Enhancing recovery from acute injury, EIMD, and DOMS is a major goal of athletes and coaches. It is implied that since cryotherapy reduces the inflammatory response, it therefore promotes recovery. However, evidence on the effectiveness of cryotherapy as a valid recovery modality following intense training and competition is inconsistent. In fact, there is significant evidence demonstrating that ice therapy delays the body’s natural response to injury, decreases anabolic hormones, and can actually decrease performance.

🥶Cold water immersion (CWI) is becoming increasingly popular. You can even say it has a somewhat cult following. In this day in age, it’s really easy to jump on a bandwagon blindly. Unquestionably take others advice or recommendations without really understanding the underlying mechanisms, validity, or how it applies to you in your situation. Especially in the health and wellness space where everyone’s an “expert.” There is so much information readily available it can be difficult to know what’s accurate and what’s just, popular. Context is everything. So, what is actually occurring here? Are there real physiological benefits or is it all a placebo? Is timing important? Let’s dive into that tub of ice-cold water and see what floats and what sinks. Check out the link in my bio to learn and subscribe!

We don’t often associate hot and cold with sleep, but it is a critical factor to consider since insomnia has been linked to temperature. Just as the light-dark cycle triggers when we go to sleep, temperature is also synchronized with our circadian rhythm. Temperature influences everything from how quickly you fall sleep, how well you sleep, and when you wake up. Understanding how your physiology and external environment affect your sleep can help you adopt sleep habits to optimize your performance.

How is your external environment affecting your internal environment? The importance of sunlight can’t be understated. Daily sunlight is the most reliable, repeating signal that we have to synchronize our circadian rhythm, regulate our sleep, and influence our biology.
