In this solo episode, Darin pulls back the curtain on one of the most important parts of his life: he prepares for travel. From the supplements that keep his immune system strong to hydration hacks, adaptogenic elixirs, and EMF protection, this episode is a masterclass in staying grounded and resilient on the road.

Travel doesn’t have to destroy your health — it can actually elevate it. With a few intentional rituals, smart packing, and awareness, you can turn every trip into an opportunity to deepen your energy, focus, and connection to yourself.

Breakdown

What you’ll Learn

00:00:00 – Why Darin decided to peel back the layers on the beef tallow trend

00:01:00 – What tallow actually is: industrially rendered animal fat from slaughterhouse byproducts

00:03:00 – The dirty details: high-heat rendering, bleaching, deodorizing, and chemical refining

00:06:00 – The hidden foundation of factory farming and the myth of “ancestral” sourcing

00:08:00 – The human and environmental toll of the tallow supply chain — pollution, stress, and labor exploitation

00:10:00 – Marketing manipulation: how “natural” language disguises industrial exploitation

00:12:00 – Science check: why tallow isn’t nutritionally superior to seed oils

00:14:00 – The clinical data: saturated vs. polyunsaturated fats and heart health

00:16:00 – The real safety issues — prion disease, contaminants, oxidation, and hidden toxins

00:18:00 – Why skincare claims are unproven — no data shows tallow outperforms plant oils

00:20:00 – The illusion of “zero-waste”: how byproduct economics fuel more slaughter

00:22:00 – What “natural” actually costs — to the planet, animals, and human health

00:24:00 – The path forward: transparency, awareness, and choosing regenerative alternatives

00:26:00 – The SuperLife perspective: stop calling destruction natural — awareness is the first step toward change
