Being barefoot is the simplest way to connect your body to the earth. But sometimes, it’s not practical. The ground’s too cold, the path too rough, or you just need to wear something. Sandals [Earth Runners Circadian Adventure Sandals – Shop Link ] The Earth Runners Sandals  are my go-to footwear. They have a copper plug and conductive laces that allow electrons to flow from the gound into your body. My preference is the Circadian Sandal. It's a great balance - thin enough to

Mould is one of those quiet stressors that affects more than your walls. It affects your breath, your sinuses, even your energy. The smell alone can keep your nervous system braced. But you don’t need harsh chemicals to tackle it. Clove oil is powerful. It contains eugenol, a natural compound that kills mould spores at the root and helps prevent regrowth. I’ve found it far more effective than bleach. Where bleach made the mould disappear only for it to return weeks later, clo

Sometimes the gut simply needs a little extra help breaking food down and keeping stomach acid strong enough to do its job. The supplements below are worth trying if you often deal with bloating, heaviness, or indigestion. Apple Cider Vinegar Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has long been used to gently stimulate stomach acid and improve digestion.

Our bodies were never meant to stare into bright white light after dark. When the sun sets, your brain expects warm, dim tones that tell your system it’s time to rest.

As the sun sets, your body begins to shift. Melatonin rises, the nervous system softens, and your begins to repair. But modern light interrupts this process. Screens, LEDs, and overhead lights tell your body it’s still daytime. Blue light late at night keeps your brain alert, delays sleep, and slows recovery. Amber or red light doesn’t do that. It supports your natural rhythm, helping the body unwind the way it’s meant to. Blue-Blocking Glasses [SunDown Glasses – Shop Link ]
