We’re excited to share that MindFuel Method was recently featured on Pittsburgh Today Live (PTL) — a popular local lifestyle show on CBS Pittsburgh that highlights what’s happening around the city.
The segment gave viewers a look inside our Strip District studio and explored why sauna, cold plunge, and contrast therapy are becoming such powerful tools for stress relief, recovery, and overall well-being.
What We Shared on the Show
During the segment, we walked through the MindFuel experience and why so many people in Pittsburgh are turning to contrast therapy as part of their weekly routine.
Key themes from the feature included:
Why contrast therapy works
Pairing hot sauna heat with cold plunge immersion helps support circulation, nervous system regulation, and mental clarity.Recovery without extremes
MindFuel isn’t about pushing limits — it’s about learning how to listen to your body, regulate stress, and feel better in daily life.Community-first wellness
From guided sessions to open flow formats, MindFuel is designed to be a welcoming space where people connect, reset, and recharge together.
(If you watch until the end… there’s also a moment that made us laugh.)

Why Sauna & Cold Plunge Are Gaining Momentum in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh has always been a city that values grit, hard work, and showing up – and that’s exactly why contrast therapy resonates here.
Regular sauna and cold plunge sessions can help:
Reduce stress and mental fatigue
Support muscle recovery and athletic performance
Improve sleep quality
Build resilience to everyday stressors
At MindFuel Method, we combine these modalities with guided breathwork, intentional pacing, and a supportive environment, so the experience feels grounding – not overwhelming.
