How Long to Sauna & Cold Plunge for Key Benefits | Dr. Susanna Søberg & Dr. Andrew Huberman

Dr. Susanna Søberg and Dr. Andrew Huberman discuss the optimal duration of cold and heat exposure for health benefits, explaining that 11 minutes of cold exposure per week, divided into short sessions, and 57 minutes of sauna use per week, in 10-15 minute sessions, are sufficient for positive changes like reduced blood sugar and improved cardiovascular health.

Dr. Susanna Søberg earned her doctoral degree at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, researching the effects of deliberate cold and deliberate heat exposure on metabolism and other aspects of human physiology. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine and host of the Huberman Lab podcast.
