Andrew Huberman is a prominent neuroscientist and professor at Stanford University, known for his research on brain plasticity and visual neuroscience. He has also explored the benefits of cold plunges on the human body. Huberman advocates cold plunges as a method to improve mental and physical health. According to his research, cold water immersion activates the body's stress response, leading to the release of hormones like adrenaline and noradrenaline. This process can enhance focus, mental clarity, and mood while reducing stress and anxiety. Additionally, cold plunges may stimulate the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports the growth and survival of neurons, potentially promoting brain health and cognitive function. Huberman's work has popularized the use of cold plunges as a holistic approach to overall wellness.
