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?

  1. Start with heat. Sauna for 15-20 min.

  2. Go cold. 2-5 min in an ice bath or cold plunge.

  3. Repeat 2-3 rounds.

Huberman’s main takeaway? The more extreme the temperature shift, the better the benefits.
