Did you know cold plunging can actually change the type of fat in your body? 🧊 White fat just sits there. Brown fat burns calories at rest, but many of us don't have very much of it. Cold exposure helps your body turn white fat into brown fat, and can help you burn more calories at rest and experience better metabolic health.

Send us a message to learn more about the science behind cold plunging and contrast therapy.

One thing you may not know about me: I used to HATE being cold. After growing up in Michigan, I couldn't fathom willingly jumping into a cold body of water... Until I learned some interesting new research about contrast therapy. Now, I rarely start a day without a cold plunge + sauna session.

Watch my latest video where I talk about what changed for me, and the science on how it works:

For the longest time, I've avoided being cold whenever I possibly can (growing up in Michigan will do that to you 😅). Then I came across Suzanne Søberg's research on contrast therapy on the Huberman Lab podcast. The science behind why it works is fascinating, and finally convinced me to give contrast therapy a try. Now, I start almost every day with a cold plunge and sauna for better mental clarity, metabolism, and energy. ❄️🔥

One thing you may not know about me: I grew up in Michigan and spent most of my life dreading the cold. The idea of willingly sitting in cold water would have seemed completely out of character. But after coming across some fascinating research on contrast therapy, I decided to try it... and I haven't looked back.

Now, I rarely start a day without a cold plunge and sauna session, and the difference in my energy, focus, and overall wellbeing is something I can't unfeel.

I've wanted to make this accessible to more of you, and now we can. Morning appointments are available starting at 7am Monday through Friday. If you've been curious but not sure where to start, click the link in our bio to book a session or send us a message and we'll walk you through it next time you're in.

We said what we said. 😂

Hormone changes are normal. Dryness, irritation, and discomfort don’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. They just mean your body is changing.

The good news? There are safe, evidence-based ways to support your tissues and keep things comfortable and healthy.

Consider this your Valentine’s reminder that your health matters too, and that we see you 🖤

There’s something really special about the moments that happen during an appointment. The conversations, the honesty, the laughter, sometimes even the tears.

That kind of trust isn’t rushed, and it isn’t transactional.
It’s built over time.

And we’re incredibly grateful for it.

Functional medicine gets misunderstood a lot.

Instead of piling on the supplements or writing prescriptions to stop your symptoms, it’s about asking better questions, running the right labs, and understanding the root cause of your health concerns. Then supporting your healing thoughtfully with a plan that is built just for you.

We sat down with Jen to talk about her experience as a Wellness for Life patient. She shared what it was like to walk into a clinic where the team truly takes the time to get to know you, and why that level of care and connection is so rare (and so needed).
