Most people are doing anywhere from about a minute to three minutes, sometimes five or six minutes of deliberate cold exposure. Most often, after doing that deliberate cold exposure, people are either getting clothed or they're getting into a sauna and then getting dressed for the day. We can safely say that if you warm up after a relatively brief, meaning one minute, let's extend out to ten minutes, ten minute deliberatecold exposure. If you are somebody who is not accustomed to it, don't jump right up to that long exposure to cold water. Start with shorter exposures. The environment that you happen to be in does impact your susceptibility to colds and other types of viruses and to bacterial infections
Welcome to a preview of the seventh Ask Me Anything (AMA) episode, part of the Huberman Lab Premium subscription.
The Huberman Lab Premium subscription was launched for two main reasons. First, it was launched in order to raise support for the standard Huberman Lab podcast channel — which will continue to come out every Monday at zero-cost. Second, it was launched as a means to raise funds for important scientific research. A significant portion of proceeds from the Huberman Lab Premium subscription will fund human research (not animal models) selected by Dr. Huberman, with a dollar-for-dollar match from the Tiny Foundation.
