If there’s one practice that has radically changed how I handle stress, it’s cold plunging. Sure, it’s uncomfortable. But that discomfort is where the magic happens. Research has shown that cold immersion can build mental resilience, reduce inflammation, boost mood, and even slow cellular aging.
I use the Inergize Cold Plunge Tub, which circulates water to prevent your body from creating a warm layer around itself—making for a more effective plunge. If you’re new to cold therapy, don’t stress about extreme temps; studies suggest that 55°F is ideal for women, and even shorter sessions can trigger benefits. If a full tub isn’t realistic, try easing in with a cold shower pod or a few minutes of icy water in your regular tub.
