Episode 211: The Benefits of Cold Exposure with Jennifer Richardson


Listen Later

There are so many benefits to deliberate cold exposure, but the one you might find surprising is the potential impact it can have on your alcohol-free journey.

Today’s guest is Jennifer Richardson, a registered holistic nutritionist, mood coach, deliberate cold exposure facilitator, and founder of Cold Community NORTH, a company that organizes cold exposure and contrast therapy events and retreats in Canada.

If you’ve ever been curious about building cold exposure into a regular practice, Jennifer answers all kinds of questions. She talks about its physical and mental benefits – from reducing inflammation to increasing dopamine levels – and the incredible impact it’s made on her own life, helping her through sobriety. 

Personally, Karolina has also benefited from cold immersion. It’s an amazing tool that can help you become healthier, happier, and more resilient no matter where you are in life – and it’s also a practice she’ll be incorporating in the upcoming Euphoric Costa Rica Retreat!

 

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Jennifer’s story: her entrance into the nutrition and mental health field for her own wellness, and the impact cold plunges and cold exposure have had on her sobriety
  • The practice of cold exposure or cold immersion and how to get started, from cold plunges and cold showers to stepping outside during cold weather
  • Mental benefits of cold exposure: increases resilience, boosts mood and dopamine levels, regulates nervous system, helps you sit with stress, can help with sobriety
  • Physical benefits of cold exposure: how it eases aches and pains, reduces inflammation, increases cardiovascular health, and increases metabolism
  • Cold immersion recommendations for men vs. women, how to practice cold exposure safely, and when to avoid cold immersion
  • Contrast therapy and how to use breath work and movement in your cold exposure experience
