TT: When to Use Sauna & Cold Plunges

Cold and heat-based therapies have been used for thousands of years due to their numerous benefits…

But just because something is beneficial for one person doesn’t necessarily make it good for all…

For example, when is the best time of the day to use cold therapy and for how long and at what temperature…

And, should you do your sauna before or after exercise, and for how long?

On today’s show, I want to walk you through the differences between both hot and cold therapies and help you understand how to properly utilize each one. Plus, we’ll detail when the best time is to use them around your workouts.

So join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2442 where we discuss when to use sauna & cold plunges and if they may be beneficial to YOU – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. Is it Right For You

While there are many benefits to cold and heat-based therapies it is important to look at your own bio-individuality to determine if one or both would be right for you. 

2. Cold Therapy

56 degrees has been the benchmark for cold-based therapy for many years but more importantly, it just needs to feel cold to you. Cold therapy is used to stimulate the body, boost endorphins, tighten skin, and reduce inflammation.

3. Heat Therapy

Heat therapy calms the nervous system by inducing the parasympathetic nervous system and it facilitates faster recovery. It can alleviate tension, anxiety, and aid in the detoxification process.
