THE RITUAL, PRACTICED
sauna
15-30 minutes at 158-212°F (70–100°C). This range allows the body to fully enter a state of hormetic stress. The first 10 minutes ease the body into warmth. The next 10–20 create transformation. At temperatures above 158°F, the body enters mild hyperthermia, triggering heat shock proteins and activating key stress-adaptive systems.
cold plunge
2-10 minutes at 50–59°F (10–15°C). Just two minutes initiates vasoconstriction, dopamine release, and a nervous system reset. Extending to 5 or 10 minutes builds resilience and trains the stress response. Below 60°F, brown fat activates, metabolism increases, and dopamine can surge up to 250%.
Contrast
Repetition matters. Three to five rounds optimize vascular response, train the nervous system, and support deeper adaptation—without overstressing the body.
