Start cold plunging the right way

Most beginners go too cold, too long, too fast. This protocol keeps the first goal simple: control your breathing, exit safely, and build consistency.

Research-aware, not reckless: Cold-water immersion may support recovery, perceived wellbeing, stress tolerance, and sleep for some people, but it also creates cardiovascular and breathing stress. The PDF explains both sides in plain English.
