learning how to make resolutions that help you improve your life. I don’t want your goals to set you on a shame spiral. I want to help you achieve all your goals in a healthy way. We need to dig a little deeper into the “why” before we can get to the “how”.

[00:05:07] The First New Year’s Resolutions

[00:06:54] Ten Most Popular Resolutions

[00:08:15] Why do we make New Year’s Resolutions?

[00:12:25] How to be successful at setting and keeping goals

We are “smartifying” our world but it’s actually not smart for our health – how ironic is that? We are in this fight between how to keep up with the modern world filled with EMF’s and how to protect ourselves and our health. 

This is what we dive into in this episode of the Darin Olien Show with guest Justin Frandson. 

We are “smartifying” our world but it’s actually not smart for our health – how ironic is that? We are in this fight between how to keep up with the modern world filled with EMF’s and how to protect ourselves and our health. 

This is what we dive into in this episode of the Darin Olien Show with guest Justin Frandson. 

We also discuss the effects of electronics on your sleep, how your wearables are emitting EMF and what it’s doing to our health, what you need to know about electrosensitivity and electromedicine, and – something many of you will find fascinating – the negative effects of electric cars on the environment and human health. 

Essentially, the key takeaway from this episode is how to actually live in this modern world and not be a victim to the EMFs that are surrounding us – and how it all boils down to making simple, mindful choices in our daily lives that compound into drastically saving our health. 

Justin Frandson is an Athleticism Performance Coach and Author. He founded Athleticism.com over 25 years ago doing nerve work for sports performance and treating concussions with amateur and professional athletes. Over a decade ago, Justin saw the athletes breaking down from wearable technology and looked to nature to solve it. EMFRocks.com and their Grounding Bags are now one of the industry leaders in natural electromagnetic radiation protection and help with sleep. They are sold through doctor clinics across the country. 

What we discuss:

(0:02:00) - The invisible world of electromagnetic fields and their potential health impact, and the importance of finding a balance between connectivity and potential harm

(0:06:44) - EMF mediation and its effects on the human body, Justin’s background in athletic training, and his experience with an athlete who experienced pain due to wearable technology

(0:10:40) - EMF sensitivity and its impact on our bodies, and the use of applied kinesiology to communicate with the body and understand its response to different stimuli

(0:25:07) - The effects of non-native EMFs on our health, and how these electromagnetic fields can disrupt our body's energy and lead to various health issues, including cognitive problems and serious conditions like cancer and diabetes

(0:35:59) - The effects of EMFs on our bodies, particularly in athletes, how EMFs can disrupt our energy flow and cause imbalances in our nervous system, the importance of maintaining a healthy environment, and how to test for imbalances

(0:47:16) - EMF protection and the use of crystals in achieving it, the unique properties of these crystals, and how they are used in grounding bags for portable protection

(0:54:52) - The impact of technology on our health and well-being, the importance of understanding our exposure to technology, and how it can affect our lives

(0:59:45) - The impact of normal things on our health and environment, why it’s important to use common sense and make informed decisions to live optimally and avoid becoming a victim of a profit-driven system

(1:12:57) - The negative effects of electric cars on the environment and human health

Aren't we all in the pursuit of finding fulfillment?

The King of all Fatal conveniences may very well be Online shopping. Since the invention of the World Wide Web in 1999, E-Commerce has grown exponentially around the world, with a particular peak in 2020 with the outbreak of COVID-19, leaving many people at home with nothing to do but shop online. With the rise of online purchasing also comes the rise in waste ranging from plastic to textile and excess carbon emissions. Not only is the impact to the environment significant, but the psychological impact is overwhelming, causing anxiety and depression in many people. What are the ways that we, the consumers, can curb our online shopping cravings to encourage our own health as well as the health of the planet? 

What I discuss:

Question 1: History and Why It’s Commonly Found in Society

Question 2: What makes online shopping convenient?

Question 3: Why should we care and why is it harmful?

Question 4: What are the solutions?

Have you ever wondered what our unique place is in this universe?

There is an intricate connection between humans, nature, and the universe, and that’s what my guest, Marcelo Gleiser and I dive into in this episode of the Darin Olien Show. 

We also discuss how science actually works and  the importance of credibility and accuracy in scientific knowledge, how we can take active steps to mend our relationship with our home planet, and astrobiology – which is the study of life in the universe, as well as exploring the possibility of extraterrestrial life. 

Marcelo Gleiser is a theoretical physicist and author of The DAWN of a Mindful Universe. He’s also a public intellectual at Dartmouth College working on basic research ranging from cosmology and applications of information theory to complex phenomena to history and philosophy of science and how science and culture interact. He is devoted to the public understanding of science and is a popular speaker with a strong social media presence and books published in 15 languages. 

What we discuss:

(0:07:15) - The importance of credibility in science, the challenges of misinformation, and the evolving nature of scientific knowledge

(0:23:07) - The environmental crisis, the role of individual actions, and the power of education and collective change

(0:30:22) - The interconnectedness of humans and nature, the physiological benefits of being in nature, and the responsibility humans have to the universe

(0:46:37) - Tribalism, human interconnectedness, the changes brought about by the pandemic, and the power of the human spirit and consumerism

(0:57:12) - The realm of astrobiology, contemplating the uniqueness of humanity, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and humanity's place in the universe

Here's a shocking statistic you probably didn’t know about Thanksgiving meals: An average Thanksgiving plate contains about 80-90 grams of fat which is as much as  1⅓ sticks of butter – and it contains on average 75 grams of sugar, which is equivalent to almost 20 teaspoons of pure sugar. Plus, the average person will gain between two to four pounds after the Thanksgiving feast. This isn’t even getting into the actual ingredients being used in the traditional thanksgiving foods – especially a traditional stuffed turkey. 

