Dr. Anthony Youn: How to Age Younger + Feel Younger for Life Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

Here's the truth: If you want to look younger on the outside, you need to become younger on the inside. There is a direct correlation between how healthy your body is internally with how young you look externally – and this is exactly what we dive into in this episode the Darin Olien Show with guest Dr. Anthony Youn.

We dive into the concept of 'autojuvenation,' which refers to the body's natural regenerative abilities, why we should take a holistic health approach that focuses on aiding the body's own renewal processes for youthful vitality, and why we shouldn't be exclusively relying solely on surgical interventions.

We also emphasize the importance of nutrition in medicine and how a deficiency in nutritional education among medical professionals needs to be addressed. Our discussion also covers the connection between gut health and aging, the significance of dietary choices on skin health and overall vitality, and the difference between chronological and biological age.

Dr. Anthony Youn is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Award-Winning Author, and Anti-Aging Expert and has a new book that just released: Younger for Life. As a successful plastic surgeon for twenty years who performed tens of thousands of successful cosmetic procedures – he realized that the key to true beauty lies in a holistic approach to youth and surgery should be a last resort.

Fatal Conveniences™: New Year's Resolutions Dec 28, 2023

Show notes

Making a New Year's resolution is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, setting goals and setting out to improve yourself and your life is a very positive action to take. However, making unachievable resolutions is just setting you up for stress and disappointment.

Why do we start off the New Year by making resolutions we can't keep?

Let me start off by saying I'm actually a fan of New Year's resolutions. Every year, I reevaluate my current goals and set new ones for the year. However, I'm not a fan of unreasonable resolutions that set you up for failure. Or of the social pressure that comes every January 1st. Pressure does not create opportunity. It just creates stress.

On average, Americans make the same resolutions every year: lose weight, work out, eat better, quit smoking, save money and drink less. There's nothing wrong with any of those resolutions. But I'm curious about the underlying reasons for them.

If you want to lose weight to look good in Instagram pictures or quit smoking so your partner stops bothering you about it- you're more likely to break that resolution quickly. But if you want to lose weight to feel better about yourself and more content in your life, you may actually succeed! We need to start thinking about the intent behind these resolutions. Why do you want to achieve this goal?

This episode is not about ragging on anyone who sets a New Year's resolution. It's about learning how to make resolutions that help you improve your life. I don't want your goals to set you on a shame spiral. I want to help you achieve all your goals in a healthy way. We need to dig a little deeper into the "why" before we can get to the "how".

What I discuss:

[00:05:07] The First New Year's Resolutions

[00:06:54] Ten Most Popular Resolutions

[00:08:15] Why do we make New Year's Resolutions?

[00:12:25] How to be successful at setting and keeping goals

[00:16:01] Questions to ask yourself when a resolution doesn't pan out

Justin Frandson: Protecting Yourself From EMFs without Disconnecting From The Modern World Dec 27, 2023

Show notes

We are "smartifying" our world but it's actually not smart for our health – how ironic is that? We are in this fight between how to keep up with the modern world filled with EMF's and how to protect ourselves and our health.

This is what we dive into in this episode of the Darin Olien Show with guest Justin Frandson.

We also discuss the effects of electronics on your sleep, how your wearables are emitting EMF and what it's doing to our health, what you need to know about electrosensitivity and electromedicine, and – something many of you will find fascinating – the negative effects of electric cars on the environment and human health.

Essentially, the key takeaway from this episode is how to actually live in this modern world and not be a victim to the EMFs that are surrounding us – and how it all boils down to making simple, mindful choices in our daily lives that compound into drastically saving our health.

Justin Frandson is an Athleticism Performance Coach and Author. He founded Athleticism.com over 25 years ago doing nerve work for sports performance and treating concussions with amateur and professional athletes. Over a decade ago, Justin saw the athletes breaking down from wearable technology and looked to nature to solve it. EMFRocks.com and their Grounding Bags are now one of the industry leaders in natural electromagnetic radiation protection and help with sleep. They are sold through doctor clinics across the country.

What we discuss:

(0:02:00) - The invisible world of electromagnetic fields and their potential health impact, and the importance of finding a balance between connectivity and potential harm

(0:06:44) - EMF mediation and its effects on the human body, Justin's background in athletic training, and his experience with an athlete who experienced pain due to wearable technology

(0:10:40) - EMF sensitivity and its impact on our bodies, and the use of applied kinesiology to communicate with the body and understand its response to different stimuli

(0:25:07) - The effects of non-native EMFs on our health, and how these electromagnetic fields can disrupt our body's energy and lead to various health issues, including cognitive problems and serious conditions like cancer and diabetes

(0:35:59) - The effects of EMFs on our bodies, particularly in athletes, how EMFs can disrupt our energy flow and cause imbalances in our nervous system, the importance of maintaining a healthy environment, and how to test for imbalances

(0:47:16) - EMF protection and the use of crystals in achieving it, the unique properties of these crystals, and how they are used in grounding bags for portable protection

(0:54:52) - The impact of technology on our health and well-being, the importance of understanding our exposure to technology, and how it can affect our lives

(0:59:45) - The impact of normal things on our health and environment, why it's important to use common sense and make informed decisions to live optimally and avoid becoming a victim of a profit-driven system

(1:12:57) - The negative effects of electric cars on the environment and human health
