So stick with it.

I love it.

It's the same thing with altitude.

The mindbodygreen Podcast
642: The science of sweat, saunas & stress | best-selling author Bill Gifford

Whenever we go to the mountains, for example, once a year, maybe we go to Colorado or Salt Lake where you are, the altitude kicks my butt.

And it takes me probably a week.

The mindbodygreen Podcast
642: The science of sweat, saunas & stress | best-selling author Bill Gifford

And then I'm leaving anyway.

The mindbodygreen Podcast
642: The science of sweat, saunas & stress | best-selling author Bill Gifford

I don't go anywhere that long.

The mindbodygreen Podcast
642: The science of sweat, saunas & stress | best-selling author Bill Gifford

I finally start to adjust.

The mindbodygreen Podcast

So same situation.

And equally as beneficial as we think about our well-being.

The mindbodygreen Podcast

flexible right in terms of less thermally flexible let's say but with a little bit of heat adaptation they can handle those hot days better on that note you mentioned athletes and you've spent time with elite athletes what can we learn from how they train using heat to gain a competitive edge what what can us normal folks learn from these people

So speaking to that contrast,

At the gym I go to, you see lots of folks do hot cold.

The mindbodygreen Podcast

They'll go in the steamer sauna, then they'll go to the plunge, then they'll go back to the steamer sauna, then they'll go back to the plunge.

The mindbodygreen Podcast
642: The science of sweat, saunas & stress | best-selling author Bill Gifford

They'll do cycles of this.

The mindbodygreen Podcast
642: The science of sweat, saunas & stress | best-selling author Bill Gifford

What's your view on hot-cold, and then we'll segue to cold, which you've been, I think, critical of.

The mindbodygreen Podcast
642: The science of sweat, saunas & stress | best-selling author Bill Gifford

But we'll start with hot-cold.

The mindbodygreen Podcast
642: The science of sweat, saunas & stress | best-selling author Bill Gifford

jump in the lake or whatever but as far as like a specific protocol it's not it's not super well supported but it feels good so people do it well i don't do the hot cold but i'll i'll do the cold and we'll segue to your criticisms of cold but my understanding is if you are doing the hot cold always finish on cold not hot finishing on hot could be potentially dangerous

The mindbodygreen Podcast
642: The science of sweat, saunas & stress | best-selling author Bill Gifford

Oh, why?

The mindbodygreen Podcast
642: The science of sweat, saunas & stress | best-selling author Bill Gifford

Too much of a shock.
