• Pillow Talk - Sleep's Role in Your Fertile Health with Alizah Josette
    Oct 24 2024

    In this yet another insightful episode of Health Youniversity, we’re joined by Alizah Josette, inventor of the Sphere Head Pillow, to discuss the often-overlooked connection between sleep quality and fertility.

    Eliza shares her journey from being a paralegal with chronic neck pain to creating a revolutionary pillow that supports spinal alignment and improves sleep.

    Tune in to learn why getting a good night’s rest is essential for hormonal balance, reducing stress, and optimizing fertility.

    Founder and visionary Alizah Josette, a Warwick, RI resident and paralegal, struggled to find an adequate pillow that would allow unrestricted movement but prevent harmful twists and strains of the head and neck muscles. Through her persistence, dedication and numerous prototypes, she unlocked the secret to a soothing night's sleep - a pillow that cradles and supports the head and neck, promotes alignment of the spine, and allows flexibility of sleeping positions.
