Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome to this episode of Laura Kane after
Speaker 1: So happy that you're watching, so happy that you're listening.
Speaker 1: I'm Laura Kane. This is Eric Rimmer, Hi, and we
Speaker 1: have producer Brian behind the MiG. What's up Brian? Hello, okay.
Speaker 1: And on the set, starting off the show as our third,
Speaker 1: fourth and fifth co host, we have Mandy Miller, mom Suellen,
Speaker 1: and baby Rallie Rose. Okay, that is so cute, the
Speaker 1: cutest name I think I've ever heard in my life. Okay,
Speaker 1: so let me just explain why they're here and what
Speaker 1: I experienced. So twenty twenty five, I've decided it's going
Speaker 1: to be a year of more self care because I
Speaker 1: just feel like I've been go go going and not
Speaker 1: like stopping down and doing like meditation and like like
Speaker 1: Brian makes fun of me for all my meditation of
Speaker 1: sleep meditation idea. I try. I try to shut my
Speaker 1: mind off. So I went to acupuncture a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago and that was really good. That was part
Speaker 1: of my healthcare journey. And then I was looking or
Speaker 1: I was just kind of like looking around and I've
Speaker 1: seen this before and I've always kind of wanted to
Speaker 1: try it, but then something like just said do it.
Speaker 1: And it is True Rest Float SPA. Have you heard
Speaker 1: of floating?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, I did. Okay. Mandy is the president of True
Speaker 1: Rest and so there are locations all over the United
Speaker 1: States and the one I went to is here in
Speaker 1: San Diego on fourth in Hillcrest, and you can talk
Speaker 1: more about this, but I'm just going to say that
Speaker 1: this is an incredible tool to slow down your mind,
Speaker 1: to deal with depression, to deal with PTSD, just to
Speaker 1: give yourself an hour of sensory deprivation, which she will
Speaker 1: explain what that is and how the water is filtered
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff and what it is.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna I gotta tell you when I was done,
Speaker 1: I still felt like I was floating, and I felt
Speaker 1: I slept like a rock that night, did you Yes,
Speaker 1: it was amazing, And that was like the exact that's
Speaker 1: the point. That is the point. So tell us first
Speaker 1: of all, I need to do this. And hey, Francis
Speaker 1: Parker all the way, baby, Francis Lancers, let's go. My
Speaker 1: kids were lnswers and you were very highly educated Vanderbilt.
Speaker 1: So she is the president of the company. So explain
Speaker 1: to us first of all, how did you get into it?
Speaker 1: Why and what is this? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Awesome, Well thanks for having us because exposure and educating
Speaker 4: people on floating is one of the hardest tasks that
Speaker 4: we have. So we're excited to be here. But actually
Speaker 4: the story of how we both got into it is
Speaker 4: my dad's story. It was about eleven years ago and
Speaker 4: we're from Coronado. We have a Navy Seal friend. It
Speaker 4: is actually one of my friends, her dad, who had
Speaker 4: been on deployment and came back, had his calf blown
Speaker 4: off and through a lot of different surgeries and a
Speaker 4: lot of also emotional trauma obviously through the process, and
Speaker 4: came back and told us that the Navy Seals had
Speaker 4: and still have float pods on base on the amphibious
Speaker 4: base in Coronado, and they were putting him through floating
Speaker 4: for his PTSD and his physical recovery and his insomnia.
Speaker 4: And then through that process we also learned that they're
Speaker 4: using the float pods to help the Navy Seals learn
Speaker 4: languages faster, which is a whole other side too, like biohacking.
Speaker 1: Wow, do you want to try to take or I
Speaker 1: can't try to take her?
Speaker 4: She'd probably be like if she's like this now, she'll
Speaker 4: be like this.
Speaker 1: The whole time. So it was was it developed by
Speaker 1: the military, No, not at all.
Speaker 4: So Europe is actually where a lot of floats existed
Speaker 4: before twenty or two thousand and nine. Okay, really we
Speaker 4: found this, and so in Europe it was one of
Speaker 4: the largest modalities. It had not come to the United
Speaker 4: States yet, there was no one manufacturing it. And so
Speaker 4: when we heard that our friend was using floating and
Speaker 4: the Navy seals validated it's clearly a great experience, we
Speaker 4: wanted to look up a place to go try it,
Speaker 4: and there were only fifteen locations in all of North America.
Speaker 4: It was nowhere to be found, and so the closest
Speaker 4: thing to us in Cornado was Phoenix. And so if
Speaker 4: I kind of circle to where we are now, my
Speaker 4: dad flew out to Phoenix met the founder of True Rest.
Speaker 4: It wasn't actually our concept, it was someone else's, but
Speaker 4: with the background in franchising, we all talked and decided
Speaker 4: that it would be a good franchise business. And so
Speaker 4: my dad and the founder they became partners, and I
Speaker 4: started selling the franchise, and we've got now fifty open
Speaker 4: in the US and one in Canada.
