Host Dave Asprey is joined by Darin Olien, environmental health expert, bestselling author of Fatal Conveniences, and co-host of the Netflix series Down to Earth with Zac Efron. Darin has traveled the globe uncovering forgotten plant compounds, investigated the most overlooked environmental toxins, and now works with leading scientists and governments to bring these breakthroughs into functional medicine and human performance.

Together, they break down:

• How rare plant compounds like osmotin support adiponectin and mitochondrial repair

• Why PFAS, synthetic fragrances, and EMFs are sabotaging your biology

• How environmental toxins contribute to hormone disruption and infertility

• What makes tap water so dangerous and how to fix it with simple filtration

• Why microplastics and heavy metals are harder to avoid than ever

• The role of habit design, detox protocols, and indoor air quality in biohacking longevity

• Why removing toxins first leads to better results in fasting, ketosis, nootropics, and cold therapy

This episode delivers practical tools for building resilience, improving detox capacity, and navigating the modern world with awareness. You’ll also get insights into the systems that have failed to protect public health and how personal action can create collective change.

If you’re interested in senolytics, sleep optimization, neurohacking, and smarter ways to upgrade your environment, you’ll find those topics explored in depth throughout this channel.

Whether you’re detoxing from hidden toxins or optimizing with Danger Coffee, this conversation aligns with the core principles of Smarter Not Harder and the mission of Upgrade Labs.
