EP 731: Ice, Mind, Body - The Ice Bath Effect


Listen Later

Can three minutes in freezing water reduce inflammation, boost testosterone, and improve your relationships?

We talk with Dr. Thomas Seager, co-founder of Morozko, about the powerful impact of cold plunge therapy on physical and mental wellness. Dr. Seager shares how cold exposure helped him overcome a midlife crisis and prostate health concerns, offering both scientific insight and personal stories. We explore how cold therapy reduces inflammation, supports testosterone levels, and activates the calming dive reflex. The conversation emphasizes the psychological benefits of ice baths, from mental resilience to improved relationships and emotional bonding. Listeners are encouraged to embrace self-experimentation, discomfort, and present-moment awareness as tools for personal growth. Dr. Seager also challenges traditional medical norms, advocating for experience-based wellness decisions.
