"Recovery isn't just about what you do after training - it's about how well you actually sleep."
Zane Karout, 20, Fitness Coach & Natural Vitality Expert
"I'm all about natural approaches to health, so when it comes to sleep, I wasn't looking for anything synthetic or habit-forming.
My training sessions are pretty intense, and I noticed my mind would still be wired at night - thinking about programming, client check-ins, or just processing the day. Even though I was physically tired, falling asleep was taking way too long.
I tried Thryv Rest because the ingredients made sense - Magnesium Glycinate, L-Theanine, stuff that actually supports your body's natural sleep processes instead of knocking you out artificially.
The difference was noticeable within the first week. Instead of lying there for 30-40 minutes scrolling my phone, I'm actually falling asleep faster and staying asleep through the night.
What I love is that I wake up feeling recovered, not groggy. At 20, I should be bouncing back easily, but quality sleep makes such a difference in how I feel the next morning and how I perform in training.
It's become part of my evening routine now - take it about 30 minutes before bed, no screens, just wind down naturally. Simple but effective.
Recovery is where the magic happens, and that starts with proper sleep. This just supports what my body's already trying to do."
