I'm surprised that there's no coverage on the three physical adaptations being the Endomorph's adaptation to cold, the Ectomorph's adaptation to hot and the Mesomorph's adaptations to competitive moderate temperature environments. But then scientists tend to miss the functional approach.

Found this after looking for info on the wim hof method. Would love to see more scientific views on the topic

My daughter has cold urticaria, I believe it’s coming from her body treating one of the bodies responses as a threat. Likely a chemical that is released during epidermal Vasoconstriction. Can you help point me in what I should look for? (What chemicals are released when skin gets cold?). Thanks for any help

I enjoy cold exposure. I’m sure there are both pros and cons.
