Listen Later

Episode Summary: If you're navigating midlife, battling stress, and struggling with sleep, this episode is for you. Shana welcomes Elizabeth Grosjean, founder of Baloo Living, to explore how cooling weighted blankets can naturally support nervous system regulation and sleep quality—without medications or synthetic materials.

Learn how deep pressure stimulation improves HRV, calms cortisol, and why the right kind of blanket can make all the difference—especially for hot sleepers and hormonally sensitive women.

Elizabeth also shares what makes her blankets different (hello, breathable cotton and glass microbeads!) and how to choose the right weight for your body.
