01:00may benefit may benefit part of Being Fit is exercising and part part of Being Fit is exercising and part part of Being Fit is exercising and part of exercising is of course eating the of exercising is of course eating the of exercising is of course eating the right thing and doing the right types of right thing and doing the right types of right thing and doing the right types of exercise but there's a big element of exercise but there's a big element of exercise but there's a big element of that which is recovery and a lot of the that which is recovery and a lot of the that which is recovery and a lot of the you know not a lot every single Elite you know not a lot every single Elite you know not a lot every single Elite athlete would know all about recovery athlete would know all about recovery athlete would know all about recovery but uh the everyday person probably but uh the everyday person probably but uh the everyday person probably doesn't and a big part of that is hot doesn't and a big part of that is hot doesn't and a big part of that is hot call therapy and there are so many so call therapy and there are so many so call therapy and there are so many so many things to talk about on this topic many things to talk about on this topic many things to talk about on this topic and I've invited Chloe here with us and I've invited Chloe here with us and I've invited Chloe here with us today to talk about the amazing things today to talk about the amazing things today to talk about the amazing things that happen at body Cove roachdale South that happen at body Cove roachdale South that happen at body Cove roachdale South uh Chloe thank you so much for for uh Chloe thank you so much for for uh Chloe thank you so much for for joining us thanks Michael for having me joining us thanks Michael for having me joining us thanks Michael for having me I appreciate it yeah am I right in I appreciate it yeah am I right in I appreciate it yeah am I right in saying that recovery is like a massive saying that recovery is like a massive saying that recovery is like a massive massive part of exercise and being fit massive part of exercise and being fit massive part of exercise and being fit and and and exercising absolutely it's definitely exercising absolutely it's definitely exercising absolutely it's definitely something that works really well in something that works really well in something that works really well in conjunction with exercise and overall conjunction with exercise and overall conjunction with exercise and overall there are so many benefits from physical there are so many benefits from physical there are so many benefits from physical benefits but also mental benefits but benefits but also mental benefits but benefits but also mental benefits but from from an athletes perspective when

02:00from from an athletes perspective when from from an athletes perspective when somebody is using recovery after their somebody is using recovery after their somebody is using recovery after their training they're really optimizing their training they're really optimizing their training they're really optimizing their performance for future training so we performance for future training so we performance for future training so we can fast trck those results uh through can fast trck those results uh through can fast trck those results uh through recovery modalities uh things like hot recovery modalities uh things like hot recovery modalities uh things like hot and cold of course like you just touched and cold of course like you just touched and cold of course like you just touched on but there are a number of different on but there are a number of different on but there are a number of different things that we can do to um yeah get a things that we can do to um yeah get a things that we can do to um yeah get a better physical response from post better physical response from post better physical response from post exercise training yeah and correct me if exercise training yeah and correct me if exercise training yeah and correct me if I'm wrong but if without proper recovery I'm wrong but if without proper recovery I'm wrong but if without proper recovery that's where injuries happen and people that's where injuries happen and people that's where injuries happen and people are basically set back sometimes you are basically set back sometimes you are basically set back sometimes you know like I've I remember back in the know like I've I remember back in the know like I've I remember back in the days when I used to like really gym a days when I used to like really gym a days when I used to like really gym a lot you know all it took is one injury lot you know all it took is one injury lot you know all it took is one injury and that's it you're out for like 3 and that's it you're out for like 3 and that's it you're out for like 3 months sometimes and and all and months sometimes and and all and months sometimes and and all and suddenly all this work that you've done suddenly all this work that you've done suddenly all this work that you've done in a way is reversed um yeah definitely in a way is reversed um yeah definitely in a way is reversed um yeah definitely I mean normally we tell people to rest I mean normally we tell people to rest I mean normally we tell people to rest when they are injured because it is very when they are injured because it is very when they are injured because it is very important for their body to repair and important for their body to repair and important for their body to repair and recover but now with these Recovery recover but now with these Recovery recover but now with these Recovery Services we can do that a lot faster Services we can do that a lot faster Services we can do that a lot faster yeah and and can we now um really just yeah and and can we now um really just yeah and and can we now um really just jump into into the hot and cold therapy

03:00jump into into the hot and cold therapy jump into into the hot and cold therapy side of things because for me I've side of things because for me I've side of things because for me I've always known about hot therapy um I always known about hot therapy um I always known about hot therapy um I think as kids we've always known about think as kids we've always known about think as kids we've always known about it like you know someone has a bad back it like you know someone has a bad back it like you know someone has a bad back uh actually really we've known about uh actually really we've known about uh actually really we've known about both but we sort as kids and growing up both but we sort as kids and growing up both but we sort as kids and growing up my my thought process was always okay my my thought process was always okay my my thought process was always okay you injure yourself you hit your knee you injure yourself you hit your knee you injure yourself you hit your knee you put an ice pack on it um you have a you put an ice pack on it um you have a you put an ice pack on it um you have a bad back you put a heat pack um but I've bad back you put a heat pack um but I've bad back you put a heat pack um but I've never only recently have I really never only recently have I really never only recently have I really understood the the relationship they can understood the the relationship they can understood the the relationship they can both have and how they can sort of both both have and how they can sort of both both have and how they can sort of both be used for the same things but be used for the same things but be used for the same things but different things yeah definitely so different things yeah definitely so different things yeah definitely so they're absolutely opposing um in terms they're absolutely opposing um in terms they're absolutely opposing um in terms of the benefits of what they can do but of the benefits of what they can do but of the benefits of what they can do but then working together there are so many then working together there are so many then working together there are so many incredible things that can come from incredible things that can come from incredible things that can come from this uh so for example reducing pain this uh so for example reducing pain this uh so for example reducing pain increasing our circulation in our body increasing our circulation in our body increasing our circulation in our body and reducing inflammation just to name a and reducing inflammation just to name a and reducing inflammation just to name a few uh but when we do hot there are some few uh but when we do hot there are some few uh but when we do hot there are some specific things that are happening to specific things that are happening to specific things that are happening to our body and when we do cold there are our body and when we do cold there are our body and when we do cold there are also some specific things that are also some specific things that are also some specific things that are happening to our body and then when we happening to our body and then when we happening to our body and then when we do alternate therapy which is uh the

