Empower Your Wellness: Freeze Yourself and Leverage Stress

Bombarded with never-ending stimuli, in today’s world, the extent of stress we are experiencing is unprecedented. 

According to the American Psychological Association, an astounding 90% of Americans are losing precious sleep at night as a byproduct of stress and anxiety. Though, it’s not merely all in our minds.

With a cocktail of stress hormones chronically circulating through our bodies, these thoughts can consequently manifest as physical ailments—it’s no surprise that an estimate of 75% of Americans have suffered mental and physical symptoms of stress in the last 30 days. 

Thankfully, we can take charge of our own health and well-being. We don’t have to subscribe to the “new norm” and allow stress and anxiety to dominate our lives. You don’t have to “cope” with stress any longer; it’s something you can channel into becoming the best possible version of yourself. Let us help you with that.

Not only does cryotherapy facilitate physical recovery—it offers positive mental health benefits as well. Cryotherapy is known to stimulate the vagus nerve, a critical component of the parasympathetic nervous system, associated with the “rest and digest” response. At the beginning of the session, the body kicks into sympathetic arousal/“fight-or-flight” mode, as it attempts to prevent itself from freezing to death.

A cascade of physiological reactions ensue, inducing a short-term stress response. Thereby, cryotherapy increases the body’s stress tolerance and promotes parasympathetic nervous activity following the session. In the long-term, this exponentially helps to naturally reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. 

The notion of braving the cold in itself can encourage discipline and mental strength. Consistently doing something that you don’t "feel like" doing actually has the power to strengthen an area of your brain associated with willpower and emotional regulation—the anterior midcingulate cortex. By willingly subjecting yourself to the cold, you increase your capacity to tolerate stress, and become a person who takes control over their life.
