  Stu (00:44): This week, I'm excited to welcome Rob from The Grounded Athlete. Rob is a professional sprinter and the founder of The Grounded Athlete and GAIA Grounding Sandals. The Grounded Athlete is a platform used to spread the awareness about the electrophysiological process of grounding along with its healing properties. In this episode, we talk about the science supporting grounding and how we can determine the tell-tale signs that we may need to reconnect to the earth. Over to Rob.

  Stu (01:14): Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition, and I am delighted to welcome Rob from The Grounded Athlete to the podcast. Rob, mate, how are you?

  Rob (01:22): I am fantastic, Stu. I'm happy to be here talking about grounding with you.

  Stu (01:26): Oh, excellent. Look, I am so excited about grounding, and we were just saying off-air, you've made grounding cool, and I think there's a lot of things that we can take out of that, perhaps, that we might not already know, but I'm kind of interested to get you take on that. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

  Rob (01:51): Right. So I started The Grounded Athlete in summer of 2020, right when COVID was kind of just getting really started and all that. I wanted to do something really fulfilling with my life and what better way to do that than teach people about something that's made a big impact in my life? That's grounding. I first found out about grounding as an athlete, because as an athlete, you were always looking for ways to better yourself, and grounding was one of those things that I found that made a pretty significant impact in my life, and in my training, and in my health so I made it my mission to tell other people about this really, really cool phenomenon.
