In this mind-blowing episode of the SuperLife podcast, Darin sits down with Yale-trained lawyer, mental health advocate, and neuroscience researcher James Kimmel Jr., whose groundbreaking work unveils a shocking truth: revenge isn't just emotional — it's biochemical. From his own near-murderous moment as a bullied teenager to a high-powered career as a federal prosecutor, James takes us on a gripping journey that exposes how revenge operates like an addictive drug in the brain, and how most violence — from road rage to war — can be traced back to an unseen cycle of revenge cravings. Together, Darin and James explore the dark underbelly of our justice system, why forgiveness is a neurological superpower, and how Kimmel's powerful Miracle Court process can help anyone break free from the vengeance loop. This episode doesn't just change how you see violence — it offers a radical new path to freedom.     What You'll Learn: 00:00 – James Kimmel's shocking origin story 05:30 – The night he nearly pulled the trigger 11:00 – Why revenge is neurologically addictive 15:00 – How the brain confuses revenge with healing 18:45 – The real neuroscience behind violence and addiction 22:00 – Why the legal system is society's revenge dealer 27:30 – The dangers of rumination and social reinforcement 32:10 – Everyday revenge: the grudges we don't even notice 35:40 – How most revenge is nonviolent, but still harmful 40:00 – The missing diagnosis: revenge addiction 45:00 – Why mental health experts have missed this 48:20 – How forgiveness works in the brain 53:00 – The hidden biological rewards of letting go 56:40 – The “Miracle Court” and self-led emotional trials 01:03:00 – How imagination alone can dissolve trauma 01:10:00 – Why this system could save millions of lives 01:19:00 – James's final message on choosing freedom over pain     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Our Place: Toxic-free, durable cookware that supports healthy cooking.

What if happiness isn't something you chase—but something you tune into? In this powerful solo episode, Darin Olien strips away the distractions of modern life to explore the real source of clarity, peace, purpose, and joy. With a raw and contemplative flow, Darin shares his hard-won truths about why success didn't fulfill him, how pain can become sacred, and why tuning inward is the path to your Super Life. This is more than a motivational pep talk—it's a deep call to remember who you really are.     Redefining Happiness Let's start here. Happiness. We're sold this idea that it's a destination. That if we just get the right body, the right job, the right relationship — boom — happiness will magically arrive. But the truth I've discovered over and over is this: Happiness isn't an emotion. It's a frequency. It's coherence between what you feel, what you do, and who you are. When your internal world matches your external actions — that's happiness. When your soul and your choices are in agreement — that's freedom.     Purpose Isn't What You Do — It's Who You Are I used to think purpose was this big thing I had to accomplish — something out there on the horizon. But now, I know better. Purpose isn't just what you do. It's how you be. It's the energy you bring into the room. It's the way you treat people. It's how you respond when no one's watching. The SuperLife isn't about chasing. It's about tuning in. When you're aligned with your soul — you don't need to prove anything. You just live it.     Perspective: From Victim to Creator Here's a shift that changed everything for me: We are not victims of this life. We are creators of it. The moment we stop outsourcing our joy — waiting for the world to “make us happy” — we begin to reclaim our power. Fear? Becomes fuel. Struggle? Becomes the sculptor. Your life becomes a canvas — and you become the artist.     The Keys to Living Your SuperLife So how do you actually live a SuperLife — from the inside out? 1. Radical Self-Honesty See yourself clearly — no filters, no bullshit. Get real about what's working… and what's not. 2. Daily Devotion Not grand gestures. Small, consistent choices. The micro becomes the macro. That's the game. 3. Community & Reflection Who's in your orbit? Do they mirror your greatness — or your fear? We rise together or we shrink alone. 4. Clear Energy Inputs Your life is a result of what you consume — not just food, but thoughts, media, environments, people. 5. Soul Dialogue Build an inner life richer than your outer one. That's where the guidance lives. That's where your real self is.     The Meaning of Life — and the Illusion of Seeking It Outside You know, I used to ask myself: What's the meaning of life? Why am I here? I thought maybe I'd find it on a mountaintop, or through success, or in someone else's approval. But here's what I know now: Life doesn't give us meaning. We give life meaning. Meaning is something we create by how we live, how we love, how we grow, how we serve. The trap? Thinking the answer is somewhere “out there.” But chasing the external world is like drinking salt water. It looks like it'll quench your thirst… but it just leaves you emptier.     