Every claim.
Every citation.
The protocols on this site aren't built on vibes. Every modality, every dose, every sequencing decision is drawn from peer-reviewed research. The full citation index — including the studies behind contrast therapy, HRV measurement, hyperbaric oxygen, pneumatic compression, and cold-water immersion — lives here.
We're compiling it. The version below covers the citations referenced in the current protocol set.
A protocol is a prescription, not a menu.
Sequence, not stack
A protocol is several modalities done in a specific order, dose, and timing. The order matters: cold before heavy strength work can blunt adaptation; the same cold after conditioning can help. We sequence for the outcome you want.
Evidence over fashion
Every modality here has a published evidence base behind it — we read the trials before we add the kit. Where the research is strong we say so; where it is promising-but-modest, we say that too.
Honest about limits
Some of what we offer is well-supported; some is supported mainly by observational data and framed as wellness, not treatment. Every claim on the site traces back to a citation in the index below.

Mild HBOT (1.3-1.5 ATA) improves tissue oxygenation and reduces inflammation.
View Restore →PBM at 660 nm + 850 nm is training-safe and supports mitochondrial function.
View Plunge + Glow →Intermittent pneumatic compression - perceived recovery improvement within 2 hours.
View Flush →Intermittent pneumatic compression - perceived recovery improvement within 2 hours.
View Renew →Short cold (<3 min) preserves the norepinephrine response without blunting training adaptation.
View Plunge + Glow →Short cold (<3 min) preserves the norepinephrine response without blunting training adaptation.
View Recharge →Short closing cold immersion supports vagal reset without blunting the HBOT response.
View Restore →Post-CWI HRV: RMSSD SMD +0.61. Cold immersion produces a measurable vagal-tone rebound.
View Contrast →Full cold dose post-training: vagal tone restoration, IL-6 / TNF-alpha reduction.
View Renew →Post-CWI HRV: RMSSD SMD +0.61. Cold immersion produces a measurable vagal-tone rebound.
