I have read numerous things about the benfits of sauna, and fairly minimal downsides if healthy, and not mixed with drugs/alcohol and done in moderation.
Although I love cold weather, and grew up some years in a fairly cold area, the concern I have about varying cryo treatment is the difference between passive cryo, and active cryo therapies involving exertion. This because of the well-known relationship between cold and heart attacks stemming from exercise with cold, often seen in snow shoveling [1], [2].

- serpix 5y agoSnow shoveling is a strenuous exercise and gets the heart pumping fast. Temperature doesn't mean that much while doing hard workouts outside. Last winter I was drenched in sweat while shoveling my yard and it was -15c outside. Only wore slim pants and long sleeve shirt.
