After this week, I expect to get back on my regular video schedule again, with plenty of reviews, recipes and (of course) weekly podcasts. See you in 2021!
Thanks for sharing on earthing. It sounds nutty-yet, *_not._* I have degenerative disc disease and additionally, considerable foot and ankle pain. I think it's worth playing with. Anecdotally, I've found the tub of hot water helps with all sorts of pain, for several reasons, but I also know that plumbing is grounded. That may be an additional reason lying in the tub could be therapeutic.
Steve I read about grounding a couple of years ago in my search to cure AFIB. I started washing my car in my bare feet and taking my shoes off more like we did when we were kids (barefooting). It didn't seem to help, but that doesn't mean it didn't help in other ways. What finally cured my AFIB was going Keto. Seems I was a sugarholic and didn't realize it. I also read Wheat Bellies but after I decided to cut out sugar and grains and boy it made a lot of sense. Thanks for you continual honesty and enjoy your family time.
"earthing/grounding" whatever you call it, has always helped me before I even knew it was a thing. Always calms me down and destresses me. Just walking in the grass barefoot for a bit makes me feel calm
Thanks for the video. I didn't read any of the comments because I didn't want to be influenced by others ideas in regards to earthing. I started Earthing on August 13th of this year. I purchased the two mats from Amazon. Yes I got the book included with the order. I experienced the same thing as you. I sleep all night with the mat at the foot of my bed. I experienced the same sleep results as you and the same dream results. The best part is it's drug or chemical free. I love the feeling of being too sleepy to even pick up my cell phone to check the time. I just crawl into the bed and I am out like a light. So after four months my consensus is that I didn't get ripped off and even though I can't tell you why it works..it does. Thank you for going out on a limb and sharing this with your viewers. Enjoy your family. Thanks again.
He’s got a family of his own now, things will be different. That’s the way it works. I’ve gone through it several times. Glad you’re able to spend whatever time you have with him. Enjoy and make new memories.
I have a couple of comments. First, I never know the names of the things you put on your stool. Thanks for telling Colton (and all of us) that it's Stitch! Second, I've heard of grounding for awhile now, but didn't realize that it was supposed to do all of those things. I thought it was a way to clear your body and balance chakras and get in touch with the universe. Science is proving so many things that we used to consider "woo-woo," and I'm really intrigued by your experience. Thanks for sharing it. I totally believe everything you've related.
I'm also dubious of new agey stuff, and I have to agree grounding definitely has something to it. Blue blocker glasses after sunset truly help with sleep as well.
I just LOVE the smile Colten had when Conner pulled his mask down and he recognized his Daddy. I can SO relate to the joy a grandparent finds in just watching them play. Thankful you got some much needed family time. Don't waste energy on the haters. Earthing is SO effective for my health. Our "smart" "educated" people have forgotten all of this very basic information on how our bodies, our electrical bodies, work and what they need to heal and balance. This is just forgotten information. Thx For Sharing
Thanks for another great video Steve! Being a former Navy man, I can't help but get choked up and misty eyed at the sight of a military man (or woman) coming home for Christmas. Special times, indeed. As an electronics guy, I'm not thrilled with the idea of grounding yourself to the house electrical system. It's probably safe, but I think a safer, potentially more effective option would be to drive a 8 foot grounding rod into the soil close to your bed, and connect to it directly. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to discuss it further! Best wishes for a happy, healthy and safe 2021!
Thanks for the update on sleeping. I tried grounding a few years ago by sitting barefoot in a lawn chair in my backyard. I never knew there's a mat for that! I ordered one today. Thanks for sharing,!
Steve, it is so good to see you in good spirits. I'm glad you are enjoying family time. You are right. Long time viewers will know why you did not release the product you're experimenting with. You like to be thorough and certain that it is actually making a difference. We appreciate this courtesy you extend us, to be our guinea pig. Shame on those people accusing you of being greedy and selfish. For shame!
The video where you described Colton flashing back on his dad broke my heart - I had to stop watching the video at that point, and I honestly couldn't think about it for days without thinking about my own kids, and wishing I had been able to be more available for them in the past. I'm glad to hear the family's together for the holidays.
Oh WOW!!! How amazing to hear that you have started using Earthing. I bought the sleeping mats and the sitting mats about six weeks ago. I have suffered with sleeping problems for over 30 years.. After 6 weeks I am sleeping better and also having vivid dreams that I actually remember. I also had a very bad nervous rash on the back of my neck for about four months. Tried so many things but nothing worked. I now have no rash at all. Another benefit for me has been the adjusting of my female hormones. I have been using bio-identical hormones for about 25 years. They are compounded and very expensive. I have cut back the dosage. The reason knew that I was taking too much was because my breasts were becoming unbelievably painful with large lumps. Pain and lumps are all gone. My anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed are also gone. I know that the longer you are Earthing the more benefits you will experience . I am especially interested on the effects of aging. I am 72 years old and have had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for more that 40 years. My energy is slowly coming back. I have been on Keto for two and a half years. I love and appreciate all your wonderful recipes. Family is the most important thing, especially at this time. Please savor and enjoy every moment. We will keep on Earthing.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It makes me very excited about the benefits I hope I will experience in time. The vivid dreams thing is pretty mind blowing. Every. Single. Night.
