Not all recovery tools are created equal.

In this episode, we take a clear-eyed look at five popular recovery methods that are overhyped, misunderstood, or simply ineffective for most people.

Ice baths, massage guns, static stretching, IV drips, and sauna use all sound impressive, but do they actually improve recovery, performance, or results?

We break down what the evidence really says, when these tools might help, and when they’re just adding stress or distraction without meaningful benefit.

Recovery isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what works.
