The best way to reduce chronic Inflammation Grounding nutrition Cold exposure Na
00:00hello everyone and welcome to the cold hello everyone and welcome to the cold feet podcast and i have the privilege to feet podcast and i have the privilege to feet podcast and i have the privilege to have today straight from where are you have today straight from where are you have today straight from where are you flying from los angeles los angeles the flying from los angeles los angeles the flying from los angeles los angeles the one and only tai one and only tai one and only tai who is the ceo and founder of grounds who is the ceo and founder of grounds who is the ceo and founder of grounds grounds is a shoe company which tai will grounds is a shoe company which tai will grounds is a shoe company which tai will be telling us out shortly which is not be telling us out shortly which is not be telling us out shortly which is not only a barefoot and minimalist natural only a barefoot and minimalist natural only a barefoot and minimalist natural footwear company but it has grounding a footwear company but it has grounding a footwear company but it has grounding a grounding plug on it now before you grounding plug on it now before you grounding plug on it now before you start getting all hocus and pocus nuts start getting all hocus and pocus nuts start getting all hocus and pocus nuts and saying what's grounding and what's and saying what's grounding and what's and saying what's grounding and what's earthing which is exactly what we're earthing which is exactly what we're earthing which is exactly what we're going to explain going to explain going to explain on this podcast on this podcast on this podcast we actually did a test and checked if we actually did a test and checked if we actually did a test and checked if the earthing if the earth patch that i the earthing if the earth patch that i the earthing if the earth patch that i have in the garden is grounded and we have in the garden is grounded and we have in the garden is grounded and we checked if this ice bath is grounded and checked if this ice bath is grounded and checked if this ice bath is grounded and both are so we're going to dive into both are so we're going to dive into both are so we're going to dive into today what is grounding how does it today what is grounding how does it today what is grounding how does it benefit from us and how can we actually benefit from us and how can we actually benefit from us and how can we actually ground through our bodies or through ground through our bodies or through ground through our bodies or through different uh shoes or different devices different uh shoes or different devices different uh shoes or different devices so ty can you please introduce yourself so ty can you please introduce yourself so ty can you please introduce yourself and just tell us more about you and just tell us more about you and just tell us more about you absolutely so absolutely so absolutely so again i um i well my name is ty i again i um i well my name is ty i again i um i well my name is ty i started this company a couple years ago started this company a couple years ago started this company a couple years ago i've always been um
01:00i've always been um i've always been um an advocate of healthy living an advocate of healthy living an advocate of healthy living i think in our i think in our i think in our um in our circles it's called maybe um in our circles it's called maybe um in our circles it's called maybe biohacking biohacking biohacking it is ben greenfield baby yeah it is ben greenfield baby yeah it is ben greenfield baby yeah absolutely i mean what we're doing now absolutely i mean what we're doing now absolutely i mean what we're doing now is basically definitely biohacking yeah is basically definitely biohacking yeah is basically definitely biohacking yeah i do this every every not every day i i do this every every not every day i i do this every every not every day i wish i could i don't live that close to wish i could i don't live that close to wish i could i don't live that close to the beach but i'm at the beach in los the beach but i'm at the beach in los the beach but i'm at the beach in los angeles which is freezing angeles which is freezing angeles which is freezing year-round and i'm year-round and i'm year-round and i'm winter summer what have you i'm in the winter summer what have you i'm in the winter summer what have you i'm in the water doing this so actually i mean i water doing this so actually i mean i water doing this so actually i mean i wasn't we're supposed to be talking here wasn't we're supposed to be talking here wasn't we're supposed to be talking here for like 30 minutes for like 30 minutes for like 30 minutes i i think i can do it i i think i can do it i i think i can do it so our record in the ice bath is 90 so our record in the ice bath is 90 so our record in the ice bath is 90 minutes 90 minutes where we did a minutes 90 minutes where we did a minutes 90 minutes where we did a podcast and tactical development and podcast and tactical development and podcast and tactical development and there's so much to say about the idf is there's so much to say about the idf is there's so much to say about the idf is doing it all wrong and then we had a guy doing it all wrong and then we had a guy doing it all wrong and then we had a guy who's like who's like who's like he's a marathoner and he's like he lost he's a marathoner and he's like he lost he's a marathoner and he's like he lost like 100 kilo and he's like the ultimate like 100 kilo and he's like the ultimate like 100 kilo and he's like the ultimate beast and he lasted three seconds three beast and he lasted three seconds three beast and he lasted three seconds three seconds so like there's a very high seconds so like there's a very high seconds so like there's a very high standard tippy but there's also a very standard tippy but there's also a very standard tippy but there's also a very low uh rough there's a low minimum so low uh rough there's a low minimum so low uh rough there's a low minimum so i'm doing okay i'm chilling you're i'm doing okay i'm chilling you're i'm doing okay i'm chilling you're chilling yeah all right all right that's
02:00chilling yeah all right all right that's chilling yeah all right all right that's good good good so i'll tell you a little bit about my so i'll tell you a little bit about my so i'll tell you a little bit about my story right i mean how like this all story right i mean how like this all story right i mean how like this all started or what do you want me to start started or what do you want me to start started or what do you want me to start so i would love for you to tell us you so i would love for you to tell us you so i would love for you to tell us you know team bit of your background and know team bit of your background and know team bit of your background and then you could tell us what drove you to then you could tell us what drove you to then you could tell us what drove you to start a minimalist footwear company that start a minimalist footwear company that start a minimalist footwear company that also has the grounding ability for sure also has the grounding ability for sure also has the grounding ability for sure okay so i mean my background is in um in okay so i mean my background is in um in okay so i mean my background is in um in health and um not fitness but more the health and um not fitness but more the health and um not fitness but more the uh uh uh the food side of it i studied food the food side of it i studied food the food side of it i studied food science and nutrition science and nutrition science and nutrition that's my major in school that's my major in school that's my major in school um um um initially i had a initially i had a initially i had a food company it was an energy bar we food company it was an energy bar we food company it was an energy bar we made energy bars made energy bars made energy bars all natural all natural all natural nothing i mean nothing i mean nothing i mean no no no grains no grains no grains no sugar it was completely sugar it was completely sugar it was completely natural natural natural and then we evolved you know over the and then we evolved you know over the and then we evolved you know over the years to some other things and we end up years to some other things and we end up years to some other things and we end up here um here um here um how did i end up with how did i end up with how did i end up with making shoes and grounding so i mean it making shoes and grounding so i mean it making shoes and grounding so i mean it starts with uh kind of personal health starts with uh kind of personal health starts with uh kind of personal health story which i think a lot of many of us story which i think a lot of many of us story which i think a lot of many of us have in a sense right have in a sense right have in a sense right um i i was diagnosed when i was about um i i was diagnosed when i was about um i i was diagnosed when i was about 20. i was diagnosed with crohn's
03:0020. i was diagnosed with crohn's 20. i was diagnosed with crohn's for people that don't know crohn's is a for people that don't know crohn's is a for people that don't know crohn's is a intestinal condition uh it's an intestinal condition uh it's an intestinal condition uh it's an inflammatory condition inflammatory condition inflammatory condition nobody knows what the cause is i mean nobody knows what the cause is i mean nobody knows what the cause is i mean there's a trigger to it nobody knows why there's a trigger to it nobody knows why there's a trigger to it nobody knows why and how it starts and how it starts and how it starts um but um i decided to do a lot of um but um i decided to do a lot of um but um i decided to do a lot of research and through research i found research and through research i found research and through research i found that the best way to treat this other that the best way to treat this other that the best way to treat this other than medication of course which than medication of course which than medication of course which medication always just kind of coats the medication always just kind of coats the medication always just kind of coats the problem as you know the best way to deal with this is by the best way to deal with this is by eating well by eating a certain specific eating well by eating a certain specific eating well by eating a certain specific diet which i don't know if you want me diet which i don't know if you want me diet which i don't know if you want me to get into it's not really related but to get into it's not really related but to get into it's not really related but it's you know the actual diet it's you know the actual diet it's you know the actual diet and i've been doing i've been following and i've been doing i've been following and i've been doing i've been following this diet it's very similar to this diet it's very similar to this diet it's very similar to um to uh it's called a specific um to uh it's called a specific um to uh it's called a specific carbohydrate diet i basically don't eat carbohydrate diet i basically don't eat carbohydrate diet i basically don't eat sugar what we all know today to be sugar what we all know today to be sugar what we all know today to be healthy i started about 20 years ago healthy i started about 20 years ago healthy i started about 20 years ago when fats were considered the devil when fats were considered the devil when fats were considered the devil right right now so my my diet is full of right right now so my my diet is full of right right now so my my diet is full of fat four delicious protein full of fat four delicious protein full of fat four delicious protein full of vegetables not too many fruits you know
