Since cold plunging started trending a few years ago, it\u2019s become mainstream in the wellness world: videos tagged #coldplunge have garnered over a billion views<\/a> on TikTok, and celebrities and health influencers advocate its benefits. Though I\u2019ve never personally been interested in trying it, there is plenty of scientific evidence to back up claims that cold plunging can aid with everything from building resilience, to aiding muscle recovery, to boosting metabolism.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, however, some people are questioning whether women\u2014with their distinct physiology from men\u2014actually benefit from sudden immersion in cold water the same way men do. For example, a recent article<\/a> in SELF <\/em>magazine addresses claims that cold plunges could actually be counterproductive for women. The article references a recent study<\/a> with only<\/em> female participants which found that cold plunging did not result in faster muscle repair [1].\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, is it worth it for women to take the plunge?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is cold plunging?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cold plunging<\/a>, also known as cold water immersion (CWI), involves partially or totally submerging oneself in cold water for several minutes, either by sitting in a tub or jumping into a natural body of water.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do people do it?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The practice of cold plunging dates back<\/a> to ancient times; records from both Egypt and Greece reference cold water for therapeutic and social uses. Today, there are two primary goals of cold plunging: general health and athletic performance [2].\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among elite athletes, the practice of using ice baths to aid in muscle recovery has been popular for decades. Many studies (and several meta-analyses<\/a>) have gathered evidence that cold plunging after intense exercise helps to alleviate sore muscles, and\u2014in some cases\u2014aid in recovery [3] [4].\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 2020, cold plunging became a viral wellness trend\u2014and research has been promising in this area as well. One study found that cold plunging increased the amount of dopamine in the brain by 250%, indicating that it\u2019s a powerful mood-booster [5]. Other research has shown that cold plunging has positive effects on metabolism and could improve insulin sensitivity [6].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens to the body during a cold plunge?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When either a man or woman\u2019s body is immersed in cold water, the body\u2019s immediate stress response is activated. Along with increased breathing and heart rate, there is a sudden spike in cortisol, dopamine, and adrenaline. Unlike chronic stress and consistently elevated cortisol<\/a> levels, which contribute to inflammation and other health issues, the short-term stress response triggers an increase in white blood cell count and immune activation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the cold, blood vessels closer to the surface of the skin constrict\u2014the body\u2019s way of limiting blood flow to the extremities and keeping the core temperature stable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within minutes, the body starts to produce its own heat by shivering. It also activates brown fat tissue<\/a>, which specifically works to maintain body temperature and also helps regulate blood sugar and insulin levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do women\u2019s bodies respond differently?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This process applies to both sexes; however, differences in women\u2019s body composition mean that the effects of cold plunging can vary\u2014and present added risks\u2014for women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women feel cold temperatures more intensely<\/a> than men due to their smaller size, lower muscle mass, and higher percentage of body fat. Being smaller means that women have a greater skin surface to volume ratio than men, allowing more heat to escape through the skin. Muscle helps to produce heat, especially when shivering, so men\u2019s greater muscle mass helps them generate more heat more quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women tend to have slightly higher core temperatures than men, likely because their higher body fat provides more insulation. But women also tend to have colder hands, feet, and ears than men do, and one study found<\/a> that women\u2019s bodies started producing their own heat at a lower temperature than men\u2019s\u2014meaning that they didn\u2019t just feel<\/em> colder, they were<\/em> colder.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These differences in the ways women react to cold temperatures mean that cold plunging causes greater discomfort for women, which can lead to an outsized stress response that ends up doing more harm than good. It also puts women at greater risk of developing hypothermia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also puts women at greater risk of developing hypothermia.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How the menstrual cycle affects cold plunges for women<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not surprisingly, in a woman of childbearing age, the hormonal changes that her body constantly undergoes due to her menstrual cycles also affect her response to cold water immersion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women\u2019s core temperatures are slightly warmer during the luteal phase than during any other part of the cycle. (That\u2019s why a rise in basal body temperature<\/a> is used as a biomarker in symptothermal fertility awareness methods to indicate that ovulation has occurred.) Progesterone<\/a> (which is highest during the luteal phase) causes blood vessels in the skin to constrict, limiting blood flow to the extremities but raising the core temperature. Estrogen<\/a> has the opposite effect; it causes blood vessels close to the skin\u2019s surface to dilate, which in turn lets more heat escape. (It\u2019s also responsible for that \u2018ovulation glow\u2019 that makes women appear more attractive<\/a> around ovulation.