I would listen, through headphones, to binaural beat music music with 2 different balanced pulses that activates Alpha and Theta brain waves, which are associated with the first stage of deep sleep and meditation. Likewise, I would be blindfolded. And, in Doc Hollywood's office, I would do all of this while resting on a waterbed although the waterbed, I found out, is not a requirement or required element of the treatment.

According to the company, 30 minutes of NuCalm amounts to 2 to 3 hours of restorative sleep. The NuCalm site boasts that the de-stressing treatment takes just 2 minutes to administer and less than five minutes to achieve its results, making it the very meaning of a quick fix. With its smooth website and claims of state-of-the-art, borderline-magic outcomes, I half anticipated my NuCalm experience to take place in the actual future or, at very least, a facility that reeked of sci-fi vibes. I think I was envisioning a workplace that looked like the ship from Passengers and a large set-up reminiscent of the memory- implanting tech from Total Recall or possibly even a coffin-like pod right out of The 5th Aspect. My NuCalm treatment was not administered on the set of a movie, however it also wasn't administered in a dentist's workplace. On the early morning of my visit, I drove across Los Angeles to Santa Monica to the offices of a bona fide physician to the stars, whose Hollywood customers consists of actresses, authors and inspirational experts, and who boasts competence in energy medicine, integrative medication and bioidentical hormone replacement treatment. Rather, my NuCalm experience began in a (purposefully) dimly lit waiting room that looked more like the living- room of an eccentric, well-traveled college teacher than a medical center. The doctor was fashionably late not with another client, just in getting to the workplace. While the tardiness may usually have frustrated me, here, it looked like part of the experience, nearly like a preview of the outcomes of the modern treatment that awaited me. Throughout a short assessment, the medical professional described the NuCalm process and summarized 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 brief), a repressive neurotransmitter implied to decrease activity in my nerve system. I would listen, through earphones, to binaural beat music music with two various rhythmic 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 resting on a waterbed although the waterbed, I discovered, is not a requirement or required element of the treatment.
