Podcasts about mattresses

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, About a year ago, before I discovered you and your podcasts, my husband and I invested in a $4000 Tempurpedic mattress. I know that memory foam is generally synthetic and was wondering if you have recommendations to reduce any toxic effects? The instructions when we first received the mattress were to allow it to "air out" for a day, which we did. We now also sleep with an air filter in our bedroom. Any other suggestions or comments about Tempurpedic or memory foam mattresses in general? Thank you.                                                                                                                          Anonymous: Hi, this has been happening for a while & I am wondering what it means. When I wake up the inside of my nose stigns quite a lot. Sometimes it also happens during the day or it lasts throughout the day but mostly it's the worst as soon as I wake up. It's really annoying and then I usually rub my nose on the outside a lot until it subsides but it's so weird and I have no idea what it means. Please help!                                                                                                                                Lindsay: Hi Dr Cabral, I looked over your information already given on acid reflex. I have two questions. What are the long term effects of omeprazole. What is a natural alternative? Thank you, Lindsay                                                                               Anonymous: Hello Dr. C, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to reach out regarding an issue I've been experiencing. I have noticed an increase in heart rate after consuming alcohol. I never had any issues with occasional drinking prior. However, since having my first child and taking nearly two years off from alcohol, I now experience a racing heart whenever I drink. I've tried staying well-hydrated beforehand, but the issue persists. I have done a FM detox + Parasite detox in this 2 year period as well. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on what might be causing this change, especially since it wasn't a problem in the past. Could it be a histamine issue or an overflowing rain barrel still?                                       Jennifer: Thank you for all you do, Dr. Cabral! Your energy and drive inspire me! My Dad has to take Warfarin to thin his blood. What may be root causes for thickening of the blood?

The salient point of today's discourse revolves around the notable shift in consumer behavior, wherein homeowners are increasingly opting for renovation over relocation. Recent research elucidates that this trend is primarily driven by rising interest rates and fluctuating housing prices, prompting individuals to invest in home improvements rather than undertaking the challenges of moving. This paradigm shift is generating significant repercussions within the furniture industry, as homeowners seek to enhance their living spaces by acquiring new furnishings that complement their renovation efforts. Consequently, this trend presents an invaluable opportunity for retailers and manufacturers to engage in targeted marketing and product development aligned with these home improvement projects. Furthermore, the episode delves into the implications of e-commerce, consumer financing options, and the necessity for retailers to adopt innovative strategies to remain competitive in an evolving marketplace.The contemporary landscape of the furniture industry is witnessing a profound shift, as homeowners increasingly favor renovation over relocation, a trend spurred by the current economic climate characterized by rising interest rates and fluctuating housing prices. This episode delves into the implications of this phenomenon, elucidating how it catalyzes a burgeoning demand for new furniture as individuals invest in enhancing their living spaces. The dialogue emphasizes the strategic opportunities this trend presents for retailers and manufacturers, highlighting the necessity for targeted marketing and innovative product development that aligns with contemporary home improvement projects. As homeowners reassess their living environments, the appetite for outdoor furniture, multifunctional pieces, and home office setups has surged, compelling industry professionals to collaborate with home improvement services and interior designers. Consequently, the episode advocates for the creation of bundled offerings and renovation-focused promotions, enabling retailers to effectively tap into the expanding market of homeowners eager to transform their residences without the burden of relocation.Takeaways: The increasing inclination of homeowners towards renovation rather than relocation underscores a significant shift in consumer behavior, particularly amidst rising interest rates and fluctuating housing prices. Furniture retailers must seize the opportunity presented by the home renovation trend by developing targeted marketing strategies and product lines that align with consumers' evolving needs. The integration of artificial intelligence and social commerce platforms is revolutionizing the furniture retail landscape, enhancing customer engagement and sales performance for those who adapt quickly. The adoption of Buy Now, Pay Later options is proving advantageous for retailers, as these flexible payment plans are increasingly appealing to budget-conscious consumers making significant purchases.