I learned about grounding when I first started doing keto. I can’t remember if it was Mark Sisson or who but I love grounding. The problem is I don’t love grounding when it’s 26° outside. Or even 35. Even though cold does produce brown fat. Also I have had insomnia my entire life. I got a weighted blanket from my daughter for Christmas and I thought it was going to die. I’m 62 with no nor hormones due to dvt. The first two nights I slept all night and never woke up. I couldn’t believe it this thing is awesome I am a true believer and I did not get hot
@@SeriousKeto I used to sleep with a whole mattress over me when I was a teenager ... for the same reason. My mother had given away my heavy blanket and replaced it with a heated one. I wanted the heaviness, not the warmth.
Hi, Steve, I've been thinking about all that time you spent in the kitchen for Connor, and then I started imagining the amount of time that HE'S going to spend remembering and appreciating it when he's back on base - so, you know, that gift of your time cooking those special meals for him is going to keep multiplying, every time he remembers it. An excellent investment for a loved one!
Great point. I hope too that at some point, he recognizes how much his mom and I have done to take care of Colton in his absence. Not that we mind, but it feels good to be appreciated.
@@SeriousKeto So true! While at his age, his appreciation might be more in the form of him reliving it when he tells his mates what an excellent dad he has, with maturity and deeper life experiences he'll likely get closer to understanding just how fortunate he's been (think, maybe his 30s!). Hang in there, Dad!
Thank you for sharing about you and your family. If anyone even insinuates that you are biased or just in it for the money then don’t know you through your videos or are just full of themselves. You have intrigued me with the Earthing process. I too suffer from insomnia and I would not have gotten close with a guess on what you are working on. I again thank you for this personal study and look forward to further analysis. Blessings and you and your family!
Thank you for the update, Steve! Happy you can all be together again and will be again after another short stint! I have no doubt about the earthing/grounding thing. From a Christian POV, God made the earth and placed us here, so it makes perfect sense to me. Of courses, I live in south Florida, so I can do more grounding year round without any contraptions. Bare feet on wet grass, beach.... but, mostly, remember how well we sleep when we just spend a good amount of time outside in the fresh air, doing anything whether working or playing. Sleep seems to come easily and deeply. I hope you had a blessed Christmas. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Thank you for sharing that moment - so special! Savor the rest of this special time together; wish we could slow time for you this week. I've never heard of grounding/earthing before. Interesting! Thanks, Steve.
aw Colton's smile, when Connor took off his mask, was so precious!!! earthing reminded me of when I learned about why people love rain even though the day seems gloomier than usual. The negative ions from the rain supposedly boost your mood. (it happens to be raining where I am right now haha.)
My oldest daughter and I have always loved thunderstorms and going barefoot whenever we could. Sad to say that barefoot and dancing in the rain had to stop for me since I developed neuropathy in my feet about 8 yrs ago. But I do take the occassional opportunity to sit in my camp chair, with my sandles off and feet planted firmly on the sod, in the rain. It just feels right.
I would love to hear if the pad continues to help you and Colton. I have 2 kids that have eczema so bad that they get monthly shots for it. They still do not sleep as well as they should. This could be life changing for us.
Our son is also home on leave. After that first time home from basic, they travel in civies...I had the running in slo-mo dream as well, but couldn't tell if it was him with mask & new street clothes...LOL didn't happen, but happy to have some time in the same house! Hard sharing him with friends, but making it work. Enjoy your time!
♥️♥️♥️ how wonderful ♥️♥️♥️ I live in the woods. I believe in grounding. It's too cold right now but I walk in nature everyday and consider it a savior to my sanity. I have investigated grounding and consider it to be true. Tesla, magents, polarity, etc. I would like to investigate it further. When I was experiencing panic attacks coming off prosaic, (in the spring, summer or fall as I'm in SC)I would go outside barefoot. It really helped control panic or made me think it did regardless it worked.👍 I wanna do it just for the dreams that would be neat🌞
Hope you have a wonderful visit with your son and your family! Being with those you love is the most important thing you can do! I'm very interested in the earthing/grounding mat information. I'm lucky to get 4.5-5.5 hours of sleep a night, and it's usually very difficult to get to sleep. I've been eating ketovore for about 5 months now, and have had lots of positive improvements to my health, but not with the sleeping issue. I look forward to seeing part II.
Enjoy your time with your son and family. That’s most important. Thank you for the information about earthing. I have heard about it, just how to start. The articles said to walk outside without shoes. That’s something I can’t do. I will look into the material you mentioned. Thanks again and looking forward to when you can start todo more videos again.
Connor is lucky to have you, as are your kids. A dad who can be vulnerable in front of his kids teach them valuable lessons. I “earth” by walking on the beach and barefoot to check the mail. Much of the paraphernalia is hokey and MLM but the contact with both earth AND sun are very beneficial in my experience. Happy new year Steve. Enjoy your son.
I appreciate that you approach these homeopathic solutions with a healthy dose of skepticism. I'm very interested in hearing your anecdotal evidence though. I think we often overlook too many things that actually do work simply because of a lack of scientific studies that prove (either correctly or incorrectly) that something does or doesn't work.
Oh great, now you tell me about earthing when there is 6" of snow on the ground. I'll definitely look into it. I haven't gotten consistently good sleep in years. And there has only been a handful of times over the past decade that I have remembered a dream. Thanks for the suggestion and for all that you do. Have a happy new year!
