I've had treatment resistant major depressive disorder for a very long time. I also suffer from insomnia. Ice baths have made a huge difference in my mood and sleep. It's not a silver bullet, but anything that can help you feel better about yourself, more self control, confidence and better sleep is huge. It's a weird thing. I have to talk myself into doing it every time. I don't enjoy the build up, or the bath itself, but I sure feel so much better afterwards.
For those who also haven't heard of brown fat: "Brown fat breaks down blood sugar (glucose) and fat molecules to create heat and help maintain body temperature. Cold temperatures activate brown fat, which leads to various metabolic changes in the body. Most of our fat, however, is white fat, which stores extra energy. Too much white fat builds up in obesity." National Institute of Health
I used to work at a coffee shop and the customers would always ask what I drank because I was always on 10 from like 5am but I don't drink coffee, it was always cold showers at 4am which absolutely sucked I'm too lazy for all that now, but totally cranked me up, I would get out the car Singing and banging my music at 5am, frost everywhere taking my jacket off. Body just gets used to it, discipline! I've been meaning to get back into that rythym it lasts all day. Really difficult to get back into when you can snuggle in bed till the sunrise though! But I'm getting chunky
ik what you mean bro, I do it everyday when I go work at 330 in the 🌄 morning, same here, just got lazy boiling hot water all the time to take warm showers bcuz I have no hot water in my crib, in the beginning it was brutal🥶, now, I just don't give a shit anymore, I just hop in,....but there's a story to that, I remember my pops was telling me when he was young and join the Marines and then Navy Seals, went though all of that training, he told me everything he did in training is all what you Control in ur head, it's all mentally, so I just dug deep and went with it, but..yeah Ik what you mean.
I can imagine doing it, what I can't fathom is getting in with no hesitation, fanfare, exclamation or even really facial expression. Wow, what a level of determination.
How he's not screaming, getting into that ice bath is beyond me.... I yell, stifle my screams, and laugh out loud taking cold showers.... Wife thinks I'm crazy in that bathroom....
Our bodies are evolved to deal with extremes, it just takes time getting used to it. I used to not be able to tolerate the cold but then ended up working 5 winters in the sub arctic in northern Canada with night shifts. Was practically plowing snow back home in my T-Shirt.
I've been finishing my showers with cold for about 2 minutes for 8 months of the year for about 3 decades now and I just turned 60. It just made me feel better, so I stuck with it.
Doin the same kind of thing for long time. As i understood Huberman advising the same at the and of the clip? My 7 yrs old daughter got used to it and askin me to shock her wth cold water everytime we gave her a shower😅
@@svetusik72 yes and occasionally during winter months when feeling brave. I live in Australia and it doesn't get that cold in most places during winter.
I did it for the first time today, 16 degrees out. Did 3 minutes. A very intense feeling, crazy how your body goes into survival instincts to protect your vital organs in extreme temperatures like that.
I used to do the same after I no longer had access to a sauna and cold lake or snow plunge as a teen and young adult. Going back to it now @ 70! Pray my heart doesn’t give out!!
Why would the snow even matter when you are plunged into freezing water? Getting out out probably feels a little warmer until the wind blows. I remember submerging my leg into freezing water before I was taped up for soccer and again after our practice and games. After 30 minutes my leg was useless until it warmed back up but, I definitely did not feel the cold weather as much while playing.
This is really interesting because as a young fella (40 yrs ago) I could not resist the temptation to go for a dip at any time of the year, two I can recall was swimming in a river in the high country in the middle of winter and one swimming in the ocean, same in middle of winter. The ocean one was that cold it was like geting hit with a thousand tiny hammers, but got used to it after a short time and the feeling afterwards was exhilarating.
Fun little fact for ya, salt really wants to mix with water so it will sap heat for from any available source to stop from freezing, Thus the ocean feels colder.
