Cold and Heat Adaptation
Exposure to extreme cold can significantly boost norepinephrine levels, enhancing mental and physical performance. However, frequent cold or heat exposure leads to adaptation, diminishing the hormonal benefits over time. To maximize growth hormone increases from deliberate heat exposure, it's recommended to space out sessions, ideally to once a week or every ten days, to maintain the element of shock that triggers these hormonal responses.In this clip
