Cold Exposure and Light Therapy: Are They Worth The Hype?


Listen Later

If I told you that two super simple things were linked to more energy, better skin, and fat loss, what would you say? Not only that, but they’re shown to help reduce depression, anxiety, your risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

 

Cold exposure and light therapy have been a hot topic for biohacking influencers and medical professionals alike. So, in this latest solo episode, I explore whether these two are really worth the hype. 

 

Could cold exposure and red light therapy be the secret ingredients to increased energy, fat loss, and life extension? Or are they just another flash in the pan of health hacks that are all talk and no substance? 

 

In this episode, I dive into…

(00:01) Exploring the hype around cold and light exposure 

(04:28) The metabolic benefits of cold exposure, at what temperature, and for how long 

(12:16) How cold water exposure impacts neurotransmitters for psychological and physiological health 

(26:11) The benefits of red and near-infrared light for skin health, energy, mood, and disease prevention