04:00vegetables not too many fruits you know vegetables not too many fruits you know some usually very easy on the small ones some usually very easy on the small ones some usually very easy on the small ones uh no sugar of course when i'm on uh no sugar of course when i'm on uh no sugar of course when i'm on vacation achieved i'm not the same human vacation achieved i'm not the same human vacation achieved i'm not the same human being i'm a human being right being i'm a human being right being i'm a human being right anyways anyways anyways so stemming from there i've always been so stemming from there i've always been so stemming from there i've always been interested in health and and ways to interested in health and and ways to interested in health and and ways to reduce inflammation reduce inflammation reduce inflammation and to research and you know with and to research and you know with and to research and you know with i stumbled upon upon that you know the i stumbled upon upon that you know the i stumbled upon upon that you know the concept of grounding i mean shoes was concept of grounding i mean shoes was concept of grounding i mean shoes was not the concept to begin with it was not the concept to begin with it was not the concept to begin with it was grounded grounded grounded and um grounding is is closely related and um grounding is is closely related and um grounding is is closely related to to to reduction in inflammatory response it's reduction in inflammatory response it's reduction in inflammatory response it's been proven by the way proven like right been proven by the way proven like right been proven by the way proven like right actually science case study i'm a little actually science case study i'm a little actually science case study i'm a little disappointed that there's not enough disappointed that there's not enough disappointed that there's not enough science there and then it's not as well science there and then it's not as well science there and then it's not as well known known known by people as it should be because i by people as it should be because i by people as it should be because i think it's a you know it's a new think it's a you know it's a new think it's a you know it's a new frontier in a sense uh so yeah so i started practicing it uh so yeah so i started practicing it for myself and then it just evolves um for myself and then it just evolves um for myself and then it just evolves um so i mean i'm at the beach all the time so i mean i'm at the beach all the time so i mean i'm at the beach all the time i i go barefoot as much as i can of i i go barefoot as much as i can of i i go barefoot as much as i can of course but then you know i figured okay
05:00course but then you know i figured okay course but then you know i figured okay how do i ground myself more how do i ground myself more how do i ground myself more now you before or you know this video now you before or you know this video now you before or you know this video you asked me about um you asked me about um you asked me about um rounding sheets right grounding blankets rounding sheets right grounding blankets rounding sheets right grounding blankets and all that stuff those are good i mean and all that stuff those are good i mean and all that stuff those are good i mean they're all great i mean as long as they're all great i mean as long as they're all great i mean as long as you're grounding yourself with the wire you're grounding yourself with the wire you're grounding yourself with the wire to the ground the effect is similar but to the ground the effect is similar but to the ground the effect is similar but i wanted something that you know we're i wanted something that you know we're i wanted something that you know we're we're walking all day we're on our feet we're walking all day we're on our feet we're walking all day we're on our feet all right i mean at the office i mean all right i mean at the office i mean all right i mean at the office i mean these are places that are very hard to these are places that are very hard to these are places that are very hard to ground in ground in ground in natural environments right we have natural environments right we have natural environments right we have synthetic flooring or just point that's synthetic flooring or just point that's synthetic flooring or just point that's just not grounding in any way right we just not grounding in any way right we just not grounding in any way right we live in a society that almost is live in a society that almost is live in a society that almost is detrimental to our health it is it is i detrimental to our health it is it is i detrimental to our health it is it is i mean with the phone the phone is us you mean with the phone the phone is us you mean with the phone the phone is us you know our on ourselves and in our pocket know our on ourselves and in our pocket know our on ourselves and in our pocket the whole day bluetooth headset the whole day bluetooth headset the whole day bluetooth headset bluetooth which i don't use bluetooth which i don't use bluetooth which i don't use um um i mean i don't use even when i have the i mean i don't use even when i have the i mean i don't use even when i have the phone in my pocket most times i put on phone in my pocket most times i put on phone in my pocket most times i put on airplane mode i mean it's not perfect airplane mode i mean it's not perfect airplane mode i mean it's not perfect but it's better than correct they're not but it's better than correct they're not but it's better than correct they're not having it on airplane mode having it on airplane mode having it on airplane mode yeah so um i just looked you know on the yeah so um i just looked you know on the yeah so um i just looked you know on the market and i figured okay there's no
06:00market and i figured okay there's no market and i figured okay there's no i think i think the connection was made i think i think the connection was made i think i think the connection was made between shoes and grounding is i wanted between shoes and grounding is i wanted between shoes and grounding is i wanted to shoot for myself i just wanted to to shoot for myself i just wanted to to shoot for myself i just wanted to show i mean i think it's most of us show i mean i think it's most of us show i mean i think it's most of us let's start a company because we find a let's start a company because we find a let's start a company because we find a niche that we want that doesn't exist niche that we want that doesn't exist niche that we want that doesn't exist yet right right and from what i saw yet right right and from what i saw yet right right and from what i saw there were some some products out there there were some some products out there there were some some products out there but nothing fit but nothing fit but nothing fit what i wanted i mean there's there's what i wanted i mean there's there's what i wanted i mean there's there's sandals i'm not gonna mention any you sandals i'm not gonna mention any you sandals i'm not gonna mention any you know other brand names but i mean know other brand names but i mean know other brand names but i mean there's sandals there are grounding there's sandals there are grounding there's sandals there are grounding there's other shoes that you know there's other shoes that you know there's other shoes that you know supposedly you're grounding supposedly you're grounding supposedly you're grounding i just couldn't find something that fit i just couldn't find something that fit i just couldn't find something that fit the entire package you know that there the entire package you know that there the entire package you know that there was a package on in a sense was a package on in a sense was a package on in a sense so i took i took a concept of i mean a so i took i took a concept of i mean a so i took i took a concept of i mean a very traditional shoe that exists for a very traditional shoe that exists for a very traditional shoe that exists for a hundred years and i tweaked it a little hundred years and i tweaked it a little hundred years and i tweaked it a little bit i just i redesigned it in a sense i bit i just i redesigned it in a sense i bit i just i redesigned it in a sense i mean mean mean i didn't invent the shoe the shoe is i didn't invent the shoe the shoe is i didn't invent the shoe the shoe is nothing it's all natural nothing it's all natural nothing it's all natural the shoe is uh is made of leather it's the shoe is uh is made of leather it's the shoe is uh is made of leather it's beautiful right it's it's good for your beautiful right it's it's good for your beautiful right it's it's good for your feet feet feet it's uh there's nothing synthetic in it it's uh there's nothing synthetic in it it's uh there's nothing synthetic in it you know you know you know nothing i mean in the sense it's natural nothing i mean in the sense it's natural nothing i mean in the sense it's natural it's a natural shoe
07:00it's a natural shoe it's a natural shoe i mean the vegans among us amongst us i mean the vegans among us amongst us i mean the vegans among us amongst us might say you know it's it's might say you know it's it's might say you know it's it's it's a product you know it's a product you know it's a product you know an animal i don't think you can please an animal i don't think you can please an animal i don't think you can please everyone everyone everyone right hopefully in the future we'll find right hopefully in the future we'll find right hopefully in the future we'll find i mean okay so i'm looking for a i mean okay so i'm looking for a i mean okay so i'm looking for a material that's material that's material that's vegan but also natural and at the moment vegan but also natural and at the moment vegan but also natural and at the moment i think with the science that we have in i think with the science that we have in i think with the science that we have in technology we have there isn't any pain technology we have there isn't any pain technology we have there isn't any pain that's fitting at the moment at least that's fitting at the moment at least that's fitting at the moment at least what i'm looking for what i'm looking for what i'm looking for so we decided to go with it we made so we decided to go with it we made so we decided to go with it we made these other shoes we um we redesigned these other shoes we um we redesigned these other shoes we um we redesigned them too so most of our shoes today are them too so most of our shoes today are them too so most of our shoes today are our point right i mean if you look at our point right i mean if you look at our point right i mean if you look at your shoe right now i mean the audience your shoe right now i mean the audience your shoe right now i mean the audience you know right now if they look down and you know right now if they look down and you know right now if they look down and get their shoes get their shoes get their shoes they'll find that most of them are they'll find that most of them are they'll find that most of them are pointing now pointing now pointing now we've grown accustomed to it i mean this we've grown accustomed to it i mean this we've grown accustomed to it i mean this is the normal is the normal is the normal shape that we're looking for when we shape that we're looking for when we shape that we're looking for when we look at a shoe that's not the shape we look at a shoe that's not the shape we look at a shoe that's not the shape we find it weird like our brain can wrap find it weird like our brain can wrap find it weird like our brain can wrap around it in a sense around it in a sense around it in a sense so i'm trying to explain to people that so i'm trying to explain to people that so i'm trying to explain to people that our natural shape and then the natural
