All the medical advances in the world can't eliminate the risk of lifestyle.

Run less Sprint more.

When you need tape to hold your body together, it might be time to exercise for strength and joint stability instead of endurance, or rest and heal your body. Or... Just use more tape!

How is it ok to charge nearly 3 to 4 times for the same drug 14 years later? Has it improved that much? Our mission has alway been to help people take control of their health by accessing mechanisms inherent to our ability to adapt to our environment. If you are taking a biologic to help with an autoimmune condition, apparently ridiculous inflation eating away at your wallet is another real side effect...

Life gives us special people from time to time...this man is truly in that category. #fcancer

Fantastic news!!!!

Are you a low to no carb believer?...Uncle Sam wants YOU to provide feedback...#changingthestatusquo

This post comes with a heavy heart...As many of you know, we have always placed an absolute value on the many wonderful people we have been blessed to cross paths with in life and through this adventure we call a business. One of our own was taken way too early and we want to do what we can to help. Dave was a men amongst boys. A proud and accomplished member of our military. Unfortunately his final call came way too soon and his loved ones need some help. We would like to offer anyone who is able and willing an opportunity to exchange...if you feel so compelled, anyone who makes a donation of $30 or more towards helping Dave's family we want to offer you a cryotherapy session on us. All you need to do is bring in proof of the donation and we will make sure to get you nice and cold.

Which one do you pick?

Cryo Social this coming Saturday. The last Saturday of every month. Get you recovery on with special prices on Cryotherapy and PBM. Drinks and food on us! Limited spots available...give us a call to reserve your spot. 408-471-0146

A Whole Body PhotoBioModulation Chamber delivers a massive amount of cumulative energy, but in lower doses of energy that stimulate cellular changes that benefit the entire body. The objective of whole body PBM then is to create systemic benefits of detoxification, improved circulation and improved energy throughout the entire body. Changing the health of the cells changes the health of the entire body. The effects may not be as immediate as a laser, but the long-term ben...efits of gradual whole body changes can be profound. Traditional studies of PBM were based on localized treatments. Traditional research used LED probes to illuminate a small wound or treatment area. One of the larger studies posted on the NIH website used 10 LED modules to deliver a total of 41 joules per module or 410 total joules of energy, and the results were positive. The human body may have 1600 2000 square cm’s of skin surface depending on the size of the individual. Whole body light therapy illuminates a huge surface area of the body with what should be safe yet effective doses of energy. The cumulative dose can be incredible, but the relative energy per cm2 can remain both stimulatory and safe. The bench that the subject lays on may deliver 12 joules/cm2 to 500 cm2 of surface skin on the back as the focal point of the LED beam is correct. That means delivering 500/cm2 x 12 J = 6,000 Joules of energy. The front of the body is farther away from the LED’s depending on the contours of the body. As the distance to the LED increases, the levels of irradiance on the skin decreases. If we assume 1/4th of the total irradiance or an average of 3 joules for the remaining 1200 cm2 of skin, then we have 1200 cm2 x 3 J = 3600 Joules. 6,000 + 3600 = 9600 Joules of cumulative energy delivered to the entire body. This is over 20 times to total energy delivered in one of the largest illumination studies completed.

If you want an edge PBM may help

Want to recovery and perform better? The Philadelphia Eagles did. Earlier this year they added Photobiomodulation to their training facility to help the players. Come see us and give PBM a try.

Brocolli and Bacteria for better health...

The best way to get in shape fast? Interesting...while instant gratification is not really a great answer to lasting body composition and fitness, it probably helps build inertia for that new years resolution. If you are "upping that intensity", we can definitely help you recover a bit faster and keep you in the game longer. #harnessthepowerofcold

Low or No Carb? Got fermentable fiber?

Melo looks like he would much rather have a nice dry and cold cryotherapy session instead of the cold water recovery provided by Russ......#priceless

The Dopamine Trap is real.

You are on a roll...3 days in a row of intense workouts!!! That muscle soreness and stiffness is really adding up. How about some extra time dedicated to warming up and stretching before the next workout? Not so fast! Maybe you may be better served with a nice cold Whole Body Cryotherapy session instead. Now don't get us wrong...Stretching is fantastic! Opening up tight areas of the body are so important to develop proper movement patterns and improve our range of motion. However, your pre workout/exercise related activity may be hindering your performance in the gym. Check out a recent blog for more...

Antibiotics and damage to tendons...Have you considered this? After watching NFL football last weekend and seeing some season ending injuries, we wanted to touch on this topic. So many of you who we see regularly are "hard chargers", working out like beastmode and holding down busy lives. A cautionary piece of information to consider. If you end up on a prescription of antibiotics, be sure to ask your healthcare provider if it makes sense to ease your way back into those workouts. You just fought off an infection or prevented one from happening...the last thing you need is a ruptured achilles or torn ligament in your knee.

"Depression could be treated with ANTI INFLAMMATORY drugs scientists now believe"... This is a great article shared by one of our favorites Dr. Rhonda Patrick...Chalk up one more issue possibly linked to Systemic Inflammation. Want to try something other than more pills? Stop in sometime and ask any one of our many members who make Cryotherapy and PBM part of their regular routine if they have the Blues...and if they do, how they feel after spending a little time with us.

@kungfuvampire @courtney_sedlak...Channeling our inner superhero before we get that recovery on...#superhero

One of the best things about whole body cryotherapy vs an ice bath...it is dry...instead of an immediate freezing wet shock to the system, you start off in a dry chamber with hyper cooled air that gets progessively colder and colder and colder....and coolllllderrrr!!! Don't be like this guy...stay dry and get your cryo on
