Easy at-home contrast therapy.

INSIGHT (what we need)

We were not meant to tame our thermoregulation with comfort settings.

Little did we realize the luxuries of indoor heating in the winter and blasting aircon in the summer was so detrimental to our health. The same way we’ve outsourced our circadian rhythm to artificial light sources, we’ve also done with thermoregulation and comfort settings. These basic modern amenities are decreasing our temperature tolerance thresholds and making our systems…well…lazy and dumb!

In comes the fitness industry to save the day with its extreme hot/cold exposure options to deliberately induce short-term sweating and shivering to jumpstart our sluggish responses. Contrast therapy is extremely beneficial to our systems – in effect ‘waking up’ our regulatory processes to handle wider deltas in temperature to affect various metabolic pathways. Our bodies were designed to ‘weather the storms’ so-to-speak by turning on the right mechanisms for homeostasis. Sweating is the body’s response to self-cooling and shivering is a way to rapidly tense and release muscle contraction to warm core body temperature. 

Wim Hof aficionados can now definitively say that long-term deliberate cold-induced stress response is scientifically proven to reinforce our immunity and turn on healing pathways in the body. If applying these techniques to bulletproof your system, Huberman recommends >5min cold therapy exposure in the morning to release adrenaline and dopamine to get moving, accompanied by several sauna sessions towards the latter part of the day for down regulation and toxin release. These behaviors are now becoming a regular supplement to most health routines and will likely start showing up in clinical and therapeutic settings due to their evidence-based efficacy. 

The innovations for contrast therapy options at home have been increasing to meet this contrast craze of the past decade: so that you no longer have to lug bags of ice or dish out for expensive cryotherapy treatments.

INSPIRATION (what we want)

Plunge All-In: luxury cooling tub with an advanced built-in chilling system to get temperatures down to 37 F (or 2-3 C).

• No ice hassles: on demand water that cools 30% faster than other tubs on the market. 

• Remote control from your smartphone to dial down temps, track your sessions and celebrate milestones.

• Advanced filtration system that recycles water every 10 minutes with an ozone sanitation and an easy-change 20-micron filter. 

• Zero set-up required: just plug it into a regular home outlet.

• Beautiful sleek design elevating the bathing experience into contrast therapy equipment.

INNOVATION (what we wish for)

TempTube:  slender free standing cooling tubes that create contrast temperatures in your living space to keep your body adaptive. 

Instead of cooling your entire home as a waste of energy, or filling big tubs to use for only a short time: designate extreme cooling zones at home that you can use to cool smaller spaces and use for contrast therapy on demand.

• Tube is placed in the corner of a room with the hinge-side facing away from the corner. Open tube towards the corner where you stand to be exposed to extreme low temperatures for 2-3 minute cold exposure. 

• For small space cooling, close the tube and turn on the silent fans that waft cold air up and around the room you’re residing in for environmental cooling. 

• Less expensive than air conditioning units, these cooling tubes can also move around a lived environment for zonal cooling instead of whole space cooling.

• Lower your electricity bill, HVAC AND environmental footprint. 

• Easy plug-in unit that uses a blast chilling technology similar to a refrigerator without the freon.

• Unit will turn off once the room environment reaches a desired range (ie. 23 degrees C) and turn back on when it goes too far above (ie. 30 degrees C). 

• Turn on first thing in the morning as you would your coffee maker and use as cold exposure therapy to start your day.
