Editor, HeatColdLab
Steven is the editor at HeatColdLab. He's into how heat and cold can change the way the body performs and recovers: sauna sessions, ice baths and cold plunges, time outdoors, breathwork. He spends his time digging through the gear, the spec sheets and the studies behind it, so you can make the call with the facts in front of you.
His guides lean on the documents most buyers never get to: manufacturer spec sheets and manuals, electrical requirements, third-party EMF reports and the published research. Unless an article says otherwise, the products he compares weren't physically tested by us. How that works is on our How We Review page, and the team behind the site is on About.
