One of the worst examples of products using known harmful ingredients is the over 9,000 different forms of PFAS, a forever chemical that is within a class of chemicals created from derivatives of Teflon. I struggle living in a culture that promotes businesses and corporations that don't care about us, and profit from our blind obedience. Today, it’s no different, except now we’re the ones doing the eating and the drinking, inventing our bodies. I enjoyed the chapter about fair trade and how he is passionate about getting out into the fields and meeting all the people he sources the ingredients from and making sure deals work for all parties. So a clean, whole fruit or vegetable is the go-between – a way for us to absorb substances that exist in the stars above us, and the soil beneath us.

I'll take from it that I need to eat more veggies (which I already knew) - so there you go, go eat more veggies!i didn’t follow the meal plans; just use the recipes for inspiration with my normal style of eating. If working at an office location and you are not "logged in", simply close and relaunch your preferred browser. As host of the widely popular podcast The Darin Olien Show, Darin explores solutions to life's "Fatal Conveniences" - a segment of the show uncovering modern-day flaws and challenges that may be undermining our health and our environment.

He also launched in early 2020 a health APP 121 Tribe created to help people learn about whole food plant based eating, recipes, easy to follow education, habit tracking and exercise. Superfood Hunter is the title that’s stuck, but my passion for this subject goes so much farther and deeper than that. Aside from the dubious opening statement that humans are inherently healthy and that all disease is preventable, self-appointed health expert Olien, the man behind the whole-food supplement Shakeology, sticks to the familiar. The downside, while I understand he worked for Beach Body and developed the shake used I personally am not a huge fan of the pyramid scheme the company runs so the plugs weren't my taste. Along with other big topics that at least for myself I’ve been told my whole life but never had it thoroughly explained.In 2017, he published SuperLife: The 5 Simple Fixes That Will Make You Healthy, Fit and Eternally Awesome, which claims to determine if a person is healthy enough to fight sicknesses. In this, Olien has failed the first rule of non-fiction writing: "Ok, great, but why should I listen to you? Written in Olien’s engaging conversational style, Superlife is a one-of-a-kind comprehensive look at dieting and nutrition, a timeless and essential guide to maintaining the human body and maximizing its potential. The elixirs of life, the fountains of youth, the well of immortality, the holy grail of vitality is located within. At any rate, once he made this pronouncement, which was widely reported, it became a lot harder to pretend ignorance.

Although Olien is an advocate for healthy, and predominantly plant-based eating, he doesn’t stop there.

And, above what we eat, drink, and how we breathe, we also need to address our mental health matters.Almost approaching 50, and able to appreciate and be grateful for the life I have been privileged to have, this book has invigorated a new found sense of health in my life. Whereas I'm sure that bad nutrition plays a part in some diseases, he seems to indicate that it is bad food and bad food only, and that modern medicine is therefore useless. From his years of experience within the health space, he wrote the New York Times best-selling book, SuperLife: The Five Fixes That Will Keep You Healthy, Fit and Eternally Awesome . I also enjoyed that the food portion did focus on minerals and nutrients instead of macros and calorie counting.
