This episode is brought to you by:FILTEROPTIX: Save 15% off with code SOEBERG https://filteroptix.com/ In this episode of the Reset Lab Podcast, Dr. Susanna Søberg — PhD in metabolism and founder of the Søberg Institute — explores how cold exposure impacts your physiology, metabolism, and stress response.

Dr. Søberg shares the personal story that inspired her scientific career — her mother’s reversal of type 2 diabetes — and how that journey led her to study cold and heat exposure as powerful tools for health and longevity.

You’ll learn what really happens in your body when you enter cold water — from the cold shock response and neurotransmitter activation to brown fat metabolism and hormonal adaptation. She also explains how repeated cold exposure builds stress resilience, improves insulin sensitivity, and enhances mood, focus, and energy.

Plus, you’ll get a one-page practical protocol at the end of the episode — a clear plan you can start using this week to safely adapt your body to cold and harness the benefits.DOWNLOAD PDF from today's episode: Cold Exposure & Physiology: https://soeberginstitute.com/pages/reset-lab-podcast?utm_campaign=pod_ep4_coldexposure________________________________________What You’ll Learn• What happens inside your body during the cold shock response• How short cold exposure trains your stress response and nervous system• The truth about cortisol — and why temporary spikes aren’t dangerous• How cold activates brown fat and boosts insulin sensitivity• Why your body composition, not your gender, determines your response• The Scandinavian secret to building resilience — starting from birth________________________________________Join the ConversationWhat part of cold exposure do you want to understand better — adaptation, metabolism, or stress?Comment below and let me know.Subscribe – it’s free, and you’ll never miss an episode.________________________________________Follow Dr. Søberg atWebsite: https://soeberginstitute.com/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/susanna_soeberg/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/susannasoeberg/ Twitter https://x.com/SusannaSberg1 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@susanna_soebergLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanna-s%C3%B8berg-phd-9a924717/ ________________________________________DISCLAIMERThe content in this podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have heard on the podcast or on my website.

Stress and chronic inflammation are silent roadblocks to weight loss — and most people don’t even know it.

In this episode of the Reset Lab Podcast, Dr. Søberg explains how stress chemistry, hormones, and inflammation trap your metabolism in “fight mode” — and what science says you can do to reverse it naturally.

You’ll learn how chronic stress signals your body to hold onto fat, what inflammation really is, and how to use practical, evidence-based tools like slow nasal breathing, movement, cold and heat exposure, and sleep to restore your body’s balance.

This episode will completely change how you think about stress, metabolism, and weight loss.

You wake up, eat healthy, sleep eight hours, even exercise—and still feel exhausted.You’re not lazy, and your body isn’t broken. In this episode metabolic scientist Dr. Susanna Søberg explains what’s really happening inside your cells when you “do everything right” but still have no energy.

Learn how your mitochondria—your body’s tiny energy factories—respond to stress, nutrition, movement, and temperature, and how to train them to make more energy instead of draining it.From antioxidants and exercise to cold exposure and nervous system balance, this episode gives you a clear, science-backed roadmap to rebuild real energy from within.________________________________________In this episode• The real biology of energy and how mitochondria create it• Why stress, glucose swings, and sleep debt drain your power• How cold exposure and “good stress” (hormesis) build new mitochondria• The best antioxidant-rich foods to support your cells• How breathwork and nervous-system balance restore energy• The Energize Protocol — your free step-by-step guide________________________________________Download the free Energize ProtocolDownload it HERE: https://soeberginstitute.com/pages/re... ________________________________________Chapters0:00 Intro — Doing everything right but still tired3:00 The biology of energy: mitochondria 1018:00 Stress & sugar — how they drain your ATP12:00 Antioxidants and mitochondrial protection18:00 Cold exposure & brown fat activation23:00 Exercise and mitochondrial biogenesis28:00 Nervous-system balance & breathwork34:00 The Energize Protocol summary38:00 Closing — your body isn’t broken________________________________________Join the ConversationWhat part of your metabolism do you want to understand better — fat burning, hormones, or energy regulation?Comment below and let me know.Subscribe – it’s free and you’ll never miss an episode.________________________________________Follow Dr. Søberg atWebsite: https://soeberginstitute.com/ Instagram   / susanna_soeberg   Facebook   / susannasoeberg   Twitter https://x.com/SusannaSberg1 TikTok   / susanna_soeberg  LinkedIn   / susanna-s%c3%b8berg-phd-9a924717   ________________________________________DISCLAIMERThe content in this podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have heard on the podcast or on my website.

Are you stuck in sugar-burning mode?
It’s easy to feel frustrated when your body doesn’t respond the way it used to — when energy dips, hunger strikes, and weight won’t shift no matter how much effort you put in.
But what if the problem isn’t your willpower at all — what if it’s your metabolism trying to protect you?

In this first episode of The Reset Lab Podcast, Dr. Susanna Søberg, metabolic scientist and founder of the Søberg Institute, explores what it really means to have a “healthy metabolism.”

- with Dr. Susanna Søberg, PhD in MetabolismChronic stress is the #1 killer in the world. It silently fuels today’s deadliest diseases—heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer, infections, and dementia. At the root of it all is chronic stress: it drives inflammation, weakens the immune system, and accelerates aging.

But here’s the truth: not all stress is bad. The right kind of stress can build resilience and boost longevity—if you know how to use it.

I’m Dr. Susanna Søberg, scientist and founder of Søberg Institute and Thermalist®, known from the Huberman Lab Podcast and author of Winter Swimming. I’ve dedicated my career to studying how cold, heat, exercise, sleep, and circadian rhythm affect metabolism, inflammation, and stress regulation.

In the Reset Lab Podcast, you’ll learn how to use simple, science-backed tools to:
• Lower chronic stress and inflammation
• Improve sleep and mental clarity
• Balance hormones and metabolism
• Boost energy, resilience, and longevity

We’ll dive into:
– How to use heat and cold exposure for better health
– The real link between stress and weight gain
– Why you feel tired all the time—and how to fix it
– The truth about women’s physiology and recovery

Cold exposure activates your stress response — but is that a bad thing?In this video, Dr. Susanna Søberg, PhD in Metabolism and founder of the Søberg Institute, explains what really happens to cortisol during a cold plunge. You’ll learn why cortisol isn’t the “enemy” — it’s an essential hormone that gives you energy, focus, and resilience — and how cold exposure helps regulate it.Dr. Søberg also breaks down what happens once your body adapts to cold exposure, how timing matters (morning vs evening), and what women should consider during different phases of the hormonal cycle. What You’ll Learn• What cortisol actually does — and why we need it• How cold plunges affect cortisol levels short- and long-term• The difference between healthy and chronic stress• What happens once you adapt to cold exposure• Practical timing tips for women• How to build resilience without burning out your system________________________________________Join the ConversationWhat part of cold exposure do you want to understand better — adaptation, metabolism, or stress?Comment below and let me know.Subscribe – it’s free, and you’ll never miss an episode.________________________________________Follow Dr. Søberg atWebsite: https://soeberginstitute.com/ Instagram   / susanna_soeberg   Facebook   / susannasoeberg   Twitter https://x.com/SusannaSberg1 TikTok   / susanna_soeberg  LinkedIn   / susanna-s%c3%b8berg-phd-9a924717   ________________________________________DISCLAIMERThe content in this podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have heard on the podcast or on my website.
