What if the biggest improvements to your health aren't hiding inside another supplement, expensive biohack, or complicated protocol, but in the signals you're sending your body every single day? In this special episode of the SuperLife Podcast, Darin walks through his personal daily routine from the moment he wakes up, explaining not only what he does, but why he does it. From getting outside before touching his phone to morning light, hydration, meditation, breathwork, journaling, cacao, movement, food, and eventually shutting off the breaker to his bedroom at night, Darin breaks down the practices he has built into the rhythm of his life. But this isn't a prescription to copy Darin's routine. It's an invitation to understand the biological signals behind it and build your own. Darin's central idea is simple: food is information, light is information, breath is information. Every input you give your body becomes a set of instructions your cells have to respond to. Drawing from research on circadian biology, hydration, meditation, nervous system regulation, expressive writing, cacao flavanols, resistance training, cardiovascular health, and longevity, Darin explains how simple behaviors compound over decades. The healthiest and longest-lived people he has encountered around the world didn't necessarily follow elaborate protocols. Their health was embedded into a rhythm of light, movement, real food, darkness, and sleep. This is a practical look inside the habits Darin actually uses, and a reminder that your health isn't created by one massive intervention. It's built through the seemingly insignificant decisions you repeat every day. What You'll Learn What Darin does from the moment he wakes up each morning Why he goes outside before looking at his phone How morning light helps synchronize your circadian rhythm and nighttime sleep Why hydration comes before coffee or other stimulants How meditation and conscious breathing can change your relationship with stress Why Darin considers breath one of the fastest ways to influence your nervous system How journaling can help process emotions, gratitude, grief, and mental stress Why cacao has become part of Darin's morning ritual How resistance training and aerobic movement support long-term health Why Darin believes health is ultimately about creating a biological rhythm rather than blindly following someone else's protocol Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:34 – Sponsor: Bite 00:02:49 – What Darin does before touching his phone every morning 00:03:11 – Why your biology is waiting for the signal of morning light 00:03:44 – The purpose behind Darin's daily routine 00:04:12 – Why you shouldn't simply copy someone else's protocol 00:04:37 – Food, light, and breath are information 00:05:06 – How the modern day disrupts your natural biology 00:05:51 – The danger of stacking small "fatal conveniences" for decades 00:06:20 – Why Darin built his life around biological rhythm 00:06:47 – Darin's morning hydration routine 00:07:11 – Why Darin wakes up between 4 and 5 A.M. 00:07:38 – Morning sunlight, no sunglasses, and no screens 00:07:48 – Your body's master circadian clock 00:08:40 – What research says about morning sunlight and sleep 00:09:21 – The cheapest thing you can do tonight for better sleep 00:09:44 – Why Darin drinks water before anything else 00:10:22 – Darin's daily meditation practice 00:10:54 – What research shows about mindfulness, anxiety, depression, and pain 00:11:33 – Sponsor: Fatty15 00:15:14 – Training yourself not to be hijacked by the modern world 00:15:43 – Your breath is the steering wheel of your nervous system 00:16:33 – The five-minute breathing practice that changed mood and respiratory rate 00:17:13 – How conscious breathing can shift your nervous system 00:17:42 – Darin's journaling and gratitude practice 00:18:15 – Journaling through grief after losing his mother 00:18:44 – What expressive writing research reveals about mental health 00:19:17 – Why an unprocessed thought can become physiological stress 00:19:30 – The sequence Darin follows before consuming anything stimulating 00:19:39 – Why cacao is part of Darin's morning ritual 00:20:06 – Darin reveals the cacao project he's developing 00:20:32 – The massive COSMOS cacao study 00:21:36 – Cacao and potential cognitive benefits 00:22:13 – Flavanols, nitric oxide, theobromine, magnesium, and polyphenols 00:22:50 – What to avoid when choosing cacao 00:23:19 – Darin's approach to resistance training 00:23:43 – Why movement doesn't need to be complicated 00:24:19 – Resistance training and longevity 00:24:54 – The powerful combination of strength training and aerobic activity 00:25:17 – Why walking may be one of the simplest longevity tools 00:25:46 – Muscle, blood sugar, myokines, and grip strength 00:26:15 – How injury changed Darin's relationship with training 00:26:51 – Training to experience more of life 00:27:14 – The principle the entire episode builds toward: food is information 00:27:26 – What you've learned from Darin's morning routine 00:27:49 – What Darin eats every day and his nighttime routine 00:28:18 – Continue Darin's complete daily protocol on Patreon Thank You to Our Sponsors: Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

It's built from the information you repeatedly give your body. Light is information. Breath is information. Food is information. Movement is information. Darkness is information. Every day, your cells are listening to the signals you send them, whether you're consciously choosing those signals or allowing the modern world to choose them for you. You don't need to copy my routine. Understand why these practices matter, listen to your own body, and build a rhythm that works for your life. Because the seemingly insignificant things you do every morning, every afternoon, and every night eventually become your biology." Bibliography/Sources Morning Light Anderson, et al. (2025).

