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.

In addition, she also highlights several evidence-based lifestyle & supplement strategies proven to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.
