Summary
Home sweet home. Sometimes it’s just more economical or convenient to stay home. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still take steps to feeling more alive than you ever have from the comfort of home. Today we are talking about hot and cold therapy, but not the gel pack you put in your microwave or freezer. Come on, this is Part 4 of the biohacking series! In today’s episode, Rachael gets steamy in her garage and dilates her blood vessels in a portable sauna and Kelsea cools down in a portable cold plunge tub in her yard.
A special thanks goes out to Community member Heather for asking us how to go about using the sauna and cold plunge together for maximum benefits. We got you! Alternating between hot and cold water to provide physical and mental benefits is a thing! And it’s called contrast therapy. Want to know more? Listen to Kelsea and Rachael’s honest reviews of the wallet friendly SaunaBox and Cold Plunge Bundle.
