Let’s Do A Quick Summer Grounding Meditation Together Right Now

Grounding, Healthy Mindframe / By

    I’ve long been a fan of the health benefits of meditation, so I was really excited when a new medical study confirmed that mindfulness meditation significantly reduces pain, and does so in a totally unique neuropathway that is completely separate from any pain relief that is found through the placebo effect. Turns out, meditation modifies pain brain patterns to help break you out of repetitive pain signals.  I talk about that in this TikTok for you here:  Pain Signals In The Brain Decrease During Meditation: …and you can also read that study for yourself right here. If you […]

    The latest study to show that moving your body is good for the long term health of your brain was recently published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia in May 2025, which found that just 11 minutes of vigorous physical activity daily is associated with a lower amyloid burden and protects against brain atrophy. So my advice is to spend at least 11 minutes moving your body to the point where you get winded every single day.  This could be as easy as going up and down a flight of stairs for 11 minutes and ensuring you keep a fast

The Benefits Of Grounding To Boost Brain Health And Improve Cognition

Grounding, Medical Reports / By

    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

Grounding, Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Positive Parenting / By

    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

Improve Your Mental Health Naturally, Starting With Your Next Meal

Healthy Mindframe, Healthy Weight, Medical Reports / By

    Did you know that gluten is a neuro-irritant — meaning it causes inflammation in the brain and has been linked to cognitive decline, even directly to dementia?  I wrote this article for you back in 2014 to help explain how dementia could be considered a gluten-induced condition. More recent evidence suggests that not only does the brain inflammation that gluten causes affect your brain, it might also be affecting your mental health, including causing or worsening mood disorders like depression and anxiety. As someone who has struggled with anxiety her entire life, I am very interested to read

Healing Artwork, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By

    As a physician, every single cell in our body literally seems like a miracle to me. How it functions, replicates, repairs, lives, dies.  The fact that our skin is self healing, our bones fuse back together, we breathe and our heart beats while we use our body to do other things all day long without even thinking about it, how we create life, how little humans grow within us and are born. The fact that all of it, almost every bit of it, comes from cosmic dust and stars — it’s all just so damn magical. We are
