Questions, answered
- How cold, and how long, should a plunge be?
The evidence points to roughly 10–15 minutes at 11–15°C for soreness. Start conservative: cold exposure is a stressor, and more is not better. Never plunge alone if you are new to it.

- Sauna or cold plunge first?
They do different jobs — heat for circulation and relaxation, cold for alertness and soreness. If you alternate, many people finish on cold. Hydrate hard around sauna sessions.

- Does red-light therapy actually work?
The evidence is strongest for skin and localized joint or muscle recovery, weaker for whole-body claims. Dose and distance matter more than session length — follow the irradiance chart rather than just standing closer.