08:00our natural shape and then the natural our natural shape and then the natural shape of the foot is basically the same shape of the foot is basically the same shape of the foot is basically the same the same shape as as your hand i mean the same shape as as your hand i mean the same shape as as your hand i mean it's it's it's a display type of shape it goes like a display type of shape it goes like a display type of shape it goes like this it doesn't go like this this it doesn't go like this this it doesn't go like this so we develop our shoes to look like so we develop our shoes to look like so we develop our shoes to look like your foot your foot your foot in a sense i mean there's again there's in a sense i mean there's again there's in a sense i mean there's again there's many many many wide many many many wide many many many wide toe box shoes companies out there or toe box shoes companies out there or toe box shoes companies out there or another one another one another one what we're doing is we're bringing what we're doing is we're bringing what we're doing is we're bringing grounding and natural elements to the grounding and natural elements to the grounding and natural elements to the shoe shoe shoe in addition to in addition to in addition to what we consider we believe that is the what we consider we believe that is the what we consider we believe that is the optimal shape optimal shape optimal shape you know the shoe you know the shoe you know the shoe letting your feet be letting your feet be letting your feet be natural in the natural state natural in the natural state natural in the natural state feel the ground feel the ground feel the ground and ground at the same time and ground at the same time and ground at the same time yeah i totally love the first thought yeah i totally love the first thought yeah i totally love the first thought when i got the shoe the first impression when i got the shoe the first impression when i got the shoe the first impression that i had when i pulled out of the bag that i had when i pulled out of the bag that i had when i pulled out of the bag was you even see the stitching like it was you even see the stitching like it was you even see the stitching like it gives a very if you can call synthetics gives a very if you can call synthetics gives a very if you can call synthetics like x the shoe is y it's a total like x the shoe is y it's a total like x the shoe is y it's a total opposite end spectrum of any of like the opposite end spectrum of any of like the opposite end spectrum of any of like the artificial materials it smells like it artificial materials it smells like it artificial materials it smells like it was freshly was freshly was freshly slaughtered from the cat like freshly slaughtered from the cat like freshly slaughtered from the cat like freshly skinned from the buffalo
09:00skinned from the buffalo skinned from the buffalo and it's the copper plug is a really and it's the copper plug is a really and it's the copper plug is a really cool addition and even though there are cool addition and even though there are cool addition and even though there are many many barefoot you brands out there many many barefoot you brands out there many many barefoot you brands out there i feel that you are bringing something i feel that you are bringing something i feel that you are bringing something new to the table because there's very i new to the table because there's very i new to the table because there's very i can count on my fingers on one hand how can count on my fingers on one hand how can count on my fingers on one hand how many companies promote the fact that many companies promote the fact that many companies promote the fact that their shoes are grounding and how many their shoes are grounding and how many their shoes are grounding and how many can actually back it up and you just can actually back it up and you just can actually back it up and you just backed it up for me so that's the first backed it up for me so that's the first backed it up for me so that's the first thank you thank you thank you yeah i mean another also some you yeah i mean another also some you yeah i mean another also some you mentioning the rivet the copper rivet mentioning the rivet the copper rivet mentioning the rivet the copper rivet there's there's another element to there's there's another element to there's there's another element to copper being very very healthy for your copper being very very healthy for your copper being very very healthy for your for your body well here we go copper ink for your body well here we go copper ink for your body well here we go copper ink copper ring right there so i mean i mean copper ring right there so i mean i mean copper ring right there so i mean i mean there's again many many studies and many there's again many many studies and many there's again many many studies and many many uh beliefs many uh beliefs many uh beliefs you know the copper is good for us so you know the copper is good for us so you know the copper is good for us so you know that's another element to the you know that's another element to the you know that's another element to the show so we try to take all these show so we try to take all these show so we try to take all these elements and combine them in one product elements and combine them in one product elements and combine them in one product as best as we could as best as we could as best as we could i think i think copper is similar to i think i think copper is similar to i think i think copper is similar to let's say color therapy which is what i let's say color therapy which is what i let's say color therapy which is what i have in my sauna have in my sauna have in my sauna it's not something that's you know it's not something that's you know it's not something that's you know backed by all science but there is backed by all science but there is backed by all science but there is studies in it and the same thing with studies in it and the same thing with studies in it and the same thing with this grounding court until now this grounding court until now this grounding court until now when there's something that's what we when there's something that's what we when there's something that's what we call either pseudoscience or not fully
10:00call either pseudoscience or not fully call either pseudoscience or not fully backed i'm much more likely as a backed i'm much more likely as a backed i'm much more likely as a biohacker to try it as long as it biohacker to try it as long as it biohacker to try it as long as it doesn't harm me right if someone tells doesn't harm me right if someone tells doesn't harm me right if someone tells me lick dirt from the floor it will me lick dirt from the floor it will me lick dirt from the floor it will increase your intestinal bacteria you do increase your intestinal bacteria you do increase your intestinal bacteria you do it as long as i don't get sick i'll do it as long as i don't get sick i'll do it as long as i don't get sick i'll do it and then someone tells me walk it and then someone tells me walk it and then someone tells me walk barefoot and step on poop as long as i barefoot and step on poop as long as i barefoot and step on poop as long as i don't get sick i'll do it and guess what don't get sick i'll do it and guess what don't get sick i'll do it and guess what because i have a strong immune system i because i have a strong immune system i because i have a strong immune system i don't get sick so i'm much more likely don't get sick so i'm much more likely don't get sick so i'm much more likely to do things which are probable or to do things which are probable or to do things which are probable or possibly benefit from my health as long possibly benefit from my health as long possibly benefit from my health as long as they don't harm me or the others as they don't harm me or the others as they don't harm me or the others around me absolutely speaking of eating around me absolutely speaking of eating around me absolutely speaking of eating dirt i think that's an amazing dirt i think that's an amazing dirt i think that's an amazing amazing idea amazing idea amazing idea kids do it all the time or they used to kids do it all the time or they used to kids do it all the time or they used to do their boogers yeah eat third i mean do their boogers yeah eat third i mean do their boogers yeah eat third i mean as long as it's natural either yeah and as long as it's natural either yeah and as long as it's natural either yeah and not of course not of course not of course it makes sense yeah i mean my dog and it makes sense yeah i mean my dog and it makes sense yeah i mean my dog and rabbit i mean they've been eating dirt rabbit i mean they've been eating dirt rabbit i mean they've been eating dirt for quite a while now they're doing for quite a while now they're doing for quite a while now they're doing something right they're doing something something right they're doing something something right they're doing something right oh and one more thing so right oh and one more thing so right oh and one more thing so back to grounding yeah i'm talking about back to grounding yeah i'm talking about back to grounding yeah i'm talking about dogs i mean they walk barefoot all day dogs i mean they walk barefoot all day dogs i mean they walk barefoot all day long they're ground their paw right long they're ground their paw right long they're ground their paw right their paw they're grounding consistently their paw they're grounding consistently their paw they're grounding consistently as long as we let them walk on on as long as we let them walk on on as long as we let them walk on on grounding materials if you touch your grounding materials if you touch your grounding materials if you touch your dog and he's touching the ground you're dog and he's touching the ground you're dog and he's touching the ground you're also grounded yes yeah and if you have a
