In this eye-opening episode, Darin welcomes Charlie Goldsmith, an energy healer whose mysterious abilities have both fascinated and confounded the scientific community. Charlie has spent decades helping people with chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and emotional wounds — often with nothing more than his presence and intention. In this intimate and inspiring conversation, Darin and Charlie explore the nature of subtle energy, the limits of traditional medicine, and how we might reframe healing altogether.

Charlie opens up about his journey — from being a skeptical teenager to working with top researchers and medical professionals who’ve witnessed his unexplained results. They also confront the criticisms he’s faced, discuss the ethics of energy healing, and examine what it means to be “scientific” in a world that’s only beginning to measure the invisible.

“Science isn’t always about what’s already measurable — sometimes it’s about discovering what we haven’t figured out how to measure yet. Healing is real, and it doesn’t always look the way we expect.”

In this eye-opening episode of the SuperLife podcast, Darin sits down with Ethan Brown, the founder and CEO of Beyond Meat, to dismantle the myths surrounding meat consumption, plant-based diets, and our broken food system.
