The Functional Health Podcast

Dr. Gaetan Chevalier is an engineering physicist, professor, author, and research scientist in the fields of fusion and plasma physics, biophotons, biofield, and electrophysiology. He received his PhD in Engineering Physics from the University of Montreal Polytechnic School with specializations in atomic physics and laser spectroscopy. He then spent four years researching plasma physics and nuclear fusion at UCLA and then served as a professor at the California Institute for Human Science (CIHS). Dr. Chevalier is currently on the research faculty at CIHS, a visiting scholar in the Department of Family Medicine & Public Health in the School of Medicine at UC San Diego, Director of the Earthing Institute, and Research Director at Psy-Tek. It was incredible to speak to him and learn about the science backed benefits of grounding yourself to the earth. Something I once thought complete bunkum! In this fascinating episode we discuss:

• What is grounding or earthing
