In a recent post, Gary Brecka advocated for the practice of grounding—direct contact between the human body and the earth—as a powerful, underutilized tool for resetting biological rhythms and reducing stress.

“Your bare feet are more intelligent than your shoes,” said Gary Brecka in a post on X. “Grounding helps regulate cortisol, restore circadian rhythm, reduce inflammation. Try it 10 minutes before coffee. The results? Profound.”

Grounding, also known as earthing, has been studied for its potential to improve sleep, lower stress hormones, and reduce markers of inflammation. The theory suggests that direct skin contact with the earth allows for the transfer of electrons, which may help neutralize free radicals and support homeostasis.

Brecka’s suggestion to practice grounding first thing in the morning aligns with other lifestyle interventions he promotes—natural light exposure, hydration, and breathwork—geared toward optimizing hormone cycles and nervous system balance.
