    Earthing and Grounding: Native vs Non-Native EMFs and Why Your Body Loves the Earth (Solo Episode)

    Episode Highlights With Katie Grounding basics: the Earth is an electron reservoir; skin contact equalizes your body’s electrical potential and lowers body voltage.Native vs non-native EMFs: native = Schumann/geomagnetic background; non-native = wiring and wireless sources. Aim to increase exposure to native signals (nature time) and reduce unnecessary non-native exposure, especially during sleep.Physiological effects discussed in studies: improved blood rheology (less RBC clumping), shifts in cortisol rhythm and HRV, reductions in pain and sleep disturbances.Why modern life disrupts it: rubber soles, synthetic floors, and high-rise livingBest outdoor practices: go barefoot on grass/soil/sand (great at sunrise!), beach walks, gardening, sitting on stone/earth, post-flight grounding, leather-soled shoes as a compromise.Moist natural surfaces conduct best.Indoor options and cautions when it comes to grounding mats and sheets.Dirty electricity concern: high-frequency transients on wiring or in soil can ride the ground; test and remediate electrical issues before relying on indoor grounding.Safety notes with thunderstorms or near energized equipment, with implanted electronics or complex medical devices.Start with 20–30 minutes daily outdoors; stack with circadian light (morning sun), movement on natural surfaces, and evening wind-down outsideUse an outlet tester and a body-voltage meter if experimenting indoors.Treat grounding as a low-risk, nature-based habit that pairs well with light, movement, hydration, and mineral balance; consider indoor gadgets optional and proceed only after due diligence.Resources Mentioned  EMF canopyGroundies earthing shoesJustine Stenger's Mitochondrial Restoration ProgramDr. Courtney Hunt on Instagram
