Why Cold Plunge?

Cold water immersion creates an immediate physiological response to cold exposure. People commonly incorporate cold plunging into their routines to:

  • Trigger a Neurochemical Boost: Submerging in cold water causes a large release of adrenaline and noradrenaline, which stimulate the locus coeruleus in the brain and trigger a sustained spike in dopamine (lasting for hours) to enhance focus, alertness, and mood.

  • Build Mental Resilience and Grit: Forcing yourself into uncomfortably cold water engages top-down control from the prefrontal cortex, helping you practice staying calm under acute physical stress.

  • Stimulate Metabolism & Brown Fat: Regular cold exposure stimulates the recruitment and activation of brown adipose tissue (brown fat), which burns calories to generate heat and improves metabolic and blood sugar regulation.

  • Speed Up Recovery: It has been shown to help reduce inflammation and aid physical recovery.

The Everwell Experience

Our private suite features an infrared sauna, cold plunge, and shower for a personalized wellness experience. Enjoy a private session or reserve with a friend or partner. Choose from 40- or 60-minute sessions and customize your visit by alternating between sauna, rinse, and cold plunge.

  • Step into our calm and tranquil infrared sauna to reset and recharge. Connect to bluetooth to listen to music or the podcast of your choice or unplug as you unwind.

  • Immerse in the cold plunge. It is recommended to plunge for 2-3 minutes at a time.

  • Repeat this process 2-3 times, recommended to end on cold.

  • To harness the power of contrast therapy, the Soberg Principal recommends spending approximately 11 minutes per week in the cold and 57 minutes in heat. This duration is enough to stimulate your body's adaptive responses without subjecting yourself to prolonged discomfort. 

    The infrared warmth of the sauna not only promotes relaxation but also complements the effects of cold therapy. 

    While you can certainly do more in the cold, it's worth noting that the benefits after the recommended timing are minimal. As with cold exposure, you can extend your time, but the recommended timing balances efficacy and comfort.
