Hot Or Not: Adrenal Cocktails, Beef Tallow Benefits, Bee Venom Therapy, Poop Transplants & Grounding Mats (Ask Me Anything!)

Grounding Science

Grounding mats are designed to mimic the electrical currents we naturally receive from the earth, aiming to support circadian rhythms, hormonal balance, and nervous system regulation. Will Cole explains that while some people may not notice significant changes, others find these mats beneficial for sleep and energy issues. He cites a 2011 study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, which found improvements in electrolytes, blood sugar, thyroid hormone levels, and inflammatory markers with grounding practices 1.

   

Nature Connection

Walking barefoot outside offers similar benefits to grounding mats, providing a free and accessible way to connect with nature. Emily Miller highlights the importance of these tools for those in urban settings or with limited outdoor access. She emphasizes that while grounding mats are useful, simply spending time outdoors can be equally effective 2.