04:00do alternate therapy which is uh the do alternate therapy which is uh the contrasting therapy that a lot of contrasting therapy that a lot of contrasting therapy that a lot of recovery centers are recommending uh recovery centers are recommending uh recovery centers are recommending uh that's going to have a fantastic benefit that's going to have a fantastic benefit that's going to have a fantastic benefit when working together and and in what um when working together and and in what um when working together and and in what um is there like an in order usually like is there like an in order usually like is there like an in order usually like is it usually hot first is better than is it usually hot first is better than is it usually hot first is better than you know is it better to go hot first you know is it better to go hot first you know is it better to go hot first and then cold or is it cold and then hot and then cold or is it cold and then hot and then cold or is it cold and then hot yeah most people would say hot and then yeah most people would say hot and then yeah most people would say hot and then cold but I guess there's a few different cold but I guess there's a few different cold but I guess there's a few different ways that you can do it not one size ways that you can do it not one size ways that you can do it not one size fits all Michael so basically we would fits all Michael so basically we would fits all Michael so basically we would recommend uh the hot exposure in say recommend uh the hot exposure in say recommend uh the hot exposure in say something like a fire infrared sauna for something like a fire infrared sauna for something like a fire infrared sauna for example because at a cellular level um example because at a cellular level um example because at a cellular level um our body is heating from the inside out our body is heating from the inside out our body is heating from the inside out and we're detoxifying our body and then and we're detoxifying our body and then and we're detoxifying our body and then once we've released those toxins and um once we've released those toxins and um once we've released those toxins and um and released uh you know any tension in and released uh you know any tension in and released uh you know any tension in our muscles then we're going to go our muscles then we're going to go our muscles then we're going to go through to the cold therapy and so I through to the cold therapy and so I through to the cold therapy and so I guess the science behind it is that when guess the science behind it is that when guess the science behind it is that when you're doing the hot you're going to uh you're doing the hot you're going to uh you're doing the hot you're going to uh dilate your blood flow okay so you dilate your blood flow okay so you dilate your blood flow okay so you dilating your vessels your blood flowing dilating your vessels your blood flowing dilating your vessels your blood flowing essential nutrients are being formed and essential nutrients are being formed and essential nutrients are being formed and that's going to your muscles but when that's going to your muscles but when that's going to your muscles but when we're doing the old therapy we're

05:00we're doing the old therapy we're we're doing the old therapy we're actually doing the opposite so we're actually doing the opposite so we're actually doing the opposite so we're restricting those vessels um and then restricting those vessels um and then restricting those vessels um and then when you're doing those things in when you're doing those things in when you're doing those things in conjunction with each other that's where conjunction with each other that's where conjunction with each other that's where you start to you know get that increased you start to you know get that increased you start to you know get that increased energy increased recovery increased mood energy increased recovery increased mood energy increased recovery increased mood um and all of those different benefits um and all of those different benefits um and all of those different benefits that come along with it yeah that makes that come along with it yeah that makes that come along with it yeah that makes sense and and even like when it comes to sense and and even like when it comes to sense and and even like when it comes to for example the a SAA because I've had for example the a SAA because I've had for example the a SAA because I've had there are so many more benefits to a SAA there are so many more benefits to a SAA there are so many more benefits to a SAA than for example than a steam room um or than for example than a steam room um or than for example than a steam room um or um or just being in a you know being in um or just being in a you know being in um or just being in a you know being in the sun for example um you know the sun for example um you know the sun for example um you know obviously everything has its pros and obviously everything has its pros and obviously everything has its pros and cons but um if if you could just expand cons but um if if you could just expand cons but um if if you could just expand a little bit on that side of things a little bit on that side of things a little bit on that side of things because not many are there different because not many are there different because not many are there different types of saers do they all sort of do types of saers do they all sort of do types of saers do they all sort of do the same thing um and is it and how long the same thing um and is it and how long the same thing um and is it and how long would someone usually be in there for as would someone usually be in there for as would someone usually be in there for as well because I've jumped in some for 5 well because I've jumped in some for 5 well because I've jumped in some for 5 minutes I've jumped in some for 45 minutes I've jumped in some for 45 minutes I've jumped in some for 45 minutes yeah absolutely so I guess minutes yeah absolutely so I guess minutes yeah absolutely so I guess there's two different types of saers there's two different types of saers there's two different types of saers that are mainstream so we have the far that are mainstream so we have the far that are mainstream so we have the far infrared SAA uh that's really working at infrared SAA uh that's really working at infrared SAA uh that's really working at a cellular level from the inside out and

06:00a cellular level from the inside out and a cellular level from the inside out and then you have your traditional more then you have your traditional more then you have your traditional more finished saers and that's going to be finished saers and that's going to be finished saers and that's going to be hitting you from the outside in and so hitting you from the outside in and so hitting you from the outside in and so um both of them have their benefits and um both of them have their benefits and um both of them have their benefits and there's many different studies that go there's many different studies that go there's many different studies that go along with that but the far infrared along with that but the far infrared along with that but the far infrared sauna has really shown some amazing sauna has really shown some amazing sauna has really shown some amazing benefits in terms of um I guess benefits in terms of um I guess benefits in terms of um I guess decreasing that stress on the body decreasing that stress on the body decreasing that stress on the body increasing the cortisol levels in the increasing the cortisol levels in the increasing the cortisol levels in the body relieving pain quite quickly um body relieving pain quite quickly um body relieving pain quite quickly um increasing your cardiovascular health increasing your cardiovascular health increasing your cardiovascular health and also your skin Health as well and and also your skin Health as well and and also your skin Health as well and the detox ification benefits are quite the detox ification benefits are quite the detox ification benefits are quite quickly so you are getting you know um a quickly so you are getting you know um a quickly so you are getting you know um a good detox sweating out all those good detox sweating out all those good detox sweating out all those impurities in your body within 30 impurities in your body within 30 impurities in your body within 30 minutes yeah yeah exactly because minutes yeah yeah exactly because minutes yeah yeah exactly because sweating is good right like it's we need sweating is good right like it's we need sweating is good right like it's we need to sweat and it's and again like I think to sweat and it's and again like I think to sweat and it's and again like I think a lot of people don't realize the a lot of people don't realize the a lot of people don't realize the importance of sweating um you know years importance of sweating um you know years importance of sweating um you know years ago I stopped using antiperspirant ago I stopped using antiperspirant ago I stopped using antiperspirant deodorant for example you know I use deodorant for example you know I use deodorant for example you know I use like a different one like it's a natural like a different one like it's a natural like a different one like it's a natural one that sort of takes away smell um and one that sort of takes away smell um and one that sort of takes away smell um and I don't have you know a pretty bad I don't have you know a pretty bad I don't have you know a pretty bad sweating issue anyway you know I know

