How elite recovery leads to elite performance. 

The benefits of cold water therapy

Reduced soreness and inflammation

When you feel the soreness  and pain kicking in, take a dip in the Contrast Plunge. Five to ten minutes of cold exposure triggers the release of endorphins, your body’s natural painkillers and provide you relief from muscle soreness.

Increased focus and clarity

Have you experienced mental fog when moving from one task to another? Taking a plunge at the start of the day helps you set yourself up for the day with increased focus and mental clarity.

Transform your metabolism.

Taking a dip in the Contrast Plunge promotes the increase of brown fat in your body. Storing fat in the form of brown fat and especially through cold activation improves your body’s metabolism and assists with losing weight.

Improved sleep. Improved life.

Just two minutes of cold immersion in the evening can help you set up for better sleep. By lowering your body’s core temperature, your body releases chemicals—such as melatonin. Researchers have long believed it helps induce sleep. 

You sleep 8 hours or 33% of the day. By plunging you invest in improved sleep quality and better manage your recovery process.

Improved mental state and mood

Is it hard to unplug from your 9 to 5 during your 5 to 9? Plunging after a busy, stressful day of work helps releases chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin and reduces stress, anxiety, weariness while improving your mood. 

Build your resiliency long-term

Contrast therapy in the form of cold water immersion helps you become resilient. With every dip, you send a signal to yourself. By embracing the discomfort, you create reinforcing habits that make you strong. Mentally. And physically.

What Really Happens When You Take An Ice Bath: The Science

When you engage in cold water immersion your body produces a physiological response to this cold exposure. These responses trigger a range of reactions to promote health benefits. Here are some things that happen:

Slow enzyme reactions lead to easing of soreness

Cold water exposure slows down the enzymatic processes in your body. This leads to a decrease in your metabolic rate and also reduces the effects of inflammation and oxidative stress. This helps active individuals recover from strenuous exercise, muscle fatigue, and soreness.

Vasoconstriction leads to reduced inflammation

Your body’s immediate response to cold exposure restricts blood vessels in the skin and your body’s extremities. Your body shunts blood out from peripheral tissues to limit the consequences of cold exposure. The effect is reduced inflammation.

Release of endorphins leads to pain-relieving effect

When immersed in cold water, your body triggers the release of endorphins. Endorphins are your body’s natural painkillers. The release provides relief from muscle soreness and discomfort and helps you better manage acute and chronic pain.

Revved up transmitters help improve sleep

The increased production of a neuro-transmitter (norepinephrine) due to cold exposure helps ease the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and improves sleep.

Fat burning due to increase in energy expenditure

During cold exposure, our body works harder to maintain its internal temperature. This results in an increase in energy expenditure to maintain internal temperature and burns calories by increasing the level of brown fat (the kind of fat that helps with weight loss).

Embrace the Discomfort 

for Long Term Resilience 

“I am a big believer in doing things that make you uncomfortable. As a swimmer, I'm willing to swim four five miles at a time in a single practice to prepare for a race that lasts 2 minutes or sometimes less than 60 seconds. It's a struggle that you choose to push yourself through.  A dip in the Contrast Wellness pod is a mental struggle that has incredible physical and mental benefits. It's no different than competitive swimming. I don't always want to get in the cold water but I always feel good afterwards. If you are looking for a competitive edge or a way to really improve your recovery or just your overall well-being, this is it!”
