179: You're Being Poisoned in Your Sleep: How Your Dirty Mattress is Making Your Sick - with Jack Dell'Accio

Episode • May 23 • 45m

If your mattress could talk, it would be screaming. In this episode, we’re talking with Jack Dell’Accio, the pioneer behind Essentia’s non-toxic sleep systems used by pro athletes and wellness leaders like Dr. Mark Hyman and over 40% of NHL players.

They dive deep into why most mattresses are toxic, how poor sleep derails your gut health, mental health and recovery, and how things like EMFs and the synthetic materials in your mattress interfere with REM and deep sleep.

Jack also explains what real sleep hygiene looks like, and why you’re getting it wrong.
