Sleep Revolution

Tyler Hughes

Hey everyone, welcome to the very first episode of Wellness in 2026! I'm Tyler Hughes, and I'm super excited to kick things off with a topic that's literally close to home for a lot of folks—sleep. And, of course, I'm here with the one and only Lea Chapa. Co-Founder of True Life Spirits- TLS. Lea, how are you?

Lea Chapa

Hey Tyler! Ooh, I am really good today. I'm telling you, if we're talking about sleep, I am in! You would not believe how many sleepless nights I had when I was in the Hospitality world—I mean, it's become this epidemic with everyone, not just in the hospitality industry, hasn't it? So today's topic feels almost... I dunno, urgent. Is that too dramatic?

Tyler Hughes

Not at all! It absolutely is. Sleep is, like, a sixty-something billion dollar global industry—sleep aids, I mean. That's wild, right? These days it feels like everyone's either got a meditation app or a bottle of pills by the bed, just hoping for a good night.

Lea Chapa

You know, and I used to be in that "pop a pill, cross your fingers" club myself, Tyler. But every time, I'd wake up feeling like I had concrete in my shoes. Not exactly what I call restful. But—okay, I wanna cut right to the chase—our Product Mocktail Magic is also Magic Sleep- you just dose it differently- sublingual- simply under your tongue and sleep is right around the corner!!

Tyler Hughes

Alright, so if I understand the additional benefit of Mocktail Magic when taken sublingual is a THC sleep aid that uses nano-tech. Instead of a pill or gummy, it's a few drops or squeezes right under your tongue. It hits your bloodstream, like, 8 to 15 minutes—four to six times faster than gummies. That's crazy fast.

Lea Chapa

Yes- Because, Tyler, We've got this three-tier dosing guide Beginners start with just 2 milligrams, which they call the “gentle calm”—kinda lets you drift off easy, right? Then, sweet spot is around 3 to 4 milligrams, which gives you deep, pretty uninterrupted sleep. And if you’re really struggling, We have a top dose of 6 milligrams—sorta "lights-out" mode, but only if you really need it.

Tyler Hughes

Wait—see, that’s what gets me really excited. Because, I dunno, so much about sleep aids is just sledgehammering your brain into unconsciousness and hoping for the best. But this, it sounds... intentional, almost respectful of your body’s rhythms, right?

Lea Chapa

Yeah, you nailed it. You wanna hear the real kicker? TLS Mocktail Magic or as we refer to it as Magic Sleep you avoid that horrible “sleeping-pill hangover” the next day. You know, that molasses-brain feeling that ruins your morning? zero grogginess. None. Like, you just wake up normal.

Tyler Hughes

Stop it. Lea, that’s honestly huge. Especially for people with real sleep issues, like, who have to get up and function for families and jobs and—well, life!

Lea Chapa

Totally. That’s the thing. And it’s being framed as more than just, like, medicine for insomnia—it’s this bigger wellness tool. Same bottle design as Mocktail Magic our alcohol replacement- it's an added benefit that people aren't aware of because of the "name" Mocktail Magic. Another part of your wellness toolkit in one product. Can't beat that.

Tyler Hughes

Exactly. That normalization piece, it means something, especially for folks who carried around that “I need a pill to sleep, what's wrong with me?” shame. Or that, I can't use THC for sleep- it will only get me "high" And y'all are all about transparency, too—which, you know, is rare in wellness. You are totally open about things like testing positive for drug tests. That's a whole new level, in my book.

Lea Chapa

Yeah, I mean, in a way, the nano delivery system isn’t just a marketing buzzword. That’s how we're getting the fast onset, and the cleaner wear-off. And then, on top of that we have a whole wellness system: CBD muscle salve with, 10,000 milligrams of CBD for relief at the end of the day- think like a tens unit effect in a pain stick.

Tyler Hughes

I saw one of those reviews, actually—people genuinely saying, "This is the TLS Soothe I didn’t know I needed.it as part of my routine" Which, I mean, I laugh but I kinda get it! But I see what y'all are trying to do. It’s not about knocking you out; it’s about looking at your overall health.

Lea Chapa

Yeah—and sleep is only a part of your overall health- A huge part- if sleep is “off” everything is impacted. Your "off" time is critical for your brain, your mood, your recovery. Our dosing, that fast onset, and the clean finish? That’s all about getting you to feel energized the next day, not just unconscious for eight hours. And, honestly, isn’t this a sign of things to come? We're moving away from these cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all drugstore bottles, to, well, a more personalized approach. You treat sleep as fluid—sometimes you need just a little nudge, other times you might need, as you said, “lights out.”

Tyler Hughes

I’m with you, Lea. I think this could change the way people view sleep aids overall. Once people see that these can support your sleep cycle—not override it—the stigma could seriously fade. And it’s not just about products, it’s about attitudes, too. Like, sleep is self-care now.

Lea Chapa

And you know what else? As cannabinoid research gets sharper and these delivery systems get smarter, I think the, uh, horizon for new sleep tech just keeps expanding. As long as we keep that focus on safety, transparency, and really listening to people's actual needs, not just marketing to ‘em, that’s where I see real hope.

Tyler Hughes

Same. It's honestly wild to think—something as basic as getting to sleep has been a struggle for so many, and now there's this wave of innovation with stuff as simple as a couple drops under your tongue. If that can help people ditch the grogginess, avoid dependency, and truly recharge...yeah, that's a wellness revolution I wanna be part of.

Lea Chapa

Couldn’t agree more, Tyler. And folks, if you’re listening and thinking, "Wow, I need to try this," well, you’re not alone! I say, keep your minds open and your questions coming. This is just the start of this sleep conversation—we’ll be digging into recovery, tech, mental health, and more in upcoming episodes.

Tyler Hughes

Alright, we’ve run out of time for today, but there’s so much more to come. Lea, this was a blast, as always. Thanks for keeping it real with me.

Lea Chapa

Right back at you, Tyler. And thank you to everyone listening—don’t forget to rest up, and uh, catch us next time. Goodnight everybody!

Tyler Hughes

Goodnight everyone, and stay well!
