Why Cold Plunges Work: Physiology Behind Recovery and Resilience
I joined the That One Time podcast to discuss cold plunges and why they’re more than a trend—how targeted cold exposure can be a powerful, physiology-driven recovery tool.
When applied with the right protocol, cold exposure can increase dopamine (some studies report up to 250%), raise metabolic rate, reduce inflammation, and activate cold-shock proteins linked to cellular resilience. This is recovery rooted in physiology, focused on restoring resilience and long-term health rather than temporary grit.
