Why Outdoor Sauna / Ice Bath? Why Contrast Therapy?
Humans are meant to be resilient, hardy.
We have survived the ice age. What does this mean? Simple, our ancestors made sure we continue to thrive today, so in us all, in our DNA/RNA we have beautiful defense systems which is our way to thrive beyond basic survival.
We require basic needs:
whole food/ nutrition
movement/ exercise
good water w/ electrolytes
adaptation to heat/ cold
being outdoors, connecting to nature.
The adaptation is lost in the modern world. People barely go outside, let alone pushing one’s boundaries. Humans have become complacent and even on the brink of redundancy.
Practicing Contrast Therapy
Understanding the processes of our beings on a cellular level is vital to our health. Health suffers by way of toxin overload, over consumption of foods, alcohol, substances our bodies handle day after day.
This chronic stress leads to over use of immune system and cellular health diminishes, or dies.
By reducing the chronic nature of our choices our lifestyle, we can remove the inflammatory markers to prevent the illnesses of today. Most of them, (80% or more), are metabolic, meaning, lifestyle choices where we have the power of our health.
