How To Biohack Your Morning Routine, The...

BEN GREENFIELD
About this episode

When I first met today's podcast guest, we were sitting in a sauna at Laird Hamilton and Gabby Reece's pool. He was sitting across from me and filled me in on some of the most advanced stem cell boosting tactics that I'd ever heard – including talking about little-known superfoods I'd never heard anyone expound upon with such knowledge.

 

 

 

 

Turns out this guy, whose name is Darin Olien, is actually called “the Indiana Jones of superfoods.” Since 2005 he has successfully sourced more than 300 foods and ingredients from around the world as an exotic superfoods hunter, supplement formulator, and environmental activist. Today, he is a renowned authority on nutrition, hydration, and the health potential of foods and herbs and he’s on a mission to help everyone learn about them and use them to feel their best.

 

 

 

 

In our discussion, we discuss:

 

 

 

 

--Darin's personal self-care morning routine...8:40

 

 

 

 

--Darin's company Totimed...22:45

 

 

 

 

--The amazing baruka nuts from Brazil...40:35

 

 

 

 

 

--The one non-negotiable thing Darin does for a good night of sleep...1:08:00

 

 

 

 

--And much more
