More about our services and how honoring the menstrual cycle phases with wellness can support your health.

​

Floating increases the magnesium in the body through transdermal absorption (through the skin). Most Americans are deficient in magnesium which is critical for over 300 metabolic reactions in the body, including muscle and nerve health. Float as often as you can to increase magnesium and support your metabolism and healing. (All cycle days are safe.)

 

Cold Plunge can reduce inflammation, improve immune function, burn fat, and increase the release of dopamine.  Timing it to your menstrual cycle is critical. Cold Plunge provides the most benefit when progesterone levels are lower (this is because when progesterone is surging, cortisol bursts decrease progesterone production). (Cycle days 1-10 and 16-19 are best.)

 

Red Light Therapy stimulates mitochondria (mitochondria have receptors for red light wavelengths on their membranes).  Naturally get red light when the sun is rising and setting or use our IR/RED Sauna to biohack this experience. Research has shown that red light increases testosterone, if you struggle during the manifestation phase of your cycle adding red light may help. Red light can also help with melatonin production and reset your circadian rhythm, giving you a better night’s sleep. (All cycle days are safe, maximal benefits during cycle days 11-15.)

 

Infrared Sauna (IR sauna) heats up your cells from the inside. This allows you to relax and prime your parasympathetic nervous system (rest/digest) which is great for the nurture phase of your cycle. IR sauna is great anytime, it is especially beneficial during the nurture phase. (All cycle days are safe, maximal benefits during cycle days 20-30.)

 

Halotherapy is a form of inhalation salt therapy to maximize lung function, reduce stress, and improve your wellness focus. This therapy can be used daily to promote mindfulness and relaxation. Halotherapy is safe to use at any cycle phase, this is especially beneficial for reducing cortisol, days 20-30.)

Wellness Protocols for People Regulated by Testosterone

Testosterone as the primary regulatory hormone does not fluctuate during the month and therefore does not require the fine tuning required by estrogen and progesterone regulated people.

Everyday 

Listen to your body and make adjustments to fit your lifestyle.

Fasting Protocol: 13-72 hours

​

Our Services:

  • Float

  • Infrared/RED Sauna (short session or long session)

  • Halotherapy (HALO)

  • NOTE: If you are trying to conceive, we do NOT recommend IR/RED sauna as this increases testicular temperature and may reduce sperm production.  Float and Halotherapy are safe.
