Face Dunking: Your 30-Second Stress Reset

Research reveals that simply exposing your face to cold water triggers your body's built-in stress-fighting mechanism. Known as the "diving reflex," this ancient biological response activates your vagus nerve through the trigeminal-vagal reflex - a response that's now scientifically proven to reduce stress!

Science-Backed Benefits:

• Significantly lower stress hormone (cortisol) levels
• Better recovery between stressful events
• Reduced physiological stress response
• Activates your body's natural calming system
• Enhances stress resilience

It's Simple:

1. Fill a bowl with cool water (50-65°F)

2. Add ice if necessary

3. Immerse face for 15-30 seconds

Quick Notes:

• Start with moderately cool water
• Avoid if you have cardiac conditions
• Practice when calm first

More Info: At WellPro, we’re building a native AI platform purpose-built to scale the next era of care: personalized, preventative, and data-driven. Our thesis is simple but bold; the future of care delivery will be patient-centered, proactive, longitudinal, and closed-loop. That demands infrastructure that can ingest multi-modal health data, generate insight, drive action, and continuously optimize based on outcomes.

We believe Agentic AI is central to making this vision real. Not just chat interfaces or “co-pilots,” but deeply embedded, goal-driven AI agents that operate within the clinical system itself, helping surface insights at the point of care, automate routine tasks, and ensure closed-loop follow-through on interventions. This isn’t an AI layer on top of legacy systems. It’s a new foundation.
