CRYOTHERAPY
Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC), also known as cryogenic therapy or cryo therapy involves exposure to sub-zero temperatures for up to 3 minutes. Cryotherapy promotes natural healing by stimulating a physiological reaction of the body or autonomic nervous response. This form of biohacking speeds recovery and anti-aging by activating the body's defense mechanisms. WBC is one of the fastest growing wellness solutions in the United States.
Cryotherapy benefits include faster recovery times, anti-aging, reduced inflammation and muscle soreness, detoxification, improved mood, better sleep, increased energy, and many more. Cryo is also known to improve your metabolism, boost immunity, burn calories, kill fat cells and cellulite, and produce more collagen.
BEST PRACTICES
One cryotherapy session can have amazing benefits and make you feel great, but consistency is the key to unlocking the full benefits of cryo. This is because repeated whole body cryotherapy allows the body to carry out its full metabolic and hormetic responses to the extreme cold.
Your weekly treatment frequency for the first few weeks/months will depend on your personal goals and what you're looking to accomplish. For general wellness and recovery, many start with 2-3 treatments per week and adjust treatment frequency as needed. For more demanding goals, 4-5 treatments per week is recommended.