So glad to see and hear the holiday is going great. Spend time with your son and family. P.S. I teared up seeing the reunion between Connor and Colton. So sweet! It may not have been the one envisioned but still one to pull at the heartstrings.
My husband and I have been sleeping with an earthing mat under our sheet for a year and what a fantastic change in the way we feel when we wake up. No aches for me and much less for him. Most importantly for me, no migraines! This has become a way of life for us, we earth whenever we can. Even if it's just touching a leaf when we take a walk. Also we use essential oils...amazing! Just life changing
Wow what a proud father you are. Enjoy your family while you are all together. Very interesting podcast I'm not a great sleeper so look forward to your final out come. Cheers
I walk around barefoot in my yard a lot in the summer but in June I had a health crisis and my thyroid freaked out...and I still had trouble sleeping. I then started Keto and that has helped my thyroid a lot since then but I still struggle with sleep. I am 55 and been in menopause since I was 41. I look forward to your review of these earthing mats. So happy you are enjoying great family time.😘
Steve, you do not have to explain yourself to us. I'm investigating earthing for my son who is on the spectrum. There are bed sheets for grounding. I'm open to all possibilities. It's nice seeing you again!
Hi again! I'm very happy to see you're sharing your experiences with Earthing. People are not aware of how much disconnected we can become as adults to the Earth, but just try to remember when you were a kid and (maybe, I don"t know) used to run and play barefoot and felt all that energy and happiness. And wow, you're so right about the dreams, it's quite amazing how vivid they become! And the other thing, maybe sometimes you won't sleep straight the 8-9 hours, maybe sometimes you'll sleep less than that (it has happened to me either), but you won't feel groggy or tired. You'll feel as alert as if you've done the whole night sleep. It takes time to see the improvements, but as for me, it's worth the try. 👍👍👍
A very interesting podcast for sure. I’ve never heard of Earthing but looking forward to reading about it till your next podcast. Keep enjoying your family time. I think you’ll have 100k subscribers by 2021!
So awesome to see Colton finally recognize Daddy. I praying you can enjoy every single second you get. It’s hard when our kids have families of their own. Keep us posted on the earthing. I’ve heard of it before myself. Haven’t done anything with it though.
Re: Earthing/Gounding : on my first, non-keto health awareness/weight loss adventure, I started with acupuncture. The first session felt like all the stale air got released. Then went deeper into that and ended up taking QI Gong (gung) - the "mother of all martial arts" where I learned a pose called Standing in Heaven and Earth. Basically the same principle you describe, but without gadgets. A specific pose combined with quiet, mind emptying time - 10 min minimum - left me sweating, calm and refreshed. Truly amazing and mystifying. The concept of Qi (or chi) goes back a very long way and seems to be a handy word for universal energy. I encourage people to look it up and utilize it. I'm sure the grounding techniques and aids work well, but qi gong is free. Happy New Year Steve and family! 2021 will be better, eventually.
Happy for you and your family that your Son is home. They do grow up so quickly. Wow, I had forgotten about earthing or grounding. It is sooo interesting. ❤IT!!! Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate your 'reasonableness'. 👍 Also, I have a stream running through my property. I like to sit next to it and pick up the 'negative ions'. Not certain it works, but combined with things like walking, early morning sun and 'blues and greens', I think it helps me be the only one in my family not on antidepressants and such.
@@SeriousKeto If the cold weather doesn't permit you to touch the bare earth, then use concrete as a reasonable substitute. Concrete that is not treated is conductive and if it's painted then it's semi-conductive. Concrete basement floors are connected to the earth and concrete is moist so it is a good medium for earthing to occur.Sep 25, 2014. This is from the Earthing store. If you don’t have a basement or any concrete.... I guess you’re out of luck. Best wishes!!
Thanks for the earthing info! My husband and son are exactly like you described yourself and Colton with the skin condition. Definitely going to look into it for them.
I am so happy you are blessed to have your son home with you. We are blessed he is serving our country! Enjoy you time ! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year !
Im late to the game.. but, As a wife of a Retired Army Vet. and mom of 6 army brats I literally started crying happy tears. I knew exactly what you meant and were feeling. I've done this one to many times in the past from basic training to deployments. Don't worry the Army makes sure nothing goes as planned 😉. And Kids are extremely resilient. Thank all of you guys for your service! 💛💜
Please spend all your time with your son. I understand your pain with a son visiting while in the military. It brought back the hurt of the lack of time I wanted with him. BUT it only was for a time. He left the military and we all made up for lost time! Take heart! This too shall pass.
On my word. This mama’s heart is bawling! I am so very happy for your two weeks and all that is happening for/with your family. Praying for all but especially Colton for the nine week push to the boot camp finish line💖
Hi Steve, thanks so much for sharing this. I understand why you were reluctant to share earlier. I just finished watching the documentary on earthing. I found it fascinating and thinking about it I found it makes sense however can also sound like quackery. Although only 5 or so years ago I didn't think of food as medicine either. I'm in Calgary Canada so going outside right now barefoot is not something I wish on anyone. I respect your opinion and will wait for your final verdict and research more on my own before deciding if this is for me or not? Enjoy the rest of your time with your family and thanks again!