Life Reflects You — Always And yet — here's the twist: The external world is meaningful. Not because it defines you… but because it reflects you. Your relationships, your challenges, even your pain — these are invitations. Mirrors. Life is always showing you where you're aligned… and where you're not. Not as punishment — but as clarity.     Pain as a Propeller I've felt pain — heartbreak, betrayal, confusion, exhaustion. I've stared in the mirror and wondered, What the hell am I doing? But I've come to see pain differently. Pain is sacred. It's a teacher. It strips away what's false. It shows you what matters. And if you're willing to feel it — it becomes a propeller. It pushes you to course-correct. To get honest. To get free.     Course-Correcting with Courage You are allowed to change your mind. You are allowed to choose again. You are allowed to leave the path that's killing your spirit — and walk toward the one that makes you come alive. That's what living a SuperLife really means. It's not perfect. It's not always easy. But it's real. It's yours. And it's waiting for you.     Closing Reflection: Ask Your Soul If you're confused right now… if you're overwhelmed or numb… Just stop. Get still. Ask your soul: What's true for me? What makes me come alive? Don't ask what's trending. Don't ask what will impress the world. Ask what feels aligned. Ask what lights you up. That's where your SuperLife begins.     What You'll Learn in This Episode: 00:00 – Welcome + why this might be Darin's most important message 00:52 – What if happiness isn't something to achieve—but to tune into? 01:40 – The myth of chasing the right job, body, partner for joy 02:15 – Happiness isn't an emotion—it's coherence between soul and action 03:20 – The ego's tyrannical grip—and how to loosen it 04:45 – When your soul and your choices align, that's freedom 05:30 – Darin's reflections on “Down to Earth,” purpose, and surrender 07:00 – This episode is an invitation—not a lecture—to remember 08:00 – The truth: you're already whole, you just forgot 09:00 – Silence, stillness, and telling the ego to shut up 10:50 – You're not a victim of life.

Your house should be your safe space. But what if it's the source of your symptoms? In this solo episode of Super Life, Darin Olien uncovers the hidden poisons lurking inside your home—from cookware and furniture to cleaning products and carpets. Darin breaks down the scientific research behind common toxins like PFAS, phthalates, formaldehyde, and flame retardants, and shows you how these “fatal conveniences” may be silently disrupting your hormones, damaging your gut, and weakening your immune system. You'll walk away from this episode with practical, easy-to-implement solutions that will help you detox your environment and build a home that supports vitality, longevity, and true wellness.   1. Formaldehyde in Your Home: The Silent Threat Formaldehyde is a common indoor air pollutant found in engineered wood products, cabinetry, moldings, countertops, and furniture. It is classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization and has been linked to respiratory issues, asthma, and even leukemia (Zhang et al., 2020). How to Reduce Formaldehyde Exposure:  Opt for solid wood furniture instead of pressed wood.  Use low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and finishes.  Keep your home well-ventilated with HEPA air purifiers.    2. The Hidden Dangers of PFAS (Forever Chemicals) PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are found in non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, waterproof clothing, and even drinking water. Studies show these chemicals accumulate in the body and are linked to cancer, hormonal imbalances, immune system suppression, and reproductive toxicity (DeWitt et al., 2019). How to Reduce PFAS Exposure:  Switch to cast iron or stainless steel cookware.  Avoid stain-resistant treatments on carpets and furniture.  Use water filters certified to remove PFAS.    3. Plastics: More Than Just an Environmental Issue Plastics release harmful chemicals like BPA (bisphenol A) and phthalates, which disrupt the endocrine system, leading to infertility, metabolic disorders, and even neurological issues (Talsness et al., 2009).  How to Reduce Plastic Exposure:  Use glass or stainless steel containers.  Avoid microwaving food in plastic.  Choose BPA-free household products.    4. Carpets: A Reservoir of Toxins and Allergens Carpets harbor SVOCs (semi-volatile organic compounds), flame retardants, and pesticides, making them a major source of indoor air pollution and allergens. Children and pets are particularly vulnerable (Cao et al., 2017). How to Reduce Carpet-Related Risks:  Choose natural fiber rugs like wool or cotton.  Regularly clean with a HEPA vacuum.  Use non-toxic carpet cleaners.    5.

