Whole Body Cryotherapy isn’t just a wellness trend. It’s a proven, evidence-backed tool for men who want to recover faster, feel better and perform at a higher level.

With temperatures dropping as low as −150°-166°F for just a few minutes, Cryotherapy activates the body’s natural systems in powerful ways that impact recovery, metabolic health, hormones and even brain function.

Faster Recovery & Reduced Inflammation

If you’re pushing yourself in the gym or on the field, Cryotherapy can help you bounce back quicker. Research shows that one three-minute session can lower blood lactate levels, which helps reduce muscle soreness after intense workouts.¹ Regular Cryotherapy also activates the body’s antioxidant defenses, reducing inflammation, supporting tissue repair and accelerating the recovery process. 

And while performance metrics like strength or endurance may take time to shift, the immediate results are clear: less pain, less inflammation and a quicker return to peak condition.²

Better Body Composition & Metabolic Health

Men aiming to lose weight, reduce visceral fat or manage blood sugar levels can benefit from Cryotherapy as well. Research from RestoreLabs and independent studies demonstrates that Cryotherapy stimulates the release of myokines, muscle-based signaling proteins that promote fat oxidation and improved glucose metabolism.

In one six-week study, men who combined their workouts with twice-weekly Cryotherapy sessions saw significantly greater reductions in body fat than those who exercised alone. ³ That means more definition, better metabolic control and more momentum toward your fitness goals. 

Hormonal Balance & Stress Control

Hormones like testosterone and cortisol play a critical role in how you feel, train and recover. Cryotherapy naturally boosts the testosterone-to-cortisol ratio, which helps shift the body into an anabolic, muscle-building, and stress-resilient state. ⁴ This hormonal shift supports energy, drive and physical performance, all without medications or synthetic interventions.

Improved Cognitive Clarity & Mental Focus

There’s a strong connection between inflammation and mental fog, especially in high-performing men who deal with stress and physical fatigue. Cryotherapy combats neuroinflammation and improves cerebral blood flow, helping you feel sharper, more focused and mentally recharged.5 Whether you’re in the boardroom or the weight room, that edge matters.

What to Expect

A typical Cryotherapy session lasts just 2–3 minutes. Step into a chamber cooled to subzero temperatures and allow your body to respond naturally. Most men feel energized immediately afterward, like a reset button for the nervous system. For best results, schedule at least 2–3 sessions per week and incorporate Cryotherapy into your overall fitness and recovery plan.
