As we head into summer, I hope all of us are spending more time outside than ever. Unfortunately, ticks carrying the Lyme disease bacteria (Borrelia Burgdorferi) have been found in all 50 states, so don’t be fooled into thinking it’s only something that folks in the northeast have to be concerned with.

To me, this healing practice of grounding is as crucial as eating or hydrating or breathing or wearing ...

Did you know you still had some of the amniotic fluid you incubated in when you were in your mother’s womb inside your brain to this very day? Yep, some of the original fluid that was there surrounding you as a fetus in the womb is what makes up your cerebrospinal fluid that bathes your brain right now.

Chocolate To Boost Your Metabolism? Uh Yes Please (+ Additional Benefits)
I love chocolate so much I even have a bowl of chocolates in my office I eat from almost every day. Now I don’t recommend a bowl of easily accessible sugary treats to be within arms reach while you are trying to work, speaking from personal experience, ahem… but let’s gloss over that for now and instead focus on why eating chocolate in moderation may not be as bad for you as might assume!

My Top 9 Longevity Tips For You To Feel Your Best

Nutritional supplements can be balancing and healing. But inevitably, with every holistic healing modality I worked with prior to grounding, there would be some patients who benefit greatly and some who get absolutely no results whatsoever. Some people heal with a certain diet. Some heal with a particular physical therapy exercise. Some heal with a prescription medication, some with a life saving surgery, some with a chiropractic adjustment, some with ...