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, that's amazing. Now explain. Okay, you've probably seen
Speaker 1: the pods. They look almost like little like little baby
Speaker 1: spaceships kind of, and they open up and they have
Speaker 1: water in it that comes up like you just you
Speaker 1: float in it, but what what's in it? And why
Speaker 1: is it so beneficial?
Speaker 4: So it's just ten inches of water and a thousand
Speaker 4: pounds of upsom salts. So you're floating effortlessly on top
Speaker 4: of the water, ideally in a no sound, no light,
Speaker 4: no gravity environment. You probably didn't know this, but true
Speaker 4: rest actually stands for restricted environmental stimulus therapy. That's like
Speaker 4: the scientific acronym for true rest. So if you're looking
Speaker 4: it up, rest is what it's commonly referred to in
Speaker 4: like scientific journals. And so if you can close the lid,
Speaker 4: you don't have to have sensory deprivation. I don't know,
Speaker 4: did you turn the lights off?
Speaker 1: No? Oh, I did. I had the lights off, but
Speaker 1: I had the music on for a little while and
Speaker 1: then I had complete darkness and complete silence. And I'll
Speaker 1: tell you my experience of where you talk about.
Speaker 4: What, well, that is the sensory deprivation site. So you
Speaker 4: don't have to do that. But if you're going and
Speaker 4: you can, that's where you're going to have the deepest
Speaker 4: level of relaxation. You're going to have your heart rate drop,
Speaker 4: you're going to sleep better at night, and you're going
Speaker 4: to have really kind of that brain and emotional recovery
Speaker 4: that you can't get really anywhere else when you're stimulated
Speaker 4: by lights and noise and frankly even like the sound
Speaker 4: of your heartbeat and gravity and all the things that
Speaker 4: distract you when you're outside of the pod.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I feel like I've been in a state
Speaker 1: of complete go go, go, go go, not stopping. My
Speaker 1: brain just never stops. So when I started the float,
Speaker 1: I was just like kind of messing around because it
Speaker 1: feels so good because it's it's ninety six degrees, ninety.
Speaker 4: Five degrees at your skin tempting, it's your.
Speaker 1: Skin temperature, so you kind of feel like you don't
Speaker 1: even like exist. It's neat. Oh, it's so cool, really cool.
Speaker 1: So then I'm like, all right, get in the zone.
Speaker 1: And then they teach you that there's a little video
Speaker 1: that you're in that teaches you like this breathing exercise
Speaker 1: that's supposed to get you into like a zone, and
Speaker 1: then you lay down. They give you a different positions
Speaker 1: you can try, but you just sit there. So I
Speaker 1: would get I started to get into this zone where
Speaker 1: I just felt like like nothing existed in it, but
Speaker 1: I saw lights even though it was dark, I could
Speaker 1: see some lights and stuff, and then my mind would go, wait,
Speaker 1: you gotta do this tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's about right.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. So when I was talking to your mom, Suelle,
Speaker 1: and she was there and she's like, you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: it takes a few times to train your brain, just
Speaker 1: like you have to train your brain to meditate, yeah,
Speaker 1: to float. But I did get into that state a
Speaker 1: couple of times throughout the hour. It's an hour you're
Speaker 1: in there an hour, right, And for some people they
Speaker 1: say it's like five minutes.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean what you're doing is you're slowing down
Speaker 4: your brain waves to the point of being asleep, except
Speaker 4: you're not asleep. You're awake, which is why you're conscious.
Speaker 4: You know what's going on. But your brain waves are
Speaker 4: so slow that you are getting that same level of
Speaker 4: delta way back to which is like your brain wave
Speaker 4: state when you're asleep. And for some people, the mind
Speaker 4: can be distracting. The body can be distracting because I
Speaker 4: don't know if you noticed it, but if you're hungry,
Speaker 4: you hear your stomach groups.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, my stomach was growling and everything lower back.
Speaker 1: I could tell that the epsom salts were doing their
Speaker 1: work on my lower back. Uh huh, so bad. You
Speaker 1: are going to love it. Your skin. You've never felt
Speaker 1: your skin as soft as you do after this flow.
Speaker 1: I need this so bad. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Now does it help with like circulation and stuff like
Speaker 2: that or it will?
Speaker 4: Yeah, because when you're in that anti gravity state, you're
Speaker 4: helping elongate your spine, which is creating that space between
Speaker 4: your spinal cord that allows for that kind of circulation.
Speaker 4: So it helps a lot with inflammation, which you know,
Speaker 4: if you go really far down that inflammation track, you're
Speaker 4: helping women with fibermyalgia, You're helping pregnant women, you know
Speaker 4: whose you know, feet are really swollen, people that are
Speaker 4: struggling with migraines. I mean, anything along that inflammation path
Speaker 4: can be treated, not fully, not fully cured, but treated
Speaker 4: in the flow pod.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, and they do something very special once
Speaker 1: a month. Can't please talk about that for veterans? Yes,
Speaker 1: I love this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, since the original story came from a veteran,
Speaker 4: we would not be here without him. We do free
Speaker 4: floats for veterans on the eleventh of every month at
Speaker 4: every single location. So some do the entire SPA shuts down,
Speaker 4: like you know, we'll do some of the locations, we'll
Speaker 4: just do like a single float pod. But it's in
Speaker 4: our franchise contracts. Everyone has to honor that, and really
Speaker 4: no one, no one fights us on that. That's just
Speaker 4: a really great way to give back to our community.
