hey @Lyn Alden !! i recently listened to a podcast by andrew huberman with a female doctor mentioning how cold plunges and fasting before activity can actually be detrimental for women! i’d recommend a listen. i’m still learning and trying to check out other sources as fasting and plunging do feel pretty cool, but after trying out what the podcast says for about two months, i feel stronger during my workouts, and i even gained more muscle. check it out :)