It worked for me, I didn't get into an ice bath, but for August to December of 2021 and part of January 2022, I was without gas because I couldn't afford the bill. So I went without hot water during those months, I started out with 5 minute cold showers 4-5 times a week, after a month I was taking 25 minute cold showers 4-5 times a week. I felt energized after each shower, and I kick started my fat loss combined with 3-4 workouts (progressive weight lifting) at 1 hour a session, I went from 278 lbs. to 232 and kept it off most of 2022.
Nice. Making the best of a bad situation is what some people out there need to learn. Sometimes downfalls in life are blessings in disguise. Now i need to work on MY discipline to start doing cold therapy, thanks for making me feel bad.😂
Years ago the coal mine i worked at didn't repair the showe hot water heaters. I eventually got used to the ground temp water. I did this 3 months. I was completely unfazed by cold.
No one is talking about the benefits of hot cold cycling! Hot as you can stand shower for 2 minutes then cold as possible water for 2 minutes then back to heat and then cold again. The 2nd 2 cycles are easy. The heat forces the blood to the skin surface and the cold forces blood back into the core. This back and forth movement really helps heal diseases and helps recovery after hard workouts. It may not be the right thing to do after an injury! But it’s great for systemic sickness such as cold or flu etc.
I take cold showers daily and never heard of this technique. Would you mind listing off all the diseases you're aware it helps to heal from? Thanks for sharing BTW.
Yeah I do that in the shower at the end of a hot shower..I turn the water all the way to cold and hold as long as I can.than get out. Now I'm gonna try the cycling and go back n forth..thanks I thought I was the only one who did this in the shower..I just loved how it felt to go cold after a hor shower..just like a kid jumping back n forth from the pool and spa
His mental game is crazy. There’s no hesitation. He’s trained his brain not to pause when you step outside in shorts at below 35F, not to pause at the snow falling, not to pause at the touch of the water.
@@kimbarsegyan indeed. I aim to start doing this soon. I take cold showers every day and yes this gets easier. Also builds resistance to the common cold because the cold stimulates leukocytes in your blood that resist it. You want discipline and willpower, do this lol
I couldn't do it I ware 2 sets of thermals and 1 pair of pants and I live in florida. after braking my back and paralyzed I can't handle the cold or slightly cold. this I would or my body would instantly lock up.
I believe this 💯 and every winter I swim in my very cold pool and it did alleviate so much pain but 2 years later I can’t stand the cold. Used to only take cold showers all year round but can’t stand to be fully clothed in the cold! Look at this guy though…he obviously pushes through to stay healthy no matter how bad he feels and it just confirms some people are freaking super heroes and some are just NOT, like myself! Weak and folds under pressure or discomfort! Don’t let yourself become 50 and be like me! Please I’m begging you, do something now before it’s too late! ❤
@@ohgeazy Hey Cutie, its ok. I know the cold showers are hard, give it another shot. Don't be a hater, its just a different flavor of being a btch, good luck to you.
Hang your towel beside the shower and dry off inside the shower before you open the curtain. The heat from your shower is held inside while you dry off, dry your feet as you step out. You're welcome!
Yep this is spot on, here in the freezing UK weather, after a sweat soaked workout, I go in and out the sauna/steam room while still in my thermal work out clothes, then walk home in the freezing icy temps for about 10mins completely soaked head to toe. After my hot and cold shower at home, the recovery and healing starts to kick in right away, almost no soreness, and no flu, fever or injuries for 15 years straight.
@@10fourrubberduck99 lol, I'm sure it sounds complete cap, but I only started doing this coz I didn't like to use the unhygenic showers at the gym, so it kinda naturally fell into habit, you gotta try it at least once yourself
@@ariesone3221 mostly a high carb, moderate protein and low fat. I don't count calories, but the only macro I calculate is Fat, and I try not to consume more than 60g of total dietary fat in the entire day.