Can chocolate actually protect your heart or are we giving candy a health halo it doesn't deserve? Dr. Howard Sesso from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School joins Chuck Carroll to reveal what the landmark COSMOS trial discovered about cocoa extract, cardiovascular disease and cognition. The randomized clinical trial included more than 21,000 participants. One secondary outcome showed a 27% reduction in cardiovascular disease death among participants assigned to cocoa extract. However, the primary cardiovascular outcome did not reach statistical significance. Dr. Sesso explains what both findings mean and why the distinction matters. You'll also learn: Whether dark or bitter chocolate is automatically healthier The difference between cocoa, cacao and cocoa flavanols Why cocoa powder and cacao nibs may be better choices Cocoa's effects on inflammation and cognition Flavan-3-ols sources and why they matter Why the findings still need to be replicated Exam Roomie of the Week Charles Shryock Make a gift to support The Exam Room Podcast and the life-changing work of the Physicians Committee.

It's a View from the Bunker's Wayback Wednesday, with another interview drawn from our archive of programs dating back to June, 2009. This week, we go back to 2010 and interview with Joe Jordan of CE4 Research Group about the truth behind “alien” abductions.First released February 7, 2010THE WORLD is more like The X-Files than most people would like to believe. Of course, coming from Hollywood, The X-Files didn't present the whole story behind UFOs and alien abductions.Joe Jordan is the President and co-founder of CE4 Research Group (https://stopalienabduction.com), an alien abduction investigation and research team based out of Cocoa, Florida. Joe has been a Mutual UFO Network Field Investigator since 1992. He's been a guest speaker at six Roswell UFO Festivals in Roswell, New Mexico, including the 60th Anniversary Conference in 2007, and he hosted the official Roswell UFO Festival Conference in 2008.Joe is the co-author with David Ruffino of the book Unholy Communion: The Alien Abduction Phenomenon, Where It Originates and How It Stops. We discussed his research into the phenomenon, where the “aliens” really come from, and how contactees and experiencers can make them go away.Follow us!• X: @viewfrombunker (https://x.com/viewfrombunker) | @sharonkgilbert (https://x.com/sharonkgilbert) | @derekgilbert (https://x.com/derekgilbert)• Telegram: t.me/gilberthouse• Substack: gilberthouse.substack.com | sharonkgibert.substack.com• YouTube: @GilbertHouse (https://youtube.com/@gilberthouse) | @UnravelingRevelation (https://youtube.com/@unravelingrevelation)• Facebook.com/viewfromthebunkerThank you for making our Build Barn Better project a reality!

My friend Kari Bates (mother of six, lives in Elko NV, life coach) and Kimberly Bates (HR professional living in NYC) joins us to talk about their new podcast called “Coffee and Cocoa”. Their podcast focused on how Kari and Kimberly reframed/rebuilt their relationship on five core principles after Kimbery left the Church. They talk about the early years, the mistakes they made, and how they learned and implemented new tools/perspectives to preserve their relationship. And how their relationship is now beyond preserving the relationship but thriving. It is a beautiful family love story. And a story that they felt impressed to share with others through their new awesome podcast. If you are looking for a real-life story and actionable principles of preserving/growing a family relationship where there are differences in religious and/or political beliefs, I encourage you to listen/connect with their podcast. Thank you, Kari and Kimberly, for being on the podcast and your much-needed work in our community to build bridges. You two are awesome!

An unlicensed cookie factory, that was substituting cocoa for a charcoal-based food additive, was recently shut down for various violations.According to Business Insider, Egyptian officials targeted the facility, which was producing imitation products meant to look like other popular brands, for using expired and other unsafe ingredients. During the raid, authorities seized 1.8 tons of finished product and raw materials including a barrel of expired glucose and boxes of expired butter.Inspectors also found a barrel of E153 vegetable carbon, a black food coloring that the manufacturer was using instead of cocoa to give the cookies the dark brown color typically associated with chocolate.According to the International Association of Color Manufacturers, E 153 vegetable carbon is made by burning wood, cellulose residues, peat and coconut and other shells at high temperatures. It's not approved for use in the U.S. but other countries allow it in bakery products, cheese coating, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.But the main concern for authorities was the facility using it as a substitute for cocoa at an unlicensed factory.In response to the raid, Egyptian government officials are urging authorities to ramp up their inspection efforts at facilities.The owners of the unlicensed factory are now facing potential legal penalties.#Manufacturing, #FoodManufacturing, #FoodProcessing, #FoodSafety, #Factory, #Cookies, #FoodIndustry, #SupplyChain, #QualityControl, #ManufacturingNews

