Deep breathing may cause tingling sensations, a ringing in the ears, and/or light-headedness. These are normal responses and are no cause for alarm.

Darin's recent book, "Fatal Conveniences", unveils the underbelly of our modern, convenience-oriented life, illuminating the toxic products we regularly use and the harmful habits we unknowingly harbor.

    In this eye-opening podcast, Darin will share his exhaustive research into the everyday items—from deodorants, cosmetics, and cell phones to tea bags and chewing gum—that are causing havoc on our health and our planet. These seemingly innocuous items, as Darin reveals, are responsible for a cascade of problems, including auto-immune issues, obesity, and chronic diseases.
