TWR 309: Ryan Duey: Benefits of Cold Plunging in Midlife with Co-Founder and CEO of Plunge

Curious about the cold plunge trend that's taking the wellness world by storm? In this episode of The Wellness Revolution podcast, I sit down with Ryan Duey, co-founder and CEO of Plunge, to explore the fascinating world of cold water therapy

We discuss the benefits of cold plunging and its impact on physical and mental health. We dive into the best time of day to do a plunge, the ideal duration for a plunge, and the differences between cold plunging and cryotherapy. Most importantly, we discuss the benefits of cold plunging for women in midlife and menopause and the importance of taking care of oneself to overcome feeling stuck in life.

Their motto is ‘all boats rise’ and they believe in creating relationships where everyone wins.