This doesn’t mean we need to cancel Thanksgiving – it simply means it’s time to rethink what your thanksgiving meals look like and how to approach the holiday in a more sustainable way. That’s why in this episode of Fatal Conveniences, we’ll explore Thanksgiving Meals.

Shownotes:

In this episode, Dr. Andrew Huberman, the brain warrior, shares how the mind and body have an intrinsic connection that significantly impacts our well-being, the use of technology in studying emotions and the nervous system, how neurogenerative compounds have a significant impact on brain function and circadian rhythm, and how understanding these relationships can pave the way for new treatments for neurological diseases.

We also discuss the role of breathing patterns in regulating the autonomic nervous system and the importance of rest in overall neurobiological health.

​​Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the department of neurobiology, and by courtesy, psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford School of Medicine. He is the founder of the Huberman Lab, and has made numerous significant contributions to the fields of brain development, brain function and neural plasticity, which is the ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new behaviors, skills and cognitive functioning. 

What we discuss:

(0:11:08) - How Andrew’s research has shifted from animal models to humans, discussing the role of AI in studying human emotions and the nervous system

(0:21:36) - The importance of breathing for autonomic control, the relationship between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, and how certain breathing patterns can quickly shift our autonomic nervous system

(0:32:53) - The impact of breathing on stress and immunity, and how breathwork can help the body.

(0:37:19) - How Andrew Huberman got into visual neuroscience

(0:44:28) - The importance of light for brain function and its impact on our circadian rhythm, and the role of certain cells in the eyes in setting the level of alertness or sleepiness in the brain.

(0:56:34) - The potential of neurogenerative compounds to support the brain's ability to regenerate and change in response to experience, the importance of focus and rest to achieve this plasticity, and the role of dopamine in triggering plasticity.

You wouldn’t eat a bag of dried pellets made of meat by-products. So why would you feed it to your pet? Just like humans, animals need proper nutrition to thrive and live happy, healthy lives. Most store-bought pet foods consist of low-quality meats, fillers and preservatives.

Pet food manufacturers are constantly trying to make the food-making process cheaper. So that means cheap ingredients and cheap packaging. All of that results in poor nutritional health for your furry friends.

This one isn’t tough, guys. We need to make sure our pets are eating whole, nutritional foods. I choose a plant-based diet for myself, but I know a vegan diet isn’t best for my German Shepherd, Chaga. So I give him a fresh, mostly raw diet consisting of 75% meat and 25% veggies and ancient grains. 

In this episode, I’ll give you some tips on how to use fresh food for your dog and some fresh pet food companies that I love. I discuss the gross history of pet food companies, signs that your pet has a poor diet, why raw food is best for pets, studies that reveal the horrifying ingredients in dry pet food, if grain-free is better for your dog, what foods are best for cats and dogs, and great fresh pet food companies.

What I discuss:

(0:02:02) - The history of pet food, its impact on pet health, and the need to treat our pets as family members

(0:09:12) - The dangers of processed pet food, the lack of regulations, the questionable ingredients permitted in pet food, and the potential toxins in pet food

(0:23:04) - The importance of conscious decision-making when it comes to the products we give our pets

When traveling through a remote area of South America I came across this nut known to the indigenous tribes for millennia, but virtually unheard of anywhere else. As a global superfood hunter for over 15 years, I'm convinced that Baru nuts are the healthiest nuts on the planet; literally a mini-cocktail of hard to find micronutrients and vegan protein.

Why do you do daylight savings? Is it actually necessary? And more importantly, what is it doing to our health?

When it comes to Daylight Savings Time it seems as though economic interests are once again the driving force for regulation.

Daylight savings time, although thought to be helpful in energy consumption during WWI and WWII, has a shockingly significant impact on our overall health. 

Companies and businesses are eager to keep the DST law put into place in 2007, which is shown to increase sales, but how is this adjustment in time affecting our circadian rhythms, sleep, and mental health?

Are we walking zombies destined to keep living in this shifted reality from changing our clocks twice a year? These are the questions we need answered and why we’re going to explore the Fatal Convenience: Daylight Savings. 

What I discuss:

03:05 - Discussion on the history and health impacts of Daylight Savings Time, particularly on our circadian rhythm. The economic implications of the time shift are also considered

07:25 - Deep dive into how Daylight Savings Time can lead to fatigue, blood pressure changes and even increase the risk of heart disease

12:30 - Discussion on the adverse effects of the time shift on night owls and teenagers who stay up late

16:45 - The reasons behind Daylight Savings Time, discussing the physiological and psychological aspects that contribute to the heightened sensitivity to time shifts

If you live in the United States, you’ve most likely celebrated Halloween – you’ve gone trick or treating, you’ve carved a pumpkin, you’ve dressed up in costumes – you’ve done it all. While this holiday can be fun and add some excitement to our lives, it also comes at a cost. 

For example, did you know in the United States, most of the 900,000 tons of pumpkin produced annually will be trashed, rather than used as food or composted? This enormous waste adds to the already critical global food waste crisis. Overall, around 1.3 billion tons of global waste are created each year. (World Economic  Forum, 2019) 

This is just a small glimpse into the amount of waste created from this holiday, let alone the impact it can have on your health. From pumpkins and candy to costumes, decorations, and more, we need to look at the global impact of this holiday from every angle.

That’s why in this episode of Fatal Conveniences™, we’re going to explore the holiday Halloween and how we can start to celebrate in a more sustainable and health-conscious way. 

What I discuss:

02:10 - Evaluating the Ecological Footprint of Halloween 

07:21 - Exploring the Intersections of Halloween, Environmental Sustainability, and Public Health

23:75 - How Can We Move Towards an Eco-friendly and Health-conscious Halloween Celebration