I for one appreciate the information and plan on checking it out. I don't know if this has even related to that at all but when I am outside and I walk barefoot through the grass or on the beach I feel a different sense of relief to me it makes sense. Enjoy the family and I loved the video at the airport!!
You are an unusually loving and selfless dad, which will be passed down thru the generations. It’s kind of sad to not get the reciprocation expected, but you handle it with grace. I’m sorry that is the case. Your son will eventually see the light. Earthing is legit.
100K subscribers before 2020 ends! Congratulations and thank you for all you do! Appreciate all the information - looking forward to learning more in 2021👍
Thanks for sharing your sleep experiment. I won't be blindly buying anything but that was interesting. Never heard of it. Also, your son's story is excellent. I hope you have a great time with him!
So happy you're getting some quality time - there's never enough hours in the day during these visits! Also, , pea protein pasta from Great Low Carb Bread Co... It can definitely be fitted into any mac and cheese recipe.
Interesting information about earthing and how it has helped your sleep. I had learned about it several years ago and my parents even bought some of the earthing mats and such for their beds, but it was when my dad was ill before he passed and I think he was just too far past healing to reap the full benefits of it. I have found when I work out in the yard I usually have some muscle soreness the next day, but if I spend some time out there gardening/digging weeds and such without gloves on and barefooted that I really don't experience much muscle soreness at all the next day, so I feel it is a good step to take. I have also been told that if you travel outside of your time zone that you should take your shoes off and walk around in the bare grass wherever it is that you go to (even if it's just 15 or 20 minutes) that will help your body acclimate with the time zone of the new area, and then do the same when you get home. It's supposed to help reduce jet-lag. I just know it helps me feel better, so when I can, I will sit outside with my bare feet on the ground and absorb the sun's rays at the same time and I just feel better overall. I'm glad you're having a great experience with it so far. It is interesting that you're also trying it on your grandson, because he is too young to understand the placebo effect and if that is what's causing the changes versus actual energy assistance. Enjoy the time your son is home and we will see you in the new year ready to go again.
I am a huge Earthing believer 👍❤️👍 I just have the floor pad which I use when sitting at my desk. I’ve also put it near my feet when sleeping. The pad was about 70$ when I bought it 6-7 years ago. I think it was money well spent. I also read the book and it makes sense to me. Happy New Year 🎉🤞👍
I'm glad he made it home for the holidays family time is important. The earthing thing I can see it I lived in Florida and so end hours on the beach and my sleep pattern was alot better, hope you won't get alit of negative Nancys🤣 love your pod cast thank you for all you do the research and all😍💜
Enjoy your time with the fam. Great to hear your son is home. I’ve never heard of earthing until this video. Sounds interesting. I’m not one to dismiss new and different things. I’m open to listening, learning, and trying, new things. I’m going to check out the info you’ve provided. Thanks for letting us know what your experiences have been. I’ve had some terrible sleep, on and off, for the past few months. I chalked it up to stress. I took more magnesium and took the dog for more walks and called it a day. I have a salt lamp and have been using that as well. I thought about going to a salt room. Thanks for the info. I’m definitely going to look into earthing.
YAY! Just seen you have 100K subscribers. You so deserve them after all your hardwork for us this year. Enjoy your time with your family, happy new year x
Hey Steve..love your channel btw. BUT...this grounding thing...wow! I DID watch the grounding documentary..thanks...watched it, and well worth it. What I realize from time to time, is that the more you think you know, you realize you actually know so very little. I’m humbled, and will begin my grounding immediately. Thanks a bunch!
Fascinating I’ve read a bit on Grounding a few years back & I darn near bought a pad; but then didn’t & haven’t really thought much about it since. My sleep has been mostly OK but I have remarked to several people that I have NO (remembered at least) dreams anymore (years gone by now since) so your vivid dreaming is a curiosity. Also I do have an intermittent skin condition that is classified as a less common eczema type (dyshidrotic), it seems less omnipresent since I went Keto, but not entirely absent, so my interest is once more peaked... May need to revisit the whole grounding / earthing topic. Of course now all grounding mats will sell out 😂🤷🏻♂️. Glad you’re enjoying Connor’s being home; let the videos wait; maximize the visitation time, it’ll be passed all too soon & as always thanks for your time & information!
Wow, I understand being wary about “new age” remedies. There are so many things out there that just don’t work, but when you find one that does, it is amazing. I really hope that Earthing works for you. REM Sleep is so very important for our health and you seem to have so much more focus. As for positive charge being odd reference, think of it as being overcharged and you are coming back to neutral center. Take care and be well. Hugs to you and your family.
I never heard of earthing before but it sounds fascinating! I'd be interested in your review on the products you use/like/don't like. Enjoy your time with your son! Thanks for the great videos.
Thank you~! for revealing what you are trying for sleep - much appreciated! Can't wait to give it a try. Please - keep doing what you do... Also, you are rich in Family - fortunate man.
I watched that movie a year or two ago and was intrigued! But I couldn’t find much follow up from others to convince me to go further with Earthing! So so glad for your video on this Steve! 👍
After this week, I expect to get back on my regular video schedule again, with plenty of reviews, recipes and (of course) weekly podcasts. See you in 2021!
Thanks for sharing on earthing. It sounds nutty-yet, *_not._* I have degenerative disc disease and additionally, considerable foot and ankle pain. I think it's worth playing with.
