Plasma noradrenaline and dopamine concentrations were increased by 530% and by 250% respectively, while diuresis increased by 163% (more than at 32°C).
Human physiological responses to immersion into water of different temperatures - European Journal of Applied Physiology
To differentiate between the effect of cold and hydrostatic pressure on hormone and cardiovascular functions of man, a group of young men was examined during 1-h head-out immersions in water of different temperatures (32°C, 20°C and 14°C). Immersion in water at 32°C did not change rectal...

Building that dopamine baseline is another good strategy. Cold exposure such as a cold shower or a cold plunge can help raise your dopamine baseline. Cold exposure has been a health and wellness solution for as long as history has been documented. It’s been most recently been popularized by Wim Hof, also known as ‘The Iceman’. He developed protocols for handling extreme cold including breathing techniques I wrote about in my article, Time to Take A Breath.
According to Huberman, studies have shown that cold exposure can have the same increase in dopamine levels as cocaine, but without the corresponding drop below baseline, aka the crash. In fact, it helps strengthen that baseline. Wim Hof has shown that cold exposure has created an array of benefits in his autonomic nervous system and immune system.

Dopamine is one of the most powerful molecules we all have inside of ourselves. Learning more about dopamine is essential for performing at our best. Or as Stanford’s Dr. Andrew Huberman said, how we leverage dopamine is very powerful skill. Managing our baseline dopamine is the key, but how do we d
