84. Is Grounding & PEMF The Same? 20 Year Grounding / Earthing Expert - Dr. Gaétan Chevalier
About this episode
Is grounding the same as PEMF therapy, or are they completely different? We sat down with Dr. Gaétan Chevalier, one of the world’s leading experts in earthing/grounding, to unpack the science behind reconnecting with the Earth. We explore what grounding actually is, whether “grounding” or “earthing” is the correct term, how long you need to be grounded for measurable effects, and how electrons from the Earth move through the body. Dr. Chevalier breaks down the key mechanisms researchers believe are involved, from improving blood flow and separating red blood cells to reducing inflammation, reducing pain, and helping regulate cortisol. We also discuss different grounding methods and products, best practices for using them, and the big question we get asked all the time: how grounding compares with PEMF therapy, where they differ, where they overlap, and whether they can be used together as part of a recovery or wellness protocol, while also clearing up common myths, including whether grounding protects against things like Wi-Fi and 5G.