11:00also grounded yes yeah and if you have a also grounded yes yeah and if you have a leash that's grounding you can also leash that's grounding you can also leash that's grounding you can also ground that's true too ground that's true too ground that's true too if you touch this tree right now i mean if you touch this tree right now i mean if you touch this tree right now i mean we're grounding because we're having a we're grounding because we're having a we're grounding because we're having a cable but like holding this grounds us cable but like holding this grounds us cable but like holding this grounds us you know this yeah you know this yeah you know this yeah the expression tree hugger is really the expression tree hugger is really the expression tree hugger is really something else absolutely tree huggers something else absolutely tree huggers something else absolutely tree huggers are doing it right absolutely now i want are doing it right absolutely now i want are doing it right absolutely now i want to really dive into the grounding world to really dive into the grounding world to really dive into the grounding world so i loved your intro i very much so i loved your intro i very much so i loved your intro i very much appreciate you doing thanks so much for appreciate you doing thanks so much for appreciate you doing thanks so much for spending a friday afternoon chilling spending a friday afternoon chilling spending a friday afternoon chilling with me thank you for inviting me hell with me thank you for inviting me hell with me thank you for inviting me hell yeah very exciting when i said ice bath yeah very exciting when i said ice bath yeah very exciting when i said ice bath and you got really excited i had a and you got really excited i had a and you got really excited i had a feeling there was another layer to you feeling there was another layer to you feeling there was another layer to you that i didn't get know yet and i just that i didn't get know yet and i just that i didn't get know yet and i just discovered it michael hacker cold discovered it michael hacker cold discovered it michael hacker cold exposure i'm liking what i'm hearing exposure i'm liking what i'm hearing exposure i'm liking what i'm hearing so can you explain what grounding is so can you explain what grounding is so can you explain what grounding is because we didn't really explain that because we didn't really explain that because we didn't really explain that yet right that's a great question yet right that's a great question yet right that's a great question because i feel like you know there's a because i feel like you know there's a because i feel like you know there's a lot of talk about grounding when i even lot of talk about grounding when i even lot of talk about grounding when i even when i describe grounding to people or when i describe grounding to people or when i describe grounding to people or when i tell them you know i have a when i tell them you know i have a when i tell them you know i have a rounding shoe they're saying oh rounding shoe they're saying oh rounding shoe they're saying oh grounding like you know doing yoga no no grounding like you know doing yoga no no grounding like you know doing yoga no no no no they say they see it differently no no they say they see it differently no no they say they see it differently they don't understand like the uh the they don't understand like the uh the they don't understand like the uh the technical technical technical or the um or the um or the um the physical the physical the physical aspect of it i think it's a uh it's a
12:00aspect of it i think it's a uh it's a aspect of it i think it's a uh it's a concept like a spiritual concept right concept like a spiritual concept right concept like a spiritual concept right and it's sure and it is right exactly i and it's sure and it is right exactly i and it's sure and it is right exactly i was going to say 100 there's a spiritual was going to say 100 there's a spiritual was going to say 100 there's a spiritual concept to grounding as well concept to grounding as well concept to grounding as well but it's like we've proven and you'll but it's like we've proven and you'll but it's like we've proven and you'll show it once you edit the video you'll show it once you edit the video you'll show it once you edit the video you'll show what we did absolutely inside of show what we did absolutely inside of show what we did absolutely inside of the pool the pool the pool grounding is basically taking a a vessel grounding is basically taking a a vessel grounding is basically taking a a vessel a conductive vessel or a a conductive vessel or a a conductive vessel or a grounding of the explain i think the grounding of the explain i think the grounding of the explain i think the simplest way simplest layman's terms an simplest way simplest layman's terms an simplest way simplest layman's terms an outlet in the wall yeah right right in outlet in the wall yeah right right in outlet in the wall yeah right right in the in your kitchen the in your kitchen the in your kitchen is connected to a grounding element is connected to a grounding element is connected to a grounding element why if there's a surcharge in why if there's a surcharge in why if there's a surcharge in in the electric system in the house you in the electric system in the house you in the electric system in the house you want i mean it's a safety feature what want i mean it's a safety feature what want i mean it's a safety feature what it does it takes a charge it does it takes a charge it does it takes a charge from anything that conducts electricity from anything that conducts electricity from anything that conducts electricity and dissipates it it just neutralizes and dissipates it it just neutralizes and dissipates it it just neutralizes the car it takes it pulls it from the the car it takes it pulls it from the the car it takes it pulls it from the receptacle from that whatever object is receptacle from that whatever object is receptacle from that whatever object is being uh charged being uh charged being uh charged and just takes the charge and puts in and just takes the charge and puts in and just takes the charge and puts in the ground the ground the ground and the ground can disappear right the and the ground can disappear right the and the ground can disappear right the ground like disperses it right ground like disperses it right ground like disperses it right dissipate it yeah um just neutralizes
13:00dissipate it yeah um just neutralizes dissipate it yeah um just neutralizes basically neutralize the ground takes it basically neutralize the ground takes it basically neutralize the ground takes it from usually so there's a charge in our from usually so there's a charge in our from usually so there's a charge in our bodies for example the charge is more bodies for example the charge is more bodies for example the charge is more positive positive positive the earth has a negative change there's the earth has a negative change there's the earth has a negative change there's an accumulation of electrons does it an accumulation of electrons does it an accumulation of electrons does it balance each other right and because balance each other right and because balance each other right and because because the earth has such a huge i mean because the earth has such a huge i mean because the earth has such a huge i mean basically unlimited pool of negative basically unlimited pool of negative basically unlimited pool of negative electrons electrons electrons it takes all that positive charge it takes all that positive charge it takes all that positive charge this pulls it and utilizes it it just this pulls it and utilizes it it just this pulls it and utilizes it it just absorbs it into the ground that's absorbs it into the ground that's absorbs it into the ground that's basically what grounding is taking a basically what grounding is taking a basically what grounding is taking a charge from anything that's charged up charge from anything that's charged up charge from anything that's charged up with with the current with with the current with with the current or any type of voltage neutralizing it or any type of voltage neutralizing it or any type of voltage neutralizing it into the ground that's basically all it into the ground that's basically all it into the ground that's basically all it is right so so it's based for those who is right so so it's based for those who is right so so it's based for those who aren't like you know fancy electricians aren't like you know fancy electricians aren't like you know fancy electricians or just don't understand what we're or just don't understand what we're or just don't understand what we're talking about all grounding is and we're talking about all grounding is and we're talking about all grounding is and we're not even talking about humans yet our not even talking about humans yet our not even talking about humans yet our body is just another body is just another body is just another vessel that could conduct electricity is vessel that could conduct electricity is vessel that could conduct electricity is you're taking the electricity within you're taking the electricity within you're taking the electricity within your refrigerator or body or dog and your refrigerator or body or dog and your refrigerator or body or dog and you're putting it in the ground exactly you're putting it in the ground exactly you're putting it in the ground exactly we're basically a receptacle for charges we're basically a receptacle for charges we're basically a receptacle for charges we're an electrical being i mean we're
14:00we're an electrical being i mean we're we're an electrical being i mean we're in essence we're made of electricity in essence we're made of electricity in essence we're made of electricity circuits neurons right i mean everything circuits neurons right i mean everything circuits neurons right i mean everything that's running through our bodies or our that's running through our bodies or our that's running through our bodies or our nerves i mean work with electricity nerves i mean work with electricity nerves i mean work with electricity correct so when we're affecting our correct so when we're affecting our correct so when we're affecting our bodies with currents you know in our bodies with currents you know in our bodies with currents you know in our daily life daily life daily life we're basically messing up that you know we're basically messing up that you know we're basically messing up that you know the charges you know that are found in the charges you know that are found in the charges you know that are found in our bodies and grounding supposedly our bodies and grounding supposedly our bodies and grounding supposedly neutralizes it neutralizes it neutralizes it makes us puts us in our natural state makes us puts us in our natural state makes us puts us in our natural state in a sense that's that's the idea when in a sense that's that's the idea when in a sense that's that's the idea when we let's say let's say we flex our elbow we let's say let's say we flex our elbow we let's say let's say we flex our elbow so while we are automatically able to do so while we are automatically able to do so while we are automatically able to do it what's actually happening is that our it what's actually happening is that our it what's actually happening is that our brain is sending neurons to the bones brain is sending neurons to the bones brain is sending neurons to the bones muscles ligaments and tendons to fire up muscles ligaments and tendons to fire up muscles ligaments and tendons to fire up the term fire up we associate with the term fire up we associate with the term fire up we associate with electricity which means that our whole electricity which means that our whole electricity which means that our whole body is electric body is electric body is electric now before we dive into like grounding now before we dive into like grounding now before we dive into like grounding products and grounding and earth and products and grounding and earth and products and grounding and earth and grounding with shoes without shoes what grounding with shoes without shoes what grounding with shoes without shoes what are the health benefits of grounding i are the health benefits of grounding i are the health benefits of grounding i know there's a lot of studies there's a know there's a lot of studies there's a know there's a lot of studies there's a lot of studies that also disprove it so lot of studies that also disprove it so lot of studies that also disprove it so what are the known health benefits what are the known health benefits what are the known health benefits right so the known i think for me the right so the known i think for me the right so the known i think for me the biggest one in my personal case and i biggest one in my personal case and i biggest one in my personal case and i think for everybody is inflammation
