In today’s fast-paced world, stress has become a constant companion for many of us. Chronic stress doesn’t just affect mental well-being; it also has profound effects on the body, contributing to inflammation, weakened immunity, disrupted sleep, and even accelerated ageing.


At Wellness By Resolve, we believe that proactive stress management is essential for long-term health, and our therapies provide scientifically supported ways to help the body and mind reset, recover, and build resilience.



The Science Behind Stress and Its Impact on the Body

When we experience stress, the body releases cortisol, the primary stress hormone. While cortisol is essential for short-term responses (such as reacting to danger), chronic elevation of cortisol levels can disrupt essential bodily functions, including:

  • Increased Inflammation – Leading to joint pain, muscle tension, and conditions like headaches or gut issues.

  • Weakened Immune Function – Making the body more vulnerable to illness.

  • Disrupted Sleep Cycles – Poor-quality sleep leads to fatigue, brain fog, and reduced ability to cope with stress.

  • Imbalanced Nervous System – Heightened sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) activity, making relaxation and recovery difficult.


Studies have shown that ongoing stress accelerates cellular ageing, reduces neuroplasticity (brain adaptability), and contributes to mental health conditions like anxiety and depression (McEwen, 2017).

The good news? A consistent wellness routine can actively counteract these effects.


How Our Therapies Help Combat Stress

At Wellness By Resolve, we offer evidence-based therapies designed to reset the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and support deep relaxation. By committing to a regular wellness regime through our memberships, you can build resilience against stress and improve overall well-being.


Here’s how:

  1. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) – Oxygen for Mental Clarity and RecoveryHBOT increases oxygen delivery to the brain and body, enhancing cellular function and reducing inflammation. Research has shown that oxygen therapy lowers stress markers and improves cognitive performance, helping to combat mental fatigue and burnout (Harch & Fogarty, 2018).

  2. Infrared Sauna – Relaxation and Cortisol ReductionHeat therapy promotes deep relaxation by lowering cortisol levels and increasing endorphin production. Regular sauna use has been linked to reduced symptoms of anxiety and stress-related disorders (Laukkanen et al., 2018).

  3. Red Light Therapy (RLT) – Cellular Restoration and Mood EnhancementRLT works at the mitochondrial level to enhance energy production and promote cellular repair. Research suggests it can help with stress-induced fatigue, improve mood, and regulate sleep cycles (Barolet et al., 2016).

  4. Cold Plunge – Nervous System Reset and Resilience BuildingCold exposure activates the vagus nerve, shifting the body from a stressed state (sympathetic) to a calm state (parasympathetic). Studies indicate that regular cold therapy improves stress tolerance, reduces anxiety, and enhances emotional resilience (van Heuveln et al., 2021).


The Power of a Consistent Wellness Regime

One-off relaxation techniques provide temporary relief, but true stress management requires consistency. Our Wellness Memberships offer a structured way to integrate these therapies into your routine, ensuring that you regularly reset your stress response and support your long-term health.
