Clint Ober

Grounding Pioneer & Author Earthing Institute

About

Clint Ober is the pioneer of the grounding (earthing) movement and author of "Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!" A former cable television executive, Ober became interested in electrical grounding after noticing that modern rubber-soled shoes insulate humans from the earth's electrical charge.

In the late 1990s, Ober began experimenting with grounding himself during sleep and noticed improvements in pain and sleep quality. This led him to fund research into the physiological effects of grounding, which has now produced dozens of peer-reviewed studies.

While critics note that much grounding research has been funded by Ober's companies, his work has brought scientific attention to a phenomenon that was previously dismissed as pseudoscience. He founded Earthing.com, which sells grounding products.
