The Hot–Cold Cycle
Contrast therapy alternates heat (sauna) and cold (plunge). The vasodilation of heat followed by the vasoconstriction of cold creates a 'pump' effect that many athletes use for recovery and a powerful mood lift.
A Simple Protocol
Try 10–15 minutes in the sauna, then 1–3 minutes in the cold plunge. Repeat 2–3 rounds, always finishing on cold. Hydrate well throughout.
