For women, your cold plunge might need a different approach...
For years, most cold exposure research was based on men. But emerging research suggests that women can respond differently to ice baths due to hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle.
That doesn’t mean women shouldn’t cold plunge, it simply means timing, duration, and intensity may be worth considering to get the most out of your sessions.
In this carousel, we’re breaking down:
✨ How hormones can influence your response to cold
✨ When ice baths may feel easier (or harder)
✨ How to work with your body instead of against it
Knowledge is power, and understanding your body can help you get the benefits of cold exposure while making the experience more enjoyable.
