Learn More About Darin

Darin Olien

Darin is the founder and visionary of SuperLife, he is the first ever health and wellness expert to be coined a “Superfood Hunter.” He is known uniquely within the health and wellness community as an exotic superfood expert, supplement formulator, and environmental activist who travels the planet to discover new and underutilized medicinal plants.

Inspired by his travels around the world, he has created an individualized approach to achieving optimal health through small changes and daily habits based on the wisdom of global cultures. It’s his no-judgement, progress-focused, supportive approach that gets results.

Darin’s interest in food and nutrition began when a college football injury drove him to uncover better ways to heal his body. He realized there had to be a better option out there after he struggled to recover using only traditional Western medicine treatments that failed to address the healing potential of his diet and lifestyle choices. It’s then that he began to pursue a healthier lifestyle and deeper understanding of how hydration, nutrition, and exercise can truly impact the human body. Darin changed his major, studying Exercise Physiology and Nutrition. He now holds a Bachelor degree in this field as well as a Masters in Psychology. Today Darin is widely recognized as an authority and valuable resource on plant–based nutrition, supplement formulation and elite performance programs, which he has created for some of the top athletes in the world.

After 20+ years of travel and unwavering dedication to research, Darin published his book, “SuperLife: The 5 Simple Fixes That Will Make You Healthy, Fit & Eternally Awesome” in 2015 at the same time that the online SuperLife community was founded. One year later, the leading SuperLife 10-Day Nutrition program was launched, which has helped thousands successfully reclaim their health and experience the healing power of plant-based nutrition.

Rachel Balkovec

In her own words…

Everyone has different methods of growth, but my drinks of choice are traveling and training. More specifically, I’ve lived in 15 cities in the past 12 years, I visited 9 countries in the past year and I just moved to Tampa to start a new job with the Yankees as a minor league hitting coach. My training has ranged from being a college softball player, to a wannabe beach volleyball player to now exploring more organic strength with the Ido Portal method and Cross-fit. I also genuinely love meeting people who are what I like to call ‘seekers.’ In all of the traveling that I’ve done, I’ve met some really and truly incredible people have decided to start a podcast to share some of their stories. You can listen to the Theta Wave Podcast here.

One of my main passions is teaching and the biggest outlet for me at the moment is being a strength and conditioning coach. I have worked for 3 different professional baseball organizations in the past 7 years as a strength and conditioning coach including the Houston Astros, St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago White Sox. I was just recently hired as a minor league hitting coach for the New York Yankees. I happen to be the first woman to have worked as a full time strength and conditioning coach and also as a full time hitting coach in professional baseball. Before baseball I worked at LSU, ASU, and EXOS. I also had the pleasure of working with the Dutch national baseball and softball teams last year in Amsterdam while I completed my second master’s degree. Most recently, I worked at Driveline baseball while completing my research in eye tracking for hitters.
