Framework × STAT Wellness
A blood panel that shows your progress.
Heat and cold at Framework are deliberate, time-boxed stressors. Think of traditional sauna as a steady cardiovascular workload. Heart rate up, vessels open, sweat doing its job. Cold is a short sympathetic spike followed by a practiced return to calm. Together, in contrast, they train calm under pressure and heart-health capacity.
That interplay is the foundation we want.
And measuring how it improves our health matters.
We’ve paired up with STAT Wellness—a medical partner of our studio with an integrative practice known for smart testing and practical coaching—to offer a Framework recovery blood panel. It’s designed to track allostatic load and metabolic health over 90 days of regular heat and cold practice.
Core markers we’re measuring
hs-CRP: Low-grade inflammation
Cortisol (AM): Stress-hormone rhythm
DHEA-S: Adrenal reserve/resilience context
CMP: Electrolytes, liver/kidney function, glucose
Insulin: Metabolic health and blood-sugar stability
How it works
Baseline draw (at STAT clinic or at-home kit).
Practice. 90 days of Framework sessions (i.e., sauna 3x/week, short cold exposures)
Follow-up draw and a review via STAT’s portal, with Framework coaching to translate results into next steps.
Why it helps
It confirms the pattern you feel. Fewer wired and tired days, steadier energy, better sleep.
It catches early “over-doing” so you can adjust temperature, time, or recovery and not guess.
It turns sauna from a feel-good ritual into a measure-and-improve program.
Heat and cold can feel amazing in the moment. The win is when that feeling matches the data: lower stress load, steadier energy, better sleep, healthier metabolism. Ready to turn your ritual into measurable progress? Pre-register for the blood panel.