07:00sweating issue anyway you know I know sweating issue anyway you know I know every person's different as well but um every person's different as well but um every person's different as well but um you know just just sweating you know you know just just sweating you know you know just just sweating you know just something literally a simple as just something literally a simple as just something literally a simple as that because yet the the detoxing the um that because yet the the detoxing the um that because yet the the detoxing the um so it's not someone that just has an so it's not someone that just has an so it's not someone that just has an injury like that can benefit from a injury like that can benefit from a injury like that can benefit from a sauna no you know there's so many sauna no you know there's so many sauna no you know there's so many different benefits as we've said but different benefits as we've said but different benefits as we've said but somebody that's dealing with stress for somebody that's dealing with stress for somebody that's dealing with stress for example might use the sauna just to help example might use the sauna just to help example might use the sauna just to help to calm their nervous system uh there's to calm their nervous system uh there's to calm their nervous system uh there's things like color light therapy for things like color light therapy for things like color light therapy for example blue light therapy which can example blue light therapy which can example blue light therapy which can help to reduce cortisol levels in the help to reduce cortisol levels in the help to reduce cortisol levels in the body so that's an amazing benefit cuz body so that's an amazing benefit cuz body so that's an amazing benefit cuz our mind and our body is connected so if our mind and our body is connected so if our mind and our body is connected so if we're feeling really stressed mentally we're feeling really stressed mentally we're feeling really stressed mentally that is going to have an effect on our that is going to have an effect on our that is going to have an effect on our physical health as well so that's just physical health as well so that's just physical health as well so that's just one um person that could benefit I guess one um person that could benefit I guess one um person that could benefit I guess there stress in our day-to-day lives you there stress in our day-to-day lives you there stress in our day-to-day lives you know we're all so busy um we've got high know we're all so busy um we've got high know we're all so busy um we've got high demanding jobs we've got families all demanding jobs we've got families all demanding jobs we've got families all these things so it's just a moment um to these things so it's just a moment um to these things so it's just a moment um to pause to relax the mind um and then I pause to relax the mind um and then I pause to relax the mind um and then I guess the other side is you're going to

08:00guess the other side is you're going to guess the other side is you're going to get the F physical benefits from get the F physical benefits from get the F physical benefits from posttraining recovery so anybody that's posttraining recovery so anybody that's posttraining recovery so anybody that's been training in the gym might have been training in the gym might have been training in the gym might have tight muscles it can help to relax their tight muscles it can help to relax their tight muscles it can help to relax their muscles um and as I said getting that muscles um and as I said getting that muscles um and as I said getting that blood flow back and essential nutrients blood flow back and essential nutrients blood flow back and essential nutrients into the muscle which is going to help into the muscle which is going to help into the muscle which is going to help them to recover faster and then perform them to recover faster and then perform them to recover faster and then perform harder next time they training yes and harder next time they training yes and harder next time they training yes and and what are some other types of hot and what are some other types of hot and what are some other types of hot therapies I guess uh the hot spars a therapies I guess uh the hot spars a therapies I guess uh the hot spars a magnesium Spar is one uh so that's going magnesium Spar is one uh so that's going magnesium Spar is one uh so that's going to be at around 40° and that's going to to be at around 40° and that's going to to be at around 40° and that's going to your core temperature up so when you're your core temperature up so when you're your core temperature up so when you're in there you do become quite relaxed but in there you do become quite relaxed but in there you do become quite relaxed but it is getting your metabolism going so it is getting your metabolism going so it is getting your metabolism going so that's another way if you are unable to that's another way if you are unable to that's another way if you are unable to go into a heat of up to 60° um that 40° go into a heat of up to 60° um that 40° go into a heat of up to 60° um that 40° Mark can do very similar things okay Mark can do very similar things okay Mark can do very similar things okay okay and um and so so there's the sauna okay and um and so so there's the sauna okay and um and so so there's the sauna there's the um uh the you know sitting there's the um uh the you know sitting there's the um uh the you know sitting in something really warm um I mean what in something really warm um I mean what in something really warm um I mean what about steam rooms do you have a thought about steam rooms do you have a thought about steam rooms do you have a thought on that like an opinion on the steam on that like an opinion on the steam on that like an opinion on the steam rooms um look it's it's not a modality

09:00rooms um look it's it's not a modality rooms um look it's it's not a modality that body Cove uses um but I definitely that body Cove uses um but I definitely that body Cove uses um but I definitely think there's a place for it um it comes think there's a place for it um it comes think there's a place for it um it comes back to you know 2,000 years ago where back to you know 2,000 years ago where back to you know 2,000 years ago where people were using hot and cold therapies people were using hot and cold therapies people were using hot and cold therapies um in the Nordic region so all of those um in the Nordic region so all of those um in the Nordic region so all of those things will have a benefit because it's things will have a benefit because it's things will have a benefit because it's going to help to sweat out any of those going to help to sweat out any of those going to help to sweat out any of those impurities in your body so it's going to impurities in your body so it's going to impurities in your body so it's going to help to release lactic acid in the body help to release lactic acid in the body help to release lactic acid in the body it's going to help release any of those it's going to help release any of those it's going to help release any of those heavy metal toxins so they all do have a heavy metal toxins so they all do have a heavy metal toxins so they all do have a place um I guess it's just finding the place um I guess it's just finding the place um I guess it's just finding the service that you enjoy most something service that you enjoy most something service that you enjoy most something that you can do regularly because I that you can do regularly because I that you can do regularly because I think this is a ritual it's not just a think this is a ritual it's not just a think this is a ritual it's not just a one-off service if you can do these one-off service if you can do these one-off service if you can do these things regular you will start to see the things regular you will start to see the things regular you will start to see the benefits long term yes and and also um benefits long term yes and and also um benefits long term yes and and also um as far as the um the the cold side of as far as the um the the cold side of as far as the um the the cold side of things is concerned I I really want to things is concerned I I really want to things is concerned I I really want to talk about that as well because for me talk about that as well because for me talk about that as well because for me um I'm not a cold person like when it um I'm not a cold person like when it um I'm not a cold person like when it comes to jumping in cold water for comes to jumping in cold water for comes to jumping in cold water for example if there's a you know I hate example if there's a you know I hate example if there's a you know I hate jumping into a swimming pool at the jumping into a swimming pool at the jumping into a swimming pool at the start you know um like that initial plch start you know um like that initial plch start you know um like that initial plch going from being really hot to something

