In this episode of Connecting the Dots, Jennifer Halsall sits down with Jon Nasta (Cryotech Nordics) to unpack one of the fastest-growing areas in health, fitness, and longevity: recovery.

From elite sport to everyday consumers, recovery is shifting from a “nice to have” to a structured, science-backed system. Jon shares why order matters, how Cryotech’s R&R (Restore & Recharge) concept works, and why recovery may be the missing link between fitness, performance, and longevity.
