The second posting on this blog was for our cryofacial service, before we even opened for business. Since then, I have touted cryotherapy to you for muscle soreness, back pain, arthritis, and even weight control, as well as a number of other conditions. This week, I want to take another look at cryotherapy as a Read more…

Plant-Based Diet for Longevity
Can you rely on a plant-based diet for longevity? That is, can you live longer as a vegetarian? There appears to be reliable evidence that you can, but the picture isn’t simple. A massive study published in 2016 found a clear relationship between avoiding meat and living longer, but it was not without some interesting Read more…

Float Pod for Autism
Can float pod increase the quality of life for a person with autism? Like so many other things about autism, the answer is maybe.

Cryotherapy for Muscle Soreness
Cryotherapy for muscle soreness is well established. Both research literature and practical accounts are abundant. I don’t need to go over all the studies here. But I thought it might be a good idea to discuss the myth that soreness is something you should avoid. There’s a television commercial for Advil that shows people doing Read more…
Photobiomodulation for ADHD
Photobiomodulation (PBM) for ADHD may not even be a thing. It’s not a subject that has received much study. But ADHD isn’t particularly easy to live with, and there might be enough evidence to justify personal investigation of a promising technology. Let’s see. CHADD — “Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder” — says about 10 million Read more…

Float Pod for Anxiety
Let’s not get too clinical about one another’s psychological quirks. Arachnophobia? Sometimes a fear of spiders might just be a fear of spiders. After all, they are kind of scary looking, and sometimes they are even deadly. And why be so quick to identify a fear of heights? Some people simply have a well-founded aversion Read more…
Infrared Sauna for Weight Control
If you spend very much time on the web reading about infrared sauna and weight loss, you will very soon run across a claim that the heat of the sauna “melts” fat cells. Melt fat cells? The image is kind of poetic. But the words are marketing copy. Fat cells don’t melt. They can die, Read more…