From chocolate and sugar prices to energy markets and inflation, El Niño's impacts may soon reach far beyond the weather forecast. Our Latin America Agribusiness Analyst Julia Rizzo maps out where the pressure could emerge first.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Julia Rizzo, Latin America Agribusiness Analyst at Morgan Stanley. Today: how El Niño could move from the Pacific into commodity markets, grocery prices, and investor portfolios. It's Wednesday, August 19th, at 10am in Sao Paulo.You may not follow rainfall patterns in Brazil or cocoa-growing conditions in West Africa. But you immediately notice when chocolate, groceries, or electricity cost more. And you can connect the dots to El Niño -- a warming cycle in the Pacific Ocean that disrupts weather globally. It changes where rain falls and shapes the outlook for crops, power markets, transportation, and inflation. There is now a 95 percent chance of a very strong El Niño in the fourth quarter of 2026. It could end up being among the most powerful events in more than 75 years of recorded history. Timing and location matter greatly. Crop damage often depends on whether heat or heavy rain arrives during a narrow planting, flowering, or harvest window. The most direct effects are likely to appear first in commodities. Sugar is on the list of commodities most exposed to favorable price dynamics from weather conditions. Cocoa also looks tight. Grains are more complicated. Soybeans need evidence of a net South American production loss. Problems in northern Brazil may be offset by stronger crops in Argentina or Brazil south. Corn is even more dependent on timing. The key near-term catalyst remains U.S. weather and crops. What happens next matters well beyond agricultural markets. Food is the main channel through which El Niño reaches the broader economy, and the effect usually appears after a one-year lag. That makes inflation primarily a 2027 story. In Latin America, the largest incremental inflation risks are concentrated in Peru, Brazil, and Colombia, with most of the pressure arriving in 2027. That matters for central banks. Weather shocks can fade. So, policymakers often look through an initial rise in food prices. The greater concern is that higher food costs may begin to influence inflation expectations, wages, rents, or other prices across the economy. Colombia stands out as the clearest case where those second-round effects could complicate monetary policy. India and Indonesia also face meaningful economic exposure. Agriculture accounts for a large share of output and employment in these countries. India is especially sensitive. Agriculture represents about 18 percent of the GDP, 43 to 45 [percent] of jobs, while food makes up roughly 36 percent of the consumer price basket. Record food reserves may provide some protection, though a poor growing season could still weigh on rural incomes and keep food inflation elevated. The economic consequences will vary widely. Higher agricultural prices can support farmer income and benefit some parts of the food and agricultural supply chain. They can also raise costs for households, food producers, and businesses that depend on grains and sugar. Utilities may benefit in markets where hotter or drier conditions lift electricity prices, while heavy rainfall could disrupt transport routes and airports in those exposed regions. Historical asset-price signals are limited, so this is less of a broad macro trade than a detailed assessment of local exposure. Rainfall, crop timing, inventories, and the ability to pass higher costs on to consumers will determine where the pressure lands. El Niño may begin in the Pacific, but its market footprint can travel from cocoa farms in West Africa to a grocery aisle, a power grid, or a central bank meeting. Thanks for listening.

VCs taking on interim roles at their portfolio companies is something that's happened for a long time — as is VCs making the permanent switch to the operator side. But a new trend seems to be gaining steam in Europe: VCs adding a CEO or operator title alongside their investor role, and doing both at the same time. Judith Dada, general partner at Visionaries, for example, has made that move this month, taking a role as co-CEO at AI startup Langdock, while Carmen Alfonso Rico, who founded UK-based angel investment firm Cocoa, announced she's joining her portfolio company, British chip startup Fractile, as VP of business operations. Both are retaining investment roles at their firms.Joining host Freya Pratty to discuss the trend is senior reporter Anne Sraders. The pair chat about why these moves are happening now and whether they could bring up issues for the firms further down the line. They also discuss further changes at Visionaries, as a number of partners transition from their full-time investment positions to entrepreneurial roles. Sign up to Sifted's weekly newsletter about VC here: https://sifted.eu/newslettersThis episode was brought to you by HSBC Innovation Banking.

