Cold Plunges: Mechanisms, Benefits, and Risks

What if the solution to your health plateau isn’t adding more biohacks, but identifying the single hidden stressor that’s crushing everything else? Live from the Health Summit stage, Dr. Andy Galpin introduces the concepts of “performance anchors” and the “three I’s framework,” that make you question before trying any new protocol: what specific problem am I solving, and is this the most effective tool for MY unique situation?
