Thermogenesis and Metabolic Flux: How Cold Exposure Drives Cellular Substrate Clearance
Cold exposure activates two distinct thermogenic pathways—shivering muscle contraction and brown fat uncoupling—that rapidly burn glucose and fatty acids.

Sauna has population-scale data behind it. Cold exposure has enthusiasm, real mechanisms, and much thinner outcome evidence — and one interaction worth knowing.