10:00going from being really hot to something going from being really hot to something which is probably cold like um that which is probably cold like um that which is probably cold like um that really gets to me um cold showers I really gets to me um cold showers I really gets to me um cold showers I don't like you know but saying that in don't like you know but saying that in don't like you know but saying that in the last couple of years more than ever the last couple of years more than ever the last couple of years more than ever I've just been reading things listening I've just been reading things listening I've just been reading things listening to podcasts I was at an event the other to podcasts I was at an event the other to podcasts I was at an event the other day and somebody was talking about the day and somebody was talking about the day and somebody was talking about the benefits of cold showers and cold benefits of cold showers and cold benefits of cold showers and cold therapy um C can can we get into that as therapy um C can can we get into that as therapy um C can can we get into that as well now because I feel like this is well now because I feel like this is well now because I feel like this is something a lot of us will are probably something a lot of us will are probably something a lot of us will are probably more familiar with the hot side of more familiar with the hot side of more familiar with the hot side of things um and not as much with the cold things um and not as much with the cold things um and not as much with the cold um apart from from probably what we've um apart from from probably what we've um apart from from probably what we've seen on social media and seen our seen on social media and seen our seen on social media and seen our friends do in the last 3 or 4 years but friends do in the last 3 or 4 years but friends do in the last 3 or 4 years but um coal therapy's really made a bit of a um coal therapy's really made a bit of a um coal therapy's really made a bit of a an appearance hasn't it recently yeah an appearance hasn't it recently yeah an appearance hasn't it recently yeah definitely there's the trends all over definitely there's the trends all over definitely there's the trends all over Tik Tok of people videoing their ice Tik Tok of people videoing their ice Tik Tok of people videoing their ice plunges and their cold baths and it's plunges and their cold baths and it's plunges and their cold baths and it's definitely gain momentum it's definitely gain momentum it's definitely gain momentum it's uncomfortable it's such a challenge and uncomfortable it's such a challenge and uncomfortable it's such a challenge and I think most people would agree with you I think most people would agree with you I think most people would agree with you you know cold showers are horrible at you know cold showers are horrible at you know cold showers are horrible at the best of times but with the the best of times but with the the best of times but with the temperatures that we're seeing with the temperatures that we're seeing with the temperatures that we're seeing with the cold plunges and the ice plunges it is cold plunges and the ice plunges it is cold plunges and the ice plunges it is more than just uncomfortable it is

11:00more than just uncomfortable it is more than just uncomfortable it is actually a shock to the body so your actually a shock to the body so your actually a shock to the body so your body is going into this intensely cold body is going into this intensely cold body is going into this intensely cold situation and your body kicks into fight situation and your body kicks into fight situation and your body kicks into fight or flight mode so your body has to adapt or flight mode so your body has to adapt or flight mode so your body has to adapt quite quickly and um what's happening is quite quickly and um what's happening is quite quickly and um what's happening is that those blood vessels are actually that those blood vessels are actually that those blood vessels are actually restricting it's slowing the blood flow restricting it's slowing the blood flow restricting it's slowing the blood flow right down you're going to actually have right down you're going to actually have right down you're going to actually have to control your breath work just so that to control your breath work just so that to control your breath work just so that you don't hyperventilate because we you don't hyperventilate because we you don't hyperventilate because we really need to um to be able to sit in really need to um to be able to sit in really need to um to be able to sit in that Stillness for at least a minute to that Stillness for at least a minute to that Stillness for at least a minute to start to see some of those benefits you start to see some of those benefits you start to see some of those benefits you know nothing like jumping in and out for know nothing like jumping in and out for know nothing like jumping in and out for 5 seconds it's it's really that we want 5 seconds it's it's really that we want 5 seconds it's it's really that we want to try to help you to build your mental to try to help you to build your mental to try to help you to build your mental resilience so that you can start to see resilience so that you can start to see resilience so that you can start to see some of those uh benefits long term yeah some of those uh benefits long term yeah some of those uh benefits long term yeah and can ask why is it so uncomfortable and can ask why is it so uncomfortable and can ask why is it so uncomfortable and why is it a shock to the system and why is it a shock to the system and why is it a shock to the system apart from obviously just being cold apart from obviously just being cold apart from obviously just being cold yeah so the temperatures of course so at yeah so the temperatures of course so at yeah so the temperatures of course so at a cold plunge you're usually looking at a cold plunge you're usually looking at a cold plunge you're usually looking at around 5 to 15 degrees now that probably around 5 to 15 degrees now that probably around 5 to 15 degrees now that probably doesn't sound very cold for a lot of doesn't sound very cold for a lot of doesn't sound very cold for a lot of listeners but honestly it is so listeners but honestly it is so listeners but honestly it is so incredibly cold incredibly cold incredibly cold an average would be about 10° for a cold

