Press Release: Dr. Susanna Søberg Sets the Record Straight: Women and Cold Plunging
As cold plunging explodes in popularity across wellness communities, so does misinformation—especially around women. In response, Dr. Susanna Søberg, world-leading metabolic scientist, author, and founder of the Thermalist Method®, issues a clear message:
“Women are not too sensitive for cold plunging. What women need is nuanced
guidance on how to use cold therapy effectively and safely, to trigger a cascade of
health benefits. ”
Recent online debates have incorrectly claimed that women should avoid cold
exposure altogether due to hormonal fluctuations and perceived fragility. Dr. Søberg,
whose scientific work has shaped global understanding of cold and heat exposure,
firmly debunks this.
“The science does not support the idea that women should stay out of cold water. It
supports the idea that we need to understand physiology and context—especially
when working with the nervous system.”