15:00think for everybody is inflammation think for everybody is inflammation grounding is is maybe the strongest grounding is is maybe the strongest grounding is is maybe the strongest anti-inflammatory a great anti-inflammatory a great anti-inflammatory a great tool that that's found in existence i tool that that's found in existence i tool that that's found in existence i mean we're worse i was gonna say mean we're worse i was gonna say mean we're worse i was gonna say we were created in a sense to be in we were created in a sense to be in we were created in a sense to be in touch with the ground we're meant to touch with the ground we're meant to touch with the ground we're meant to walk barefoot we're meant to touch the walk barefoot we're meant to touch the walk barefoot we're meant to touch the ground and ground and ground and be one with with the ground in sense and be one with with the ground in sense and be one with with the ground in sense and there's an electrical connection there there's an electrical connection there there's an electrical connection there at least i believe it i mean at least i believe it i mean at least i believe it i mean i just think you know we i just think you know we i just think you know we evolved evolved evolved touching the ground and what we're doing touching the ground and what we're doing touching the ground and what we're doing now you know by wearing shoes that are now you know by wearing shoes that are now you know by wearing shoes that are not not not grounding plastic rubber grounding plastic rubber grounding plastic rubber anything that's not non-conductive right anything that's not non-conductive right anything that's not non-conductive right or insulating you know in other words or insulating you know in other words or insulating you know in other words we're detaching ourselves from from that we're detaching ourselves from from that we're detaching ourselves from from that primal primal primal element element element that we that we that we were were were uh that we were meant to do yes right uh that we were meant to do yes right uh that we were meant to do yes right then we evolved with in a sense then we evolved with in a sense then we evolved with in a sense so just go take me back what was it the so just go take me back what was it the so just go take me back what was it the question so the question was what is question so the question was what is question so the question was what is grounding and then we tapped into what
16:00grounding and then we tapped into what grounding and then we tapped into what are the health benefits the health are the health benefits the health are the health benefits the health benefits so you were speaking about benefits so you were speaking about benefits so you were speaking about lowering inflammation that's been proven lowering inflammation that's been proven lowering inflammation that's been proven by the way by the way by the way and and and another one is um is another one is um is another one is um is recovery so a lot of athletes especially recovery so a lot of athletes especially recovery so a lot of athletes especially in your field in your field in your field i mean i mean i mean there are some studies that were done there are some studies that were done there are some studies that were done that's the only research study that was that's the only research study that was that's the only research study that was done on elite level athletes right and done on elite level athletes right and done on elite level athletes right and they found me that researched that the they found me that researched that the they found me that researched that the recovery is much faster recovery is much faster recovery is much faster so that's the second one in my opinion so that's the second one in my opinion so that's the second one in my opinion to clarify in that one so to clarify in that one so to clarify in that one so anybody like me could just you know anybody like me could just you know anybody like me could just you know sleep on the ground or sleep in bed and sleep on the ground or sleep in bed and sleep on the ground or sleep in bed and be like hey i'm feeling better the next be like hey i'm feeling better the next be like hey i'm feeling better the next day in order to prove a scientific study day in order to prove a scientific study day in order to prove a scientific study not that every scientific study needs to not that every scientific study needs to not that every scientific study needs to be proven if your crohn's is gone and my be proven if your crohn's is gone and my be proven if your crohn's is gone and my exim is gone then it's saying something exim is gone then it's saying something exim is gone then it's saying something about grounding as individuals but they about grounding as individuals but they about grounding as individuals but they took tour de france athletes who are took tour de france athletes who are took tour de france athletes who are elite cyclists and the whole team slept elite cyclists and the whole team slept elite cyclists and the whole team slept in grounding mats at night and they in grounding mats at night and they in grounding mats at night and they noticed that their ability to pedal more noticed that their ability to pedal more noticed that their ability to pedal more every day was improving than years where every day was improving than years where every day was improving than years where they didn't ground that's a scientific they didn't ground that's a scientific they didn't ground that's a scientific case study that would be the difference case study that would be the difference case study that would be the difference in you and me just going about it right in you and me just going about it right in you and me just going about it right right exactly
17:00right exactly right exactly um yeah and the third one then the third um yeah and the third one then the third um yeah and the third one then the third one in my opinion is um one in my opinion is um one in my opinion is um helps with blood viscosity so like blood helps with blood viscosity so like blood helps with blood viscosity so like blood flow and circulation right flow and flow and circulation right flow and flow and circulation right flow and circulation what it does it acts in a circulation what it does it acts in a circulation what it does it acts in a sense like a um sense like a um sense like a um like an aspirin right aspirin thins out like an aspirin right aspirin thins out like an aspirin right aspirin thins out your blood so this i don't know if it your blood so this i don't know if it your blood so this i don't know if it thins out of your blood but it does thins out of your blood but it does thins out of your blood but it does definitely makes it more viscous definitely makes it more viscous definitely makes it more viscous so it allows it to flow so it allows it to flow so it allows it to flow through your veins much more freely through your veins much more freely through your veins much more freely uh so i would say those are the main uh so i would say those are the main uh so i would say those are the main three and getting a little cold yeah three and getting a little cold yeah three and getting a little cold yeah still the sonic coming move around a still the sonic coming move around a still the sonic coming move around a tiny bit okay you can get more kind of tiny bit okay you can get more kind of tiny bit okay you can get more kind of switch position so you don't like freeze switch position so you don't like freeze switch position so you don't like freeze up um nice nice um nice nice um so yeah so those are the main three ones so yeah so those are the main three ones so yeah so those are the main three ones that i i would say you know are the that i i would say you know are the that i i would say you know are the biggest so we got uh reducing biggest so we got uh reducing biggest so we got uh reducing inflammation we got increased recovery inflammation we got increased recovery inflammation we got increased recovery and we got increased blood flow i've and we got increased blood flow i've and we got increased blood flow i've also been researching quite a lot into also been researching quite a lot into also been researching quite a lot into it because i'm not like you know a phd it because i'm not like you know a phd it because i'm not like you know a phd scientist yet but i really like scientist yet but i really like scientist yet but i really like researching stuff that's you know i'm researching stuff that's you know i'm researching stuff that's you know i'm i'm a teacher i'm an educator and i i'm a teacher i'm an educator and i i'm a teacher i'm an educator and i wanna i wanna back up what i believe in
