The article below discusses the adverse effects chronic inflammation can have on our health. There are very few treatments for chronic, systemic inflammation: most involve drug-intervention like NSAIDs Celebrex etc. Whole body cryotherapy is one of the only non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical, safe treatment for reducing systemic chronic inflammation. It is highly effective, efficient (sessions are a maximum of 3 minutes) and safe!!

Why is whole body cryotherapy so effective for weight loss? The answer is multi-tiered… During whole body cryotherapy the client is exposed to temperatures in the range of -120 to -145 Celsius. This translates to approximately -200 to -235 Fahrenheit. The process is not painful as the cold air is extremely dry—in the absence of moisture, extreme cold is very tolerable. We characterize it as numbing, as opposed to painful. It’s a very superficial cold—not bone-chilling at all. It’s much more tolerable than a wet, 40 degree day in New Jersey!
Cold is Smart!!! As many of our clients have observed during cryotherapy treatment—injured parts of the body feel the most “cold” during cryotherapy. Esteemed Chill Cryotherapy client Sabina Schuttevaer recognized this phenomenon during her first whole body treatment.
Excellent research below on the effects of different forms of cryotherapy. The beneficial effects of cold exposure as related to the activation of BAT (Brown Adipose Tissue).

Low levels of adiponectin have been associated with heart disease and Diabetes.

Cholesterol frequently gets a bum rap, but it’s necessary for your body to function properly. Your body uses cholesterol to make hormones and vitamin D, and support digestion. Your liver generates enough cholesterol to handle these tasks, but your body doesn’t just get cholesterol from your liver. Cholesterol is also in foods such as meat, dairy, and poultry. If you eat a lot of these foods, your cholesterol levels may become too high.