This just inspired me to slowly start taking colder and colder showers until I can start taking ice baths because I need and want to step out of my comfort zone.
rarely comment on videos but just wanted to say, you are capable of jumping in an ice bath right now. if you want to step out of your comfort zone, then do it and do it boldly
An ex navy seal said this on JRE I believe, to prepare for the cold temperatures and water of the ocean durning BUDS. He said it always felt as cold as the last time lol just a mentality I guess
@@enemyspyplane I know I am capable of doing that but I want to build my tolerance up to it in a smarter way like the guy in this video how he can go in that ice bath and not make a single face expression even if it’s freezing.
@@hyderjaved5895 i’ve just recently started to take cold exposure more seriously. i don’t know where you live, but if it’s cold where you are, use a pool near you. at the end of my day i’ll go on a run and then run to, or just drive to an outdoor pool and do it there. i plan on buying one of those $150 stock tanks for the summer months to fill with ice and do it that way
Ive been showering with cold water only for for a couple years now and the benefits are amazing. After I get out I feel like im relaxed with more energy, not only that but my skin gets tight and smooth so I look younger and it keeps me looking lean.
Your entire shower is with cold water or is it right at the end? Say the last 2 minutes As a women there's certain days where there's more attention to grooming/shaving and I can't imagine doing that while the water is cold. 🥶
@@hotrodrounsavill3515 I usually start with cold then hot water for 2 min before i put soap and then end it with cold . It closes the pores and makes me glow
@@codynielsen the clip isn’t very clear.. are we supposed to alternate into heat exposure after? Are we supposed to do it separately at other times? What does heat exposure look like?
My husband and I got ourselves a yearly ticket to the sauna. We go there 1-2 per week for about 1 hour. 2x 15min in a 90 degree hot sauna and fullbody icebaths afterwards. Then about 20min rest in a quiet room on a bed. We feel much better physically and mentally. We haven't gotten sick all year except for some mild colds and overall improved our physique. We didn't know about the dopanine effect before this video. But it really works👌🏻❤️
I respect everybody that take care of themselves physically and mentally. Always grinding, looking for more. I TRULY appreciate that. We need more people that are striving no matter what. Actual body appreciation is to develop a better one. Not because u hate it, but because u love it.
I no longer do this but from the time I was 18 years old until 65 I did a cold vice Bath either cold shower or dip in the ocean... And you said that you do the heat and cold and do cold glass so that you can warm up Yup I would always warm up fast my body would instantly And you said that you do the heat and cold and do cold glass so that you can warm up Yup I would always warm up fast my body would instantly...

Wim Hof is amazing. He's definitely a different kind of duck, but noone who's like everyone else is going to push boundaries & make discoveries. You gotta be "odd" to be number 1!
Um.... will hof is cool and all but um... there is a small country called India. There are a few people in this country. They came up with some stretch exercises and some breathing techniques. I forgot the name anyway. Oh yeah YOGA. They sit in the flowing river all day long with the glacier ice all around. 12 hours. They are fine when they get out. Wim hof does horse stance from martial arts and breathes fast. He has nothing on the least talented YOGI. Look into it.
@@jaykiley73 well actually wim hof was inspired by indian breathing techniques. He also said that at some point. Wim hof breathing is so called tummo breathing. It just got more accessible through a white person.
