One of the biggest mistakes I see people make is training hard while neglecting everything that happens after a tough session.
Short-changing recovery reduces your body's ability to adapt to stress—and that's when energy drops, performance stalls, and injuries start showing up.
This is why I've spent years using deliberate stress-conditioning tools like cold exposure and infrared sauna therapy. When applied consistently, these hormetic stressors (controlled doses of stress that build resilience) can improve circulation, muscle recovery, nervous system regulation, and cortisol balance, making the body more adaptable over time and improving recovery, while also serving as good activity for more intensive rest and recovery days.
The infrared sauna I use at home is the Sunlighten mPulse, which implements something called PulseIQ™ technology to deliver red light plus near-, mid-, and far-infrared wavelengths separately rather than blended into a single output.
That precision matters because each wavelength targets different tissue depths and biological processes, and your body can actually absorb more of it.
