Interview with Clint Ober: Unearthing the Health Benefits of Grounding May 06, 2024

Clint Ober from The Earthing Institute joins me to unravel the mysteries and science of grounding, or 'earthing' as he passionately refers to it.

Together, we explore how our disconnection from the Earth's natural electrical charge could be a silent contributor to the rise in autoimmune diseases. We delve into how grounding is not merely a foundational principle in the cable industry for safety, but potentially a missing link in our personal well-being.

Clint’s modest approach to well-being, rooted in the simple act of connecting with nature, strikes a chord with the inherent desire for simplicity in our lives. His dedication to grounding therapy and its role in countering chronic inflammation and stress paints a picture of a natural remedy waiting just beneath our feet.

If you've ever been skeptical about grounding, this conversation addresses common misconceptions and invites you to reconsider the impact of this natural practice on your well-being.

Leigh Weinraub on How to Rewrite Your Story and Improve Your Overall Wellness Dec 05, 2022

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by the challenges you're facing, discouraged because you haven't made progress, and frustrated because you don't know how to change your mindset?

On this week's episode, I interviewed Leigh Weinraub for the answers. She shares the secrets to success so that you can achieve optimism, perseverance, and compassion.

Leigh Weinraub is the founder of Mind in Motion, a movement and lifestyle brand committed to helping people win on the court, field, office, and in life. She views the world as a philosopher, thinks like a coach and executes like an athlete. Armed with a Bachelors and Masters in Psychology, from Northwestern University, she developed a unique approach to help people access their potential for greatness. On one of the coldest days in Chicago, some 20 years ago, she pioneered Walk-and-Talk therapy born from the frustration and the belief that there were more effective ways to help clients than on a couch.

"Respect and honor the reality that this is a lifelong practice of you needing to remind yourself, get back up again, try again, try again, try again. Do not underestimate how brutally hard it is to just get back up again.”

In this episode, you will learn the following:

Action precedes motivation – we should take action even when we don't feel motivated, as the action itself will help create motivation.
Mindset matters – our reality will be a reflection of our thoughts and beliefs, so it's important to focus on positive thinking.
It's a lifelong practice – we should never give up, even when things get tough, as there is always an opportunity to try again.
