Cold therapy isn’t just for elite athletes plunging into ice baths after a championship game — it’s quickly becoming a mainstream recovery and fat-burning method. Backed by science and adopted by everyone from biohackers to weekend warriors, cold immersion and cryotherapy are powerful tools for fat loss, healing, and mental performance.
Cold therapy (also known as cryotherapy) involves exposing the body to low temperatures to trigger powerful physiological responses:
Whole-body cryotherapy chambers: air temperatures as low as -166°F (-110°C).
Cold plunge tubs: water immersion between 39–59°F (4–15°C).
Localized cold packs: targeted recovery for sore muscles and joints.
At Biohaxys, our focus is premium cold immersion tubs like the TheraFrost Ultimate Plunge, designed for home, gym, and professional recovery lounges.
One of the most exciting effects of cold exposure is the activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT):
BAT burns calories through thermogenesis to keep your body warm.
Unlike white fat, which stores energy, BAT consumes energy.
Studies suggest regular cold exposure may increase resting calorie burn, supporting fat loss.
In short: cold therapy not only accelerates recovery — it can also help you stay leaner.
Reduced Inflammation: Constricts blood vessels, lowering swelling and speeding up repair.
Faster Muscle Recovery: Flushes metabolic waste so you can train again sooner.
Joint & Tendon Relief: Helps with stiffness, arthritis, and overuse injuries.
Your body recovers faster, with less soreness and fewer setbacks.
Cold immersion is a mental workout as much as a physical one.
Boosts norepinephrine (linked to alertness, focus, and mood).
Builds mental toughness by training you to remain calm under stress.
Leaves many practitioners feeling “wired but calm” for hours afterward.
This mental edge is why so many entrepreneurs, athletes, and biohackers have added plunges into their daily routines.
Cryotherapy chambers deliver fast, intense exposure in 2–3 minutes.
Cold plunges allow longer immersion, better for inflammation control and mental resilience.
Some high-end recovery lounges combine both — but for home use, a cold plunge tub is the most versatile and cost-effective option.
Start small: Begin in the shower with a 30–60 second cold rinse at the end.
Move to the tub: Once comfortable, graduate to cold water immersion in a bathtub, eventually adding ice.
Use a plunge tub: For consistency, step up to a cold plunge tub like the TheraFrost Ultimate Plunge.
Timing: Start with 1–2 minutes at 50–55°F.
Progress: Build gradually to 3–5 minutes at lower temperatures.
Contrast therapy: Pair with infrared sauna sessions to maximize circulation and recovery.
Consistency: Aim for 3–5 sessions per week for the best results.
