How to Recover Better: Beyond Sleep and Nutrition | #41 ft. Aaron Geiser


Listen Later

In this episode of the Critical Oxygen podcast, Coach Aaron Geiser and I discuss various recovery tactics beyond sleep and nutrition. We explore the benefits of cold plunge therapy, including improved sleep and mental toughness. Heat therapy, such as saunas and hot baths, may also aid in recovery and heat acclimation. Massage therapy and trigger point therapy are effective in releasing tension and improving blood flow. We also explore recovery tactics that help athletes de-stress and increase blood flow to optimize performance.