@@baronmunchhausen6682 You are right. White people need help with accessibility. What I'm pointing out is the lack of awareness and depth in the western world at large. One guy (Hof) learns fire breathing and horse stance and charges people to follow his course. No harm. These two small activities change peoples lives. Now imagine if the dam gates were opened and the west adopted more and more techniques and followed from the root. The source! Not just a guy who can make some money but a real teacher who can show you a whole world view shift. A view of being human not a western or white person who needs everything watered down and seemingly empty. Connection to the absolute truth. This is the desire of all people if you follow the why we do this or that. The truth we all search for. If you want to know the truth read 'BHAGAVAT GITA AS IT IS' This is the best copy to read. AS IT IS .. If you need help in this regard just reply and let the truth flow. STEP INTO THE UNKNOWN WITH BRAVERY
Most people have no idea how hard it is doing what he is doing…I set up a stock tank the exact same way he has two days ago, filled it, and let it sit in -10. I got in it this morning and lasted one minute…the level of intensity is like nothing else. No drug compares to it
You gotta push past that. It takes me 7 minutes for the pain to subside then it’s totally relaxing. There’s the initial shock, then ankles wrists and clavicles ache like crazy for several minutes, then nothing. I have done 20 minute sessions many times before I really feel my body temp drop and start to shiver. My baths have only gotten as low as 39 degrees Fahrenheit though and there’s a major difference in ten degree intervals of temp so i can’t speak for your specific situation. All I can say is I’m a totally average dude and i still fear the initial dunk and I still hate the aches yet somehow doing it just gives me relaxation, satisfaction, and a little confidence.
@@alexnelson09 I’m in central Alberta. It gets down to -36 this week….trust me when I say it hits different here. I was doing dunks at 29-32 Fahrenheit and it was too cold
I think he does calisthenics, this develops more fast twish muscle or muscle fiber type 2. The built looks slightly different than a body builder. If I were young again instead of body building I would've done workouts to develop more of this type of muscle fiber, it makes you a lot stronger. Thanks for your comment it made me think
@@Costello64 Great info on calisthenics bro! Never knew about those benefits. I'm 32 and stopped lifting and have been focused on push ups and pull us to not overload my muscles, joints, tendons, etc since I don't play sports anymore. Any recommendations on exercises or websites to learn about what you just mentioned?
Cool to see Americans loving ice baths. It's kinda weird bc its so common here. Remember granda used to force me and my brother to take ice baths. But when i turned 15, i started to do it with friends once a week. Everybody should try it, if only once.
It’s funny. The idea of going into the cold now amazes me, it’s something I don’t mind doing. I indulge in it almost every day. I live in southern Norway, and the sea temperature is around 0 degrees Celsius. When I drop into the cold I don’t even start breathing heavily. It’s just normal, and I’m wearing a t-shirt when it’s cold. It’s only natural and healthy! Do you wanna know the hardest part of ice bathing? Not telling everyone about it… hahah
Guess I can consider myself a fortunate one. I'm from Latin America (from a hot coastal city in Colombia, to be precise), but thankfully I inherited my German ancestors' cold resilience. I spent winter season in Germany and I loved every second of it!!!
@@arturorocasimmonds1865 it doesn't work like that, and germany doesn't get that cold either, unless you're up in the mountains or except maybe a few occasions
does it take your focus from triggers? because I have PTSD and use to live in ice baths when playing football, but I can only think it would help change your focus and mental... my guess anyways
@@jeromegarcia5396 i feel like the physical pain it brings along can help you relate and work through the pain of past experiences, if you let the two pains connect. As emotional pain of the heart does manifest into physical pain in many ways, so the two are connected
@@plug481 IDK, Pain was my release in playing football before CTE was a thing, being able to physically annihilate someone was my therapy, feeling pain is always a constant, stopping it is not. My PTSD is from watching my mother taken from me and I was kidnapped and trafficked until 6 years old. I'm gifted with a all fight no flight type of worthless blessing from God, it's completely useless when wanting a normal life, or relationships... By 17 I was so rage full lifting weights was my thing and I power cleaned 285 a school record then. Today I use cannabis to keep the chill, and keep it copesthetic, everything else is destructive... But I haven't sat in the bath for a good 25 plus years and thinking about it I can see myself getting triggered and jumping in a bath and instantly changing my tune 🤣
I love cold tubs Whenever my wife and I go to a hot springs, I'll spend 3-5 minutes in the hot springs and then 20-30 mins in the cold tubs (1 degree Celsius) feels too damn good.. everything just feels better
@@AB-nd3ji I didn't, my dad had an old drum, I filled it full of water 👍🏼 you could probably purchase a tote or drum or something similar off of Facebook market place
@@zenfulpariah2276 😂🤦🏼♂️ what are you, cold blooded? Not at all. Just because YOU can't, doesn't mean no one else can. 20-30 mins. I'm always running hot and am usually sweating in places where people are comfortable. Stop claiming things as if they're facts, when you're just ignorant.
