Tara and Todd Youngblood founded Chili Technology in 2007, when, plagued with sleep challenges, they both became tired of being tired! Despite relentless research in searching for an answer to improve their sleep, most of the products they found, didn’t solve the problem. 

Turning to Tara’s background in science and Todd’s product development expertise, yielded the perfect match to pioneer a product driven by thermodynamics that matches the thermal load to a perfect temperature sleep. And so the Chili (a brand of Kryo Inc.) was born- a product that has sold hundreds of thousands of units and is fundamentally improving sleep for its users the world over.  

Join us as we interview Tara and Todd, revealing how controlling your temperature can control your sleep.

In this episode, we explore:

The phenomenal science of manipulating temperature for your sleep cycle- the trigger of your hypothalamus and the release of melatonin

Circadian rhythms, chronotypes, bi-phasic sleep heritage, cryotherapy, thermogenesis,  internal thermostats and how Chili Technology is a prime example of the unique blend of ancestral wisdom, together with science backed product development

The challenge of temperature control with modern day matrasses

The 8-hour sleep myth, sleep density and the sleep drive balance

It’s all in the metrics- proven increases in REM and Deep Sleep, HRV, Low Resting Heart Rate and Sleep Latency

Sleep and aging, mental health, disease, Alzheimer’s and auto immune conditions

Why the American special forces, Royalty and big names such as Ben Greenfield, Tim Ferriss and Dr Perlmutter use Chili
