Hot, cold, rest, repeat. That is the order of operations when you visit a Nordic style spa. Hydrotherapy is not a new concept in today's world and Alaska is now home to its very first Nordic spa. One of your hosts recently took a visit to this spa for his wife's birthday and as a result, the inspiration for this episode was born. Join us as we delve into the human history of spas highlighting the benefits of visiting a Nordic style set up. When did spas originate in America? What is the benefit of cold water immersion? And who wants to sponsor our next visit to the spa?! It's the episode you should listen to in the sauna!
