How to Cold Plunge for Women.

This is StRest! Cold immersion and breath-led transformation expert Marie Bodine joins Kerstin to demystify cold exposure—how to start, who should be cautious, and how breathwork turns a “loud feeling” into calm, clarity, and resilience. We dig into the real physiology (why cold water is “weights for your veins”), the mental reset that comes from training stress-response on purpose, and practical timing with workouts and sleep. Marie explains why “11 minutes a week” is a guideline—not gospel—why temperature often matters more than time, and how to reheat the right way (hint: let your body learn to do it).
