Reykjavík · Supervised cold exposure
Cold exposure
with a cardiologist
in the room,
not a camera.
A Reykjavík clinic running medically supervised cold-exposure programs for inflammation and mood — screened, written down to the degree, and tracked on a dashboard. None of the influencer chest-beating.
Not a dare
Not the cold, but the measurement. We treat cold as a clinical tool — a temperature, a timer, a supervisor on the deck — and we record what it does to your body so the benefit is something you can read on a chart rather than feel in a video.
How it works
- 01
Screen first
A health questionnaire and a cardiac screen with our partnering cardiologist. No clearance, no water.
- 02
Adapt over eight weeks
Written temperatures and durations, a supervisor on the deck for every session. Nothing improvised.
- 03
Watch the numbers move
Resting heart rate, HRV, and perceived recovery, plotted on your own dashboard, week by week.

The evidence, briefly
What the studies actually say — including where they are thin.
Your adaptation data
Your trend line,
not a testimonial.
Resting heart rate, HRV, perceived recovery — you watch your own numbers move, week by week.

“I came for the inflammation claims and stayed for the screening. Nobody had ever checked my heart before letting me near cold water.”
“No chest-beating, no leaderboard. Just a temperature, a timer, and a supervisor watching my response.”
“They told me plainly which weeks my numbers stalled, and why that was fine. It felt like a clinic, not a class.”
