Great information! I'm a huge grounding fan. I have grounding sheets and a grounding mat. I can tell a big difference in my sleep with the grounding sheets.
Growing up, I was barefoot all the time—running through the neighborhood, exploring the creek, and walking on pavement without a second thought. It’s wild to think that all those childhood adventures might have actually been helping my body fight inflammation. Do you think modern shoes and pavement have disconnected us too much from the Earth? I'd recommend reading "Born to Run" as an exploration into modern shoes and why they often hurt our feet.
I actually quit caffeine three years ago after realizing it was fueling a vicious cycle. An afternoon crash would send me back for more coffee, which then wrecked my sleep. Now, hitting the gym and running every morning gives me all the energy I need. Have you ever considered cutting it out completely, or do you feel like the benefits outweigh the downsides? Once you make it through that caffeine headache, I feel like we are better off without it.
In the documentary, Clint Ober points to (what he believes) the widespread use of synthetic plastic and rubber to be a leading cause of diseased states rising since the 1950's because we have lost connectivity with the earth. Very interesting watch. I will certainly add "Born to Run" to my book list. I've been curious about shoe technologies and how they affect our gait, with most recently focusing on strengthening my toes and wider tow boxes. Looking forward to it!
I, personally, don't consume caffeine regularly. It's not something that I crave and have had no issues cutting it out. I feel there are more negatives than positives. I'm not against a cup of coffee here and there, but it does give me the jitters for an hour or so after. I do drink the occasional Green Tea w/ honey, which doesn't stimulate me near to the level that cup of joe does.

I love to hear this! Thank you for sharing! What grounding sheets and mat do you recommend?
Do you have specific protocols that you have been working on?