We are in the second chunk of Dash & Lily, this week we are covering episode 3 titled Hanukkah & episode 4 titled Cinderella. In Dash & Lily's ongoing quest to get to know each other through notebook entries, they each challenge each other with dares to get out of their respective comfort zones, with mixed results. In this episode we: revisit Mixers the hot new singles club located in our living room that has everything (including drink equality), wonder aloud if the bar called The Rhythm Room has anything to do with contraceptives, and contemplate if line cutting is the root of New Yorkers surly attitudes (because there is a ton in this series). This whole episode is Christmas magic with a few sprinkles of dark, brooding, observations which are a perfect combination just like Dash & Lily.

If your partner is constantly snoring, hogging the blanket, or tossing and turning every five minutes, and you're finding it increasingly challenging to share a bed, know that you're not alone. A 2017 study revealed that while 50% of those surveyed claim to sleep as a couple, 41% prefer solo slumber, and 54% feel sleep-deprived. There are some tricks to make co-sleeping more manageable. First off, it's crucial to pick the right bed. Mattresses now come in a much wider range of sizes than before. The bigger the bed, the more comfortable you'll both be. A 2012 study by the Bedding Association found that couples switching to 160 by 200 cm beds experienced a 15% increase in sleep time. For partners who move a lot during the night, twin beds could be a solution - two single beds pushed together allow for personal space while sharing a room. That will significantly help preserve your sleep if your partner tends to have restless sleep. And what if my other half is a blanket thief? Now, what if your partner has nightmares or shouts in their sleep? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Malcolm Gladwell describes the 1997 crash of Korean Air Flight 801. The pilot was experienced and in good health. The aircraft was in perfect working order. As the flight approached Guam, the Ground Proximity Warning System alerted the pilot that the plane was within five hundred feet of the ground. Unable to see the runway in the rain, the first officer suggested aborting the landing and circling around for another attempt. The captain, however, was slow to respond. Before the plane could recover altitude, it hit the side of nearby Nimitz Hill, killing 228 of the 254 passengers. It's not just plane crashes.  How do… ·         People end up homeless on the street ·         End up in terrible disfunctional relationships ·         End up deeply in debt and in a terrible financial situation ·         End up slaves to alcohol, drugs or porn ·         End up in jail or prison This chapter offers insight in how we can end up in a situation we never dreamed could happen to us… 1.      The Death of John the Baptist, 14:1-12 14 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus, 2 and he said to his attendants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.” 3 Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, 4 for John had been saying to him: “It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people, because they considered John a prophet. 6 On Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much 7 that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. 8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” 9 The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted 10 and had John beheaded in the prison. 11 His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. 12 John's disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus. ·         This is a sidebar in the narrative about Jesus.  Its importance is in closing the loop on what happened to John and also to foreshadow what would happen to Jesus.  Matthew 17:12, 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” ·         1-3  John's death is recounted in a “flashback” formula.  Herod hears about Jesus and immediately connects Jesus to John whom he had murdered.  Herod had hosted a feast, which contrasts with the feast Jesus provides in the following section.  Herod is freaking out and imagining Jesus has reappeared.  This happens today with people who have passed away, like sightings of Elvis. ·         Anatomy of a bad decision. o   Herod and Herodias are like Ahab and Jezebel part two.  Their marriage is a sham.  John the Baptist had continually told Herod that it wasn't right to marry this woman, but he did it anyway.  This kind of stubbornness led to one of the worst decisions on record, murdering John the Baptist.  John is the guy Jesus praised as the greatest prophet of all time.  I don't want to think about what happened to Herod when he faced Jesus.  But I think this points out something that commonly happens today on a smaller scale.  Now I want to talk specifically to guys today.  o   Guys are on the run.  James Dobson highlighted this about twenty years ago in his book “Bringing Up Boys” when he titled a chapter, “Men “R” Dumb.”  Society is going after guys.  They are easy targets.  Look at recent movies like Frozen, Twisters and others.  Who is the hero?  Is it the man?  No!  The man is often the bad guy or lovable loser.   Go through the bookstore and pick out a bestseller.  Chances are the hero is going to be a woman.  