84. Reconnecting with Nature Unveiling the Science Behind Grounding with Dr. Henry Ealy
I have to admit, I was a bit confused when I first heard today's topic—grounding. Sure, I walk on grass and dip my toes in lakes, but I didn’t quite grasp the full picture.
Luckily, our guest, Dr. Henry Ealy, is here to enlighten us. He’s a naturopathic physician with a background in engineering, making him the perfect guide to explore grounding’s deeper benefits.
Dr. Ealy explains how we spend most of our day insulated from Mother Earth, missing out on the benefits of connecting with nature by walking barefoot or swimming in a lake. One fascinating benefit he mentions is improved sleep through grounding. He also talks about something called Zeta potential, which involves red blood cells moving more freely when we're grounded. He even called grounding “nature’s Coumadin” due to its blood-thinning effects.
You really need to tune in to get the full scoop. I've been diving into the research and science he shared, and I must say, I'm hooked. I absolutely loved today's episode, and I think you will too.

Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple Cider
Let me tell you about my favorite mocktail: Martinelli's Sparkling Apple Cider. It's a fantastic substitute for champagne and perfect for summer drinks.
After my breast cancer diagnosis, I became more mindful of what I consume after a 2016 study from the University of Houston revealed that alcohol can fuel estrogen, promoting breast cancer growth. According to breastcancer.org, just three drinks a week can increase breast cancer risk by 15%.
You can find Martinelli's Apple Cider everywhere. Enjoy your summer and sip on some delightful mocktails!
