According to the business, 30 minutes of NuCalm is equal to 2 to three hours of corrective sleep. The NuCalm website boasts that the de-stressing treatment takes simply two minutes to administer and less than five minutes to achieve its effects, making it the really meaning of a fast repair.
With its streamlined website and claims of modern, borderline-magic outcomes, I half anticipated my NuCalm experience to happen in the actual future or, at really least, a center that reeked of sci-fi vibes. I think I was imagining a workplace that looked like the ship from Passengers and a large set-up similar to the memory-implanting tech from Total Remember or perhaps even a coffin-like pod straight out of The Fifth Element.
My NuCalm treatment was not administered on the set of a movie, however it likewise wasn't administered in a dental practitioner's office. On the early morning of my appointment, I drove across Los Angeles to Santa Monica to the workplaces of an authentic doctor to the stars, whose Hollywood customers includes actresses, authors and motivational experts, and who boasts competence in energy medication, integrative medicine and bioidentical hormonal agent replacement therapy.
Rather, my NuCalm experience started in a (actively) poorly lit waiting room that looked more like the living-room of an eccentric, well-traveled college teacher than a medical center. The medical professional was fashionably late not with another client, just in getting to the office. While the tardiness might usually have frustrated me, here, it appeared like part of the experience, practically like a sneak peek of the results of the state-of-the-art treatment that awaited me.
During a quick assessment, the doctor discussed the NuCalm procedure and summed up the science behind it (more on that later). The gist of the system, I found out, was this: I would chew a tablet of gamma-Aminobutyric acid, or -aminobutyric acid (or GABA, for short), a repressive neurotransmitter implied to reduce activity in my nervous system.
I would listen, through headphones, to binaural beat music music with two different balanced pulses that triggers Alpha and Theta brain waves, which are associated with the first phase of deep sleep and meditation. Also, I would be blindfolded. And, in Doc Hollywood's workplace, I would do all of this while lying on a waterbed although the waterbed, I learned, is not a requirement or required component of the treatment.
