Most women are not thriving from cold water exposure 👀
I was that person for a long time - I would sea swim all through the winter, with frost on the sand and steam coming off the water, I would bob around until I couldn’t feel my limbs and I loved it. I also had insomnia, painful periods and blood clots which would make me gulp 🫣
Women are not small men. In order for our bodies to thrive and for regular, pain-free, healthy cycles and menstruation, our bodies, hormones and wombs need warmth, safety & softness
While the health benefits are numerous with cold water exposure, it is also fact that cold water puts a mahoosive stressor on the body, which is not ideal for the average woman in our society who is stressed and under-nourished, and may already be struggling with their cycles
Since switching from cold water to saunas, I will never look back and my cycles have thanked me too 🙏🏼 every woman is unique with what helps their body to thrive and for many, it may be ditching the cold water and for others it may be medicine ❄️
