What Andrew Huberman Says About Contrast Therapy
Neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman has been vocal about the power of contrast therapy (cold plunging + sauna) for recovery and performance. Here’s what he says:
🔥 Heat Therapy (Sauna) Benefits:
Increases growth hormone (muscle repair & fat loss)
Improves cardiovascular function
Enhances endurance & performance
🧊 Cold Plunge Benefits:
Triggers dopamine spikes (lasting 2-3 hours!)
Strengthens immune response
Improves metabolic health
How to Do It?
Start with heat. Sauna for 15-20 min.
Go cold. 2-5 min in an ice bath or cold plunge.
Repeat 2-3 rounds.
Huberman’s main takeaway? The more extreme the temperature shift, the better the benefits.
