  • How to Slow Aging with Simple Lifestyle Changes with Michael Greger, author of How Not To Die
    Apr 24 2024

    Did you know that a healthy anti-inflammatory diet can benefit various organs throughout your body? From your heart and lungs to your brain, the right nutrition can slow down the aging process and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

    In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with the author of How Not To Die and How Not To Age, Michael Greger. We discuss this nation’s major inflammation and age related disease issues and how they come from an ultra processed food diet. We go over how to boost our body’s natural cellular recycling process with simple lifestyle changes.

    In our discussion, we emphasize the importance of evidence based research and how companies and consumers should make some modern day lifestyle changes. With simple changes, we could drastically reduce age related diseases. Our conversation dives into misconceptions with aging as well as the healing power of natural foods.

    Michael Greger, M.D., is a physician and internationally recognized speaker on nutrition. His science-based nonprofit, NutritionFacts.org, offers a free online portal hosting more than 2,000 videos and articles on myriad health topics. Dr. Greger is a sought-after lecturer and has presented at the Conference on World Affairs and the World Bank, testified before Congress, and was invited as an expert witness in Oprah Winfrey’s defense in the infamous “meat defamation” trial. A graduate of Cornell University School of Agriculture and Tufts University School of Medicine, Dr. Greger is also an acclaimed author. How Not to Die, The How Not to Die Cookbook, How Not to Diet, and How Not to Age became instant New York Times Best Sellers. More than a million copies of How Not to Die have been sold. All proceeds Dr. Greger receives from the sales of his books and speaking honoraria are donated directly to charity.

  • Q&A: How To Naturally Raise Testosterone and Everything You Need To Know About Olive Oil
    Apr 18 2024

    Today I am answering all of your questions about olive oil and how to increase testosterone naturally - for both men and women.

    I dive into best practices for olives, olive oil, and bottling. I tell you how to know what to buy and what to look for when consuming olive oil. A favorite free resource is consumerlabs.com when looking for safe products. You’ll learn the major benefits olive oil has, and even how best to consume it. I discuss organization certifications to look for when buying EVOO. I also dive into how to raise testosterone naturally, and why you shouldn’t go for HRT first. There is a lot we can do to benefit our hormones before considering injecting them straight into the body.
