Want the benefits of cold exposure without jumping straight into an ice bath or doing a cold plunge?
Joshua Goodrum, DO, of our Ashland clinic suggests this gentle 3-week progression to build resilience and support your nervous system.
Here’s how:
Week 1: End your warm shower with 30 seconds of cold.
Week 2: Bump it up to 1 minute of cold at the end.
Week 3: Begin with 30 seconds of cold and slowly work up to 5 minutes as tolerated.
Do you think you’ll give it a try?
