Getting Hot Outside? Grounding Tips That Keep You Comfortable, Even In The Summer
When the heat index starts gaining momentum and you find yourself wilting just stepping out the front door, it’s time to add something cool and refreshing to your outdoor grounding sessions, or it’s time to bring your grounding practice indoors—where the air conditioning is cool, the water is refreshing, and your healing connection to the Earth doesn’t have to skip a beat. Although we typically think about grounding indoors in the winter when it’s too cold to go barefoot outside, you can use the same principles to get grounded indoors to escape the summer heat too.

What’s the Bare Minimum You Can Do to Live Longer? The Latest Study Shows It’s Less Than You Think
I often say, in almost every interview I give and with almost every patient I work with — anything is better than nothing. I am happy about you making one small change. No need to get overwhelmed or discouraged when improving your health. One minute of grounding. One glass of water. One short walk after dinner. One high quality multivitamin. Doing these things every single day is so much more joyful and inspiring then starting and stopping another diet, starting and stopping another workout plan, starting and stopping another trendy supplement. In health, literally anything is better than nothing. ...

As You Read These Words, You Are Literally Healing Yourself.
As I talked about in the beginning of this video I shared with you many years ago, I went to medical school hoping to be taught the secret that would allow me to make, and keep, people healthy. In fact, what I found out is that physicians really don’t know how to keep people healthy, and that we what we do know is confined not to health but to disease… to what can go wrong in the human body that makes us sick. And to be honest, worse than that is that out of all the things that can ...

You Have The Power To Protect Your Child’s Health For A Lifetime, Here’s How
In honor of Mother’s Day yesterday, I want to share with you one of my all time favorite medical studies. It shows how a little TLC from your mom may actually help protect your health, well into adulthood. Published in 2005 in Dialoges in Clinical Neuroscience, researchers found that the how much affection a mommy rat showed to her babies in their first week of life protected them from future stress later on in life — decreasing their stress response and even lowering stress hormone production. Researchers compared two different types of mom rats, separating them into two ...

Creating Your Own Nature Rx, No Doctor Required. I’ll Walk You Through It (& Free Printable)

That’s just one of the many reasons I’m so passionate about grounding — because it puts one of the most powerful healing modalities possible right in your own hands, freely, and you really just ...

The Latest Research On Cell Phone Radiation & 3 Things To Do About It, Today
This is a fundamental truth in medicine: the basis of how our body functions is through it’s conductivity. Every single cell in your body is conductive, every single organelle inside of each cell, every single cell membrane, the extracellular fluid around each cell, the intracellular fluid inside of each cell… yep, it’s all conductive. Which is why grounding is so powerful — the moment one single cell in your body touches the earth, this amazing conductivity grounds your entire body from head to toe, just like flipping on a light switch — in one instant — ahhh…. you are ...

Protecting Your Skin From Photoaging and Skin Cancers As We Head Towards Summer
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 the days are getting longer and the sun is shining more… but while sun exposure actually prolongs lifespan and is important to our physical and mental health, there is no denying that the UV exposure is harsh on skin. But don’t let that stop you from going outside. A large medical study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine in 2016 found that folks who avoided sun exposure actually had ...