12:00an average would be about 10° for a cold an average would be about 10° for a cold plunge and they use these inbuilt plunge and they use these inbuilt plunge and they use these inbuilt chillers in there to give you a chillers in there to give you a chillers in there to give you a consistent temperature so you won't have consistent temperature so you won't have consistent temperature so you won't have pockets of inconsistency so your body pockets of inconsistency so your body pockets of inconsistency so your body being fully submerged is now reducing being fully submerged is now reducing being fully submerged is now reducing its core temperature and it's having to its core temperature and it's having to its core temperature and it's having to adapt to this cold um temperature around adapt to this cold um temperature around adapt to this cold um temperature around 5 or 10 degrees and yeah your body is 5 or 10 degrees and yeah your body is 5 or 10 degrees and yeah your body is literally going into shock there's an literally going into shock there's an literally going into shock there's an incredible stress response that's incredible stress response that's incredible stress response that's happening in your body yes and then happening in your body yes and then happening in your body yes and then after that I mean obviously the benefit after that I mean obviously the benefit after that I mean obviously the benefit is the the recovery yeah like the is the the recovery yeah like the is the the recovery yeah like the recovery of the muscles and yeah recovery of the muscles and yeah recovery of the muscles and yeah absolutely so uh when the blood flil absolutely so uh when the blood flil absolutely so uh when the blood flil constrict uh all that lactic waste is constrict uh all that lactic waste is constrict uh all that lactic waste is being flushed from our muscles so that's being flushed from our muscles so that's being flushed from our muscles so that's going to reduce the inflammation in the going to reduce the inflammation in the going to reduce the inflammation in the body uh the other thing that can help body uh the other thing that can help body uh the other thing that can help with uh cold cold baths and Ice plunges with uh cold cold baths and Ice plunges with uh cold cold baths and Ice plunges is that our Brown fat is activated so is that our Brown fat is activated so is that our Brown fat is activated so we're turning the white fat into Brown we're turning the white fat into Brown we're turning the white fat into Brown fat and we're using that energy so we're fat and we're using that energy so we're fat and we're using that energy so we're expending energy while we're in the ice expending energy while we're in the ice expending energy while we're in the ice plunge and then that is going to be plunge and then that is going to be plunge and then that is going to be burning calor cies and then can have a

13:00burning calor cies and then can have a burning calor cies and then can have a benefit of weight loss as well um benefit of weight loss as well um benefit of weight loss as well um there's so many responses that are there's so many responses that are there's so many responses that are happening in our body so our dopamine happening in our body so our dopamine happening in our body so our dopamine levels are increasing our vagus nerve is levels are increasing our vagus nerve is levels are increasing our vagus nerve is activated and that signals to our body activated and that signals to our body activated and that signals to our body uh to reduce our stress as well um our uh to reduce our stress as well um our uh to reduce our stress as well um our immune system is boosting because we're immune system is boosting because we're immune system is boosting because we're increasing our white and our blood uh increasing our white and our blood uh increasing our white and our blood uh white and red blood cells as well so white and red blood cells as well so white and red blood cells as well so there's so many things physiologically there's so many things physiologically there's so many things physiologically that are happening in your body while that are happening in your body while that are happening in your body while you're submerged in the cold water yeah you're submerged in the cold water yeah you're submerged in the cold water yeah okay and and in and also as far as coal okay and and in and also as far as coal okay and and in and also as far as coal therapy is concerned I actually let's therapy is concerned I actually let's therapy is concerned I actually let's backtrack a little bit with the ice buff backtrack a little bit with the ice buff backtrack a little bit with the ice buff um because I've done it a couple of um because I've done it a couple of um because I've done it a couple of times are you meant to put your whole times are you meant to put your whole times are you meant to put your whole head in it because I've seen some people head in it because I've seen some people head in it because I've seen some people do it they put literally their head do it they put literally their head do it they put literally their head inside everything I've seen some where inside everything I've seen some where inside everything I've seen some where they put everything but their head yes they put everything but their head yes they put everything but their head yes so we recommend going down to about your so we recommend going down to about your so we recommend going down to about your sort of your neckline that's going to sort of your neckline that's going to sort of your neckline that's going to activate activate the vegus nerve and activate activate the vegus nerve and activate activate the vegus nerve and that's where you start to see some of that's where you start to see some of that's where you start to see some of the benefits but right at the end if you the benefits but right at the end if you the benefits but right at the end if you want to do a full submersion and dip want to do a full submersion and dip want to do a full submersion and dip your head in that's going to give you a your head in that's going to give you a your head in that's going to give you a real feeling of vitality and this energy

14:00real feeling of vitality and this energy real feeling of vitality and this energy uplift as well yeah okay see K I've uplift as well yeah okay see K I've uplift as well yeah okay see K I've probably been chickening out the whole probably been chickening out the whole probably been chickening out the whole time not doing you wouldn't want to hold time not doing you wouldn't want to hold time not doing you wouldn't want to hold your breath because it is important body your breath because it is important body your breath because it is important body under further stress but a quick little under further stress but a quick little under further stress but a quick little dip in and out that can be really dip in and out that can be really dip in and out that can be really beneficial yes that that makes sense as beneficial yes that that makes sense as beneficial yes that that makes sense as well because of course you can't breathe well because of course you can't breathe well because of course you can't breathe underwater so uh yeah that just occurred underwater so uh yeah that just occurred underwater so uh yeah that just occurred to me and and with coal therapy are to me and and with coal therapy are to me and and with coal therapy are there any other types of coal therapy or there any other types of coal therapy or there any other types of coal therapy or or would you say that's the the main one or would you say that's the the main one or would you say that's the the main one well so there is two cold therapies is well so there is two cold therapies is well so there is two cold therapies is the ice plunge and so that's why you the ice plunge and so that's why you the ice plunge and so that's why you usually would get like a chest freezer usually would get like a chest freezer usually would get like a chest freezer and you would put bags of ice in there and you would put bags of ice in there and you would put bags of ice in there and and also water as well and then you and and also water as well and then you and and also water as well and then you have your chillers which are your cold have your chillers which are your cold have your chillers which are your cold plunges um you could also look at doing plunges um you could also look at doing plunges um you could also look at doing external cold plunges so in a river um external cold plunges so in a river um external cold plunges so in a river um you know like a really icy lake um that you know like a really icy lake um that you know like a really icy lake um that would be the more I guess natural way of would be the more I guess natural way of would be the more I guess natural way of doing cold plunging and then of course doing cold plunging and then of course doing cold plunging and then of course you have like your first aid principles you have like your first aid principles you have like your first aid principles where you're just going to do your rice where you're just going to do your rice where you're just going to do your rice which is um you know your rest your ice which is um you know your rest your ice which is um you know your rest your ice your compression your compression your compression and then your elevation as well so those

