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.

    by our actions, we determine our fate. Health or sickness? Joy or misery? Pain or pleasure? Life or death? Largely up to us.

    But before I explain why, I want to tell you about when I saw the comedian Louis CK on one of the late-night talk shows.

    He’d just been on a plane, he said, when the attendant announced that Wi-Fi service was now available. The guy sitting next to him immediately began working away on his laptop, but after a few minutes the Wi-Fi suddenly went off.

    “This is bullshit!” the guy said angrily.

    Louis CK said he immediately thought, here we are sitting in chairs that fly through the air at five hundred miles an hour, and this guy is pissed because he can’t read his e-mail?

    That’s funny and brilliant because it’s so true—about all of us. We become so accustomed to the miracles that surround us every day, we don’t even notice them.

    I’m talking about your body. My body, too. Everybody’s body.

    It’s a freaking miracle. Not just one miracle, either—it’s an infinite number of freaking miracles.

    It’s so mind-boggling that we can hardly begin to grasp it all. If we really had to stop and think about every amazing, breathtaking, jaw-dropping thing that our bodies are constantly doing, completely on their own and without any conscious effort on our part, without us even knowing about it, we wouldn’t have time to do anything else. We’d be too dazzled to try.

    Turning water into wine is a miracle, no doubt. But is it more miraculous than turning broccoli, walnuts, beets, apples, and water into bones and organs and blood and brains? Not to me.