Anecdotally, I've found the tub of hot water helps with all sorts of pain, for several reasons, but I also know that plumbing is grounded. That may be an additional reason lying in the tub could be therapeutic.
See you in 2021
We aren't going anywhere. Your son is. Spend the rest of the year with him. We will se you in the new year. Greetings to you and your family.
Agreed! We will miss you, but family comes first!
Steve I read about grounding a couple of years ago in my search to cure AFIB. I started washing my car in my bare feet and taking my shoes off more like we did when we were kids (barefooting). It didn't seem to help, but that doesn't mean it didn't help in other ways. What finally cured my AFIB was going Keto. Seems I was a sugarholic and didn't realize it. I also read Wheat Bellies but after I decided to cut out sugar and grains and boy it made a lot of sense. Thanks for you continual honesty and enjoy your family time.

I have a couple of comments. First, I never know the names of the things you put on your stool. Thanks for telling Colton (and all of us) that it's Stitch! Second, I've heard of grounding for awhile now, but didn't realize that it was supposed to do all of those things. I thought it was a way to clear your body and balance chakras and get in touch with the universe. Science is proving so many things that we used to consider "woo-woo," and I'm really intrigued by your experience. Thanks for sharing it. I totally believe everything you've related.
I'm also dubious of new agey stuff, and I have to agree grounding definitely has something to it. Blue blocker glasses after sunset truly help with sleep as well.
I wear them all day. Trying to avoid macular degeneration, per my ophthalmologist.
Awwww when he recognized Daddy and smiled, I just cried 😍😭 so beautiful! Thank him for his service.
I just LOVE the smile Colten had when Conner pulled his mask down and he recognized his Daddy. I can SO relate to the joy a grandparent finds in just watching them play.
Thankful you got some much needed family time.
Don't waste energy on the haters.
Earthing is SO effective for my health. Our "smart" "educated" people have forgotten all of this very basic information on how our bodies, our electrical bodies, work and what they need to heal and balance. This is just forgotten information.

Thanks for the update on sleeping. I tried grounding a few years ago by sitting barefoot in a lawn chair in my backyard. I never knew there's a mat for that! I ordered one today. Thanks for sharing,!

"Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind."
I think we have the same Stitch. :-)
It will tie together even more with part two. 😉
Me too, love the concept and character. Fun video as well.
Please thank your son for his service🙏🏼🎄💫💚❤️please enjoy your visit. Happy New year y’all

I love my weighted blanket. It didn't help with insomnia, but I love that feeling like I'm a swaddled baby.
@@SeriousKeto I used to sleep with a whole mattress over me when I was a teenager ... for the same reason. My mother had given away my heavy blanket and replaced it with a heated one. I wanted the heaviness, not the warmth.
You found Earthing!!! So happy for you! Keep it up. It works. Nature Therapy is gold.
Hi, Steve, I've been thinking about all that time you spent in the kitchen for Connor, and then I started imagining the amount of time that HE'S going to spend remembering and appreciating it when he's back on base - so, you know, that gift of your time cooking those special meals for him is going to keep multiplying, every time he remembers it. An excellent investment for a loved one!
Great point. I hope too that at some point, he recognizes how much his mom and I have done to take care of Colton in his absence. Not that we mind, but it feels good to be appreciated.
@@SeriousKeto So true! While at his age, his appreciation might be more in the form of him reliving it when he tells his mates what an excellent dad he has, with maturity and deeper life experiences he'll likely get closer to understanding just how fortunate he's been (think, maybe his 30s!). Hang in there, Dad!
Thank you for sharing about you and your family. If anyone even insinuates that you are biased or just in it for the money then don’t know you through your videos or are just full of themselves. You have intrigued me with the Earthing process. I too suffer from insomnia and I would not have gotten close with a guess on what you are working on. I again thank you for this personal study and look forward to further analysis. Blessings and you and your family!
Absolutely agree on the "grounding" practice...we noticed a difference right away. Happy for you!
Thank you for the update, Steve! Happy you can all be together again and will be again after another short stint! I have no doubt about the earthing/grounding thing. From a Christian POV, God made the earth and placed us here, so it makes perfect sense to me. Of courses, I live in south Florida, so I can do more grounding year round without any contraptions. Bare feet on wet grass, beach.... but, mostly, remember how well we sleep when we just spend a good amount of time outside in the fresh air, doing anything whether working or playing. Sleep seems to come easily and deeply.
I hope you had a blessed Christmas. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Thank you for sharing that moment - so special! Savor the rest of this special time together; wish we could slow time for you this week.
I've never heard of grounding/earthing before. Interesting! Thanks, Steve.
Enjoy! These are the best of times...whole family together.
aw Colton's smile, when Connor took off his mask, was so precious!!! earthing reminded me of when I learned about why people love rain even though the day seems gloomier than usual. The negative ions from the rain supposedly boost your mood. (it happens to be raining where I am right now haha.)
My oldest daughter and I have always loved thunderstorms and going barefoot whenever we could. Sad to say that barefoot and dancing in the rain had to stop for me since I developed neuropathy in my feet about 8 yrs ago. But I do take the occassional opportunity to sit in my camp chair, with my sandles off and feet planted firmly on the sod, in the rain. It just feels right.
