What happens if you take an ice bath each day for 30 consecutive days?
Rob Carlin, the Managing Director of Superior Wellness, will take part in a study for 30 days to evaluate the benefits of using Chill Tubs in his daily routine.
A chill tub has many benefits for the body, including; decreasing muscle soreness and improving recovery times, decreasing inflammation, increasing circulation, etc.
TransformNow is working with Chill Tubs in partnership to determine what happens to the body after 30 days of using an ice bath daily before Rob’s daily exercise.
Imran Khan is the founder of TransformNow. Launched in 2013, he has more than 20 years experience in both the academic and practical health sectors. He supports this study. They are based nationwide and proud to have received the UK Fitness Awards for 2019 in Science and Innovation.
Rob visited Dr Imran Khan in Birmingham to have his body measured.
- Inflammation levels: C-Reactive protein (CRP), Erythrocyte Sedimentation rate (ESR) & Interleukin-6(IL-6).
- Testosterone levels: Total testosterone test and free Testosterone test
- Additional markers: Cortisol levels, Complete blood count (CBC), Blood Urea Nitrate (BUN) & Creatinine (Liver Function Tests & Lipid Profile),
- Subjective Markers: Energy, Sleep and Mood
- Body Fat Percentage
- Expiration Lung Volume Test
- Advanced Epigenetic Test
- Blood Pressure Test
- ECG
Rob Carlin stated: “I wanted to see the effects of daily ice baths on my health and body before I started this study. I will track this using blood tests and body fat. This will allow me to understand if taking ice baths makes me healthier. I’ll also share my findings with other people who are interested.
Rob’s expectations were clear before the study began: “At the beginning, I expect the ice baths to be uncomfortable and difficult but I am hopeful that my body will become accustomed to them with time. I expect to see improvement in my health markers like decreased inflammation and higher testosterone levels. I hope to feel better with more energy and better mood.
I plan to take an ice bath every day. This will be an important part of my daily regimen to become healthier and stronger.
Rob will be assessed by Dr Imran again after 30 days to determine if the Chill Tubs have had any impact on his body level.
Imran Khan: “It’s great to work with Rob and see the effects of an ice bath on his body if he uses it daily for 30 days.”
I am very excited to see results. TransformNow offers a variety of assessments, and can tailor therapy, nutrition and exercise plans to suit your needs.
