In this episode on cold therapy, I introduced the concept and its growing popularity in modern wellness practices. I explained that cold therapy, involves exposing the body to low temperatures for short durations through methods like cold showers, ice baths, and cryo chambers. I traced its roots back to ancient Greek practices and highlighted its recent resurgence thanks to influencers like Wim Hof and scientific research validating its benefits.

I detailed the benefits of cold showers, which include improved circulation, increased alertness, and mood enhancement. You recommended starting with a normal shower and gradually incorporating 3-6 minutes of cold exposure at the end. I shared my personal routine of alternating one minute front and back for a total of four minutes to ensure full-body exposure.

For cold plunges, I advised immersing in water below 59°F (15°C) for 3-6 minutes. The benefits I mentioned include reduced muscle soreness and inflammation, enhanced mood, and increased production of norepinephrine. I emphasized that cold exposure can strengthen the immune system, enhance metabolism, and even help with pain management by numbing nerve endings.

Lastly, I discussed the mental health benefits of cold therapy, including improved stress adaptation, mood enhancement, and increased focus and energy. I encourage you to start slowly, perhaps with cold showers, and gradually work up to longer durations or cold plunges. I stressed the importance of consistency in making cold therapy a part of one's daily or weekly routine for optimal benefits.