Are the products you use every day poisoning you? In this episode of Super Life, Darin Olien dives into phthalates, a class of toxic chemicals found in food packaging, personal care products, medical devices, and even children's toys. Despite mounting evidence linking phthalates to hormone disruption, infertility, obesity, and chronic illness, these chemicals remain largely unregulated in the United States. Darin breaks down why phthalates are everywhere, how they impact your body, and what you can do to protect yourself. He also highlights Minnesota's groundbreaking SF 188 bill, which aims to force food manufacturers to test and disclose phthalate contamination for the first time in U.S. history. If you care about your health, your family, and the toxic load in your daily life, this is a must-listen episode that will make you rethink what you're consuming. Government Responsibility in the Spread of Phthalates Phthalates are chemicals used to make plastics more flexible and durable. Since the mid-20th century, they've been incorporated into countless consumer goods, from food packaging to personal care products. This widespread use is largely due to regulatory inaction and the prioritization of industrial interests over public health. In the United States, agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have been slow to regulate phthalates, despite mounting evidence linking them to serious health issues. These include endocrine disruption, reproductive harm, and chronic illnesses such as obesity and diabetes. Unlike Europe, which has banned certain phthalates in food packaging and children's products, the U.S. has often allowed industry self-regulation, leading to widespread contamination in consumer goods. The Industrial Agricultural Revolution and Processed Foods The post-World War II industrialization of food production significantly increased the use of phthalates. As food manufacturing scaled up, plastics became integral in packaging and processing equipment, leading to phthalate leaching into our food supply. Highly processed foods are particularly susceptible due to multiple points of plastic contact during production and storage. Studies have shown that individuals consuming more processed and fast foods have higher levels of phthalates in their bodies. Minnesota's Legislative Action: A Step Forward In January 2025, Minnesota State Senator Heather Gustafson introduced Senate File 188 (SF 188), a bill requiring food manufacturers to test their products for phthalates and publicly disclose the results. If passed, this legislation would be the first of its kind in the U.S., aiming to increase transparency and encourage manufacturers to reduce phthalate levels in their products. According to Senator Gustafson, "Minnesotans have the right to know whether the food they are eating and serving their families is contaminated with toxic phthalates. My bill will help consumers make healthier buying decisions and create a strong incentive for food manufacturers to get plastic chemicals out of our food."  advocacy.consumerreports.org Why This Matters This bill is crucial because it: Increases Transparency: For the first time, food companies would be required to test for and disclose phthalate levels, creating public awareness of the contamination problem. Encourages Stricter Regulations: Public disclosure could lead to consumer pressure for stronger nationwide bans and restrictions. Prioritizes Public Health: It challenges the longstanding prioritization of industry preferences over public health, acknowledging that chemical exposure is a public health crisis. Addresses Chronic Illness: With rising rates of metabolic disorders and hormone-related diseases linked to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like phthalates, holding manufacturers accountable is a step toward reversing this trend. Products Commonly Containing Phthalates and Associated Health Risks Phthalates are pervasive in many consumer products. Here's a breakdown of common sources and the potential health implications: Personal Care Products: Items such as nail polishes, hair sprays, aftershave lotions, cleansers, and shampoos often contain phthalates.  fda.gov Food Packaging and Processed Foods: Phthalates can leach into food from packaging materials and during processing. Diets high in dairy and meat have been associated with higher levels of phthalate exposure.  webmd.com Medical Devices: Some medical devices, including intravenous bags and tubing, contain phthalates to increase flexibility.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Household Items: Products like vinyl flooring, shower curtains, and certain furniture may contain phthalates.  toxicfreefuture.org Children's Toys: Some toys, especially those made from flexible plastics, can contain phthalates.  toxicfreefuture.org   Health Risks Associated with Phthalate Exposure Phthalates are known endocrine disruptors, meaning they can interfere with the body's hormonal systems. Potential health effects include: Reproductive Issues: Exposure has been linked to reproductive problems, including reduced fertility.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Developmental Problems: Prenatal exposure may lead to developmental issues in children.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Respiratory Issues: There is evidence suggesting a link between phthalate exposure and respiratory problems, such as asthma.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Metabolic Effects: Some studies have associated phthalate exposure with metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance and obesity.