This short intro gives you a wide-angle look at classical mechanics. From Newton’s force-based laws to the more abstract Lagrangian and Hamiltonian frameworks. We quickly explore how each approach describes motion, energy, and the structure of physical laws across different arenas of mechanics. To watch the full video, check out the lectures inside Club Olympus.

In 2016, a study was published out of Poland by Sokal and colleagues. They wanted to explore how grounding affects the concentration of glucose, lactate, and bilirubin during exercise and relaxation. These substances are metabolic indicators that offer a window into how grounding could influence training and recovery. We have touched on glucose regulation briefly in The Minis, but this study digs deeper.

We now transition to another crucial domain of electrical grounding—performance. This area initially sparked my interest in grounding and inspired the establishment of my platform, The Grounded Athlete.

ARES Groundwear arrives at HQ this week! Which means that they’ll begin shipping as early as next week! Stock is LIMITED and they’ll go fast so grab your pair before they’re gone!

Symmetry pretty much runs physics. It decides what’s allowed, what’s conserved, and who gets invited to the particle party. The math behind it is Group theory. That’s where the real magic happens. In this video, I break down the basics of symmetry—no PhD required. Catch it in The Lectures on Club Olympus.

At its heart, general relativity boils down elegantly to the equation. This simple yet powerful equation describes how matter-energy shapes the curvature of spacetime.

And so we’ve reached the finale of The Minis. The best for last I’d say. Glucose regulation is essential for human health. This sugar comes from dietary carbohydrates. It fuels cells by providing a quick energy source or a stored reserve. Hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, work together to keep blood glucose within safe limits. Too much or too little glucose can impair organs that depend on precise metabolic balance.

In the last article of The Minis, we talked about how grounding influences our thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones like T3 and T4 govern vital metabolic and energy processes. They also influence bone growth, development, and remodeling. Excess thyroid hormone can accelerate bone breakdown which can elevate fracture risk. Insufficient thyroid hormone slows bone formation and compromises skeletal integrity. Proper thyroid function therefore has a direct bearing on mineral equilibrium and bone health. In this article we’ll quickly go over how grounding affects the mineral balance in our body which directly implicates skeletal health.

In this video I talk about one of the most important things to accept with the quantum mechanical framework - uncertainty. As well as what The Uncertainty Principle stems directly from - The Canonical Commutation Relation.

One particularly intriguing discovery is its impact on the thyroid gland, the small organ in your neck that acts as a master regulator of metabolism. In 2011, Dr. Karol Sokal and Dr. Pawel Sokal set out to test whether being electrically grounded to the Earth could alter thyroid function.

The Principle of Least Action was one of my favorite things to learn about on my physics journey, and still is. How does nature “know” the best bath to take? Let’s take a little dive into this principle, which is universally applicable throughout all physical theories. Now Available in The Lectures in Club Olympus.

“When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: ‘Death has been swallowed up in victory.’
‘Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?’

This article will be nice and morbid. We’ll be discussing.. death. Or at least the process leading up to that ultimate goodnight.

Can the simple act of touching the Earth improve your complexion? Can it make you.. sessy? Recent thermography research (see the Earth & Heart Series) suggests it might. In a 2015 pilot study, researchers had volunteers spend one hour grounded (in contact with the Earth via conductive mats) and measured their skin with thermal imaging.

All objects with a temperature above absolute zero radiate heat. The human body, with an average surface temperature close to 33°C, emits infrared waves that can be captured by a specialized camera. Doctors often rely on these temperature maps to identify areas of abnormal heat or coolness. Such patterns can indicate problems like inflammation, poor circulation, or early-stage infections.

Andddddd we are back for part 2 of Earth & Heart. Last time we talked about zeta potential, which is tied to blood pressure. One of the biggest ailments plaguing modern society is high blood pressure.

A question has come up many, many times. I realized that I went over it in Earth & Water but never in an article or social post. So here we are.

It’s time.. for a new series, >:) . A three-parter on once of the coolest aspects of grounding - it'‘s impact on the cardiovascular system.

Our first stop in Earth & Heart series is the blood. We usually think of blood as just a liquid moving through our bodies, but it is far more complex than most realize. Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste. It contains cells like red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells, and platelets, all suspended in plasma. This plasma is mostly water but also includes proteins, electrolytes, and other substances.

Heart rate variability (HRV) is the beat-to-beat change in heart rate. It reflects the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which governs heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and other vital functions. The higher the HRV, the more flexible and adaptive the body is. The lower the HRV, the more stress or imbalance the body may be experiencing.

It's been a while, but we are back with some more grounding stuff :) This time we’re going into the brain..

EEG measures the electrical waveforms produced by neural activity. EMG measures the electrical activity in muscles. Together, they reveal changes in overall stress and balance in our physiology. Here we’ll quickly finish out our exploration of Earth & Mind and look at how EEG and EMG have been used to evaluate grounding and its influence on human brain and muscle function.
