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.

If this wasn't bad enough, he has some truly bizarre takes: ADHD is not real and can be avoided with a good diet and more water; sunscreen is bad; all diseases are the result of bad nutrition. As Olien puts it, 'Drinking just any kind of water day in and day out won't enable the hydration and detoxification potential we're hoping to achieve for optimal health.
