Without salt, some water gets absorbed but a lot of it doesn’t.” “Your brain takes up 20% of your oxygen at all times so it’s a hugely metabolic organ.” “If you’ve been cognitively on all day and then you go directly to workout at the gym, that’s a huge stress on your body.” “After you come out of the cold, you get this reflex vasodilation, you get all this new blood going to your periphery. As a result of that, you feel and get this blood flow to your tissues that you may not have been getting before, especially areas that had been inflamed, areas that have been injured, areas that have been hurting like joints.” “The fantastic thing about cold is that it’s a fantastic way to train your fear response because the first 30 seconds you feel like you’re going to die. Your body is doing everything it possibly can to tell you to get the F out of the water or out of the cold. But if you can go past that, and you can, that’s when your body gets to this blissful state of peace.” “For people who can’t exercise because they have arthritis or they have other joint or mobility issues, you can use a high heat sauna and see significant benefit in that capacity.” “High heat sauna is exercise, infrared is more recovery.”Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Call in to the podcast and have your comment or question answered on air: (801) 871-5291Connect with Dr. Scott Sherr: Integrative HBOT WebsiteTroscriptionsDr. Scott Sherr InstagramSay hi to the AGEIST team!
