Chronic Pain Affects You Or Someone You Love. 5 Ways To Help Alleviate It, Naturally
I received a recent email from a reader who is dealing with the most common reason that folks seek medical care, and that is to help with chronic pain. He writes: “I had a failed lumbar fusion 1989 with pain since. No more lumbar surgeries to be done; already had shots, nerve blocks, now I take pain meds and a pain patch. I do take anti-inflammatory supplements; and my wife & I go walking 1 mile, 4x/week near our home. I’m interested and hope you can inform me of some kind of pain-relieving grounding tools.” I thought I would ...

Unusual Signs of Dehydration, Do You Have Any Of These Right Now? Plus A Dozen Ways To Fix It
It’s starting to get hot where I live, and I’ve noticed feeling drier and more dehydrated the past few days. That reminded me to remind you: drink your water. All year long, but especially as it heats up outside. Known as the Elixir of Life for good reason, water is absolutely critical to our well being in every way. In fact, a recent study published in eBioMedicine found that dehydration is actually a risk factor for premature death. Almost just as bad? It also accelerated biological aging. Meaning if you run chronically dehydrated, your body is aging faster ...

We are officially into summer now, as the summer solstice was just this past weekend! I hope you considered throwing the Summer Solstice Grounding Party I recommended for you in my June newsletter! And if you don’t get those newsletters, you can sign up for it right here: The Healing Power Of Meditation I’ve long been a fan of the health benefits of meditation, so I was really excited when a new medical study confirmed that not only does meditation significantly reduce pain, it does so in a totally unique neuropathway, completely separate from any pain ...

Your Grounding Goal This Summer? A Weekly Picnic. Here’s Why This Transforms Your Health
Why does food always taste better at a picnic? Why does your morning coffee seem so much more satisfying when you take it outside to your front doorstep? Why do you never seem to feel the same heartburn or bloating or indigestion when you eat lunch outside on your lunch break instead of inside at your desk? Why is cooking dinner over an outdoor campfire or grill so much more fulfilling than cooking the same meal indoors? That’s because eating while connected to the earth outside has a profound impact on your digestion — supporting the function of ...

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. Here are a ...

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. ...

Because Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, I hope part of your plans today involve going outside and enjoying the warmer weather!

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 ...

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)
Why You Need To Create A Nature Rx So much of healthcare, especially in the United States, is pay-to-play — the more money you have to spend, the better your health is. It’s actually so sickening that I left conventional medicine after my own health was suffering from the trauma of working in a system designed to maximize profits instead of maximizing health. 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 ...
