Have you heard the common belief that eating fruit is bad because of the sugar it naturally contains? I’m diving into the research behind eating fruit and more in this Q&A episode on the Darin Olien show.

I discuss the truth about fruit sugars, their impact on your health, how the fiber and phytochemicals in whole fruits can regulate blood sugar levels, and the research behind consuming whole fruits to lower your risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. I also dive into the health benefits of unrefined honey, the importance of high-quality honey, and its metabolic effects compared to other sugars.

One year ago, a chance meeting at the South Summit in Spain sparked a conversation that would inspire this very episode of the Darin Olien Show. My guest Robyn O’Brien is the definition of unstoppable, successful, and unbelievably interesting.

Robyn truly is a multifaceted human which leads us to have a multifaceted conversation where we discuss about the transformative journeys of resilience and leadership, the complexities of physical and mental healing, the personal courage required to challenge systemic issues, the importance of authenticity, female empowerment, and balancing high achievement with self-care, the potential for a more conscious and values-driven approach to leadership and finance, and so much more.

Robyn O'Brien is a best selling author, most recently of Seeding Innovation, on leadership and courage, and she is a Partner at Montcalm, an impact investment platform, redefining the financial system with a deep commitment to transparency, diversification, sustainability and performance. She is a Fulbright scholar, author, investor, advocate and keynote speaker on leadership, courage and global food systems. In 2020, she was recognized on Forbes Impact 50 List for her work at the intersection of agriculture and climate.

We’re diving into more questions from you in this solo episode of the Darin Olien Show! You asked, and I’m answering the most popular questions with science-backed research.

I discuss how to meet your protein needs with a balanced diet rich in whole food plants by referencing insights from experts like Dr. Christopher Gardner and Simon Hill. I also dive into the importance of selecting non-toxic cookware to support a healthy lifestyle and avoid harmful chemicals, as well as intermittent fasting for women. There are potential benefits and limitations you should know before deciding to go that route as there is an optimal fasting window tailored to factors like stress levels and menstrual cycles.
