Story Script:

DARIN OLIEN HUNTS AND GATHERS IN HIS MALIBU BACKYARD.

HE'S ON A BREAK FROM TRAVELLING THE GLOBE TO SEEK OUT WISDOM ABOUT THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL SUPERFOODS...

COCONUT TOPS DARIN'S LIST OF SUPER FOODS. COCONUT WATER ALONE HAS LIFE SAVING PROPERTIES.

IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES, IT'S USED AS A BLOOD-BOOSTER.

FOR US TROOPS IN WORLD WAR 2...

DARIN OLIEN
WHEN THEY RAN OUT OF SALINE FOR PEOPLE BLEEDING OUT THEY ACTUALLY TAP THIS AND PUT IT DIRECTLY IN THE I.V. TO HELP THE BLOOD REPLENISH ITSELF AGAIN.

AS FOR THE FLESH, IT'S GREAT FOR BLOOD SUGAR, AND...

DARIN OLIEN
THIS STUFF IS ALSO A LAXATIVE.

DARIN HAS LEARNED A PLANT'S APPEARANCE CAN PROVIDE CLUES TO ITS BENEFITS.

DARIN OLIEN
SOMETIMES JUST BY LOOKING AT IT YOU CAN TOTALLY GET WHAT IT'S GOOD FOR.

TAKE CARROTS...

DARIN OLIEN
EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT CARROTS ARE GOOD FOR. RIGHT? THEY'RE GOOD FOR EYESIGHT.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT THE CENTER...

DARIN OLIEN
THAT THING IS JUST LIKE AN EYE. THE IRIS OF THE EYE.

WALNUTS...

DARIN OLIEN
THIS IS A MINI BRAIN. IT MIMICS THE LEFT AND RIGHT HEMISPHERES OF THE BRAIN.

IT TURNS OUT WALNUTS ARE LOADED WITH BRAIN-HEALTHY FATS. THE ANCIENT CONCEPT OF BIO-MIMICRY ALSO APPLIES TO HEIRLOOM TOMATOES.

CUT ONE OPEN AND CHECK OUT THE PATTERNS.

DARIN OLIEN
THEY'RE GEOMETRICALLY EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF THE VENTRICLES OF THE HEART.

NO COINCIDENCE, SAYS DARIN.

DARIN OLIEN
THE MAYANS... THE AZTECS... THE INCANS... THEY WERE ALL OBSERVERS OF NATURE. THEY OBSERVED IT AND THEY LEARNED FROM IT.

AND DARIN CONTINUES TO LEARN FROM THEM.

DARIN OLIEN
WE'VE ALL SEEN THE CH-CH-CH-CHIA PET RIGHT?

MAYANS HAVE BEEN EATING SOAKED CHIA SEEDS FOR ALMOST A THOUSAND YEARS.

DARIN OLIEN
IT CAN SLOW DOWN BLOOD PRESSURE. IT CAN SLOW DOWN THE ABSORBTION OF SUGARS. THE ANCIENTS USED TO TAKE THIS BY THE SPOONFUL AND RUN ALL DAY.

DARIN SAYS OTHER ANCIENT FAVORITES INCLUDE SACHE INCHE NUTS, QUINOA, WHEAT GRASS, ONIONS AND RAW GARLIC.

DARIN OLIEN
THESE ARE NATURES ANTIBIOTICS RIGHT HERE.

IN HIS TRAVELS, DARIN HAS COLLECTED EXOTIC SAMPLES AND POWDERS AND BLENDED THEM INTO A LINE OF SUPERFOOD SHAKES.

DARIN SAYS IF YOU'RE LAZY, MAKE ONE OF HIS SHAKES. IF NOT, CREATE YOUR OWN.

HE ADDS YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL AS FAR AS HE HAS TO CREATE YOUR OWN SUPERFOOD PHARMACY. JUST HIT YOUR LOCAL FARMER'S MARKET AND YOU'RE BOUND TO FIND FOODS THAT ARE...

DARIN OLIEN
ENERGY-PRODUCING, METABOLISM-REGULATING CHOLESTEROL-REDUCING, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-YEAST. ALL OF THIS STUFF AND ITS ALL RIGHT HERE. IT'S NOT HARD TO FIND IT.
