The Science & Health Benefits of Deliberate Heat Exposure
Using Deliberate Cold Exposure for Health and Performance
hubermanlab.comI describe mechanisms by which deliberate cold exposure can enhance mental health, physical health, and performance. I detail specific protocols to safely engage in deliberate cold exposure, including minimal exposure times, time-of-day effects, determining optimal temperatures, recovery, mindset, and movement during cold exposure. I discuss how co... See more