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Dr. Stacy Sims<\/a>, an exercise physiologist and women\u2019s health expert known for the tagline \u201cWomen are not small men,\u201d women are more sensitive to cold stress and \u201cexperience greater drops in core temperature \u2026 in the luteal phase when progesterone<\/a> is high.\u201d The takeaway? Cold-plunging might be more stressful on the body during the luteal phase than at other points in the cycle\u2014unless you tailor your plunge routine to your unique female physiology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to women taking the plunge, research is ongoing<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the added considerations around stress response and hormonal interaction, those who caution women against cold plunging point to the fact that the research around it has primarily been done on men. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, more studies are being conducted that seek to understand how cold plunging might affect women\u2019s health, including the study referenced by SELF<\/em> [1]. While that particular study did not find any benefits for muscle recovery from cold plunging, a different study did <\/em>find cold water immersion to be effective <\/a>for reducing soreness and accelerating muscle repair in women. It\u2019s worth noting that the two studies had different designs: both involved cold plunging after intense exercise, but the one that didn\u2019t find any benefits measured the effects of a one-time cold water immersion, while the other looked at the effect of cold plunging over five consecutive days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danish scientist Dr. Susanna S\u00f8berg, who specializes in metabolism and cold and heat exposure, writes<\/a> that more research is needed to understand how cold plunging interacts with women\u2019s hormones, metabolism, and muscle repair process, but she sees the early evidence around cold plunging and women\u2019s health as \u201cpromising.\u201d According to S\u00f8berg, cold plunging can be an effective nervous system regulator, and there is some evidence that it may \u201csupport mitochondrial health<\/a>, reduce inflammation, and aid fat oxidation in women.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Stacy Sims has an excellent explainer<\/a> on why women benefit most from cold plunging protocols at more moderate temperatures, and at shorter intervals, than those recommended for men. She also argues that it\u2019s important to distinguish between cold plunging for health and performance, and to follow different protocols to actually derive the intended benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different goals, different methods<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The primary factors that separate cold plunging for overall health and for athletic performance are temperature, frequency, and duration. Most of the adverse effects that women can experience from cold plunging result from temperatures that are too extreme. And cold plunging too often<\/a> can cause the body to become used to it, lowering the release of cortisol and adrenaline, greatly reducing its effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Sims makes the following recommendations for women to cold plunge safely and effectively:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health: <\/strong>Moderately cold temperatures, around 57\u201359\u00b0F (14\u201315\u00b0C), will still activate the body\u2019s short-term stress response and heat production by brown fat tissue. Dr. Sims recommends short immersions of two to five minutes, up to four times per week, to reap these benefits without overstressing the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance: <\/strong>For muscle recovery, slightly colder temperatures (50\u201354\u00b0F or 10-12\u00b0C) for up to 10 minutes can alleviate soreness and inflammation after an intense training session. Cold plunging after strength training is not recommended, as it can limit muscle growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When not to cold plunge<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is debate over the safety of cold plunging while pregnant. Some scientists argue that cold plunging can be beneficial<\/a> during pregnancy, reducing inflammation and potentially improving insulin sensitivity<\/a>. The general recommendation, however, is to avoid<\/a> cold plunging during pregnancy because of its potential to restrict blood flow to the developing baby and increase stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the temporary strain on the heart and increased blood pressure that result from cold plunging, it\u2019s also not recommended<\/a> for those with heart problems or who are taking blood pressure medications. If in doubt, talk to your health care practitioner about the potential benefits and risks for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line: moderation is key<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While there\u2019s still plenty of research to be done on cold water immersion (especially for women), it seems that there are no major reasons why women should avoid taking the plunge\u2014with a few precautions. For those who are interested in trying it, start slightly warmer (around 59\u00b0F or 15\u00b0C) for only a couple of minutes at a time. In the words of Dr. S\u00f8berg, cold plunging \u201cisn\u2019t about proving anything.\u201d Start slow, and pay attention to how you feel (and if you\u2019re a FAM user, how your cycles respond, and adjusting temperature and duration based on cycle phase) to determine whether you want to add cold plunging to your routine or whether it\u2019s not for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
