Our Approach
"Within a few days of a daily cold exposure practice (shower, dip, float, swim, etc), most people start to feel better. Within a few months, those with more complex health ailments like migraines, chronic pain and various mental health issues could see a significant difference in their condition. This directly impacts their well-being and their quality of life, especially when combined with an inflammation-fighting diet for a holistic approach - and a few other energy tools."
It's not always that easy to start, and that's why we're here to guide you!
The Coolest Journey is centered on a daily cold water immersion practice plus a top 10 allergen-free whole foods plant-based diet. This journey is meant to be complementary to your medical plan, it is not meant to replace it - always consult with your medical team before signing up for any of our programs. This unique approach which Hélène, AKA The Cool AF Vegan, stumbled upon proved to be miraculous to heal her migraines and better manage her chronic pain, post-concussion symptoms and mental health - and it could do the same for you, as it has already for a few hundred people.
