Grounding - How touching the Earth gives you mega gains

Grounding or earthing refers to direct contact with the surface of the Earth, such as bare feet on grass, swimming in the ocean or connecting to Earth with conductive material, like copper.  

Studies demonstrate, and people claim (myself included), that grounding enhances aspects of health like sleep and mood, chronic pain and inflammation, wound healing and exercise recovery, circadian rhythms and blood glucose, and other benefits.

The hypothesis: The planet has an unlimited supply of free electrons (negatively charged particles). Touching the planet permits these electrons to flow into our bodies. As free electrons enter our bodies, they bond with free radicals. Free radicals are positively charged and highly reactive because they lack electrons. Free radicals damage everything they touch. This process of the Earth donating electrons to free radicals, rendering them harmless, is anti-oxidation. In other words, planet Earth is the biggest antioxidant ever. It’s also free…unlimited…and everywhere.

How to check your testosterone (in 10 minutes) for $30 - with no Dr. or insurance.

How to test your testosterone

I use discounted labs because they're cheap ($30.45) and have locations everywhere. 

  1. Purchase the test online. Begin with the basic “total and free testosterone” test.
  2. Choose a local lab (at your convenience) and give one small vial of blood. (almost painless)
  3. The results are emailed within 5-10 business days. 

They accept walk-ins or appointments. This is all done without insurance or a doctor. 

LabCorp opens at 7 a.m., and I recommend going then to avoid waiting. You can realistically be in and out in 5 minutes flat. Also, testosterone declines throughout the day so going in the morning will give you a more accurate result. Be sure to go at the same time for every subsequent test.

Because eating can effect testosterone levels, I recommend eating breakfast after the blood draw. 

If you happen to learn that your testosterone is low, check out the article I wrote on how I boosted mine by 122%.

How I Increased My Testosterone by 290% without hormone therapy or sport supplementation.

There exist thousands of methods for (allegedly) boosting testosterone and I’ve tried many. But no one wants a thousand extra things to think about. We want a handful of things to put on auto-pilot.

I kept what I suspect had the biggest return on investment and organized a list of Nutrition, Lifestyle habits and Supplements. I hope it helps you.

How to Drink and Still Stay Fit

How to Drink and Still Stay Fit

I made this video when I went to the Long Beach Grand Prix with my girl for my buddy's birthday. I knew the day would be full of drinking, so I took some steps to stay healthy and avoid a nasty hangover.

In this video, I show you the meals I ate and the supplements I took to fuel me through what ended up being 12 hours and 20+ drinks. I managed to keep my glucose levels in check and was even feeling pretty good at work the next day.

SUPERCHARGE YOUR MORNING IN 3.5 MINUTES

SUPERCHARGE YOUR MORNING IN 3.5 MINUTES

I love starting my day with a solid routine that blasts me out the door feeling like a goddamn man. Over the years I’ve ironed out a few morning rituals I think you might like. Two ideas I focus are streamlining and fueling.  These routines are for the days I'm getting after it. I enjoy slow paced mornings spent in my undies and chillin too. This article is not about one of those mornings. This article is about gabe day.