18:00wanna i wanna back up what i believe in wanna i wanna back up what i believe in and i've seen improved sleep for many and i've seen improved sleep for many and i've seen improved sleep for many people i've seen a reduced cortisol people i've seen a reduced cortisol people i've seen a reduced cortisol reduce stress for grounding reduce stress for grounding reduce stress for grounding cold exposure is also a stress reducer cold exposure is also a stress reducer cold exposure is also a stress reducer so if i'm doing cold exposure while so if i'm doing cold exposure while so if i'm doing cold exposure while grounding i'm getting like a double grounding i'm getting like a double grounding i'm getting like a double stress reducer which is a very good stress reducer which is a very good stress reducer which is a very good thing to do right before the weekend thing to do right before the weekend thing to do right before the weekend comes in you know quick cold plunge comes in you know quick cold plunge comes in you know quick cold plunge how many times a week do you do this how many times a week do you do this how many times a week do you do this brother so brother so brother so i do a podcast once or twice a week i do a podcast once or twice a week i do a podcast once or twice a week sometimes i do it over zoom sometimes sometimes i do it over zoom sometimes sometimes i do it over zoom sometimes i'll hop in the sauna if the other if i'll hop in the sauna if the other if i'll hop in the sauna if the other if it's going to be too long or the ice it's going to be too long or the ice it's going to be too long or the ice bath is not available bath is not available bath is not available and i usually do and i usually do and i usually do two to three cold plunges a week with two to three cold plunges a week with two to three cold plunges a week with cold showers daily or by daily right so cold showers daily or by daily right so cold showers daily or by daily right so i do the same thing i do cold showers i do the same thing i do cold showers i do the same thing i do cold showers mostly and then once or twice a week i mostly and then once or twice a week i mostly and then once or twice a week i do cold uh well i i go in the ocean do cold uh well i i go in the ocean do cold uh well i i go in the ocean right yeah which is very this is like right yeah which is very this is like right yeah which is very this is like sarah my wife she surfs so she like say sarah my wife she surfs so she like say sarah my wife she surfs so she like say come to us but she's like i served three come to us but she's like i served three come to us but she's like i served three hours this morning i got my cold hours this morning i got my cold hours this morning i got my cold exposure and my stress reducing so we exposure and my stress reducing so we exposure and my stress reducing so we spoke about the benefits of grounding spoke about the benefits of grounding spoke about the benefits of grounding and now we're just gonna before he turns and now we're just gonna before he turns and now we're just gonna before he turns into an icicle into an icicle into an icicle we're just going to dive into the ways we're just going to dive into the ways we're just going to dive into the ways you can ground so number one is you can ground so number one is you can ground so number one is obviously as we discussed stepping your
19:00obviously as we discussed stepping your obviously as we discussed stepping your bare feet or bear paws on earth now bare feet or bear paws on earth now bare feet or bear paws on earth now let's pretend grounding is a hocus pocus let's pretend grounding is a hocus pocus let's pretend grounding is a hocus pocus and it doesn't exist i can guarantee you and it doesn't exist i can guarantee you and it doesn't exist i can guarantee you if you take your toes and wiggle them in if you take your toes and wiggle them in if you take your toes and wiggle them in the dirt every day you're already doing the dirt every day you're already doing the dirt every day you're already doing something good for your health you're in something good for your health you're in something good for your health you're in the sunshine you're going outside you're the sunshine you're going outside you're the sunshine you're going outside you're walking you're moving it's likely with walking you're moving it's likely with walking you're moving it's likely with your loved ones so even if your loved ones so even if your loved ones so even if this whole podcast is this whole podcast is this whole podcast is bull beep bull beep bull beep we should you should still go outside we should you should still go outside we should you should still go outside with your toes on earth with your toes on earth with your toes on earth but there's studies that earthing and but there's studies that earthing and but there's studies that earthing and grounding as i'm touching your toes to grounding as i'm touching your toes to grounding as i'm touching your toes to the earth does help now i'm an office the earth does help now i'm an office the earth does help now i'm an office guy i'm a nine-to-five guy it's exactly guy i'm a nine-to-five guy it's exactly guy i'm a nine-to-five guy it's exactly what i'm not and i need to wear shoes i what i'm not and i need to wear shoes i what i'm not and i need to wear shoes i need to wear clothes so need to wear clothes so need to wear clothes so shoes here i'll let you uh explain this shoes here i'll let you uh explain this shoes here i'll let you uh explain this part right so i mean the only way part right so i mean the only way part right so i mean the only way to conduct in the office other than to conduct in the office other than to conduct in the office other than digging a hole in the ground and you digging a hole in the ground and you digging a hole in the ground and you know exposing the floor to the ground know exposing the floor to the ground know exposing the floor to the ground which is obviously not you know which is obviously not you know which is obviously not you know something that most people can do something that most people can do something that most people can do maybe crazy people like us maybe crazy people like us maybe crazy people like us i'm actually always dreaming you know to i'm actually always dreaming you know to i'm actually always dreaming you know to dig like you know in my house like dig a dig like you know in my house like dig a dig like you know in my house like dig a little patch uh earthing powder earthing little patch uh earthing powder earthing little patch uh earthing powder earthing patch like yours you know just have a patch like yours you know just have a patch like yours you know just have a little brown maybe put a tree in the little brown maybe put a tree in the little brown maybe put a tree in the middle of my house but i say other you
20:00middle of my house but i say other you middle of my house but i say other you know people they can't do it know people they can't do it know people they can't do it they can't so they can take those they can't so they can take those they can't so they can take those earthing mats correct that you can earthing mats correct that you can earthing mats correct that you can purchase correct on amazon or wherever purchase correct on amazon or wherever purchase correct on amazon or wherever you live you know whatever you you can you live you know whatever you you can you live you know whatever you you can purchase it purchase it purchase it you connect it to a plug you connect it to a plug you connect it to a plug it's a it's a it's a it's a it's a it's a i mean i think you can test it the same i mean i think you can test it the same i mean i think you can test it the same way that we tested you know the pool way that we tested you know the pool way that we tested you know the pool today right today right today right test it for yourself i mean i wouldn't test it for yourself i mean i wouldn't test it for yourself i mean i wouldn't take somebody's word take it you know take somebody's word take it you know take somebody's word take it you know buy it by volt meter you take a volt buy it by volt meter you take a volt buy it by volt meter you take a volt meter uh basically a voltmeter connect meter uh basically a voltmeter connect meter uh basically a voltmeter connect it and try to test it right if it's it and try to test it right if it's it and try to test it right if it's grounding you're grounded that's right grounding you're grounded that's right grounding you're grounded that's right that's as simple as that right so that's as simple as that right so that's as simple as that right so whatever whatever so to clarify for our whatever whatever so to clarify for our whatever whatever so to clarify for our viewers i do want to differentiate viewers i do want to differentiate viewers i do want to differentiate between grounding by connecting your between grounding by connecting your between grounding by connecting your body or body parts to earth or touching body or body parts to earth or touching body or body parts to earth or touching your tree or touching the ground versus your tree or touching the ground versus your tree or touching the ground versus grounding products which plug into an grounding products which plug into an grounding products which plug into an outlet and that outlet because it's an outlet and that outlet because it's an outlet and that outlet because it's an electrical outlet is automatically electrical outlet is automatically electrical outlet is automatically grounded well it's grounded as long as grounded well it's grounded as long as grounded well it's grounded as long as it is it is it is itself it has the three holes it's itself it has the three holes it's itself it has the three holes it's connected grounded connected grounded connected grounded usually but you always have to test it usually but you always have to test it usually but you always have to test it so i think i think those all those so i think i think those all those so i think i think those all those products come with a tester and the products come with a tester and the products come with a tester and the tester will tell you if it's right tester will tell you if it's right tester will tell you if it's right there's no way to know unless you trust there's no way to know unless you trust there's no way to know unless you trust me so i'm just object like clarifying it
21:00me so i'm just object like clarifying it me so i'm just object like clarifying it for our viewers and then we'll unfreeze for our viewers and then we'll unfreeze for our viewers and then we'll unfreeze you that there's touching your feet to you that there's touching your feet to you that there's touching your feet to the earth or touching your body to the the earth or touching your body to the the earth or touching your body to the earth or trees or nature or whatever it earth or trees or nature or whatever it earth or trees or nature or whatever it is then there's is then there's is then there's touching your body or body parts such as touching your body or body parts such as touching your body or body parts such as a grounding pillowcase grounding sheet a grounding pillowcase grounding sheet a grounding pillowcase grounding sheet grounding linen grounding mat which is grounding linen grounding mat which is grounding linen grounding mat which is connected to an electrical outlet in the connected to an electrical outlet in the connected to an electrical outlet in the wall which means you don't even have to wall which means you don't even have to wall which means you don't even have to go outside and we already discussed and go outside and we already discussed and go outside and we already discussed and proved the benefits of grounding so it's proved the benefits of grounding so it's proved the benefits of grounding so it's not not is this hocus pocus it's am i grounded is this hocus pocus it's am i grounded is this hocus pocus it's am i grounded or not and that has to be tested and or not and that has to be tested and or not and that has to be tested and there's this third element which is your there's this third element which is your there's this third element which is your shoes which is i'm not grounding myself shoes which is i'm not grounding myself shoes which is i'm not grounding myself by clicking to a wall that'll be by clicking to a wall that'll be by clicking to a wall that'll be interesting to do hold a little portable interesting to do hold a little portable interesting to do hold a little portable charger the whole way charger the whole way charger the whole way i'm grouding myself through my clothing i'm grouding myself through my clothing i'm grouding myself through my clothing with the copper plug because your shoe with the copper plug because your shoe with the copper plug because your shoe is all natural materials which means is all natural materials which means is all natural materials which means nothing in the shoe is going to uh add nothing in the shoe is going to uh add nothing in the shoe is going to uh add more electricity to me is that is that more electricity to me is that is that more electricity to me is that is that correct correct correct well the shoe is is um is made of of uh well the shoe is is um is made of of uh well the shoe is is um is made of of uh conductive materials so the leather in conductive materials so the leather in conductive materials so the leather in the shoes does not promote right the shoes does not promote right the shoes does not promote right it allows any type of electrical flow it allows any type of electrical flow it allows any type of electrical flow through