15:00and then your elevation as well so those and then your elevation as well so those things that you can do to help reduce things that you can do to help reduce things that you can do to help reduce inflammation and injury as well yeah and inflammation and injury as well yeah and inflammation and injury as well yeah and what I say with with a lot of these what I say with with a lot of these what I say with with a lot of these things it's also about baby steps like things it's also about baby steps like things it's also about baby steps like that don't just jump in and go all out that don't just jump in and go all out that don't just jump in and go all out and try to hit five minutes and the ice and try to hit five minutes and the ice and try to hit five minutes and the ice plunge straight away or or don't do the plunge straight away or or don't do the plunge straight away or or don't do the sauna for you know a whole 40 minutes sauna for you know a whole 40 minutes sauna for you know a whole 40 minutes for example if you're might have done it many of times it's might have done it many of times it's really important for you to listen to really important for you to listen to really important for you to listen to your body and recognize you know um how your body and recognize you know um how your body and recognize you know um how you're feeling and then respond to that you're feeling and then respond to that you're feeling and then respond to that so a lot of people that are just so a lot of people that are just so a lot of people that are just starting out if they are in good starting out if they are in good starting out if they are in good physical health and I really want to physical health and I really want to physical health and I really want to stress that because if you do have any stress that because if you do have any stress that because if you do have any underlying conditions hot and cold underlying conditions hot and cold underlying conditions hot and cold therapy because of the stress response therapy because of the stress response therapy because of the stress response your body is going through can actually your body is going through can actually your body is going through can actually be dangerous so we need to make sure be dangerous so we need to make sure be dangerous so we need to make sure that you're of Sound Health before you that you're of Sound Health before you that you're of Sound Health before you go through and do these types of things go through and do these types of things go through and do these types of things so making sure you don't have anything so making sure you don't have anything so making sure you don't have anything like heart disease um the history of

16:00like heart disease um the history of like heart disease um the history of stroke cancer and even some autoimmune stroke cancer and even some autoimmune stroke cancer and even some autoimmune diseases as well uh but if you are in diseases as well uh but if you are in diseases as well uh but if you are in good health yeah definitely start slow good health yeah definitely start slow good health yeah definitely start slow so going into a sauna uh because your so going into a sauna uh because your so going into a sauna uh because your body temperature is increasing gradually body temperature is increasing gradually body temperature is increasing gradually you will adapt with that temperature but you will adapt with that temperature but you will adapt with that temperature but if you notice you're feeling hot if you if you notice you're feeling hot if you if you notice you're feeling hot if you notice you're feeling a bit dizzy you're notice you're feeling a bit dizzy you're notice you're feeling a bit dizzy you're just going to open that door and you're just going to open that door and you're just going to open that door and you're going to come out um staying hydrated is going to come out um staying hydrated is going to come out um staying hydrated is really vital especially when you're really vital especially when you're really vital especially when you're doing that as well um cooling your core doing that as well um cooling your core doing that as well um cooling your core temperature down and then going back in temperature down and then going back in temperature down and then going back in is also Al something you can do so is also Al something you can do so is also Al something you can do so definitely listen to how you feel when definitely listen to how you feel when definitely listen to how you feel when you're doing an ice plunge or a cold you're doing an ice plunge or a cold you're doing an ice plunge or a cold bath there is going to be an element of bath there is going to be an element of bath there is going to be an element of discomfort and you will have to push discomfort and you will have to push discomfort and you will have to push through that a little bit so for example through that a little bit so for example through that a little bit so for example when we get into an ice plunge we really when we get into an ice plunge we really when we get into an ice plunge we really need to control our breathing so that we need to control our breathing so that we need to control our breathing so that we don't don't don't hyperventilate but you want to look for hyperventilate but you want to look for hyperventilate but you want to look for things like is my um is my pulse beating things like is my um is my pulse beating things like is my um is my pulse beating too fast am I feeling anxious am I too fast am I feeling anxious am I too fast am I feeling anxious am I feeling you know claustrophobic am I feeling you know claustrophobic am I feeling you know claustrophobic am I feeling unsafe and if the answer is yes feeling unsafe and if the answer is yes feeling unsafe and if the answer is yes to any of those things you just get to any of those things you just get to any of those things you just get straight out but if you can control your

17:00straight out but if you can control your straight out but if you can control your breath and you can sort of meditate breath and you can sort of meditate breath and you can sort of meditate through that discomfort that's where the through that discomfort that's where the through that discomfort that's where the magic starts to happen yeah can that magic starts to happen yeah can that magic starts to happen yeah can that makes makes makes sense these podcasts have been brought sense these podcasts have been brought sense these podcasts have been brought to you by better financial planning to you by better financial planning to you by better financial planning Australia to book a free 15minute phone Australia to book a free 15minute phone Australia to book a free 15minute phone show visit better financial planning.com and and as far as like the um I guess and and as far as like the um I guess the the the the advantages and the the the the advantages and the the the the advantages and disadvantages are concerned you know of disadvantages are concerned you know of disadvantages are concerned you know of recovery um sort of talk about the recovery um sort of talk about the recovery um sort of talk about the disadvantages and they're probably more disadvantages and they're probably more disadvantages and they're probably more risks than anything you know of course risks than anything you know of course risks than anything you know of course speak to a doctor um to your doctor if speak to a doctor um to your doctor if speak to a doctor um to your doctor if you have any health concerns and um you have any health concerns and um you have any health concerns and um listen to your body as far as the listen to your body as far as the listen to your body as far as the positives are concerned that the positives are concerned that the positives are concerned that the benefits we've discussed the physical benefits we've discussed the physical benefits we've discussed the physical and I feel like you've only slightly and I feel like you've only slightly and I feel like you've only slightly touched on the mental side of things and touched on the mental side of things and touched on the mental side of things and to me you know when I've I've gone there to me you know when I've I've gone there to me you know when I've I've gone there and a couple of times and I've walked and a couple of times and I've walked and a couple of times and I've walked out yes physically I felt great um and I out yes physically I felt great um and I out yes physically I felt great um and I probably you know and probably probably you know and probably probably you know and probably physically you don't feel great straight