OK, Colton's face when he finally recognized his Daddy - priceless! Merry Christmas, Steve. Enjoy your family time!
I would love to hear if the pad continues to help you and Colton. I have 2 kids that have eczema so bad that they get monthly shots for it. They still do not sleep as well as they should. This could be life changing for us.
I’ll definitely keep you updated.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Our son is also home on leave. After that first time home from basic, they travel in civies...I had the running in slo-mo dream as well, but couldn't tell if it was him with mask & new street clothes...LOL didn't happen, but happy to have some time in the same house! Hard sharing him with friends, but making it work. Enjoy your time!
♥️♥️♥️ how wonderful ♥️♥️♥️ I live in the woods. I believe in grounding. It's too cold right now but I walk in nature everyday and consider it a savior to my sanity. I have investigated grounding and consider it to be true. Tesla, magents, polarity, etc. I would like to investigate it further. When I was experiencing panic attacks coming off prosaic, (in the spring, summer or fall as I'm in SC)I would go outside barefoot. It really helped control panic or made me think it did regardless it worked.👍 I wanna do it just for the dreams that would be neat🌞
Hope you have a wonderful visit with your son and your family! Being with those you love is the most important thing you can do! I'm very interested in the earthing/grounding mat information. I'm lucky to get 4.5-5.5 hours of sleep a night, and it's usually very difficult to get to sleep. I've been eating ketovore for about 5 months now, and have had lots of positive improvements to my health, but not with the sleeping issue. I look forward to seeing part II.
Enjoy your time with your son and family. That’s most important. Thank you for the information about earthing. I have heard about it, just how to start. The articles said to walk outside without shoes. That’s something I can’t do. I will look into the material you mentioned. Thanks again and looking forward to when you can start todo more videos again.
Connor is lucky to have you, as are your kids. A dad who can be vulnerable in front of his kids teach them valuable lessons. I “earth” by walking on the beach and barefoot to check the mail. Much of the paraphernalia is hokey and MLM but the contact with both earth AND sun are very beneficial in my experience. Happy new year Steve. Enjoy your son.
I appreciate that you approach these homeopathic solutions with a healthy dose of skepticism. I'm very interested in hearing your anecdotal evidence though. I think we often overlook too many things that actually do work simply because of a lack of scientific studies that prove (either correctly or incorrectly) that something does or doesn't work.
I am very appreciative that you try these products and methods! Thank you Steve!
Oh great, now you tell me about earthing when there is 6" of snow on the ground.
I'll definitely look into it. I haven't gotten consistently good sleep in years. And there has only been a handful of times over the past decade that I have remembered a dream. Thanks for the suggestion and for all that you do. Have a happy new year!
Even the not great nights of sleep, my dreams are SO vivid. That much definitely seems to be an affect of Earthing.
So glad to see and hear the holiday is going great. Spend time with your son and family. P.S. I teared up seeing the reunion between Connor and Colton. So sweet! It may not have been the one envisioned but still one to pull at the heartstrings.
Thank you so much!
OMG...just watched entire documentary on Earthing.....remarkable...I will def try...Thank you again for bringing this forward to us in your video
My husband and I have been sleeping with an earthing mat under our sheet for a year and what a fantastic change in the way we feel when we wake up. No aches for me and much less for him. Most importantly for me, no migraines! This has become a way of life for us, we earth whenever we can. Even if it's just touching a leaf when we take a walk. Also we use essential oils...amazing! Just life changing
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Wow what a proud father you are. Enjoy your family while you are all together. Very interesting podcast I'm not a great sleeper so look forward to your final out come. Cheers
I walk around barefoot in my yard a lot in the summer but in June I had a health crisis and my thyroid freaked out...and I still had trouble sleeping. I then started Keto and that has helped my thyroid a lot since then but I still struggle with sleep. I am 55 and been in menopause since I was 41. I look forward to your review of these earthing mats. So happy you are enjoying great family time.😘
Steve, you do not have to explain yourself to us.
I'm investigating earthing for my son who is on the spectrum. There are bed sheets for grounding. I'm open to all possibilities.
It's nice seeing you again!
Hi again! I'm very happy to see you're sharing your experiences with Earthing. People are not aware of how much disconnected we can become as adults to the Earth, but just try to remember when you were a kid and (maybe, I don"t know) used to run and play barefoot and felt all that energy and happiness. And wow, you're so right about the dreams, it's quite amazing how vivid they become! And the other thing, maybe sometimes you won't sleep straight the 8-9 hours, maybe sometimes you'll sleep less than that (it has happened to me either), but you won't feel groggy or tired. You'll feel as alert as if you've done the whole night sleep. It takes time to see the improvements, but as for me, it's worth the try. 👍👍👍
Spend time with the family! You're an amazing parent and grandparent!
Thank you for the kind words.🙂
A very interesting podcast for sure. I’ve never heard of Earthing but looking forward to reading about it till your next podcast.
Keep enjoying your family time.
I think you’ll have 100k subscribers by 2021!
Seriously the best grandpa ever!
So awesome to see Colton finally recognize Daddy. I praying you can enjoy every single second you get. It’s hard when our kids have families of their own. Keep us posted on the earthing. I’ve heard of it before myself. Haven’t done anything with it though.