22:00through through the the copper and into the ground got the the copper and into the ground got the the copper and into the ground got it in a sense got it right okay answer it in a sense got it right okay answer it in a sense got it right okay answer that question yeah it does add it to that question yeah it does add it to that question yeah it does add it to your question yeah yeah there's two more your question yeah yeah there's two more your question yeah yeah there's two more case studies i want to add on this that case studies i want to add on this that case studies i want to add on this that i have discovered one was done by the i have discovered one was done by the i have discovered one was done by the barefoot store company here in israel barefoot store company here in israel barefoot store company here in israel they checked people's capacity to ground they checked people's capacity to ground they checked people's capacity to ground through different shoes and sandals and through different shoes and sandals and through different shoes and sandals and clothes and they found that clothes and they found that clothes and they found that through clothes you want about 75 of through clothes you want about 75 of through clothes you want about 75 of your body exposed but this was when they your body exposed but this was when they your body exposed but this was when they were it wasn't their feet it was let's were it wasn't their feet it was let's were it wasn't their feet it was let's say an electrician is working with say an electrician is working with say an electrician is working with electricity so i i don't understand the electricity so i i don't understand the electricity so i i don't understand the major so i'm not an electrician but they major so i'm not an electrician but they major so i'm not an electrician but they wanted 75 their body to be wanted 75 their body to be wanted 75 their body to be touching or covered with some sort of touching or covered with some sort of touching or covered with some sort of grounding material so if there's any grounding material so if there's any grounding material so if there's any discharge in the work that they were discharge in the work that they were discharge in the work that they were doing that would be absorbed in through doing that would be absorbed in through doing that would be absorbed in through their garments that they're wearing into their garments that they're wearing into their garments that they're wearing into the ground and another study that i the ground and another study that i the ground and another study that i discovered it wasn't studying it's like discovered it wasn't studying it's like discovered it wasn't studying it's like speaking to someone because i had ron speaking to someone because i had ron speaking to someone because i had ron cohen on my podcast who's a like cohen on my podcast who's a like cohen on my podcast who's a like barefoot famous breakfast runner here in barefoot famous breakfast runner here in barefoot famous breakfast runner here in the israel world he was in yalum as well the israel world he was in yalum as well the israel world he was in yalum as well and he was saying yalum is like the sap and he was saying yalum is like the sap and he was saying yalum is like the sap the the sappers unit that when they the the sappers unit that when they the the sappers unit that when they would defuse bombs they would also would defuse bombs they would also would defuse bombs they would also ground themselves because they don't
23:00ground themselves because they don't ground themselves because they don't want any electricity running around they want any electricity running around they want any electricity running around they would accidentally set off the bomb would accidentally set off the bomb would accidentally set off the bomb which is all showing that grounding is which is all showing that grounding is which is all showing that grounding is really a thing really a thing really a thing now the last question for you before you now the last question for you before you now the last question for you before you we unfreeze is as a successful ceo we unfreeze is as a successful ceo we unfreeze is as a successful ceo entrepreneur someone who made a footwork entrepreneur someone who made a footwork entrepreneur someone who made a footwork company is travels a lot so you're company is travels a lot so you're company is travels a lot so you're obviously a biohacker and a holistic obviously a biohacker and a holistic obviously a biohacker and a holistic person that's the impression i get how person that's the impression i get how person that's the impression i get how do you stay do you stay do you stay besides getting a lot of protein eating besides getting a lot of protein eating besides getting a lot of protein eating vegetables and limiting carbs and vegetables and limiting carbs and vegetables and limiting carbs and grounding and ice bathing which is like grounding and ice bathing which is like grounding and ice bathing which is like hell yeah how do you stay fit how do you hell yeah how do you stay fit how do you hell yeah how do you stay fit how do you stay healthy like how do you do your stay healthy like how do you do your stay healthy like how do you do your regimen while you're just flying regimen while you're just flying regimen while you're just flying everywhere and right yeah so travel is everywhere and right yeah so travel is everywhere and right yeah so travel is always a challenge i must say i mean the always a challenge i must say i mean the always a challenge i must say i mean the lay i mean the uh jet lag and the hour lay i mean the uh jet lag and the hour lay i mean the uh jet lag and the hour changes i mean it with us all changes i mean it with us all changes i mean it with us all right what should i say it's okay right what should i say it's okay right what should i say it's okay we're adults we're adults we're adults if you if it offends you i apologize if you if it offends you i apologize if you if it offends you i apologize i'll say it again you can try again try i'll say it again you can try again try i'll say it again you can try again try again again again okay so uh so i'll do it so it messes with you so okay travel so it messes with you so okay travel is isn't it i'm trying on monday i'm is isn't it i'm trying on monday i'm is isn't it i'm trying on monday i'm familiar yeah you know you know it
24:00familiar yeah you know you know it familiar yeah you know you know it messes with your body messes with your body messes with your body a great way to actually treat jetlag a great way to actually treat jetlag a great way to actually treat jetlag uh is there's two uh is there's two uh is there's two well yes absolutely grounding is one and well yes absolutely grounding is one and well yes absolutely grounding is one and sunshine sunshine sunshine so i mean we know so i mean we know so i mean we know biohacker power biohacker power biohacker power grounding and sunshine grounding and sunshine grounding and sunshine two best hacks for two best hacks for two best hacks for jetlag and and you know getting back jetlag and and you know getting back jetlag and and you know getting back into the into the rhythm of whatever into the into the rhythm of whatever into the into the rhythm of whatever time zone you're in yeah those are the time zone you're in yeah those are the time zone you're in yeah those are the two yeah but also when it comes sorry i two yeah but also when it comes sorry i two yeah but also when it comes sorry i totally drove no no no when it comes to totally drove no no no when it comes to totally drove no no no when it comes to being jet-lagged you have to understand being jet-lagged you have to understand being jet-lagged you have to understand that jet lag is also associated with that jet lag is also associated with that jet lag is also associated with flying and flying is the ultimate flying and flying is the ultimate flying and flying is the ultimate non-grounding because you're flying in a non-grounding because you're flying in a non-grounding because you're flying in a box that's full of everyone's box that's full of everyone's box that's full of everyone's electricity from their phones and their electricity from their phones and their electricity from their phones and their ions and their bluetooth and their ions and their bluetooth and their ions and their bluetooth and their headsets and the plane and you are so headsets and the plane and you are so headsets and the plane and you are so far connected from the ground also far connected from the ground also far connected from the ground also radiation right so all this like radiation right so all this like radiation right so all this like electricity and static is sitting in you electricity and static is sitting in you electricity and static is sitting in you and if you go home without doing any no and if you go home without doing any no and if you go home without doing any no grounding no sunshine you're literally grounding no sunshine you're literally grounding no sunshine you're literally trying to sleep but you're you're a box trying to sleep but you're you're a box trying to sleep but you're you're a box of inflammation so putting the jet lag