18:00physically you don't feel great straight physically you don't feel great straight away probably takes a few days to really away probably takes a few days to really away probably takes a few days to really see the the proper benefits but I'd say see the the proper benefits but I'd say see the the proper benefits but I'd say mentally for me was the highlight you mentally for me was the highlight you mentally for me was the highlight you know because you've talked about the know because you've talked about the know because you've talked about the Vegas nerve I've heard about the Vegas Vegas nerve I've heard about the Vegas Vegas nerve I've heard about the Vegas nerve so many times it's um one of the nerve so many times it's um one of the nerve so many times it's um one of the longest um cranial nerves in our body um longest um cranial nerves in our body um longest um cranial nerves in our body um and it's it's really it's it's related and it's it's really it's it's related and it's it's really it's it's related so much to mental health but just if we so much to mental health but just if we so much to mental health but just if we can just really talk talk about that and can just really talk talk about that and can just really talk talk about that and if you could highlight the benefits from if you could highlight the benefits from if you could highlight the benefits from a mental health perspective because to a mental health perspective because to a mental health perspective because to me that was my highlight um and to that me that was my highlight um and to that me that was my highlight um and to that was something I felt straight away like was something I felt straight away like was something I felt straight away like literally literally literally instantly well that's great to hear I instantly well that's great to hear I instantly well that's great to hear I guess not many of us actually stopping guess not many of us actually stopping guess not many of us actually stopping and we're going at such a fast pace in and we're going at such a fast pace in and we're going at such a fast pace in our lives that actually taking a break our lives that actually taking a break our lives that actually taking a break and actually just being is something and actually just being is something and actually just being is something that we do not very often so that in that we do not very often so that in that we do not very often so that in itself can be a really nice way just to itself can be a really nice way just to itself can be a really nice way just to reset um focusing on relaxing activities reset um focusing on relaxing activities reset um focusing on relaxing activities as well will help you to control your as well will help you to control your as well will help you to control your breathing and there's so many benefits breathing and there's so many benefits breathing and there's so many benefits that come along with controlled that come along with controlled that come along with controlled breathing but I guess if you look at it breathing but I guess if you look at it breathing but I guess if you look at it as a whole it's all about regulating

19:00as a whole it's all about regulating as a whole it's all about regulating your nervous system so we're always just your nervous system so we're always just your nervous system so we're always just in such a stress response or a flight in such a stress response or a flight in such a stress response or a flight flight response that our body doesn't flight response that our body doesn't flight response that our body doesn't actually get a chance to regulate so actually get a chance to regulate so actually get a chance to regulate so with all of these different Services with all of these different Services with all of these different Services there are so many health benefits but there are so many health benefits but there are so many health benefits but then working together it's going to help then working together it's going to help then working together it's going to help relax our mind it's going to help relax our mind it's going to help relax our mind it's going to help distress us it's going to lift our mood distress us it's going to lift our mood distress us it's going to lift our mood and overall I think um all of those and overall I think um all of those and overall I think um all of those things are going to let like let you things are going to let like let you things are going to let like let you feel optimized it's going to make you feel optimized it's going to make you feel optimized it's going to make you feel you can take on the world it's feel you can take on the world it's feel you can take on the world it's going to give you that confidence um going to give you that confidence um going to give you that confidence um that you can you know just stop and that you can you know just stop and that you can you know just stop and you're just being with yourself if that you're just being with yourself if that you're just being with yourself if that makes sense yeah of course and and and makes sense yeah of course and and and makes sense yeah of course and and and also um also um also um even like my and this this applies to even like my and this this applies to even like my and this this applies to all exercise but my thought process as all exercise but my thought process as all exercise but my thought process as well is by taking that time out you're well is by taking that time out you're well is by taking that time out you're allowing yourself to relax and to allowing yourself to relax and to allowing yourself to relax and to disconnect because this may come to a disconnect because this may come to a disconnect because this may come to a shock come to most people as a shock but shock come to most people as a shock but shock come to most people as a shock but you can't take your phone into the sauna you can't take your phone into the sauna you can't take your phone into the sauna you can't take your phone into the ice

21:00um or or or anything anything else that um or or or anything anything else that body Cove offers cuz there are a few body Cove offers cuz there are a few body Cove offers cuz there are a few other things that they have yeah so body other things that they have yeah so body other things that they have yeah so body Cove we start with the norch compression Cove we start with the norch compression Cove we start with the norch compression boots so that's uh like an airbag that boots so that's uh like an airbag that boots so that's uh like an airbag that goes onto each of your individual legs goes onto each of your individual legs goes onto each of your individual legs for those that haven't used them before for those that haven't used them before for those that haven't used them before it will compress your body with air so it will compress your body with air so it will compress your body with air so it's going to give you I guess a feeling it's going to give you I guess a feeling it's going to give you I guess a feeling of um like a soft tissue massage and of um like a soft tissue massage and of um like a soft tissue massage and that's going to force all the toxins out that's going to force all the toxins out that's going to force all the toxins out of your lower extremities up into your of your lower extremities up into your of your lower extremities up into your gut which is a great thing to do Post gut which is a great thing to do Post gut which is a great thing to do Post training cuz we're removing that lactic training cuz we're removing that lactic training cuz we're removing that lactic weight from the body and that's going to weight from the body and that's going to weight from the body and that's going to prevent Doms so if anybody doesn't know prevent Doms so if anybody doesn't know prevent Doms so if anybody doesn't know what Doms are that's the delayed onset what Doms are that's the delayed onset what Doms are that's the delayed onset muscle soreness that you can get the muscle soreness that you can get the muscle soreness that you can get the next day you know when you can't sit next day you know when you can't sit next day you know when you can't sit down on the toilet properly after a good down on the toilet properly after a good down on the toilet properly after a good gym workout so that's going to actually gym workout so that's going to actually gym workout so that's going to actually help to relieve that pain and uh then help to relieve that pain and uh then help to relieve that pain and uh then you can get straight back into your you can get straight back into your you can get straight back into your training again but if we're going to do training again but if we're going to do training again but if we're going to do that before we go into a sauna for that before we go into a sauna for that before we go into a sauna for example we've already done a lot of the example we've already done a lot of the example we've already done a lot of the work to stimulate the lymph so now we're work to stimulate the lymph so now we're work to stimulate the lymph so now we're going to sweat out all those toxins in going to sweat out all those toxins in going to sweat out all those toxins in the sauna so they really work well the sauna so they really work well the sauna so they really work well handed hand um one after the other and

