Ep. 28: Fall Asleep Faster and Wake Up Refreshed – with Erik Kennison



Welcome back to another episode of the NatureCity Podcast, where we bring you the latest insights on natural supplement ingredients and how they can help your health and well-being. In today's episode, we dive deep into two nutrients that research shows can help you get a better, more restful night’s sleep. These nutrients are the Suntheanine brand of L-theanine and the high potency Shoden Ashwagandha.

Joining us is Eric Kennison from Nutriscience Innovations, the supplier of Suntheanine and Shoden. Together, Erik and Carl explore how these scientifically studied nutrients help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep with minimal disturbances, and wake up refreshed.

You’ll hear how these nutrients help your brain relax and over a few weeks, promote increased restorative sleep, which is key because this is when the body repairs and rejuvenates itself. If you don’t get enough restorative sleep, you may not wake up feeling refreshed even though you slept the recommended 7 to 8 hours.

Even better, these nutrients will not cause you to feel groggy in the morning or experience daytime drowsiness. Instead, you’ll be better prepared to take on the day and cope with daily stressors.

You can find these nutrients in the TrueZs formula, which can be found here: https://www.naturecity.com/products/truezs.  

*You may start to notice sleep improvements in the first week, but research indicates you should give it a few weeks to experience the full benefits of these remarkable nutrients.