25:00of inflammation so putting the jet lag of inflammation so putting the jet lag aside besides the fact your body's not aside besides the fact your body's not aside besides the fact your body's not sleeping which is increasing sleeping which is increasing sleeping which is increasing inflammation even further you just inflammation even further you just inflammation even further you just picked up picked up picked up the ultimate inflammation and it has to the ultimate inflammation and it has to the ultimate inflammation and it has to be dealt with and if you wonder why be dealt with and if you wonder why be dealt with and if you wonder why you're not feeling good in your workout you're not feeling good in your workout you're not feeling good in your workout the week after flying because you never the week after flying because you never the week after flying because you never dealt with it actively absolutely i dealt with it actively absolutely i dealt with it actively absolutely i totally do this you ask me what else i totally do this you ask me what else i totally do this you ask me what else i do so i'm i've been doing yoga for like do so i'm i've been doing yoga for like do so i'm i've been doing yoga for like 20 years 20 years 20 years um yoga is great for you i mean i um yoga is great for you i mean i um yoga is great for you i mean i obviously work out at the gym like most obviously work out at the gym like most obviously work out at the gym like most other people so that's also great just other people so that's also great just other people so that's also great just be active you know just be active be active you know just be active be active you know just be active move if you can't go to the gym because move if you can't go to the gym because move if you can't go to the gym because you don't have you know access to it you don't have you know access to it you don't have you know access to it while you're traveling while you're traveling while you're traveling go go go just do some push-ups do anything just just do some push-ups do anything just just do some push-ups do anything just move your body stretch move your body stretch move your body stretch move move move movement is key movement is key movement is key movement movement movement at the office i have a uh treadmill you at the office i have a uh treadmill you at the office i have a uh treadmill you know that i walk into a walking know that i walk into a walking know that i walk into a walking treadmill treadmill treadmill yeah and stuff like that that's it yeah yeah and stuff like that that's it yeah yeah and stuff like that that's it yeah i mean guys this is a guy this is a guy i mean guys this is a guy this is a guy i mean guys this is a guy this is a guy who's you know how old are you if i can who's you know how old are you if i can who's you know how old are you if i can ask i'm 43. 43 years old okay so that's ask i'm 43. 43 years old okay so that's ask i'm 43. 43 years old okay so that's 43 years of experience who's not saying
26:0043 years of experience who's not saying 43 years of experience who's not saying go hard and heavy at the gym he's not go hard and heavy at the gym he's not go hard and heavy at the gym he's not saying uh go on the treadmill he's saying uh go on the treadmill he's saying uh go on the treadmill he's saying move more that's what he's saying move more that's what he's saying move more that's what he's implying so there's like one longevity implying so there's like one longevity implying so there's like one longevity seeker i mean you look like you're 20 seeker i mean you look like you're 20 seeker i mean you look like you're 20 years old you can do the same age on my years old you can do the same age on my years old you can do the same age on my 20s thank you it's ground the grounding 20s thank you it's ground the grounding 20s thank you it's ground the grounding cameo anyways his shoe is beautiful in cameo anyways his shoe is beautiful in cameo anyways his shoe is beautiful in fact can you uh get it for us so i can fact can you uh get it for us so i can fact can you uh get it for us so i can show it on video because it's just a show it on video because it's just a show it on video because it's just a really really nice uh here we go little really really nice uh here we go little really really nice uh here we go little uh smooth thing so i had the privilege uh smooth thing so i had the privilege uh smooth thing so i had the privilege to correspond with to correspond with to correspond with ty here ty here ty here and and he sent me these shoes he sent them to he sent me these shoes he sent them to he sent me these shoes he sent them to america i believe right even though america i believe right even though america i believe right even though they're uh you are israeli this is the they're uh you are israeli this is the they're uh you are israeli this is the shoe dude like i'm i'm biased yeah shoe dude like i'm i'm biased yeah shoe dude like i'm i'm biased yeah because like we're obviously affiliated because like we're obviously affiliated because like we're obviously affiliated but this is a beautiful shoe i mean i but this is a beautiful shoe i mean i but this is a beautiful shoe i mean i have a few barefoot dress shoes but the have a few barefoot dress shoes but the have a few barefoot dress shoes but the barefoot dress world hasn't killed barefoot dress world hasn't killed barefoot dress world hasn't killed hasn't killed it yet and this looks hasn't killed it yet and this looks hasn't killed it yet and this looks normal in fact when i went to an event a normal in fact when i went to an event a normal in fact when i went to an event a few weeks ago when i was like first few weeks ago when i was like first few weeks ago when i was like first trialing it i trialing it i trialing it i people like i asked people like hey people like i asked people like hey people like i asked people like hey what's up and no one like obviously what's up and no one like obviously what's up and no one like obviously really show them this barefoot shoes no really show them this barefoot shoes no really show them this barefoot shoes no one noticed which is saying something one noticed which is saying something one noticed which is saying something for like the everyday worker who wants for like the everyday worker who wants for like the everyday worker who wants to ground and get the benefits in the to ground and get the benefits in the to ground and get the benefits in the copper plug i'll make sure to drop the
27:00copper plug i'll make sure to drop the copper plug i'll make sure to drop the link below of course in the show notes link below of course in the show notes link below of course in the show notes but still wants to do this like classy but still wants to do this like classy but still wants to do this like classy loafer and i and ty here was telling me loafer and i and ty here was telling me loafer and i and ty here was telling me that they're even working on an even that they're even working on an even that they're even working on an even better model which is going to be more better model which is going to be more better model which is going to be more aesthetic or or more grounding or both aesthetic or or more grounding or both aesthetic or or more grounding or both so we're working on a few of the ideas so we're working on a few of the ideas so we're working on a few of the ideas but for these ones we're actually so but for these ones we're actually so but for these ones we're actually so we're we're perfecting the shape so i we're we're perfecting the shape so i we're we're perfecting the shape so i was just now at the at the factory where was just now at the at the factory where was just now at the at the factory where we make these yeah oh by the way oh i we make these yeah oh by the way oh i we make these yeah oh by the way oh i don't think i mean you didn't mention don't think i mean you didn't mention don't think i mean you didn't mention something but it's all handmade something but it's all handmade something but it's all handmade everything yeah the shoe is completely everything yeah the shoe is completely everything yeah the shoe is completely handmade yeah i mean notice you know handmade yeah i mean notice you know handmade yeah i mean notice you know photos i mean you can see the stitches i photos i mean you can see the stitches i photos i mean you can see the stitches i mean look at this right we have we have mean look at this right we have we have mean look at this right we have we have our guys you know like yeah stitching by our guys you know like yeah stitching by our guys you know like yeah stitching by hand everything's made by hand um hand everything's made by hand um hand everything's made by hand um so what we improved we had uh some so so what we improved we had uh some so so what we improved we had uh some so we're trying to accommodate this to more we're trying to accommodate this to more we're trying to accommodate this to more to a larger audience to a larger audience to a larger audience we uh we we're tweaking the shapes we uh we we're tweaking the shapes we uh we we're tweaking the shapes slightly we're giving a little bit more slightly we're giving a little bit more slightly we're giving a little bit more so we're narrowing it actually in the so we're narrowing it actually in the so we're narrowing it actually in the hill a little bit and and and hill a little bit and and and hill a little bit and and and we're reshaping the front of it so it's we're reshaping the front of it so it's we're reshaping the front of it so it's going to look very it's virtually the going to look very it's virtually the going to look very it's virtually the same same same you won't really see a difference you won't really see a difference you won't really see a difference visually i think visually i think visually i think from these ones but it's going to fit
28:00from these ones but it's going to fit from these ones but it's going to fit way way better than it fits right now way way better than it fits right now way way better than it fits right now amazing so that's that's our first step amazing so that's that's our first step amazing so that's that's our first step and then i mean there's a lot of other and then i mean there's a lot of other and then i mean there's a lot of other products coming up sandals coming up man products coming up sandals coming up man products coming up sandals coming up man sandals right now we have women's sandals right now we have women's sandals right now we have women's sandals sandals sandals men's sandals are coming up and we're men's sandals are coming up and we're men's sandals are coming up and we're gonna have sneakers and gonna have sneakers and gonna have sneakers and a whole lot of a whole lot of a whole lot of the whole the whole nine yards this is the whole the whole nine yards this is the whole the whole nine yards this is the point the point the point when he starts shivering yes and it's when he starts shivering yes and it's when he starts shivering yes and it's like the good products that's you know like the good products that's you know like the good products that's you know the podcast has come to an end so thanks the podcast has come to an end so thanks the podcast has come to an end so thanks so much everybody for tuning in it's so much everybody for tuning in it's so much everybody for tuning in it's really a privilege to have you here really a privilege to have you here really a privilege to have you here today thank you we're gonna hop in the today thank you we're gonna hop in the today thank you we're gonna hop in the sauna warm up a bit then we're gonna hop sauna warm up a bit then we're gonna hop sauna warm up a bit then we're gonna hop back in the cold because cold hot cold back in the cold because cold hot cold back in the cold because cold hot cold and yeah that's all for now so thanks uh and yeah that's all for now so thanks uh and yeah that's all for now so thanks uh for coming on the show i'll make sure to for coming on the show i'll make sure to for coming on the show i'll make sure to drop the drop the drop the uh grounds link below and we have some uh grounds link below and we have some uh grounds link below and we have some juicy discount code we can hook up for juicy discount code we can hook up for juicy discount code we can hook up for our listeners our listeners our listeners and uh and uh and uh that's it so have a good one and have a that's it so have a good one and have a that's it so have a good one and have a good weekend stay safe stay loving stay good weekend stay safe stay loving stay good weekend stay safe stay loving stay cold and peace out