This is a big shift. o   Herod comes across as a fool in this story, why?  Let's take it apart: §  He commits adultery.  He marries his brothers wife while his brother is still alive. §  He messes with the wrong woman.  Herodias.  She is the boss, she's the one in charge, the one organizing the “hit.” Herod is simply a puppet in her hands. §  He's passive, he lets things happen. §  Sexuality is involved  §  Alcohol is involved §  Peer pressure is at play §  He doesn't control his words §  Pride.  He doesn't back out when he's made a mistake, he allows pride to guide him down the road of destruction.  He should have said, this is stupid, I'm being manipulated.  Instead, he does something so wrong, it's impossible to take back. §  The momentum and inertia from too many mistakes takes over.  Malcolm Gladwell talks about this in one of his books.  Most air disasters don't happen after just one mistake.  There is one mistake, then another and they slowly compile until something massive goes wrong and the plane goes down. ·         “In a typical crash, for example, the weather is poor—not terrible, necessarily, but bad enough that the pilot feels a little bit more stressed than usual. In an overwhelming number of crashes, the plane is behind schedule, so the pilots are hurrying. In 52 percent of crashes, the pilot at the time of the accident has been awake for twelve hours or more, meaning that he is tired and not thinking sharply. And 44 percent of the time, the two pilots have never flown together before, so they're not comfortable with each other. Then the errors start—and it's not just one error. The typical accident involves seven consecutive human errors. One of the pilots does something wrong that by itself is not a problem. Then one of them makes another error on top of that, which combined with the first error still does not amount to catastrophe. But then they make a third error on top of that, and then another and another and another and another, and it is the combination of all those errors that leads to disaster.” o   For men today, we can end up following the same path: §  We mess with the wrong woman.  Instead of a godly woman, we start dating those who don't follow Jesus passionately.  Women are like Kryptonite to men.  All the greats have been taken down by women:  David, Soloman, Samson.  §  We are passive.  We let the woman lead us instead of leading as God desires and designed.  Go to many churches and who do you find?  Women.  Where are the guys?  At home worshipping at St. Mattresses or St. Maddens.  We don't stand up and do what's right.  Slowly we are led to a place that we can't get out of. §  Sexuality.  Porn, impurity, temptation weakens us. §  Alcohol.  Paul says “Do not get drunk on wine which leads to debauchery.”  Alcohol leads to bad decisions.  §  Peer pressure.  Once we allow our friends or family to guide our decision making, it's nearly impossible to make changes.  §  Rash words.  We say things and make promises that are foolish.  Then we get held to those stupid words.  §  Pride is the final nail in the coffin.  Pride keeps us from making a change when we know we are way off course.  Instead of backing out, we plunge into destruction.  ·         Examples:  I was counting the cost with a young man and asked him, “What do you see as the biggest challenge facing you?  If Satan wanted to take you out spiritually, what would he do?”  The man answered, “Send a woman into my life.”  A few months later, this man started dating a woman and he abandoned his relationship with Christ.”  He knew it in advance and still fell. ·         Challenge: o   What situation are you caught in?  Do you feel trapped, closed in, boxed in with limited options.  That's a sign you may be stuck in Herod's dilemma. o   Some of us are falling right into Herod's dilemma.  We are involved with the wrong woman or man.  We are drifting away from God, passively allowing it to happen.  Sexuality and alcohol may be contributing toward it.  We've said things that were stupid and now we're afraid of making a change and looking foolish.  So we are stuck in a situation of our own making. o   If you want to be strong, you have to stand up, step back and look at your situation with fresh eyes.  Renounce the words you've spoken.  Break up with the wrong woman and turn back toward God. o   Get some help. Gladwell goes on to say, §  “These seven errors, furthermore, are rarely problems of knowledge or flying skill. It's not that the pilot has to negotiate some critical technical maneuver and fails. The kinds of errors that cause plane crashes are invariably errors of teamwork and communication. One pilot knows something important and somehow doesn't tell the other pilot. One pilot does something wrong, and the other pilot doesn't catch the error.”  The copilot told the pilot they were too low, but the pilot refused to listen. §  Herod had no one in his life.  He didn't have a copilot.  If you are a disciple and you need help you can reach out for help.  Unfortunately, when we get into bad situations, we often try to hide it and keep it from others.  We get prideful  That's where discipling can make all the difference.  One spiritual talk with another disciple can often make all the difference.  Don't be like Herod.  Don't get caught in Herod's dilemma.  Stubborn, isolated, compounding mistakes until he finally crashes and burns and commits the worst sin imaginable.

