Inflammation doesn’t wait for convenience. It doesn’t pause for weekends or vacations. But your choices absolutely matter—and setting up a consistent at-home routine is one of the smartest ways to support your immune system and ease inflammation over time.
This isn’t about adding a dozen tasks to your day. It’s about choosing a few reliable habits and tools that work together to calm your body—even when inflammation feels persistent. In this guide, you'll find a straightforward 4-part plan that integrates breathwork, temperature therapy, targeted supplements, and passive recovery tools—all from the comfort of home.
1. Start with Nervous System Support & Breathwork (Daily)
Why this matters:
Inflammation and stress are deeply intertwined. Clear your nervous system, and your body becomes more efficient at healing itself.
Evening Ritual:
-
5–10 minute session using a breathwork app like Breathwrk, Othership, or State.
-
Pair with Apollo Neuro to use vibration tools that help your body shift from sympathetic (stress) to parasympathetic (repair).
Tip: Do morning and evening breath breaks—one to wake up your brain, the other to signal your body it’s time to settle down.
2. Add Temperature-Based Therapies (3–4x per Week)
-
Spend 1–3 minutes in a tub at 4–15°C. Prep with deep breathing.
-
Benefits include reduced cytokines, improved circulation, and enhanced mental clarity.
Infrared Sauna or Sauna Blanket
-
Use for 15–30 minutes in the evening. Consider full-spectrum or even near-infrared.
-
The heat improves circulation, reduces muscle tension, and activates heat shock proteins that repair cells.
-
Ideal for easing out of “always-on” mode, especially after a stressful day.
Bonus: Contrast Therapy (optional)
- Alternate cold for 1–2 minutes and infrared heat for 10–15. It’s powerful for stimulating circulation and recovery.
3. Support with Supplements & Nutrition
The foundation is whole foods, but targeted nutrients can help when inflammation won't budge.
-
Morning:
-
1–2 grams of high-quality omega-3 (EPA/DHA) with food
-
Vitamin D3 + K2, especially if you’ve had low labs
-
-
Midday:
-
Curcumin phytosome (e.g., Thorne Meriva®) with a meal
-
Magnesium glycinate or L-threonate before bed to aid deep sleep
-
Pro Tip: Use a daily supplement container or routine-based delivery system so you don’t have to remember dosing every day.
4. Passive Recovery & Maintenance (Daily or 3x Week)
When you’re too tired for movement, passive recovery tools can help you stay consistent and support healing:
-
Infrared Wraps or Sauna Blankets while reading, journaling, or working.
-
Massage guns (like Theragun) to stimulate lymphatic flow and release tension.
-
Topical creams, such as Penetrex or natural CBD and arnica salves, to reduce localized pain.
Extra recovery tip: A magnesium or epsom salt bath before bed doubles as relaxation and cellular repair support.

Real-World Use Cases
-
Busy professional with desk fatigue: Do a short sauna session while journaling. Add breathwork before bed to wind down.
-
Post-workout soreness: Take a cold plunge after exercise, followed by a curcumin supplement mid-day.
-
Chronic fatigue from stress: Focus on nightly magnesium baths and Apollo-guided breathwork—skip the more intense sessions until you feel ready.
FAQs & Objections
“I don’t have space for a sauna or cold tub.”
Infrared wraps, massage guns, or even foot spas can be great substitutes in smaller spaces.
“Won’t this be expensive?”
Start with one tool (like curcumin or breathwork) and add others over time. Many therapies can be rented or shared to test first.
“I don’t have time.”
All steps can be done in under 10 minutes. Recovery doesn’t need to take hours—it just needs to be consistent.
