Today we’d like to introduce you to Jonas Kuehne MD
Hi Jonas, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My journey in integrative health began after graduating as a doctor from UCLA School of Medicine, where I developed a passion for preventive medicine and innovative treatments. In 2009, my wife, Emilia, and I co-founded Cryohealthcare with a vision to bring cutting-edge therapies that help people optimize their health and performance. What many don’t know is that our venture actually began in our living room, where we mapped out our dream on a simple notepad and envisioned what would become a revolutionary health concept. My wife and I discovered Whole Body Cryotherapy in Berlin, Germany and introduced it to the US market—a transformative treatment that quickly gained recognition for its ability to reduce inflammation, accelerate recovery, and enhance overall well-being.
What began as that humble living room idea has grown into three locations across the Los Angeles area, each offering a comprehensive suite of advanced services. While cryotherapy remains our signature treatment, we’ve expanded to provide vitamin injections and infusions, umbilical cord stem cell treatments, medical weight loss, PEMF therapy, and red light/NIR therapy which supports muscle recovery, pain management, and skin rejuvenation. We also offer specialized supplements like methylene blue to support immune function and enhance energy levels.
Whole Body Cryotherapy has established itself as a powerful anti-inflammatory treatment, remaining one of our core therapeutic offerings. Whether clients come seeking athletic recovery, improved circulation, stress relief, or better sleep quality, our treatments are designed to amplify the body’s natural healing processes.
Beyond my clinical practice, I’ve launched a YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/jonaskuehnemd) dedicated to sharing health knowledge making it accessible not just to my patients, but to anyone interested in optimizing their well-being through simple, everyday practices. You can also follow our journey and latest health news on our Instagram channel @dr.jonas.kuehne. We remain deeply committed to providing safe, science-backed solutions that support health and longevity, while constantly exploring innovative approaches to help people achieve optimal health and embrace their full vitality.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Being the first to offer Whole Body Cryotherapy has been extremely challenging. Many people thought we were crazy for suggesting they freeze their bodies at -240F, and we’ve had to consistently educate the public—even to this day—about why this type of cold exposure is so beneficial for the body.
The pioneering path is rarely smooth. Initially, we faced significant skepticism from both potential clients and the medical community. We had to build credibility from the ground up, investing countless hours in education, demonstrations, and explaining the science behind the therapy. There were regulatory hurdles to navigate as well, since we were introducing a treatment that didn’t fit neatly into existing categories.
Fortunately, as clients began experiencing the remarkable results firsthand, the word spread. We were featured in numerous media channels which helped us broadcast the message about the amazing benefits of cryotherapy and our other innovative treatments. Seeing athletes, celebrities, and everyday clients achieve significant improvements in recovery times, reduced inflammation, and enhanced well-being has validated our early vision
The journey of bringing innovative health solutions to the mainstream has been demanding, but witnessing the positive impact on thousands of lives makes every obstacle we’ve overcome worthwhile.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
What truly sets Cryohealthcare apart is our comprehensive approach to health optimization and our great community we call Cryo Family.
Our chambers are the most effective on the market. When it comes to Whole Body Cryotherapy, the efficacy of the treatment is determined by temperature rather than time spent in the chamber. As temperature gets colder than -220F, we notice a dramatic increase in anti-inflammatory response.
Beyond our signature cryotherapy, we encourage our clients to explore our incredible selection of vitamin injections including B12, B-complex, Lipo-B, Glutathione and NAD+. These intra-muscular injections provide immediate bioavailability that oral supplements simply cannot match.
Our anti-aging treatments like CryoT-Shock have gained significant popularity for their non-invasive approach to body contouring and skin rejuvenation.
We’re also proud of our safe weight loss programs that deliver sustainable results without resorting to dangerous weight loss injections that have become all too common. Our medically supervised weight loss program combines prescription medications, nutritional guidance, metabolism optimization, and targeted supplementation to help clients achieve their ideal weight safely and effectively.
Perhaps most exciting is our newest offering – stem cell treatments that I personally administer.
This cutting-edge therapy represents the frontier of regenerative medicine, offering potential benefits for tissue repair, reduced inflammation, and enhanced healing that were unimaginable just years ago
The crisis has affected us all in different ways. How has it affected you and any important lessons or epiphanies you can share with us?
The Covid-19 pandemic powerfully reinforced what I’ve always believed as a physician: your health should be your number one priority. Whether facing Covid or any other health challenge, those in better overall health consistently demonstrate superior recovery outcomes.
This crisis has illuminated how foundational health factors—strong immunity, cardiovascular fitness, metabolic health, and reduced inflammation—create resilience against illness. We witnessed firsthand how individuals with optimized health markers often experienced milder symptoms and faster recoveries when confronted with the virus.
The pandemic also highlighted the importance of proactive health management rather than reactive crisis care. Many people who previously postponed investing in their wellbeing quickly recognized that robust health is our most valuable asset and strongest defense against unpredictable threats.
If there’s one positive outcome from this difficult period, it’s the widespread awakening to this fundamental truth: prioritizing your health isn’t a luxury—it’s essential preparation for whatever life may bring.
