Safe Sleeping: The Ultimate Guide to Organic Mattresses & Why It Matters w/ Jack Dell’Accio #443
The Life Stylist
JustThrive Health - Vitamin K2
Nearly every American adult has insufficient levels of vitamin K2. A deficiency can cause major issues, including coronary artery disease and heart disease. Justthrive is the only product on the market with 320 micrograms of pharmaceutical grade K2-7.
Jack Dell’Accio is a health and wellness enthusiast, sustainability and chemical-free advocate, and Eco Citizen Award recipient. He’s also the founder and CEO of Essentia and today’s guest. This one's a very focused conversation. It's all about everything there is to know about what makes mattresses toxic or healthy, and why it's so important to get this piece right.
It makes a lot of sense that this should be one of the more scrutinized purchases you make. We spend a third of our lives on our mattress! But it's a complex and competitive market, making it really difficult for consumers to know what they're dealing with. You’re in luck, though, as Jack is here to field questions like a pro on this yet underappreciated element of our overall well being.
For those of you interested in exploring Jack's innovative and non-toxic mattress company, Essentia, I highly recommend it. We have one here at home and it's truly incredible in every way. Visit lukestorey.com/essentia and use the code LUKE for a sweet discount!

MAGNESIUM BREAKTHROUGH. According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death. When most people think of stress, they think of their job, traffic, tense relationships, current events, things like that. But the root of so much of the stress we experience comes down to a deficiency in one overlooked nutrient — magnesium. So, if you're ready to help your body deal with stress, instead of putting a band-aid on it after the fact, you’re going to want some Magnesium Breakthrough.