Re: Earthing/Gounding : on my first, non-keto health awareness/weight loss adventure, I started with acupuncture. The first session felt like all the stale air got released. Then went deeper into that and ended up taking QI Gong (gung) - the "mother of all martial arts" where I learned a pose called Standing in Heaven and Earth. Basically the same principle you describe, but without gadgets. A specific pose combined with quiet, mind emptying time - 10 min minimum - left me sweating, calm and refreshed. Truly amazing and mystifying. The concept of Qi (or chi) goes back a very long way and seems to be a handy word for universal energy. I encourage people to look it up and utilize it. I'm sure the grounding techniques and aids work well, but qi gong is free. Happy New Year Steve and family! 2021 will be better, eventually.
Thanks for sharing and happy new year to you as well.
@@SeriousKeto 💖
Also, SOOO close to 100k!!! Congrats in advance!!
Yes. So close! Congratulations!!
Thank you for sharing Steve..... my husband has trouble sleeping like you. I will look into this😊
I am glad you are enjoy your time with your son and family take it all in.
Happy for you and your family that your Son is home. They do grow up so quickly.
Wow, I had forgotten about earthing or grounding. It is sooo interesting. ❤IT!!! Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate your 'reasonableness'. 👍 Also, I have a stream running through my property. I like to sit next to it and pick up the 'negative ions'. Not certain it works, but combined with things like walking, early morning sun and 'blues and greens', I think it helps me be the only one in my family not on antidepressants and such.
Thank you, Steve! Enjoy your time with your family! Happy New Year!!!
The Earthing sounds interesting. I'm unable to afford to purchase any of it but I'm looking forward to hearing more about how it's helping you.
Time will tell....
Nothing to purchase....put your bare feet on the earth!
@@lindagivens8882 that can be a bit of a challenge depending on where you live and the time of year. 😉
@@SeriousKeto If the cold weather doesn't permit you to touch the bare earth, then use concrete as a reasonable substitute. Concrete that is not treated is conductive and if it's painted then it's semi-conductive. Concrete basement floors are connected to the earth and concrete is moist so it is a good medium for earthing to occur.Sep 25, 2014. This is from the Earthing store. If you don’t have a basement or any concrete.... I guess you’re out of luck. Best wishes!!
Thanks for the earthing info! My husband and son are exactly like you described yourself and Colton with the skin condition. Definitely going to look into it for them.
Thank you for the heads up on the grounding items info 🎈 have fun with your son 🎈I have been there in your shoes it is difficult💞🎈
I am so happy you are blessed to have your son home with you. We are blessed he is serving our country!
Enjoy you time !
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year !
Such a wonderful family; congratulations,such a sweet homecoming video!
Hey Steve. Your channel is such a blessing to me, I hope you're having a blessed time with your family this holiday season. Looking forward to 2021.
Interesting Earthing results, thanks for sharing.
Family first, last, always! Enjoy your family time
Im late to the game.. but, As a wife of a Retired Army Vet. and mom of 6 army brats I literally started crying happy tears. I knew exactly what you meant and were feeling. I've done this one to many times in the past from basic training to deployments. Don't worry the Army makes sure nothing goes as planned 😉. And Kids are extremely resilient. Thank all of you guys for your service! 💛💜
Please spend all your time with your son. I understand your pain with a son visiting while in the military. It brought back the hurt of the lack of time I wanted with him. BUT it only was for a time. He left the military and we all made up for lost time! Take heart! This too shall pass.
Thank you for bringing up grounding, I investigated it years ago but need to revisit it.
What a joy to see his homecoming! Ìt made my heart glad. So happy for you. Enjoy this time; as you know it goes way too fast.
On my word. This mama’s heart is bawling! I am so very happy for your two weeks and all that is happening for/with your family. Praying for all but especially Colton for the nine week push to the boot camp finish line💖
Thank you so much!!
Hi Steve, thanks so much for sharing this. I understand why you were reluctant to share earlier. I just finished watching the documentary on earthing. I found it fascinating and thinking about it I found it makes sense however can also sound like quackery. Although only 5 or so years ago I didn't think of food as medicine either. I'm in Calgary Canada so going outside right now barefoot is not something I wish on anyone. I respect your opinion and will wait for your final verdict and research more on my own before deciding if this is for me or not? Enjoy the rest of your time with your family and thanks again!
I for one appreciate the information and plan on checking it out. I don't know if this has even related to that at all but when I am outside and I walk barefoot through the grass or on the beach I feel a different sense of relief to me it makes sense.
Enjoy the family and I loved the video at the airport!!
You are an unusually loving and selfless dad, which will be passed down thru the generations. It’s kind of sad to not get the reciprocation expected, but you handle it with grace. I’m sorry that is the case. Your son will eventually see the light.
Earthing is legit.
100K subscribers before 2020 ends! Congratulations and thank you for all you do! Appreciate all the information - looking forward to learning more in 2021👍
Enjoy your family
Thanks for sharing your sleep experiment. I won't be blindly buying anything but that was interesting. Never heard of it. Also, your son's story is excellent. I hope you have a great time with him!
So happy you're getting some quality time - there's never enough hours in the day during these visits!
Also, , pea protein pasta from Great Low Carb Bread Co... It can definitely be fitted into any mac and cheese recipe.
Interesting. I'll keep my eyes open for it...
Thank you. This is something I have been looking into but not really experimented with. Now I am even more interested to learn more.