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov   Steps to Reduce Phthalate Exposure To minimize exposure to phthalates: Choose Phthalate-Free Products: Opt for personal care items labeled as phthalate-free. Limit Processed Food Intake: Reducing consumption of processed foods can decrease phthalate exposure. Use Alternatives to Plastic: Whenever possible, choose glass, stainless steel, or other non-plastic materials for food storage and household items. Stay Informed: Regularly check resources like the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database to find products free from harmful chemicals. How You Can Take Action While Minnesota is leading the way, collective action is essential to drive nationwide change. Here are steps you can take: Support the Bill: If you're in Minnesota, contact your state legislators to express support for SF 188. You can find more information and track the bill's progress here. Sign Petitions: Look for petitions advocating for the reduction of phthalates in consumer products and add your voice. Stay Informed: Follow organizations like Consumer Reports and Clean Water Action, which are actively involved in this issue. Reduce Personal Exposure: Limit consumption of highly processed foods, use glass or stainless steel for food storage, and avoid products with "fragrance" listed as an ingredient, as it can be a source of phthalates. Active Petition to Support Minnesota's SF 188 As of now, there isn't a specific petition available for Minnesota's SF 188 bill. However, you can take proactive steps to support this legislation: Contact Legislators: Reach out to Minnesota state legislators to express your support for SF 188. Personalized messages can be impactful. Stay Informed: Monitor the bill's progress through the Minnesota Revisor's Office website. Conclusion Minnesota's initiative is a significant step toward addressing the pervasive issue of phthalate contamination. However, true accountability requires federal-level bans, a shift toward non-toxic alternatives, and a rethinking of industrial food production. By staying informed and taking action, we can collectively push for a healthier future.   Bibliography Consumer Reports.

In this episode, I sit down with Darin Olien, renowned health expert, author, and co-host of Netflix's Down to Earth, to discuss his journey in wellness, sustainability, and superfoods. The conversation kicks off with how I met Darin at Expo West, where I was introduced to the superfood Barukas nuts, known for their low-water footprint, high antioxidant content, and virtually no heavy metals. Darin shares the incredible backstory behind his discovery of Barukas and how they're revolutionizing health and sustainability. We dive deep into Darin's perspective on staying hopeful amidst overwhelming health challenges like hidden toxins in everyday products and new pesticides in our food. We explore how people can protect themselves from these unseen dangers, even when harmful substances aren't listed on product labels. We also discuss what it takes to make lasting health changes, how to overcome the comfort of bad habits, and why some of us need to hit rock bottom before real transformation begins. Darin opens up about the principles he's reevaluated over the years and reflects on staying true to his values in an era where influencers are often tempted by financial incentives over integrity. The conversation touches on practical advice for those living in food deserts, the real impact of genetics on our health, and why humans seem to have lost their instinctive understanding of what to eat, unlike wild animals. Lastly, as fellow introverts, Darin and I reflect on the challenges of maintaining energy and empathy in a world filled with online negativity. Tune in for an inspiring and thought-provoking episode that will leave you rethinking the way you approach health, sustainability, and personal growth.

What would we do without all of our modern conveniences? Things like instant access to food, water, clothing, information, and entertainment. Science, chemistry, and technology have made our lives bigger, better, faster and - well, more convenient.The question is… at what cost?Returning to the podcast this week is Darin Olien, health entrepreneur, activist, podcaster, co-host of the number one Netflix docuseries Down to Earth with Zac Efron, and author of bestsellers like SuperLife and Fatal Conveniences.Darin says the chemicals and systems that process our food, our water, what we wear -- basically everything we consume -- is killing us and destroying the planet.That's a big statement. And a pretty shocking one, at that. But it didn't come out of nowhere – Darin's been traveling the world, sounding this alarm for decades with real concern for our collective health and the planet's future.And if he's intense about exposing the problems, he's even more passionate about finding the solutions.In our conversation today, we unravel how to turn that fear and concern into real action – on a personal level, and in the world. He provides easy alternatives to our modern “fatal conveniences” that can help us regain our health and maybe save the planet.It's a discussion that couldn't be more timely and urgent – and I'm confident you'll leave it with some new learnings, a fresh perspective, and important insights into healthy living.With Fire,MG and the FM Team-----WATCH this episode on our YouTube channel.Connect with us on our Instagram.Order my book, "The First Rule of Mastery" HERE!For more information and shownotes from every episode, head to findingmastery.com.To check out our exclusive sponsor deals and discounts CLICK HERESee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
