Cold thermogenesis can radically enhance insulin sensitivity, causing nutrients to be pulled into muscles, fat to be burned by BAT, reducing systemic inflammation, reducing related diseases, and allowing for nutrient partitioning and glycogen supercompensation!
When you eat, the food is digested into nutrients: proteins to amino acids, carbs to glucose (”blood sugar”), fats to free fatty acids, as well as vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and so on, all floating through your bloodstream.
Insulin is released by the pancreas. Insulin causes nutrients to be transported into various bodily tissues. The particular nutrients and the target tissue as well as your physical state, often determines how those nutrients are used; building muscle, storing fat, or even causing inflammation and disease.
Insulin resistance is the condition where your bodily cells will not respond to insulin. You’re “resistant” to it’s function of transporting nutrients, especially glucose, into your cells. This results in chronically high blood glucose levels, obesity, and systemic inflammation. It is also a contributing factor in getting Type-2 diabetes, heart disease, and the metabolic disorders effecting 2/3 of all Americans. Some theorize that insulin resistance and chronically high blood glucose is a causative factor in dementia-related disorders such as Alzheimer’s, and may even cause (or accelerate) certain types of cancer!
Cold thermogenesis with the Cool Fat Burner can help overcome insulin resistance, forcing nutrients into your muscles. This can obviously help build muscle, enhancing strength, size, endurance, and recovery. Brown fat will also burn off glucose and free fatty acids.
These are examples of being highly sensitive and responsive to insulin. The food eaten — even junk food — is burned up and used as fuel,
or used as building blocks to build muscle and healthy tissue, instead of being stored as fat or floating around the body causing inflammation and disease.
Cold stress amplifies insulin sensitivity, directing nutrients away from fat tissue, instead shuttling them into muscle.
When strategically used, the Cool Fat Burner can help overfill your muscles with glycogen, increasing muscular fullness, function, and repair.
Example: We heard from a CFB user that reported they nearly passed out during a session. Upon further inquiry, we discovered they had a family history of diabetes, that they had a “fatty liver,” and that they were 100lbs over weight!
That’s why they nearly passed out! The Cool Fat Burner worked! It increased their insulin sensitivity — something they were not used to — and it burned off their blood glucose as though they did a vigorous exercise session (but without the exercise). Interestingly, this was only at ‘Moderate’ intensity, and only a 30 minute session.
