For years, I’ve encouraged my clients to ground—to slow down, connect with the Earth, and allow the nervous system and body to settle. 🌿
Not as a trend. Not as a quick fix. But as a simple, foundational practice that felt supportive on a deep level.
Now, science is beginning to catch up.
A recent peer-reviewed laboratory study published in FEBS Open Bio explored how grounding affects our cells—specifically the mitochondria, the energy centers responsible for ATP production and managing oxidative stress.
What researchers observed:
• Increased ATP (cellular energy)
• Reduced oxidative stress (linked to inflammation and aging)
• More efficient mitochondrial function with less cellular strain
This wasn’t a wellness opinion—it was controlled laboratory research examining grounding’s electrical effects on cells. While not a clinical trial, it adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting that grounding may support balance at the most fundamental level of the body.
I love when research validates what the body has been showing us all along.
Sometimes the most powerful tools are also the simplest: bare feet on the Earth, presence, and consistency.
If you’ve been grounding, keep going.
If you’re curious, start simply—step outside, reconnect, and notice how your body responds. 🌱
What if grounding didn’t just feel good, but actually supported your body at a cellular level? 🌍
A new peer-reviewed study published in FEBS Open Bio explored how grounding affects mitochondria, the tiny structures inside your cells responsible for producing energy and managing oxidative stress.
Here’s what researchers observed 👇
Grounded samples produced more ATP (cellular energy).
They showed lower levels of oxidative stress, which is linked to inflammation and ageing.
Mitochondria appeared to work more efficiently, with less cellular strain
This wasn’t a lifestyle trend or wellness opinion, it was controlled laboratory research examining grounding’s electrical effects on cells.
While this study was conducted in a lab (not a clinical trial), it adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting grounding may help support balance in the body, starting at its most fundamental level.
At BeGrounded, we believe in evidence over exaggeration.
No hype. No miracle claims. Just science, consistency, and connection to the Earth.
If you’re curious about grounding, start simply, reconnect, observe how your body responds, and stay grounded. 🌱
