Mar 12, 2024

“You are what you eat!”

In this week’s episode of the SoulTalk podcast, I am joined by Darin Olien, an American wellness expert, author, and entrepreneur. He co-hosts the Emmy Award-Winning series “Down to Earth with Zac Efron.” He authored “SuperLife” and founded Barukas™, producing nutrient-rich nuts sustainably.

Today, Darin shares his surprising journey from a career-ending injury to diving into the world of superfoods and natural health. It’s a story he never imagined. Also, he shares how his father struggled with multiple chemical sensitivities which led him to write his new book, “Fatal Conveniences.” This unexpected twist not only changed Darin’s life but also fueled his mission to raise awareness about toxic products and bad eating habits.

So if you’re aiming to live a healthier lifestyle, then this episode is for you. Tune in to learn the truth about what’s good and bad for your body, mind, and soul!
