Does Grounding Actually Reduce Inflammation? - Rhonda Patrick
The Omega-3 Supplementation Guide
A blueprint for choosing the right fish oil supplement — filled with specific recommendations, guidelines for interpreting testing data, and dosage protocols.
In this video, Dr. Rhonda Patrick takes a closer look at the popular practice of grounding (or earthing) and evaluates the scientific evidence behind its claims to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.
While grounding proponents often rely on subjective measures like self-reported pain, Dr. Patrick explores why objective biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress, such as CRP or TNF-α, are essential for evaluating its efficacy.
In addition, she also highlights several evidence-based lifestyle & supplement strategies proven to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.
