Do you know?

9 mins?

32 mins?

Well, I revealed the exact timing in Dr. Andrew’s podcast.

Here’s the answer:

Dr. Huberman:

So, if a subject is in the cold.

Let's say, they do 3 rounds of cold for 1 or 2 mins...

3 times a week.

What were the thresholds that you discovered were important for getting these positive changes like reduced blood sugar.

Or clearance of blood sugar.

Or being more efficient, reduced insulin, improved fat distribution, and density?

How much cold exposure do people need?

How much heat exposure do people need in order to extract these benefits?
