Support your weight loss journey with a non-invasive technique that may help speed up your metabolism.
Struggling to shed the pounds despite a healthy diet & exercise?
Whether you want to drop a clothes size or undergo a total transformation, it can be challenging to reach your target weight. Fortunately, there are safe, natural and accessible options available to help you get in shape. Cryotherapy for weight loss uses advanced technology and non-toxic nitrogen vapour to rapidly reduce skin temperature. This chill elicits a natural healing response that can ultimately accelerate your metabolism and burn calories.
As Newcastle’s premier health and wellbeing facility, Chiropractic Plus offers whole-body cryotherapy for weight loss in Newcastle, NSW. Our state-of-the-art cryo sauna is the fastest and safest way to experience this approach. Get in touch to learn how cryotherapy may be able to support your weight loss goals when paired with a healthy diet and exercise regime.
How does cryotherapy for weight loss work?
Cryotherapy involves exposing the top layers of your skin to air vapour cooled to temperatures below -130°C for two to three minutes.
This brief, intense chill activates thermoreceptors, which signal to the brain that you are freezing and in turn trigger a protective response. To generate heat, blood flows towards the body’s core and stimulates your metabolism. This thermogenesis burns fat for energy. Next, the blood, now richer in oxygen and carrying newly released neurotransmitters, returns to the extremities – and may continue to accelerate your metabolism along the way. For optimal results, we recommend combining cryotherapy for weight loss with a healthy diet & exercise.
Losing weight with cryotherapy
The benefits of cryotherapy for weight loss act both during the session and in the days following.
Discover its potential advantages with Chiropractic Plus.
Burn calories
Low temperatures, like those in a cryo sauna, are believed to rev up brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity. Following cryotherapy, your body needs to expend more effort to restore its usual core temperature. That includes burning more calories to convert energy into heat¹ – a benefit that may result in weight loss.
Boost metabolism
Whole-body cryotherapy can help to speed up fat burn. In a cryotherapy session, your body ramps up its metabolism to raise your body temperature. Afterwards, this heightened metabolism continues to take effect, potentially aiding in weight loss when paired with a healthy diet and exercise plan. Exposure to cold temperatures during whole-body cryotherapy can also impact hormones that regulate your metabolism, like insulin. Plus, it can help to reduce inflammation, which may be linked to obesity².
Improve sleep
Sleep plays a role in weight loss. During sleep, your body enters a state of rest that helps to regenerate cells, strengthen your immune system & burn fat. By oxygenating the blood & releasing endorphins, cryotherapy aids in calming both the mind and body. This fosters deeper sleep so that processes can take place.

-
Does cryotherapy help with weight loss?
There is research to suggest that whole-body cryotherapy can help those struggling with obesity to lose weight. In one study, participants who underwent 10 two-minute cryo sessions at -166°C for two weeks – in addition to a strict diet and exercise regimen – slimmed their waistline by an average of 5.6%. Meanwhile, the placebo therapy group only reported an average weight loss of 1.4%.

-
How many calories does cryotherapy burn?
The exact number of calories that cryotherapy burns varies from person to person. That said, research suggests that one three-minute whole-body cryotherapy session may be able to burn 2,000 to 3,000 kilojoules (kJ) of energy, which translates to about 500-800 calories – roughly the same amount burned by a 45-minute jog.
-
How long does each cryotherapy session take?
A cryotherapy session lasts up to 3 minutes, but this duration can be tailored to your comfort and objectives.
-
How many cryotherapy sessions for weight loss do I need?
The number of cryotherapy sessions needed to help you lose weight depends on your physical needs and goals. As benefits tend to be cumulative, ongoing sessions are usually recommended to reach the desired result.
Cryotherapy should always be used in combination with other weight loss tactics, such as a nutritious diet and frequent exercise.
-
How often should I do cryotherapy for weight loss?
To support weight loss through cryotherapy, you should generally attend two to three sessions per week. This schedule allows your body to gradually get used to the cold while helping to keep your metabolism stimulated.
Always combine cryotherapy for weight loss with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. It’s also important to pay attention to how your body reacts and adjust the frequency of your sessions accordingly.
At Chiropractic Plus, we will help you design a personalised cryotherapy regime based on your health needs and weight loss goals.
