What creators say

Used for: Getting things done on bad days Praised: Dopamine release; durable anti-depressive effects

"Cold exposure... does affect dopamine release. There's a lot of literature to support this, and for me at least has anti-depressive effects that last a while. It is not 10 or 20 minutes; there is some durability to it."

Praised: Short-term alertness

"Many people report more alertness. Many people report feeling good doing it and that's fantastic, but the evidence base for having long-term health benefits is actually much weaker than you might think."
