“I’m a huge fan of Polar Monkeys cold plunges for their recovery and immunity benefits, but also the endocrine boost. The Star Treatment 2.0 is super high end. I’d recommend it to anybody.”

“There’s the release of norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, increased metabolism… but the main benefit I see is the absolute grit that you gain from getting into cold water daily. People that cold plunge on a regular basis gain an extra gear - an extra level of mental toughness that most people don’t have.”
