These Medical Studies Show How Grounding Benefits Build Over Time
October 28, 2024
I get asked all the time if there is any time too short to get grounded. To that I say no. Grounding is as instantaneous as flipping on a light switch. When you turn on a light, the entire room is illuminated — that’s what happens when one cell in your body becomes grounded: your entire body is grounded. Because your body is instantly grounded at first contact, there is really no time too little for grounding. Muscles instantaneously decrease in tension, the brain immediately shifts into more healing brainwave patterns, and our autonomic nervous system ...

10 Important Changes In Healthcare Over The Past 20 Years
October 21, 2024
I went to medical school in 1996 — almost 30 years ago. In that amount of time, there has been a lot of positive forward momentum in health and healing, and many diseases that were considered terminal now have amazing outcomes thanks to new developments such as biological therapies for cancer treatment and autoimmune diseases. Advances in our understanding of how to help the body heal are not a new thing — centuries ago physicians used leeches in blood letting, or prescribed time by the sea when they were not sure what else to offer (which I think ...

How Grounding Decreases Your Anxiety Immediately & Keeps It Down Long Term
October 14, 2024
I’ve been anxious my entire life. I can’t remember a day when I did not wake up with a huge knot in my stomach that felt like death was gripped my solar plexus and sneered up at me. Unfortunately the medical literature is pretty clear — anxiety has major health effects, but it’s equally clear that those deleterious health effects are actually reversible. Meaning, if you suffer from anxiety, it’s very worth addressing, not just for the relief on a daily basis but also for the longevity benefits. Published February 5, 2015 in the British Journal of Psychiatry, researchers ...

The Benefits Of Grounding To Boost Brain Health And Improve Cognition
September 30, 2024
There is a beautiful relationship between our brain and the electrical field of our planet. This makes sense, as our sensitive yet complex neurological system has developed over millions of years — all while being bathed in the earth’s natural electrical field. Through recent research, we are just bringing to understand how the earth’s electrical field helps support all of our brain functions — from enhancing mood to supporting cognition to maintaining ideal autonomic brainstem functions (like healthy heart rate variability and breathing patterns) to deepening our restorative sleep at night. Today I’m sharing with you the latest ...

What Happens When You Are Grounded To The Earth In An Artificial Electrical Field
September 23, 2024
Every single day I get emails asking if the natural energy of grounding is changed by the presence of artificial manmade EMFs. The short answer is yes. There is so much confusion around grounding in a manmade electrical fields, if it matters or not, and why. If you are confused, that’s what grounding companies are relying on. This confusion is in part intentional by corporations who bulk manufacture cheap grounding tools because they don’t want you to figure out that electrosensitivity is a real issue, so instead they pretend that when you are grounded you are somehow ...

The fall Equinox is this weekend, so we are officially headed into fall now! And for so many of us, shorter days and longer nights means a dip in our mood. Fortunately, there are lots of great things to do to get prepared as the seasons change.

How To Repair The Sun Damage To Your Skin From Labor Day Weekend
September 3, 2024

If you are a long time reader of my blog, you’ll know that I am a big fan of the many health benefits of sunshine so I’m glad I got to enjoy it a little, but while sun exposure actually prolongs lifespan and is important to our physical and mental health, there is no denying that sun exposure is harsh on skin. Which means it’s time to repair my skin from this past summer’s sun damage as well as protect ...
