How does CWI increase metabolism?Review of Google articles on CWIHow much does metabolic rate increase?Where did the number 350% come from?What is the realistic rate of calories being burned?When is CWI useful?This podcast is brought to you by the Physiologic Flexibility Certification course. In the course, I talk about the body's homeostatic regulators and how you can train them. The benefit is enhanced recovery and greater robustness. We cover breathing techniques, CWI, sauna, HIIT, diet, and more. The course is open for enrollment now through April 11, 2022.ReferencesGreenwood, A., & Gillette, C. (2017).