22:00handed hand um one after the other and handed hand um one after the other and then from there going from the sauna then from there going from the sauna then from there going from the sauna into the contrasting pools that's where into the contrasting pools that's where into the contrasting pools that's where of course you going to get both those of course you going to get both those of course you going to get both those hot and cold benefits and then after hot and cold benefits and then after hot and cold benefits and then after that we finish off and really just take that we finish off and really just take that we finish off and really just take a moment to be mindful and we do a a moment to be mindful and we do a a moment to be mindful and we do a guided meditation in our salt therapy guided meditation in our salt therapy guided meditation in our salt therapy room and that's a really nice flow to I room and that's a really nice flow to I room and that's a really nice flow to I guess help you recover mind and body guess help you recover mind and body guess help you recover mind and body okay and um and and also um because okay and um and and also um because okay and um and and also um because there are some massive massive benefits there are some massive massive benefits there are some massive massive benefits to the the salt therapy side of to the the salt therapy side of to the the salt therapy side of things if if you can just expand on that things if if you can just expand on that things if if you can just expand on that as well because it's um it's it's a big as well because it's um it's it's a big as well because it's um it's it's a big thing like for me I struggle to relax thing like for me I struggle to relax thing like for me I struggle to relax sometimes and just to to sit there and sometimes and just to to sit there and sometimes and just to to sit there and I'll be honest with you I'm not you know I'll be honest with you I'm not you know I'll be honest with you I'm not you know I don't think I when I did the salt I don't think I when I did the salt I don't think I when I did the salt therapy um I definitely didn't um relax therapy um I definitely didn't um relax therapy um I definitely didn't um relax properly cuz I find it hard to switch properly cuz I find it hard to switch properly cuz I find it hard to switch off um but just from a mental off um but just from a mental off um but just from a mental perspective like it's it's um I've heard perspective like it's it's um I've heard perspective like it's it's um I've heard of a lot of benefits of just even having of a lot of benefits of just even having of a lot of benefits of just even having like a salt lamp in your house being in like a salt lamp in your house being in like a salt lamp in your house being in a room of

23:00a room of a room of salt that's right so I guess it's so salt that's right so I guess it's so salt that's right so I guess it's so uncomfortable for us to do nothing isn't uncomfortable for us to do nothing isn't uncomfortable for us to do nothing isn't it so we can't just really sit there it so we can't just really sit there it so we can't just really sit there we're always um you know being we're always um you know being we're always um you know being distracted by things scrolling on our distracted by things scrolling on our distracted by things scrolling on our phone uh so The Salt Room really was phone uh so The Salt Room really was phone uh so The Salt Room really was designed to be a relaxation space first designed to be a relaxation space first designed to be a relaxation space first and foremost there are a lot of benefits and foremost there are a lot of benefits and foremost there are a lot of benefits to Salt therapy uh there are two types to Salt therapy uh there are two types to Salt therapy uh there are two types of therapy so there's a active room of therapy so there's a active room of therapy so there's a active room which has a Halo generator and that's which has a Halo generator and that's which has a Halo generator and that's going to break down minute particles of going to break down minute particles of going to break down minute particles of salt into the air or then you have a salt into the air or then you have a salt into the air or then you have a passive room which is what we have and passive room which is what we have and passive room which is what we have and that's going to gradually sweat salt that's going to gradually sweat salt that's going to gradually sweat salt ions into their air and then over time ions into their air and then over time ions into their air and then over time with more exposure uh that's going to with more exposure uh that's going to with more exposure uh that's going to help to open up your Airways kill help to open up your Airways kill help to open up your Airways kill bacteria on your lungs but the most bacteria on your lungs but the most bacteria on your lungs but the most important benefit from the space that we important benefit from the space that we important benefit from the space that we have is have is have is relaxation uh uh at body Cove you'll get relaxation uh uh at body Cove you'll get relaxation uh uh at body Cove you'll get guided meditation headphones so that you guided meditation headphones so that you guided meditation headphones so that you can be guided through your breath work can be guided through your breath work can be guided through your breath work you can be guided through that you can be guided through that you can be guided through that relaxation because a lot of us don't use relaxation because a lot of us don't use relaxation because a lot of us don't use meditation as a daily practice um it's

24:00meditation as a daily practice um it's meditation as a daily practice um it's really hard to actually conquer really hard to actually conquer really hard to actually conquer meditation because there is so many meditation because there is so many meditation because there is so many distractions we've got to come back to distractions we've got to come back to distractions we've got to come back to that present moment uh but we teach you that present moment uh but we teach you that present moment uh but we teach you how to do that with these guided how to do that with these guided how to do that with these guided meditations and uh then you can move meditations and uh then you can move meditations and uh then you can move into things like uh sound bath and uh into things like uh sound bath and uh into things like uh sound bath and uh breath work and you can start to improve breath work and you can start to improve breath work and you can start to improve your skill set when it comes to your skill set when it comes to your skill set when it comes to meditation because it is a skill that we meditation because it is a skill that we meditation because it is a skill that we have to acquire but by Yeah by being have to acquire but by Yeah by being have to acquire but by Yeah by being present um that's where you'll reset present um that's where you'll reset present um that's where you'll reset your nervous system yeah and there's an your nervous system yeah and there's an your nervous system yeah and there's an order there isn't there because um um I order there isn't there because um um I order there isn't there because um um I when I've been to body Cove twice um and when I've been to body Cove twice um and when I've been to body Cove twice um and there's a like a bit of a circuit or there's a like a bit of a circuit or there's a like a bit of a circuit or there's a bit of a process um around an there's a bit of a process um around an there's a bit of a process um around an order in the way things are done and order in the way things are done and order in the way things are done and there's a reason for that as well um if there's a reason for that as well um if there's a reason for that as well um if you can just touch on that and explain you can just touch on that and explain you can just touch on that and explain it as well because I'm hoping a few it as well because I'm hoping a few it as well because I'm hoping a few people listening to this are going to go people listening to this are going to go people listening to this are going to go and check it out um and when they do and check it out um and when they do and check it out um and when they do they'll see this for themselves but they'll see this for themselves but they'll see this for themselves but there's an order in that there's a way there's an order in that there's a way there's an order in that there's a way things are done things are done things are done in you know of course nothing's perfect
