The Risks and Benefits of Cold Plunges
Webinar + Q&A
Program Information
Date: June 27th, 2025 2:00 pm EDT
Duration: 1.5 hours
Cold water immersion is a popular post-exercise recovery strategy for athletes during training. In this 1.5-hour CME-approved live webinar, I took a deep dive (pun intended!) into the best temperature, timing, and duration for cold plunges, as well as covered the negative effects of cold plunges for muscle building and identified which of the benefits may just be a placebo effect. I then discussed whether cold showers can improve immune function, the merits of using cold water immersion for gout flares, and the risks and benefits of winter sea bathing. I knew next to nothing about this topic when I started, and it turned out to be much more interesting than I thought.
Everyone registered for the webinar will receive the webinar recording within a few days of the webinar taking place.
Testimonials
All of the content was extremely useful. Dr. G is the best teacher, even via the web, I have ever listened to. Clear, engaging, personable, passionate, patient and very interesting.
It is a very cool feeling that there are over 500 people around the globe, who are interested in nutrition and want to know even more. So keep up the good work.
Dr. Greger did a fantastic job bringing his genius knowledge down to my level. I learned so much on all the ways to research effectively, thoroughly and truthfully. He was fantastic! He went over aspects enough times for me to get what he was talking about. So he didn't go too fast. He went just at the right pace. He did it with humor and fascination on a subject that can be tedious, he made it an adventure. I really appreciate all the work and planning that went into the four hours! Can't wait for him to do it again on another subject!
This course is worth so much money and a huge value to those particularly in university and research. Thank you so much for your time and efforts!
Dr. Greger is a rare treasure and his educational style is engaging. Thank you all!