Mondelēz International, the company behind Cadbury, Oreo, Toblerone and Ritz, has warned that future European investment could bypass the UK if regulatory instability persists.Chief executive Dirk Van de Put says the UK is the company's second-biggest market globally and contributes more than £2.3 billion to the economy each year, supporting 12,000 jobs and spending £1.3 billion with more than 1,000 UK suppliers. But he is sharply critical of food and drink being left out of the government's industrial strategy, despite representing around a quarter of industrial turnover. He says the sector is being taken for granted and warns that repeated policy shifts have already cost Mondelēz £40 million in reformulation work that was then superseded by further changes. Asked whether future investment could go elsewhere in Europe because of government policy, he says: “Yes, of course.”Van de Put also defends Mondelēz's decision to continue operating in Russia, despite acknowledging the company pays taxes there that contribute to the war in Ukraine. He argues that withdrawal would have put 3,000 employees out of work, left 10,000 farmers without a buyer, and likely handed confiscated plants to Kremlin-linked interests that could generate even more money for the Russian state. He says: “I'm not pleased about that,” but maintains that staying was “not the most popular decision” but “the right decision”. The conflict in Ukraine is not theoretical for Mondelēz. Van de Put reveals that the company's office building in Ukraine was hit on the morning of the interview, and its factories have been struck and rebuilt twice at a cost of tens of millions. He also said staff were evacuated to neighbouring countries during the worst of the fighting. More broadly, he describes the past two years as the toughest of his 30-year career. Wars, inflation, oil prices, packaging costs, fertiliser markets and weak household budgets have created cascading pressure across the business. He says global consumer confidence is among the worst he has ever seen.The cocoa supply chain has also suffered its worst disruption in at least 40 years. Concentrated production in Ghana and Ivory Coast, endemic crop disease and back-to-back extreme weather events drove an 18 per cent fall in harvests and sent prices soaring. Two stronger crops have eased the immediate pressure, but Van de Put says the structural fragility remains and the sector needs long-term intervention from governments, companies and farming communities.He also pushes back against the backlash against processed food, saying: “The world cannot live without processed foods.” He argues that processing is essential to food preservation and global food security, though he accepts the industry must continue to make products healthier.On GLP-1 weight loss drugs, Van de Put says Mondelēz is not yet seeing a material impact, but expects the trend to reshape consumer habits over time. He sees the drugs as broadly positive and says the company is adapting through acquisitions in protein and health snacking, including Grenade, Clif Bar and Perfect Snacks, as well as developing products with more protein, fibre and cleaner ingredients.Presenter: Leanna Byrne Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones0:00 Will and Leanna intro the podcast 03:01 Dirk Van de Put interview begins / His background as a vet 08:53 Forces shaping the business: wars, tariffs, climate, cocoa, regulation, GLP-1 drugs 13:25 Europe as a difficult market / Consumer confidence at historic lows16:28 Continuing operations in Russia / Moral decisions & taxes funding the war 21:51 Cocoa supply chain crisis, El Niño & prices 24:27 Consumer pricing, shrinkflation & recipe integrity 29:30 UK industrial strategy: food industry left out 33:00 Future investment in UK & HFSS regulation 36:07 Education vs. regulation on obesity & weight loss drugs 41:48 Acquisitions (Grenade, Clif Bar) & protein/fibre trends 43:50 Chocolate tasters & "tasting Neanderthal" confession

As that heavenly bit of chocolate melts in our mouths, we give little thought as to where it came from, the arduous work that went in to its creation, and the complex process of its maturation from a bean to the delicacy we all enjoy. This "little book" details everything you have ever wanted to know (and some things you never knew you wanted to know) about cocoa and chocolate from how the trees are planted and sustained to which countries produce the most cacao beans. Do cacao beans from various countries differ? What makes some types of chocolate higher quality than other kinds? Are there any health benefits to eating chocolate? Read on to learn the answers to these and many other questions about that wondrous little treat we call chocolate.

It's a View from the Bunker's Wayback Wednesday, with another interview drawn from our archive of programs dating back to June, 2009. This week, we go back to 2010 and interview with Joe Jordan of CE4 Research Group about the truth behind “alien” abductions. First released February 7, 2010 THE WORLD is more like The X-Files than most people would like to believe. Of course, coming from Hollywood, The X-Files didn't present the whole story behind UFOs and alien abductions. Joe Jordan is the President and co-founder of CE4 Research Group, an alien abduction investigation and research team based out of Cocoa, Florida. Joe has been a Mutual UFO Network Field Investigator since 1992. He's been a guest speaker at six Roswell UFO Festivals in Roswell, New Mexico, including the 60th Anniversary Conference in 2007, and he hosted the official Roswell UFO Festival Conference in 2008. Joe is the co-author with David Ruffino of the book Unholy Communion: The Alien Abduction Phenomenon, Where It Originates and How It Stops. We discussed his research into the phenomenon, where the “aliens” really come from, and how contactees and experiencers can make them go away. Follow us!
