What if your home could actively support your physical recovery, mental clarity, and long-term well-being?
In this episode of the Age Well Home & Lifestyle Podcast, host Kelly Bradley sits down with Michelle and Eric Walker, co-founders of NW Immersion Co, to explore how intentional heat and cold therapy can become a powerful foundation for healthy aging and everyday wellness.
Michelle and Eric share their personal wellness journey — beginning with their first in-home sauna in 2010 — and how the profound physical and mental benefits they experienced led to a complete lifestyle shift. Eric opens up about his 100-pound weight loss and how consistent sauna use and cold plunge therapy helped him not only lose the weight, but sustain it long-term.
Together, we discuss:
• The role of heat and cold therapy in recovery, longevity, and mental resilience
• Why home-based wellness environments matter more than ever
• How intentional design supports sustainable health habits
• What to consider when integrating saunas and cold plunge systems into your home
• Taking ownership of your health in midlife and beyond
This conversation is about more than saunas and cold plunges — it’s about creating environments that help you live fully, recover deeply, and age with intention.
