Most sleep supplements were built around one idea: make you sleepy. But if you have ever felt tired but wired at bedtime, you already know that making yourself drowsy does not guarantee a good night's sleep. In this episode, Carl Pradelli, CEO and Co-Founder of NatureCity, explains why modern sleep support has to do more.
Carl co-founded NatureCity over 20 years ago with his wife, Beth, and the company has since served more than 500,000 Americans. Poor sleep is rarely just a bedtime problem. It is often a brain overstimulation problem, a stress and cortisol problem, and a circadian rhythm problem at the same time.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Why sleep quality matters as much as the number of hours you sleep, and why the best sleep supplements support your sleep biology instead of simply forcing drowsiness. Carl walks through the three systems better sleep support should address: a calmer brain, a healthy stress response, and the body's own circadian rhythm.
THE THREE-SYSTEM MODEL FOR BETTER SLEEP
First, helping the brain unwind naturally. L-theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, supports calming neurotransmitter activity, including GABA, and promotes relaxed alpha brainwave activity, helping the brain transition into a calmer state without acting like a sedative. TruZzzs uses Suntheanine L-theanine.
Second, supporting a healthy stress response. Cortisol is supposed to rise in the morning and gradually come down by evening, but when stress keeps it elevated too long, sleep quality can suffer, and not just your ability to fall asleep, your actual restorative sleep. TruZzzs uses Shoden ashwagandha, a form whose key compounds can stay in the bloodstream for nearly 24 hours, offering round-the-clock support from one dose.
Third, supporting the body's own circadian rhythm and evening melatonin biology. Rather than overriding the system with synthetic melatonin, Affron saffron extract helps support the enzymes in the pathway that converts the amino acid tryptophan into melatonin, helping support the body's own evening melatonin production.
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH TruZzzs
Everyone's experience differs, but Carl outlines a week-by-week timeline: easier to fall asleep in the first one to two weeks, longer time in deeper sleep cycles after three to four weeks, and waking up more refreshed after five to six weeks. A sleep tracker such as a Fitbit or Oura Ring can help you measure the change.
