SuperLife: The 5 Simple Fixes That Will Make You Healthy, Fit, and Eternally Awesome

I'm a dietitian, a certified health coach and a Beachbody coach. Because of my own passion for health, I've read (and continue to read) a ton of books on various health topics...and I scrutinize them all. I am always looking for sound advice, things that make sense from all angles, actions that can be taken by me (a motivated person) as well as by the average Joe...and it certainly helps when the material is written in a voice that is believable and understandable. This book exceeded my expectations on all fronts. Right from the start of the book, you can sense Darin's genuine nature, his love of health, and his desire to do things THE RIGHT WAY. He brings you immediately into his world, as a tour guide of sorts, and leads you on a journey to identify the 5 core things we can do to maximize our health, right now, and forever. It is a sensible approach, explained through his perspective (a self-declared "tree hugger"), which adds a dimension not usually present in other health books. Darin's real-world experiences are immensely valuable--he can teach us things that he has lived and experienced because of his hands-on approach. His plan is clearly outlined and his tips and advice are cleverly sprinkled throughout the book (so you won't want to skip a page or you might miss out on some of his wisdom, shared with you in his comfortable, call-it-like-it-is voice). The information he shares is backed up by clinical studies (to which he refers) as well as his unique, worldly experiences. As you read the book, you get the overall VISION of how to be healthy--and then, in the final chapters, you get concrete help on how to put these principles into play with the help of food lists, a 10-day meal plan plus recipes. I highly recommend this book as the BEST resource I currently know about to help anyone and everyone find a path to their best health.

I got tuned in to Darin thru the NETFLIX show 'Down to Earth'. I love his podcast and generally his all-around style of parting information. His knowledge is deep, and to question that is simply ridiculous. However, I will say this: if you are just mow beginning your journey into a plant based world, exercise, knowledge, and hydration then this book is ABSOLUTELY for you. It is what I will refer to in the future as the ;must read' primer for anyone ready to step on the journey to great health. unfortunately, I have been on this ride for a little while, so some of this was a little repetitive for me (not that re-emphasizing the basics isn't important; because it is). I found myself skipping around a little bit to seek out information I had not already learned on my own through independent research or trial and error. The end of the book was better suited for me as I had wonderful information about various foods, recipes, and a menu. Here is why I will recommend this book to anyone interested. I think Darin really cares about the subject and the folks he shares it with. Are we not all ready for some positive energy and good healthy suggestions on living a healthier life? A 'kick-ass' life? It's a good read and worth the time. Be safe and be well.

I know all the information given in this book already and practicing almost all of it many years. But there is a gap in between times by not doing it constantly because of doing the same thing over and over again becomes boring unfortunately! Choosing these rules as a life style in our society is very hard to follow! But writer puts his awesome style of writing in it with a big heart and love, it is a constant reminder to all of us that we must choose to live and teach others the way how our body works and what it needs. Excellent book, easy to read for everyone to understand and follow. I will read this book again and again to never forget how correctly I must take care of my body. Thank you

Thank you Mr. Olien for writing such an informative book. I have always felt that good healthy food is our true medicine. After all, our bodies are amazing machines! This book is easy to read and comprehend and I love the sense of humor! I highly recommend this book if you want to turn your life around for the better with good healthy foods! Great recipes, too!

My only regret about this book is that it did not exist when my health journey started 3 years ago! Every spare moment I have had these last few years has been spent reading and studying food and its affects on our bodies. Because we are all so different it's very hard to know what to follow. Everything I have covered has landed me right where Darin takes you in this book, cover to cover the most concise yet very detailed bible of healthy "SUPERLIFE". I love the way Darin makes it real, you know the man knows his stuff just by the way it is presented. It's broken down and simple for anyone to pick up and begin making changes to feeling better. Highly recommend this read for beginners on the road to health as well as those who think they are doing all they can already, it will likely teach you a few new ideas. Thank you Darin Olien!

This book breaks down your body in a way you've never thought about before, but everyone should know and have a clear understanding of. I highly recommend watching Darin in "Down to Earth w/ Zac Efron" on Netflix first to understand his mindset and where's he's coming from with his purpose for sharing this mind-blowing information. This is true inspiration to improve your life, with easy steps laid out for you to follow, and is a must read for everyone who is looking to do so. As with all advice, simply take what you like from it and leave anything you don't...what you do take will in fact make you feel eternally awesome.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I learned so many things that I really didn't comprehend before. We all know what we should be eating, but junk food is very enticing. This book explains the actual impact that bad eating has on our health over time. Very eye opening!

I feel better already!

Very interesting ideas and some of which only require a very simple adjustment to what you eat.

Un libro che dovrebbe diventare parte integrante del tessuto culturale relativo all'alimentazione, aiutando ciascun individuo a prendere le decisioni corrette nel momento in cui ci si siede a tavola. Ad oggi, infatti, vi è ancora un livello elevato di disinformazione sugli alimenti che vengono consumati quotidianamente, ma che alla fine non apportano nessun beneficio concreto al nostro corpo. L'autore in questo senso è riuscito davvero a farmi aprire gli occhi di fronte alla realtà dei fatti. Finalmente mi è chiaro che per condurre una vita sana e sfruttare appieno le potenzialità del nostro corpo occorre privilegiare tutti quegli alimenti naturali, non processati o alteratiti a livello chimico. L'informazione è tutto, non possiamo pretendere di stravolgere in positivo le nostre abitudini alimentari senza una guida che ci fornisca le indicazioni da seguire. Io in questo libro ho trovato la mia guida e spero possa essere d'aiuto a chiunque lo leggerà.

Since a young boy I was looking for ways to improve quality of living! This book shows a lot of it!! Great material for someone who's looking for constant well being and optimum performance. Huge thanks for the author who dedicated time and energy writing this down! Namastê 🙏

I bought this book after watching Darin Olien and Zac Efron show, Down to Earth. It does aspires me to do the same and that leads me to get the book. Great read if you're into changing your lifestyle and going for a much simpler and healthier you. Would highly recommend this book to anyone whose looking into changing your life.

Amazing book! You can understand how life may be with the proper indications of an expert. Who better than Darin. Thanks buddy.