Our guest is Jack Dell'Accio, the CEO of Essentia. Essentia has been working on non toxic, organic mattresses for 20 years. Of most importance to Jack is the impact of restorative sleep in terms of recovery from disease, prevention of disease, longevity, and performance. He's funded a bunch of research on sleep quality and has worked directly with health gurus including myself, professional athletes, various teams in the NBA, NFL, MLS, and over 25% of active NHL players on creating healthy sleep performance. Essentia's organic mattress has been recognized by several internationally renowned organizations including the Mayo Clinic's Well Living Lab, and has been named the #1 foam mattress by Consumer Reports for seven consecutive years. If you're a long time listener or you've read some of my books, you understand how getting a lot of sleep is probably not good for you. If it's more than eight hours, your chances of dying are higher than people who get seven hours a night. The reason I wanted to have Jack on the show today is to go over the latest data on how sleeping on an organic Essentia mattress can improve REM and deep sleep by between 20 and 60 percent. Remember—it's not the volume, it's the quality of sleep that matters. Jack provides actionable data on how to improve the quality of your sleep through ensuring your mattress is supporting you from a biological standpoint, so you can make every minute count. We explore what the organic Essentia mattress is made of and the technology that sets it apart from others on the market. We also share our tips for getting the best quality sleep you can get, and how getting regular deep sleep impacts all other areas of your life.00:02:35 — How Non-Toxic Essentia Mattresses Support Sleep on a Chemical Level• Why athletes aren't able to sleep well• The number 1 thing impacting your sleep quality • Environmental toxins' impact on brain metabolism• Why comfort might not be the most important factor in your mattress• Shop: myessentia.com/daveasprey• How Essentia prevents mold in mattresses• Why putting quartz in mattresses is beneficial for blood cell performance• Exploring the science behind quantum effects00:26:34 — Unraveling Sleep Secrets: Longevity, Light & Legislation• Measuring heart rate variability to determine quality of sleep• How long the people who live the longest sleep • True Dark: truedark.com• The implications of the government's ban on all incandescent light bulbs• Why there's legislation around what mattresses are made of• The resistance Jack received from chemists in removing chemicals from mattresses• How a decrease in sleep quality can accelerate the rate of aging • The Bulletproof Diet: daveasprey.com/roadmap00:44:40 — Biohacking Rule #1: Prioritize Quality Sleep• The importance of rest for recovery and performance• Sleep: sleepwithdave.com• Mattresses for women versus men• Sleep hacks for temperature management• The specs, content and density of the Essentia Mattress• Upgrade Labs: ownupgradelabs.com• Biohacking Conference: biohackingconference.com• How to determine if a company's marketing claims are real or fake• Exposing marketing over substance in the mattress industry• Mold Documentary: moldymovie.com• What Jack is developing to improve people's wellness through sleepResources:Upgrade your sleep today!