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, that's awesome. So if you're listening and
Speaker 1: you're in San Diego and you want to take card
Speaker 1: in this, and you're an active military, active military, or
Speaker 1: veteran or a veteran, a veteran, Okay, they just have
Speaker 1: to they have to get on it for the eleventh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the eleventh of every single month. So you
Speaker 4: just can go to true rest dot com and you
Speaker 4: can sign up and then bring like a military idea
Speaker 4: with you or something like that. You can get on
Speaker 4: the calendar for really any month. If we get to
Speaker 4: the eleventh of November, you know, all the locations will
Speaker 4: do something a little bit bigger.
Speaker 1: But yeah, anytime. Wow, and I talk about how this
Speaker 1: helps with PTSD, How does that help the brain with that?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Well, and so this is all through testimonials that
Speaker 4: we've heard this, so it's not just the one guy
Speaker 4: who helped introduce us to float therapy. But you know,
Speaker 4: I've heard the story over and over again, and not
Speaker 4: just veterans who have you know, gone through PTSD, but
Speaker 4: also just other daily life struggles that people have encountered
Speaker 4: who say that floating in the float pod has given
Speaker 4: them a chance to have those thoughts and those memories
Speaker 4: without having the physical bodily reaction to those thoughts.
Speaker 1: So it's almost that is sting to someone. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: body feels it.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and that's when you, you know, PTSD, you'll
Speaker 4: get into that fight or flight state. And so what
Speaker 4: we're trying to do is take your well, I shouldn't
Speaker 4: say we the EPSOM salts, is that we take your
Speaker 4: body out of that fight or flight mode where you
Speaker 4: can just stay calm, You can have those thoughts, but
Speaker 4: your body's in that kind of sleep mode where hopefully
Speaker 4: the more and more and more that you can do that,
Speaker 4: the longer you can stay in that relaxed state that
Speaker 4: you experienced for up to four hours or longer if
Speaker 4: you want to stay in that long.
Speaker 1: So is your only location the one on fourth in
Speaker 1: San Diego or they're more in San Diego? Do you
Speaker 1: plan on opening more in San Diego.
Speaker 4: Someone wants to franchise, they can, but I've got my
Speaker 4: hands full these days. So oh does the one?
Speaker 1: Okay? So what does the website again? And for people
Speaker 1: that want, we'll put it on our website too, Laura
Speaker 1: Kane after dark dot com and uh, with all the information,
Speaker 1: but the website again to book.
Speaker 4: It's just true rest t R U E R E
Speaker 4: S T dot com.
Speaker 1: Okay, And what times are you open available?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: What what float times are available?
Speaker 4: So we actually have a deal with another nonprofit.
Speaker 1: Can I say their name? Why?
Speaker 4: Yeah, They're called Virginia High Performance. They are a nonprofit
Speaker 4: for veterans and we do a lot with them, and
Speaker 4: so because of them, we actual we opened up our
Speaker 4: hours a lot earlier than you'll see on the website.
Speaker 4: So now we open it eight thirty and our last
Speaker 4: float starts at eight thirty and goes till nine thirty,
Speaker 4: So about twelve hours a day we're just floating people
Speaker 4: back to back to back, and half of our day
Speaker 4: is full with these Virginia High Performance veterans.
Speaker 1: Do you have people that float every week and people
Speaker 1: that float every day?
Speaker 4: Yeah, every day we have unlimited members will come for
Speaker 4: hours every single day.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, because I can't wait to come back.
Speaker 1: And you guys have memberships, you have like this whole
Speaker 1: you have a whole thing.
Speaker 4: Anything that you're comfortable with, packages, memberships, one offs.
Speaker 1: Groupon oh, I know that. That's where I saw. I
Speaker 1: first saw before I contacted you. And then it so
Speaker 1: happens that when I lived in Coronado, your mom was
Speaker 1: teaching step aerobics. Remember when step aerobics she still does. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you do still do stuff, Oh my gosh. And I
Speaker 1: took a bunch of her classes and then she's like,
Speaker 1: do you remember me. I'm like, oh my god, yes, she.
Speaker 4: Looks like Barbie. She has her little microphone and does
Speaker 4: her high kicks.
Speaker 1: I love it. So anyway, I just wanted you guys
Speaker 1: to be in here, and I really appreciate it, and
Speaker 1: I think it's just really special what you're doing for
Speaker 1: our veterans and the people in the military, because you know,
Speaker 1: they are dealing with a lot of things that we
Speaker 1: have no idea and never will know, you know, so this,
Speaker 1: if this is something that can help them release those
Speaker 1: bad things in their minds, this is a beautiful thing
Speaker 1: and it's really great that you do the free eleventh
Speaker 1: of every month. That's really special. And good luck with
