Support your mental wellness through intentional practice
Mental health is health. Depression, mood disorders, and persistent low mood affect millions of Americans and can significantly impact quality of life, relationships, work performance, and physical health. While professional mental health treatment is essential for clinical depression, many people find that complementary wellness practices provide meaningful support for their mood and mental wellbeing. Research increasingly shows connections between physical practices — cold exposure, light therapy, sensory deprivation, and cellular health — and mental wellness outcomes. These practices don't replace professional mental health care, but they may provide valuable support as part of a comprehensive approach.
Mood challenges affect people of all ages and backgrounds. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is particularly common in Utah's winter months. Stress-related mood changes affect busy professionals and parents. Post-partum mood changes affect new mothers. And general low mood or mild depression can affect anyone going through difficult life transitions, grief, or chronic stress.
Deliberate Wellness Studio offers several modalities that research suggests may support mood and mental wellness. Cryotherapy may trigger significant norepinephrine release — a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation. Infrared sauna may promote relaxation and endorphin release. Red light therapy is being studied for its potential effects on brain health. Dry float therapy provides deep sensory rest. NAD+ may support brain cell energy. These modalities complement professional mental health care.
Each of these services at Deliberate Wellness Studio in Vineyard, UT addresses depression & mood support from a different angle. Many clients find that combining multiple modalities provides the most comprehensive support.
Research suggests that cold exposure may trigger a 200-300% increase in norepinephrine — a neurotransmitter involved in attention, focus, and mood regulation. Many clients report improved mood after sessions.
Heat exposure may promote endorphin release and deep relaxation. Studies have explored whole-body hyperthermia as a potential support for mood, with promising preliminary results.
Transcranial photobiomodulation — light therapy applied near the head — is being studied for its potential effects on brain cell energy production and mood regulation.
Sensory deprivation in a dry float pod provides deep rest for the nervous system, potentially reducing cortisol levels and promoting a profound sense of calm and mental clarity.
NAD+ is essential for brain cell energy production. Declining levels may contribute to cognitive and mood changes. Supplementation may help support brain cell function.
For mood support, many Vineyard clients combine cryotherapy (for the norepinephrine boost and endorphin release) with infrared sauna (for deep relaxation and heat-induced endorphins). Dry float therapy provides profound nervous system rest. Red light therapy may support brain cell energy. These practices complement — never replace — professional mental health care.
