In this solo episode of The SuperLife Podcast, Darin Olien dives deep into the true biology of energy—not motivation, not stimulants, not willpower, but the mitochondria themselves. Inspired by a groundbreaking conversation between Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Martin Picard, Darin reframes energy as an emergent property of how we live, not just what we eat or how much we sleep. This episode explores how mitochondria act as signal translators, listening to your food, stress, sleep, movement, emotions, purpose, and environment—and turning those signals into either vitality or depletion. Darin...

In this powerful and paradigm-shifting conversation, Darin Olien sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to dismantle everything we’ve been told about menopause, hormones, aging, and women’s power. This is not a conversation about “fixing” women — it’s about understanding a profound neurological, biological, and evolutionary transition that has been misunderstood, pathologized, and silenced for decades. Together, they explore why menopause is not the end of vitality, but the beginning of leadership, clarity, and sovereignty — and why reclaiming this transition could fundamentally reshape...

In this conversation, Darin sits down with his longtime friend, athlete, and powerhouse human Gabby Reece to talk about what it really takes to grow up without shutting down. They go into childhood chaos, the gift and cost of competitiveness, and what it means to stay “dangerous” in the best way as you age — in your body, your relationships, and your purpose. Gabby opens up about losing her father young, being uprooted from the Caribbean, using sport as a lifeline, and eventually navigating fame, motherhood, and a marriage with Laird Hamilton under intense pressure. She and Darin get...

In this deeply vulnerable solo episode, Darin dismantles one of the great myths of modern self-help: that transformation is something you’re meant to “do alone.” Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, physiology, and personal experience, he reveals the biological truth — the human nervous system is designed to heal, grow, and stabilize in relationship, not isolation. This conversation explores why loneliness creates physiological damage, why belonging is a survival requirement (not a luxury), and how to intentionally rebuild the village your cells have been waiting for. If you’ve...

info_outlineYour fascia — that connective tissue wrapping every muscle, nerve, and organ — doesn’t just hold the body together, it also holds memory, tension, and unprocessed trauma. In this episode, Jess shares how years of disconnection and burnout eventually led her to discover fascia as both a map and a doorway back to health.
Through breath, movement, and intentional release, fascia can unlock stored emotions, rebalance the nervous system, and help us feel safe in our own skin again. This conversation is about reclaiming your body at its most fundamental level — and why healing the fascia is the key to healing everything else.

Key Takeaway
“Your fascia is the body’s memory bank. When you learn to release it — with breath, movement, and intention — you don’t just free the body, you free the emotions and energy that were trapped inside.”
