Can Cryotherapy helps reduce high hemoglobin and hematocrit?
Has anyone on the forum been through a Cryotherapy session?
My wife and I recently experienced Cryotherapy for the first time. It was quite an experience and I will let you read the information below at it will explain it better than I could.
One surprising benefit I found afterwards is that I saw a fairly dramatic decrease in my hemoglobin and hematocrit. Two days prior to having the Cryotherapy session my Hemoglobin registered 17.2 and my hematocrit was 51.0%. The day following the Cryotherapy session my hemoglobin registered 16.2 and my hematocrit was 48.0%. It had a similar affect on my wife. Her hemoglobin dropped from 15.3 to 13.8 and her hematocrit dropped from 45.0% to 41.0%.
I have been donating blood for many years to try and keep my hemoglobin and hematocrit in safe ranges and have always had to worry about iron and ferritin levels getting to low. Unlike some, I have never been able to get my H&H to normalize after a period of time on TRT.
Could this be an answer for many on TRT in helping manage their H&H? I don't know the answer but I know the positive impact it had in lowering my H&H back within a healthy range.
Whole Body Cryotherapy is when your body is submerged in sub-zero temperatures (up to -250º degrees F) that stimulate skin sensors, activating a deep central nervous system (CNS) response. This lowers your skin surface temperature to approximately 32 degrees F in 30 seconds. The temperature remains constant throughout the entire session which lasts up to 180 seconds.Can just three minutes change your life?
Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) originated in Japan in 1978 when Dr. Yamaguchi started using freezing treatments of short duration on his patients with excellent results in pain and inflammation. The term “cryotherapy” comes from the Greek cryo (κρύο) meaning cold, and therapy (θεραπεία) meaning cure. Hippocrates prescribed the use of ice and snow to treat inflammation and pain. Today, cryotherapy is used to treat pain, inflammation, sports injury, exercise-induced injury, recovery, delayed onset muscle soreness, mental and psychological health, and weak immune systems.
Cold Temperatures Improve Immunity
When we think of cold temperatures in nature, we assume that cold temperatures cause colds and illness. When temperatures hit 50 degrees F, your blood vessels narrow and reduce blood flow near the body’s surface. However, shivering caused by the cold weather or oscillatory muscular activity happens when your core body temperature drops about one degree below its normal temperature around 98.6 degrees F. When left too long in this condition, our body becomes more vulnerable to colds, and our immune system significantly weakens.
