Take Back Your Life: Exercise, Prayer, Grounding & Creative Living
Dr. Bravata's prescription for reclaiming your life goes beyond diet — it includes exercise, prayer, music, creativity, and the ancient practice of grounding.
Take Back Your Life: Exercise, Prayer, Grounding & Creative Living
"Maintain a healthy, well-rounded, holistic lifestyle that includes not just the food you eat but how you move, think, and interact with the world." — Kurt Bravata, M.D., Live Free or Diet
Exercise
"Exercise increases blood flow, strengthens muscles, purifies the body of toxins, and raises endorphin levels. It reduces chronic pain and lowers cognitive stress and anxiety."
A comprehensive program includes aerobics, strength training, flexibility training, and balance training.
Prayer
"Prayer is a powerful tool to change our mindsets and to improve outcomes for ourselves and others. Praying over meals is a great way to pause, to elicit gratitude for what we are about to eat."
Grounding (Earthing)
Walking barefoot on grass, sand, or soil connects you to the Earth's negative electrical charge. Research shows grounding reduces inflammation, improves sleep, enhances mood, boosts immune function, and accelerates healing.
Creativity
"It all starts with a tiny spark of genius, which once ignited through active thought begins to burn brighter and brighter with each active step taken to manifest the vision as a physical reality."
