The Ultimate Hyrox Recovery Checklist: How to Rebuild, Recharge, and Come Back Stronger Than Ever

Natural Recovery Solutions Aligned with a Keto Carnivore Lifestyle

Okay, I am completely smashed after the Copenhagen Hyrox event.

It took me three days before I could sit on the toilet without feeling like my upper legs were on fire.

Then, I started coughing and developed flu-like symptoms.

Maybe it’s the Spring Equinox cleanse, that natural detox effect that hits this time of year.

Maybe it was the dry air at the Hyrox event.

Either way, this is my first cold and flu of the entire season, and my body is clearly in full recovery mode.

So, I went all-in on intense self-care to bounce back faster.

I also reached out to friends and family for their best recovery tips.

Here’s what I’ve gathered so far, four days after completing my first Hyrox.

✅ Nutrition & Hydration

◻️ Prioritize high-quality animal protein & healthy fats (Carnivore lifestyle)

◻️ Drink hydrogen water to reduce oxidative stress

◻️ Maintain electrolyte balance

◻️ Consider bone broth for extra collagen & minerals. Or a good quality collagen product.

◻️ Liver or organ supplements (if aligned with your diet)

✅ Pain Relief & Inflammation Support

◻️ Apply essential oil - like the deep blue muscle rub + Copaiba for relief

◻️ Take a magnesium bath (Epsom salts) or use magnesium spray or supplement.

✅ Muscle Recovery & Circulation

◻️ Do gentle movement (walking, stretching, mobility work)

◻️ Try contrast therapy (hot/cold showers or ice bath)

◻️ Wear compression gear or get a massage

✅ Rest & Nervous System Reset

◻️ Prioritize deep sleep (use magnesium, lavender, or other sleep aids if needed)

◻️ Practice breathwork & meditation for nervous system recovery

✅ Mindset & Reflection

◻️ Listen to your body—take the time you need to recover fully

◻️ Celebrate your achievement & visualize your next goal (hey, who is coming with me to Oslo in September 2025?)

Bonus Tip:

Recovery isn’t about doing more—it’s about allowing your body to heal.

If you’re feeling wiped out, rest without guilt.

You earned it!
