How Grounding Decreases Your Anxiety Immediately & Keeps It Down Long Term
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
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
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 ...

How To Repair The Sun Damage To Your Skin From Labor Day Weekend
Well over the holiday weekend I got a lot of much needed sunshine, and I hope you did too. 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 ...

Microplastics Are A Measurable Portion Of Your Body, Here’s How To Decrease That Amount
We’ve known about the toxic effect of microplastics on our environment for a long time now, and the dramatic effect it has on our oceans, on air quality, and to the wildlife living everywhere on earth.

What is just now becoming more and more clear is how much these plastics are becoming part of our own body composition and affecting our health. Research over just the past five years has revealed the extent of plastic embedded in all of our major organ systems. Did ...

Using The Earth Outside To Clear Your Head And Help You Think
Do you like spending time in nature? Do you feel like you think more clearly after you have spent a little time outside? It’s not just a coincidence, your brain is actually being put into a healing state and helping you think more clearly, and we have several great medical studies to explain why. We already know that grounding to the earth outside immediately impacts our brains. This fantastic medical study, published in 2018, documents the brain wave shifts that happen near instantaneously, within milliseconds, recorded via an EEG (electroencephalogram) when the human body is grounded. Alpha wave patterns ...
