Dr. Poe Points to Ponder

Hydrate

  • According to the Mayo Clinic, 75% of Americans face chronic hydration. At Cryo and Contour, we have the Kangen water available for our clients, so bring your water bottle and fill up. NEW at Cryo and Contour, starting April 15, we are offering IV Fluid Hydration with Nurse Pherris.

Invest in Your Mental Health

  • Per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, at least one in five women in the United States has had a mental illness at some point including depression and anxiety. At Cryo and Contour, we work with you to develop wellness plans that are life-changing and not a temporary shift.

Get Some Vitamin D

  • Vitamin D helps regulate stress by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and lowering cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone. April usually includes the sun showing itself in the promise of May flowers, so take 10 minutes outside during the day to help reduce stress and lower your cortisol.

Prioritize Yourself to Feel Good

  • Feeling good can only begin when you take time to prioritize yourself by doing things that bring you joy.
  • For example, a few minutes in our Cryo tank will reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, speed muscle recovery, decreases joint inflammation and lowers pain. For some it can be a stress reliever and help to improve sleep quality and boost your mood.

Get Your Protein

  • Protein is a vital macronutrient that builds and repairs tissues, strengthens muscles and bones, boosts metabolism, and aids in weight management by increasing satiety. With the recent wave of appetite suppressant medication on the market, not eating is NOT the answer. Protein is a key ingredient even if you are taking an appetite suppressant.
