“Grounding is to be connected to the earth and anything that is conductive and connected to earth will have an electrical charge.” “When you have any sort of pain in your body, or anxiety, or irritability- the longer you go it will manifest as arthritis, MS, Lupus, Cancer.”  What is grounding? How is grounding tied to inflammation in the body? How can grounding help combat disease? On this episode we sit down with the “Grandfather of Grounding”, Clint Ober. Clint is CEO of Earth FX Inc., a research and development company located in Palm Springs, California. He first learned of grounding when installing Cable TV systems in Billings, Montana in the early 1960’s. He is well known for his extensive findings on grounding and his book called “ Earthing.” Time Stamps 1:00 Clint Ober intro 1:36 What is grounding 4:12 What are ways to ground? 7:20 Animals in nature 10:45 Chronic inflammation + grounding 13:13 Ober’s patient story about Lupus 18:00 Cattle and grounding 20:28 Is grounding for everyone? 29:41 How long should we ground? 28:45 Vitamin D 32:10 Grounding mats Great Quotes “Our bodies are the most electrical thing on the planet.

They don’t have cardiovascular disease, they don’t have plaque on their teeth, they don’t have lupus, MS, fibromyalgia, they don’t have this host of modern health disorders.” “People who have chronic inflammation, when they first get grounded they can feel it. Like a battery being charged.” “When you have any sort of pain in your body, or anxiety, or irritability- the longer you go it will manifest as arthritis, MS, Lupus, Cancer.”  Learn more: Earthing.com

“We can sit in pain and then we start to feel numb, and they say time heals all wounds and we may think we are over it, but most of the time we haven’t healed and things like bitterness and anger take the place of pain.” Everyone has it, but there are few who are willing to deal with it before it surfaces in unprecedented ways. We are talking about trauma, and its ever-evolving impact on both us, our communities, and our relationships.   What does trauma look like and what does it look like when we are just “dealing” with it?

What are environmental toxins? How do they affect our daily living? What is greenwashing? Why are our water regulations in the USA so behind? What is BPA?  There seems like a laundry list of issues that we could list out when addressing our toxic environmental health crisis. So where do we start, and what changes can we make as a priority to a nontoxic life? Today we sit down with Dr. Cohen to discuss. TIMESTAMPS 1:13 Dr. Cohen’s background 3:00 Environmental toxins 4:50 Greenwashing 6:30 Phthalates and Parabens 7:23 Dr. Cohen’s Golden Retriever 11:00 The importance of drinking water 18:20 The laws of drinking water 23:55 Managing radiation + tech 26:00 The refrigerator checklist 31:00 What is BPA?

“In this country, there are no regulatory bodies that oversee the labeling or ingredients that go into these products.”

“The US has only removed five chemicals and Europe has removed at least 1200.”

“Our municipal tap water serves about 250 million Americans, whereas the rest is well water. There are only 91 chemicals monitored. Currently, in 2020 we have around 90,000 chemicals that can get into the drinking water. So we realized that this monitoring of the drinking water is built on old laws and old infrastructure.”

“When it comes to living non-toxic, we should go for progress, not perfection. “

“Organic frozen food is far less expensive than organic fresh food. We teach people how to wash their food if it’s not organic. We also talk about the dirty dozen.”

“You want to stay away from plastics in all its forms. BPA is a plastic liner to most Tupperware and it’s even on receipts and also on things like airplane tickets and car tickets.”
