Effectiveness of Cold Plunges in Medical Recommendations
Cold plunges are not medically recommended by a physician on a podcast due to the lack of evidential support and perceived stress it induces. Despite known benefits for mental health and some case studies showing positive effects, clinicians do not see it as a viable prescription in medical practice. The stress-inducing nature of cold plunges can trigger traumatic memories and anxieties, impacting individual responses. Social evaluation plays a role in engagement and consistency in the practice of cold plunges.
