So when we hear the term Hormetic Stress being used as something that improves our health & well-being it can be confusing. But don’t worry, if you’re scratching your head and going “what is this hormetic stress and how exactly does it work?”.
Found—Space is Australia’s longest-running infrared sauna company and in recent times we made the shift to broaden our range of hormetic tech products – equipment designed specifically to induce a hormetic stress response (known as hormesis). We’re Australia’s leading hormetic tech company and we’re pretty excited to share these amazing technologies with Australians and kiwis keen to improve their bodies and their minds.
There are good stressors for the body and bad ones. When our bodies are exposed to good stressors at the right amount, this activates protection mechanisms or survival systems in the body which result in a range of beneficial physiological outcomes that ultimately improve our health & resilience.

environmental health.
