Cryotherapy

1. What is whole-body cryotherapy and how does it work? Whole-body cryotherapy exposes your body to extreme cold for 2–3 minutes in a specialized chamber. This extreme cold triggers your body’s natural healing response, reduces inflammation, releases endorphins, and promotes faster muscle recovery. 2. Can cryotherapy help with weight loss and fat burning? Yes. Cryotherapy boosts brown fat activation and can burn 500–800 calories per session. It also enhances metabolic rate, which helps with fat loss over time. 3. Is cryotherapy safe? Cryotherapy is safe for most people when performed by trained professionals. Those with severe cardiovascular conditions or unmanaged high blood pressure should consult their doctor first. 4. How often should I do cryotherapy? For pain relief or athletic recovery, 2–3 sessions per week are recommended. For general wellness or metabolism boosting, 1–2 sessions per week can deliver noticeable results. 5. What should I wear during cryotherapy? You’ll wear gloves, socks, and undergarments or a swimsuit. Sensitive areas are protected for comfort and safety.

Infrared Sauna

1. What makes infrared saunas different from traditional saunas? Infrared saunas use infrared light to heat your body directly, allowing for deeper tissue penetration at lower temperatures. This improves detoxification, circulation, skin health, and relaxation without the discomfort of high heat. 2. Can infrared saunas help with weight loss? Yes. A session can burn up to 600 calories, improve circulation, and help regulate cortisol levels (stress hormones that can contribute to weight gain). 3. How often should I use an infrared sauna? For detox and relaxation, 2–4 times per week is ideal. Athletes and chronic pain sufferers may benefit from more frequent sessions. 4. Does infrared sauna improve skin health? Absolutely. The deep heat stimulates collagen production, which improves skin tone, reduces wrinkles, and can even help with acne.

Red light Therapy

1. What is red light therapy? Red light therapy uses low-level wavelengths of light to repair cells, boost collagen production, and reduce inflammation, improving skin tone and tissue healing. 2. What do red, blue, yellow, and infrared lights do for the skin? •Red light: Stimulates collagen, reduces wrinkles & inflammation. •Blue light: Kills acne-causing bacteria & reduces breakouts. •Yellow light: Brightens skin and reduces redness. •Infrared light: Penetrates deeply to accelerate healing and cellular repair. 3. Can light therapy help with pain and recovery? Yes. Red and infrared lights increase circulation and cellular energy, helping to reduce pain and speed up recovery from injuries or exercise.

PEMF

1. What does PEMF therapy do for the body? PEMF therapy recharges your cells using gentle electromagnetic pulses, improving cellular repair, blood flow, and pain relief. 2. Can PEMF help with chronic pain and inflammation? Yes. By improving cellular communication, PEMF reduces inflammation and supports faster tissue healing, making it popular for arthritis, sports injuries, and chronic pain. 3. How often should I use PEMF? Most people start with 2–3 sessions per week, then transition to maintenance treatments as needed. 4. Can PEMF help with sleep and stress? Yes. PEMF supports the nervous system, helping the body enter a more relaxed state and promoting deeper, restorative sleep.

BrainTap

1. What is BrainTap and how does it work? BrainTap combines binaural beats, guided meditation, and light therapy to retrain your brain’s response to stress. It promotes relaxation, better sleep, improved focus, and enhanced cognitive performance. 2. Can BrainTap help with emotional eating or stress management? Yes. By calming the nervous system and balancing brainwave patterns, BrainTap reduces stress-related cravings and emotional eating—making it a powerful tool for weight management. 3. How many sessions do I need to see results? Some people notice immediate stress relief, but for lasting brainwave retraining, 3–5 sessions per week are recommended initially.
