Aging From Inflammation Is Totally Optional. Here’s Why & How You Can Reverse It

Grounding, Medical Reports / By

    More evidence than ever shows that inflammation is not driven by biological age, but rather our lifestyle and environemental factors.  As I’ve talked about extensively on my blog right here, biological aging can be simplified down to a balance between inflammation that accrues over a lifetime vs. your body’s stem cell regeneration. Organ damage as a result of accrued inflammation is something that we associate so strongly with aging that it’s now called “Inflammaging” — depicted in the graphic below.  But while inflammation does drive damage to our organ systems and decreases our body’s ability to repair and […]

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

These Medical Studies Show How Grounding Benefits Build Over Time

Grounding, Medical Reports / By

      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

Grounding, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By

    I recently attended a cutting edge medical conference on geriatric medicine and aging, full of updates on the latest medical research on what contributes to aging and what reduces our decline in function as we age. And again and again, every single factor that contributes to aging that was discussed at the meeting  had me sitting back in my chair thinking… “grounding would help with that.” One presenter talked about how the main component of aging is increased inflammatory cytokines and yep… we have studies that show grounding significantly reduces the levels of inflammatory cytokine levels in the

Healthy Mindframe, Organic Lifestyle, Soul Healing / By

  Well today I turned 50!  Woot! So here is how I am approaching my very first day of being 50.
