It's not like extra stressful for women and won't make women fat.

But if I can burn an extra 250 calories by doing a cold plunge and get all the blood sugar regulating and nervous system benefits and not eat an extra 250 calories that balances that out, it would actually help with fat loss.

It's a myth that it's not good for muscles because you got to be in there for like 10 plus minutes for that effect to set in.

So overall, it can be pretty good, but only if someone is also

controlling how many calories they eat.

Six for infrared sauna, primarily because of a lot of the longevity data, reduced all-cause risk of mortality, dementia, Alzheimer's, diabetes, et cetera, that has come out of Finland, but not higher than a six because most of that research was done on dry saunas.

And infrared saunas take much longer for that

heat shock protein production to set in and so even though you get a deeper sweat and arguably i think long-term research will show infrared saunas could be better for something like let's say heavy metal detoxing i think

We haven't seen as much research on infrared as we have on dry saunas.

And my personal protocol is I cold plunge twice a day.

I do it in the morning before my workout, and I do it in the afternoon typically towards the end of the day just to refresh my body for the rest of the day.

I do infrared sauna twice.

one to two times per week.
