A little bit of hypoxia, a little bit of blood flow.

And they can do it for 20 or 40 or 60 minutes or however long you want.

It's basically simulated exercise.

#101 Dr. Andy Galpin: The Optimal Diet, Supplement, & Recovery Protocol for Peak Performance

A little bit of blood, a little bit low, a little bit back.

FoundMyFitness
#101 Dr. Andy Galpin: The Optimal Diet, Supplement, & Recovery Protocol for Peak Performance

So blood flow, yes.

You will actually see really compelling evidence on water immersion.

FoundMyFitness

Not only cold water.

FoundMyFitness
#101 Dr. Andy Galpin: The Optimal Diet, Supplement, & Recovery Protocol for Peak Performance

I simply mean water immersion.

FoundMyFitness
#101 Dr. Andy Galpin: The Optimal Diet, Supplement, & Recovery Protocol for Peak Performance

Yeah.

FoundMyFitness
#101 Dr. Andy Galpin: The Optimal Diet, Supplement, & Recovery Protocol for Peak Performance

Totally.

But it's the orthostatic pressure that comes with being in fluid that will do the same thing.

It's great for a thousand things.

But the water itself is playing a little bit of a magic role.

#101 Dr. Andy Galpin: The Optimal Diet, Supplement, & Recovery Protocol for Peak Performance

And we know this because there have been trials where we've actually controlled for temperature and you still get those benefits of just being in that fluid environment.

So if you can do that, you can, gravity changes in the equation, things can move in and out of tissue.

And there's actually pressure that comes from being in the water.

FoundMyFitness
#101 Dr. Andy Galpin: The Optimal Diet, Supplement, & Recovery Protocol for Peak Performance

It's a low level pressure that smashes up against your tissue.

Now, if you want to change temperature and you get some of those other benefits, that's great too.