Very interesting about the Earthing! Fun to hear about your quality time with the family. Happy almost new year!
Stich ohauna means family. So happy you get time with Connor.
Interesting information about earthing and how it has helped your sleep. I had learned about it several years ago and my parents even bought some of the earthing mats and such for their beds, but it was when my dad was ill before he passed and I think he was just too far past healing to reap the full benefits of it. I have found when I work out in the yard I usually have some muscle soreness the next day, but if I spend some time out there gardening/digging weeds and such without gloves on and barefooted that I really don't experience much muscle soreness at all the next day, so I feel it is a good step to take. I have also been told that if you travel outside of your time zone that you should take your shoes off and walk around in the bare grass wherever it is that you go to (even if it's just 15 or 20 minutes) that will help your body acclimate with the time zone of the new area, and then do the same when you get home. It's supposed to help reduce jet-lag. I just know it helps me feel better, so when I can, I will sit outside with my bare feet on the ground and absorb the sun's rays at the same time and I just feel better overall. I'm glad you're having a great experience with it so far. It is interesting that you're also trying it on your grandson, because he is too young to understand the placebo effect and if that is what's causing the changes versus actual energy assistance. Enjoy the time your son is home and we will see you in the new year ready to go again.
Thanks for sharing your experience. 🙂
Wheat Belly is great book. I agree. I too thought the same way.
99.9K WOW! Thank you for the video. Always a pleasure.💚❤️
So close!
@@SeriousKeto - 🙏🏼
It's tough being back at work after 4 days off for the holiday and I am soo excited for the content.
I am a huge Earthing believer 👍❤️👍 I just have the floor pad which I use when sitting at my desk. I’ve also put it near my feet when sleeping. The pad was about 70$ when I bought it 6-7 years ago. I think it was money well spent. I also read the book and it makes sense to me.
Happy New Year 🎉🤞👍
Thanks for sharing!!
I'm glad he made it home for the holidays family time is important. The earthing thing I can see it I lived in Florida and so end hours on the beach and my sleep pattern was alot better, hope you won't get alit of negative Nancys🤣 love your pod cast thank you for all you do the research and all😍💜
Enjoy your time with the fam. Great to hear your son is home. I’ve never heard of earthing until this video. Sounds interesting. I’m not one to dismiss new and different things. I’m open to listening, learning, and trying, new things. I’m going to check out the info you’ve provided. Thanks for letting us know what your experiences have been. I’ve had some terrible sleep, on and off, for the past few months. I chalked it up to stress. I took more magnesium and took the dog for more walks and called it a day. I have a salt lamp and have been using that as well. I thought about going to a salt room. Thanks for the info. I’m definitely going to look into earthing.
Enjoy your time together ❤️ I’m going to do some earthing research. I haven’t heard of this and I’m usually up on new things like that
YAY! Just seen you have 100K subscribers. You so deserve them after all your hardwork for us this year. Enjoy your time with your family, happy new year x
Thank you! You too!
Hey Steve..love your channel btw. BUT...this grounding thing...wow! I DID watch the grounding documentary..thanks...watched it, and well worth it. What I realize from time to time, is that the more you think you know, you realize you actually know so very little. I’m humbled, and will begin my grounding immediately. Thanks a bunch!
This is awesome. Colton's smile when he realizes the man in the mask is Dad tells the story.
Enjoy the time together. We'll be here when you get back!
Fascinating I’ve read a bit on Grounding a few years back & I darn near bought a pad; but then didn’t & haven’t really thought much about it since.
My sleep has been mostly OK but I have remarked to several people that I have NO (remembered at least) dreams anymore (years gone by now since) so your vivid dreaming is a curiosity. Also I do have an intermittent skin condition that is classified as a less common eczema type (dyshidrotic), it seems less omnipresent since I went Keto, but not entirely absent, so my interest is once more peaked... May need to revisit the whole grounding / earthing topic. Of course now all grounding mats will sell out 😂🤷🏻♂️. Glad you’re enjoying Connor’s being home; let the videos wait; maximize the visitation time, it’ll be passed all too soon & as always thanks for your time & information!
Glad ur trying things to help with sleep! So important!
Wow, I understand being wary about “new age” remedies. There are so many things out there that just don’t work, but when you find one that does, it is amazing. I really hope that Earthing works for you. REM Sleep is so very important for our health and you seem to have so much more focus. As for positive charge being odd reference, think of it as being overcharged and you are coming back to neutral center. Take care and be well. Hugs to you and your family.
I never heard of earthing before but it sounds fascinating! I'd be interested in your review on the products you use/like/don't like. Enjoy your time with your son! Thanks for the great videos.
I read about Earthing last year and it is interesting. Thanks for the reminder. I'll go back to reading more about it.
This is super interesting about the Earthing! Gonna check into this! Thanks Steve💜
Thank you~! for revealing what you are trying for sleep - much appreciated!
Can't wait to give it a try. Please - keep doing what you do...
Also, you are rich in Family - fortunate man.
Great on the family time. It’s a tough time with soldiers
I watched that movie a year or two ago and was intrigued! But I couldn’t find much follow up from others to convince me to go further with Earthing! So so glad for your video on this Steve! 👍
I just found this today! Another video of testimonials from grounding! 😄

Thanks to Connor for his service.
