Podcast interview (Ben Greenfield with Maria Ensabella and colleagues from London Kryo) comparing whole-body cryotherapy (cryocabin) to cold-water immersion (CWI). Key claims in this chunk: cryotherapy exposures commonly cited at −110°C to −130°C for ~2–3 minutes; skin-temperature drop of ~15°C is used as an internal threshold to trigger the sympathetic vasoconstrictive response and the claimed benefits; cryotherapy is positioned as more anti‑inflammatory and recovery‑focused while CWI is framed as accessible resilience/immune training; cumulative effects are reported after ~8–10 cryo sessions; safety practices (trained attendant, safety interlocks, automatic door) and device differences (nitrogen-based vs electric) are discussed.
