THE STORY OF BOOSTTAPE
Hi, there!
My name is Keelan. I'm the founder of Boosttape and I'm stoked to have you here!
Let me share with you my background and why I embarked on my Boosttape journey, to not only improve my sleep, but to improve yours too.
How it started
I’m currently a fly in fly out shift worker, who works extensive hours. Juggling an active lifestyle while maintaining a social life with friends and family. Squeezing everything into each day left little time for one of life's key elements - sleep. It's an element that is hugely overlooked and plays a massive role in your health and well being.
Honestly, I've never been a great sleeper. Working in really hot places with really hot climates has made me rely on air conditioning, always tossing and turning with constant disruptions throughout the night, the stubborn hay fever symptoms, the list goes on! I got so comfortable with the lack of quality sleep that it just became normal.
What led me to truly make a change was my wife, at her wits end, sitting me down and pleading to me to do something about my excessive snoring. A problem I knew I had, but didnt know how bad it really was. It's what drove me to seek the best night sleep, for both of us.
Research
As I deep dived into my research on sleep, I happened to be listening to the “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast that had renowned scientist Dr Andrew Huberman on as a guest.
He suggested a crazy idea, taping your mouth shut while you sleep.
Extremely skeptical, but wanting to try anything that didn't include medication, I brought some duct tape and gave it a go.
Results
Although the duct tape was harsh, the results were encouraging.
I was feeling better in the mornings, and felt like I had a much improved quality sleep.
Although I felt improvement, it struck me, there has to be a better way of taping my mouth.
Reinvent
I found completely covering my mouth made me feel claustrophobic, and medical tape wasn't sticking properly.
So I set out to develop a comfortable, breathable, hypoallergenic medical grade adhesive that is designed to allow for two variations of application.
Giving you the power to choose between a completely covered, or partially covered mouth, which gently encourages nasal breathing.
Revitalize
Nasal breathing isn't just a game-changer; it's the secret sauce for living your best life.
Trust me, once you experience its power, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Let's embark on this journey together and unlock a whole new level of vitality!"
