140. Fatal Conveniences with Darin Olien (NY Times bestselling author and wellness expert) 🌴 | Win the Day® with James Whittaker (Win the Day Podcast)

“Look after the land and it will look after you. Destroy the land and it will destroy you.” – Aboriginal Proverb

Everything in your environment determines whether you win or lose...

But how well do you know your environment? 🤔

Our guest today is health legend, superfood hunter, and New York Times bestselling author, Darin Olien. Darin is best known as co-host of the Emmy Award-winning Netflix docuseries, Down to Earth with Zac Efron.

After spending nearly 20 years exploring the planet to discover new and underused exotic foods and medicinal plants, Darin developed Shakeology. Since 2008, it’s grossed over $4 billion in sales.

His first book SuperLife was a monster hit and a NY Times bestseller. Darin’s new book, Fatal Conveniences, has just been released.

In this episode:

• How toxic products have permeated your home (and the reason you’re low on energy each day).
• The importance of sustainable business practices on our health and the environment.
• Darin's personal journey and how various cultural influences shaped his mindset; and
• How to master the art of healthy living.

Let’s WIN THE DAY with Darin Olien!
