In this explosive episode of the SuperLife podcast, Darin reconnects with fashion renegade and sustainability pioneer Jeff Garner, director of the groundbreaking documentary Let Them Be Naked. Together, they unpack the dark truth behind modern clothing—what it's really made of, how it affects your body, and why even "organic" tags can be misleading.

Jeff reveals the little-known history of synthetic fabrics, how the fashion industry was hijacked by petroleum-based chemicals, and what big brands don’t want you to know about dyes, phthalates, and PFAS. He shares the uphill battle to fund and distribute his film, the emotional catalyst behind it—his mother’s passing—and how the chemical war being waged on our skin is hiding in plain sight.

If you’ve ever worn wrinkle-free, water-wicking, or stretchy clothing… this episode will change how you see your wardrobe forever.
