Dr Chalmers Path to Pro - Cold Plunge

Curious about cold plunges and their real benefits? This quick breakdown explores how cold exposure can enhance metabolic health by converting white fat into metabolically active beige fat. It’s a powerful tool for supporting fat loss and improving energy efficiency when used correctly.

But timing is everything. Cold plunging right after a workout can interfere with muscle recovery by reducing inflammation needed for growth. For best results, avoid routine timing to preserve the shock effect and use alternatives like saunas post-training to boost blood flow and recovery.
