Curious if a simple capsule can mimic the cellular impact of a cold plunge? Franco Cavaleri unveils the science behind this intriguing question.
Biological Response to Cold
Franco delves into the biological activity triggered by cold immersion, explaining the role of heat shock proteins and cold shock proteins. These proteins, activated in response to extreme temperature changes, enhance metabolism, brain function, attention, and prepare the body for stress.
The Cold Plunge Advantage
Highlighting the benefits, Cavaleri connects the dots between cold plunge and coping mechanisms. Just like physical exercise induces recovery, a post-activity cold plunge activates cold shock proteins and sirtuin proteins, contributing to restoration and recovery.
Lab Insights
Franco provides a glimpse into the laboratory, where the team studies these proteins and explores ways to enhance their activation. Compounds like Thermobutyrateâ„¢, ThermoGallateâ„¢, and Glyviaâ„¢ play a role in the restoration, recovery, appetite control, and focus associated with cold shock protein activation.
Mental Focus for Athletes
Addressing athletes, Cavaleri challenges the traditional belief that cold plunges before training may stiffen muscles. Instead, he advocates for post-training cold plunges, promoting mental focus, conditioning, and stamina crucial for peak performance in sports.
"Thermobutyrateâ„¢ and ThermoGallateâ„¢ activate proteins similar to cold shock protein and heat shock protein, helping you cope with stress, stay focused, and in the game."
