When using deliberate cold exposure to increase your metabolism, minimize hot showers & sauna after the last cold exposure.
Another critical feature of this study is, as with the beautiful work by Susanna Søberg, the subjects were told to warm up naturally after the deliberate cold exposure. So they basically hung out outside of the cold water immersion or outside of the cold shower for 10 minutes after they were exposed to the cold in their bathing suit, or I'm, I'm assuming they were wearing something, but the point is that you are not going from deliberate cold exposure directly into a hot shower or a sauna
