THE BENEFITS OF ICE BATHS

Cold water immersion is hands down one of the best things you can do for your mental and physical health.

Performance / Recovery

Soothe muscle soreness and inflammation in order for you to recover much faster.

Better Sleep

Enhances sleep quality by calming the nervous system and reducing stress.

Elevated Energy

Increases energy levels by activating the body's natural recovery processes.

Boost Mood

Ice baths raises your baseline dopamine levels, so you're likely to experience elevated mood in your day to day.

Weight Loss

Supports metabolism, aiding in fat burning and weight management due to increased calorie burn.

Immune Support

Strengthens immune response, helping to fight off illnesses.

Stress / Anxiety Relief

Cold water therapy has been shown to decrease the stress hormone cortisol. This study found that regular ice baths helped massively reduce anxiety and improve the mood of participants.

Recovery / Performance

Cold plunge benefits extend beyond the mental and chemical aspects of your body. Sports medicine has utilized cold water therapy for years to help with the active recovery of your muscles.

Elevated Energy

If you're looking to kickstart your morning or need an afternoon pick-me-up, cold plunging is an incredible way to boost your daily energy. Not only is the icy water rejuvenating, but it also triggers the release of healthy stress hormones that promote alertness. A 2 minute ice bath feels like drinking 5 cups of coffee (just without the jitters).

Better Sleep
  • When you dip into an ice bath, your body triggers the autonomic nervous system - the system that controls your response to stress.
  • When you begin to control your response to stress, you'll likely find that you begin to control your relaxation and sleep.
  • In short it improves sleep by lowering body temperature, reducing stress hormones, boosting mood-enhancing neurotransmitters, and activating the relaxation-focused parasympathetic nervous system.
Boosted Mood
  • Researchers have known for a while that plunging connects to our daily energy. In particular, there is lots of evidence that hormone imbalance can contribute to depression, meaning that a cold plunge might help to reduce depression and improve overall mood.
  • The release of dopamine in the brain during ice baths also further gives you that "happy" feeling which lasts for hours. Additionally, ice baths raises your baseline dopamine levels, so you're likely to experience elevated mood in your day to day.
Stress relief

Cold water therapy has been shown to be an effective supplemental treatment for stress relief by decreasing the stress hormone cortisol. This study found that regular cold showers and ice baths helped reduce anxiety and improve the mood of participants.

Weight Loss

Cold water immersion also activates brown fat — tissue that helps keep the body warm and helps it control blood sugar and insulin levels. It also helps the body burn calories, which has lead to studies showing significant evidence that cold water immersion is an effective way to lose weight and burn calories.

Pain Relief

The boost in norepinephrine you'll get from consistent ice baths has been shown to be up to 5x your baseline amount. This neurotransmitter can dramatically reduce inflammation and help with chronic pain.
