About this ebook

In this groundbreaking health and lifestyle guide, Darin Olien—superfoods expert, nutritionist, creator of Shakeology, and co-host of the Netflix docuseries Down to Earth with Zac Efron—provides the key to understanding and utilizing five life forces, the sole factors that determine whether or not we will be healthy, fit, and free of illness.

In Superlife, Darin Olien provides us with an entirely new way of thinking about health and wellbeing by identifying what he calls the life forces: Quality Nutrition, Hydration, Detoxification, Oxygenation, and Alkalization. Olien demonstrates in great detail how to maintain these processes, thereby allowing our bodies to do the rest. He tells us how we can maintain healthy weight, prevent even the most serious of diseases, and feel great. He explains that all of this is possible without any of the restrictive or gimmicky diet plans that never work in the long term.

Olien has traveled the world, exploring the health properties of foods that have sustained indigenous cultures for centuries. Putting his research into practice, he has created a unique and proven formula for maximizing our bodies’ potential. He also includes a “How-to-eat” user’s guide with a shopping list, advice on “what to throw away,” a guide to creating a healthy, balanced diet plan, and advice on how to use supplements effectively. 

Written in Olien’s engaging conversational style, Superlife is a one-of-a-kind comprehensive look at dieting and nutrition, a timeless and essential guide to maintaining the human body and maximizing its potential.

Ratings and reviews

Sometimes, all it takes is hearing someone tell you how important their own body is to them and why eating healthy/taking care of yourself makes a difference. Darin writes in a way that allows you to actually feel the passion he has for this topic because it's bouncing off the pages! This book really made me see my health as a priority and I couldn't help but ask myself why I wasn't driving a Ferrari?? (you'll understand if you've read the book). His explanations are educated yet simple, and informative but not boring. Food is fuel, and our bodies can be so much more if we let them. Take care of yourself everyone, and if you need a grocery list? Wondering what foods have the most vitamins? This book will NOT disappoint.

After watching the entire series, "down to earth" I am more convinced than ever my big mouth and tree hugging label is EXACTLY what I do right in my life. Darrin & Zac show us the corners of our world that innovate in the face of disaster, accommodate as in the heat and fury of water in Iceland, remind us of our natural healers and disgusting slaughter of trees and habitat for palm oil, our connection to food on all shows especially the 90+ gentleman in Sardinia, Italy who enjoys sitting around a table with family friend and strangers that only extend his good life. THANK YOU BOTH FOR THE AWARENESS, I AM VOTING BLUE TO SAVE THIS PLANET AND JUST BOUGHT THREE SUPERLIFE BOOKS FOR BOTH MY KIDS AND MYSELF. I felt every moment of mind expansion in every episode..

Great info!
