Professor Marc Cohen, medical doctor, professor and biohacking expert and fx Medicine ambassador Michelle Woolhouse explore the benefits of water as a therapeutic tool. Our body’s cellular composition is two-thirds water which makes us highly responsive to water in its various temperatures, composition and states. Together they explore the benefits of Balneotherapy, the impacts of chlorinated water on the skin microbiome, and methods to expose yourself to heat and cold to induce hormesis, activate the immune system, and even burn fat.
