We were born from a mission to heal
About Us
Three months into their storybook marriage, Dion Ruzicka, Quality Control Manager, and Cindy Aplanalp, Interior Designer, found themselves in the midst of severe health crisis. Dion was diagnosed with leukemia.
Honoring his inner voice, Dion eschewed traditional treatments and followed his compelling instinct to Kill Cancer Cold. Both he and Cindy became daily devotees of contrast therapy — cycling between sauna, cold plunge and hot plunge. Not only did Dion’s leukemia cease to advance, they noticed remarkable improvements and newfound strength in their bodies and minds attributable to their daily "fire and ice.”
They attribute their transformation to their practice of the Wim Hof method, as well as the compelling scientific data related to the benefits of sauna and ice plunges. Dion and Cindy have committed themselves to sharing all they have learned with others.
