UPDATE:  We’ve had a number of questions about the Cool Fat Burner and any new studies we’re doing…

1) The IMMUNE SYSTEM: “Can the Cool Fat Burner & Gut Buster increase immune system markers?”

This was going to start in the late fall, do initial blood work on various markers tied to the immune system in NON cold adapted individuals, have the subjects use the CFB 3X week for several months, (as well as practice dressing sparsely when outside) then do another round of bloodtests in early spring; one test would be under normal conditions, the other post Cool Fat Burner session. We were of course expecting to see more pronounced levels of various immune markers in the “after” cold-adapted blood test results.

2) BLOOD GLUCOSE RESPONSE:  “Can the Cool Fat Burner & Gut Buster lower blood glucose levels after a meal?”

This experiment was being conducted at a top medical college hospital, was in the works for years, but kept getting delayed. Looked like it was being finalized at long last.

3) MEDITATIVE STATES: “Can the Cool Fat Burner & Gut Buster induce a euphoric state of awareness?  What effects does this have on endorphins?”

Anyone who’s used the CFB + Gut Buster at higher intensities can attest to the mental and emotional effects it can induce, often moving into an almost meditative blissful state of consciousness. We finally found a lab specialized in monitoring mental and emotional states, have the subjects fill out questionnaires and so on, as well as do blood work testing for endorphins and related blood markers as a “before & after” comparison.

And then COVID hit and put everything on hold.

We were hopeful of what results we’d see; we’d already done rudimentary testing on the CFB with blood glucose levels, we’ve received loads of feedback from customers on describing what sounds like enhanced immune health, and many of our personal experiences and feedback are now backed by the peer reviewed literature in the field of cold exposure.  For example this study showing a 250% in dopamine levels after a cold plunge, lending credence to the experience many CFB users experience involving elevated moods during and after a session.

Of course covid put all of those studies on standby, and the locations have been backed up ever since. Hopefully we can get these experiments get back underway soon!
