Providing knowledge & equipment for empowering you to take charge of your health with cold plunge therapy.
Cold plunging with your partner triggers the exact same neurochemicals as falling in love. Ice baths boost dopamine and norepinephrine by 3-4x (romantic love), increase testosterone when followed by exercise (lust), and activate oxytocin pathways (attachment). The research…
@amerix would be proud Dipping at 8 degree cold water to reset your body
The sympathetic division of the central nervous system conducts the "fight or flight" response to danger. However, the parasympathetic division of the central nervous system conducts the "rest and digest" functions throughout the body. Vagus nerve stimulation can shift the body…
Mitochondria need magnesium and giving them enough magnesium to synthesize the enzymes necessary for metabolism will improve mitochondrial function and may reduce the rate at which they are damaged. However, there's something even more powerful than nutrition that might prove…
Hashimoto's reversal: Miracle, or science? Most medical doctors will tell their Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients that they suffer from a chronic, degenerative, permanent autoimmune disorder that will require a lifetime of prescription medications that will fail to cure the…
Medical doctors would be wise to attend to the analgesic advantages of cold therapy for pain management, even if healing these patients would damage drug company sales. Case studies and clinical trials describing the benefits of cold therapy for management of chronic pain are…
Electromagnetic field (EMF) expert Brian Hoyer tested the electrical properties of the Morozko ice bath for Luke Storey and Ben Greenfield. As he explains in the video above, he discovered the Morozko has "amazing" grounding properties that are beneficial for human health.…
Cold thermogenesis depletes the body of the electrolytes involved in energy metabolism. In one study, subjects were exposed to whole body cryotherapy at -70C for 3 min, while blood concentrations of critical electrolytes were monitored. As expected, the cold stimulated release…
Most people focus on the physical benefits of cold plunges, but the real mental and psychological gains only happen when you make the choice yourself. The therapeutic value comes from voluntary engagement - your brain processes the stress differently when you're in control. The…
3/ Big idea #1: Mitochondria, not the genes, determines if a cell becomes cancerous When cells can’t make energy with oxygen, they switch to the ancient fermentation pathway. Cancer thrives by burning glucose & glutamine without oxygen. Uncontrolled cell growth follows.
Now is a good time to start with cold showers :-) They will just feel like a harsh refreshment and you can carry on until winter comes. Tap water temperature will be lower in winter so all you need to do then is keep going...
Any online articles that claims an "optimum" temperature for an ice bath is wrong, because there is no optimum. There are different temperatures for different purposes, people, and settings. A good rule of thumb when starting out is "Go cold enough to gasp, long enough to…
What happens to brain waves during cold water therapy? Brain waves tested during ice baths show suprising results. When people submerge in freezing water up to their chest, their brain waves immediately drop into a deep meditative state - even calmer than experienced meditators…

Autism originates in mitochondrial impairment during critical phases of neurological development, but it isn't until the child experiences an immunological event (e.g., fever) that the atypical neurology is revealed. That's why some vaxx-injured children regress into autism…
The current consensus is that the origins of autism are complex and multi-factorial. However, there is a simpler explanation that encompasses all other theories. That is, autism originates in mitochondrial impairment. One of the most important risk factors for subsequent…
Does every man over 50 have a prostate problem? At 51, @seagertp had a routine blood test showed PSA levels at 7 ng/mL - twice the normal threshold and potentially indicating prostate cancer. When he started talking to other men his age about their prostate health, almost…
The most important distinction between cryochamber versus ice bath is the risk of frostbite. The much colder temperatures of the cryochamber introduce a risk of frostbite. Because cryochamber temperatures are so cold that they can freeze the skin right off your body, failing to…
A 2015 Nature study found that 8 overweight Type 2 diabetic men showed 43% improvement in glucose sensitivity after just 10 days of mild cold exposure at 60°F. No ice baths or extreme measures - just wearing shorts and t-shirts while sitting around. No drugs, no surgery, no…
