Reverse Sun Damage From The Summer & Protect Skin From Winter’s Cold
Here’s a question for you: is it better to keep a cut covered and wet or let it air dry as it heals? This recently came up with a dear friend of mine, who was letting a cut “air out” by giving it time to dry between bandage changes. Even though letting a cut dry out or air out at night is a very common practice, the research shows that airing a cut out actually leads to a slower healing rate, more inflammation, and more scarring — which surprised her. So I knew it was time for my annual ...

My Latest Grounding Publication: Grounding To Facilitate Trauma Recovery
Today I wanted to share with you my latest published research article, on using grounding to help recover from trauma. If you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, you know that I talk about trauma recover a lot, because I personally (along with both of my children) had a profound trauma about 15 years ago from which we are all still healing. Because of my direct experience with using grounding to help facilitate our own recovery, I was able to notice first hand how grounding helped reduce anxiety, helped reduce muscle tension from persistent muscle bracing from ...

Your Fall Health Checklist: Which Of These Do You Still Need To Do?
Fall officially starts this month, and for so many of us, the shorter days and longer nights means a dip in our mood. Regardless if we keep daylight saving time or not, remember — humans do not regulate the sun or way the planets move or the hours of the day — the days will continue to shorten the exact same way they always have, and winter will continue to encourage a time of hibernation. Which is great! We want to stay in rhythm with the seasonal changes of our planet, as each season allows for a different form ...

My Latest Painting (& Why It Might Get You Through A Hard Time)
Whenever one of my children is going through a time of stress and overwhelm, I remind them how to get through it… think of a really big wave. The kind that rises up in front of you and, for just a moment, makes you wonder if you can handle what is coming. I knew my children would remember how that feels, playing in the ocean and all of a sudden a much bigger wave is coming towards you… you get an immediate pit in your stomach and only a few seconds to figure out what to do as it ...

Grounding Heals Trauma. Not Just Helps You Cope… Actually Heals It. Here’s How.
When we go through something overwhelming, unwanted and out of our control — whether emotional, physical, or psychological — the nervous system immediately shifts into survival mode. This is automatic. It is your body protecting you. Muscles tighten. Breathing becomes shallow and rapid. Heart rate increases. Digestion slows down. Sleep becomes difficult. The brain may even begin to dissociate or remain hypervigilant long after the traumatic event has passed. And the part that hurts your health long term is that trauma decreases your neuroplasticity. The brain is literally changed from trauma, and the way it works is more ...

Free Grounding Class: Join Me Tomorrow Or Sign Up To Watch The Replay Any Time
Even if you already eat well, exercise, taking supplement, and trying to manage stress — you are most likely still struggling with fatigue, poor sleep, chronic stress, mood swings, irritability, or chronic pain. We all are. And that’s because it is not possible to experience long term wellness without routinely resetting your body’s electrical function. Something no one’s ever taught you, not even your own physician. So if you are feeling off, wired-but-tired, anxious, depressed, have digestive issues, feel a growing lack of motivation, struggle to go to sleep, have pain or other health issues… you are absolutely not ...

Save Time To Play, Even After Returning To School. It’s Essential For Health At Any Age
Play is not only a relief and a respite from the seriousness that stress, illness and trauma bring to our lives, it is actually therapy. Play time is therapeutic time, point blank. Child psychologists use this healing tool often, because play is a child’s way to express and release any inner turmoil or fears that the child doesn’t even consciously know they have. But it isn’t only therapeutic for children, it’s therapeutic for adults too. In fact, I would argue that engaging in some form of play daily is one of the best things you can do to safeguard your physical health. From physical ...

5 Crucial Ways To Support Your Child As They Head Back To School
It’s mid-august, and that means back-to-school season, so the next few blog posts are here to help support your transition to that this time brings. There can be a lot of stress associated with back-to-school season. For some, back-to-school means an increased risk of in person bullying (as well as social media bullying) and scary headlines that include school shootings, piled on top of the normal stressors of navigating growing up and figuring out a career goal and growing from a child’s body into an adult body and all the growing pains in between, as well ...

The Ultimate Indoor Grounding Guide: How To Choose An Indoor Grounding Tool, And Why
Every year just before fall I always get more and more emails from patients and readers asking how to stay connected to the earth as the outdoors becomes less accessible: kids return to school, the weather gets colder, the days get shorter, and our exposures to the cold and flu start to peak. The latest email I just got asked me: “I’m, confused by all the grounding tools, can you go over them in more detail? I want to get my entire family into a grounding routine before the kids head back to school.” Yes, absolutely. Today’s blog post ...
