Your Cells Remember the Cold (and That Party)

What if stress wasn’t something to avoid…
but something to lean into—on your terms?

With Contrast Therapy sessions, you alternate between the fire of the sauna and the exhilarating cold of the plunge. It’s not about surviving the discomfort—it’s about repatterning your biology.

This rhythm of heat and cold activates a kind of cellular intelligence that modern science is only beginning to understand:

🧬 Cold exposure triggers cold shock proteins like YBX1, which support DNA repair, enhance immune response, and help transform stubborn white fat into energy-burning beige fat.

🔥 Heat exposure awakens heat shock proteins that repair damaged proteins, reduce inflammation, and extend cellular life.

Together, this contrast trains your system to adapt and recover more efficiently. Your heart, your metabolism, your mind—all benefit.

And it doesn’t take much. Just 11 minutes of cold per week has been shown to activate brown fat—improving insulin sensitivity and energy metabolism, according to a study in Cell Metabolism.

You don’t need intense exercise. You need presence, breath, and the willingness to let your body do what it evolved to do:
Adapt. Reset. Renew.

Our next session is Tuesday, April 22.
If this past weekend left your system spinning (420, parties, Coachella or just life itself?), come settle back into rhythm.

🌿 Reserve your spot — limited spaces left!
