Immersing ourselves into very cold or nearly freezing water might be the absolute last thing any of us would ever choose to do, but it can be worth it — considering it's a habit that's linked to many health benefits, such as a boost in metabolism and circulation and it can significantly reduce pain and inflammation in the body.

Because of the benefits and after many years of implementing it into her own wellness routine, Cody encourages most everyone to take advantage of it. But, as she encourages us to try cold-plunging, she also shares how to make the most of the benefits and how to avoid the disadvantages that affect us as women. There are special considerations to keep in mind for us, because of our unique hormonal cycles and our reproductive health.

If we can understand how to integrate cold plunges into our monthly menstrual cycle we can maximize the benefits and avoid potential drawbacks, things like worsened cramps, for example.

In this episode, Cody helps us explore the science behind cold immersion for women, potential cold plunge benefits, and shares advice for all of the different stages of our menstrual cycle, as well as considerations for those who are pregnant, or trying to become pregnant, and even those of us who are using hormone replacement therapy.
