Fatal Conveniences: The Silent Epidemic with Darin Olien

Today, I'm speaking with Darin about a topic that's incredibly relevant yet often overlooked—what Darin calls 'fatal conveniences.' These are the hidden dangers in everyday products that can quietly undermine our health. In this episode, Darin and I dive into his personal journey with health and nutrition, discuss the alarming prevalence of harmful chemicals like PFAS, and unpack why it's essential to be a conscious consumer. We also cover practical tips, like selecting safer kitchen tools, fostering a toxin-free home, and understanding the impacts of EMFs and endocrine disruptors—especially on women's health. Our conversation highlights how vital it is for women, often the primary gatekeepers of household health, to advocate for chemical-free living and prioritize wellness in their families. This episode is about taking those small, proactive steps that help protect and promote long-term health.
