Frazer explains what grounding actually is, how it’s thought to affect the body and why sleeping grounded has become such a big part of the conversation.
We also get into the questions people commonly have about grounding - including the science, inflammation, blood flow, sleep, EMFs, grounding products, wall sockets versus grounding rods, placebo and whether you should actually feel anything when you’re grounded.
I also share my own experience after spending many years sleeping grounded and using grounding mats around the home.
In this episode we discuss:
• What grounding and earthing actually mean
• How grounding is thought to work
• Why modern life has disconnected us from the Earth
• Grounding and sleep quality

• How quickly people might notice a difference

• Grounding sheets vs mattress covers
• Grounding rods vs household earth sockets
• Grounding and EMFs
• Placebo and scepticism around grounding
• Safety considerations