Are they really? I mean like... Of course they are because, WHAT THIS GUY SAID^^ but still lol, I hadn't heard that. RIDICULOUS! But so is everything.. 😔
It puts your body in shock, thats why additional energy. Its like saying running from stray dogs every morning is great for me, gives me so much energy I don’t even drink coffee anymore
Are you asking me@@MissWobbles? Tbh I don't feel better for hours, it doesn't work like a drug for me. Personally I like pushing myself and enjoy a feeling of accomplishment. If it has heath benefits, the better.
@@MissWobbles its meant to trigger an altered state of awareness & stress response. The brain then has to prioritise certain functions as it senses imminent threat. Then with a sustained length of time in the water the brain makes certain alterations to the stress response so you calm down. Which eventually programmes the brain to cope much better under stressful situations. Less strain on your heart etc. In the long run it makes your system able to run more efficiently with less steep spikes in hormones & more able to stay grounded & more focused in the Freeze, Fight, Flight state. At least that's as much as I know at this point in time.
Having a body like that, takes a lot of work. I can just imagine what your work week looks like not only with fitness. I be trying to get to it and the gym is what sets me straight when I’m getting in a funk n shit💯 respect brother
All the more reason to do it.. it’s all mental fam u can do it if you say u can do it and NOTHING ELSE.. I believe in you more than u fam, don’t let that happen.. no go do what u said u cant 🧊🍻🫡🫡
I've started with cold showers this summer. The coolest water that I had was 25 deg Celsius. It was damn cold freezing temperature for me. A couple of months later, now I'm showering with 10 deg Celsius and I'm pretty comfortable when I'm doing it. Start With something that you could tolerate for a week, and start gradually to lower the temperature in the further seasons. And you will see that you can do this. 😉 And relax when you are doing it. After the sessions look into the mirror and smile to yourself. It helps
As a finnish guy I just want to point out that you shouldn't dip your head under the water if it's freezing outside and you are staying there for a while. Also I'd recommend using a beanie. :)
Honestly thats the most impressive thing. Utter contempt for the temp difference. Though looking at the background, the water could very well be warmer than the air.
@@quasa0 so as I’ve gotten older I’ve started to develop ptsd from some car accidents and it opened up a worm hole of emotions where I stated to dwell on my past when I was younger out in the streets messing around with drugs and gangs. I’m clean now but just remembering those crazy times in my life would lead me into a a massive panic attack. Sometimes I would feel on edge for days at a time. I couldn’t turn it off. No matter what I would do. I tried everything from group therapy, to mens groups about anxiety, therapist, counselors, doctors. It even started messing with my appetite. Then covid hit and everything just got worse. I’ve always been a very social person. I never had problems making friends or talking to women. Covid opened up another can of worms for me and all of sudden I have social anxiety now to. I remember my buddy had a lil kickback at his new apt and when more people started showing up that I didn’t know. A huge panic attack came on and I thought it was a heart attack man it was so damn scary. My heart rate was like 150 and I was sitting down not moving at all. I had to leave I didn’t even tell anyone I just texted my buddy like hey man I had to go something came up. Anyway sorry for the long comment but one day at a therapist appt. She taught me some breathing techniques to help me slow my heart down when a panic attack happened. It helped when the panic attacks where small but it did nothing to the big ones. But I started doing more research into it cause i knew I was on to something now that I knew I could do something to help the small ones. That’s when I came across wim hof! Downloaded his app he has and I couldn’t believe how well his breathing techniques have helped me. I’m able to interact socially again with other people. I can go out feeling more confident now that I have something to defend myself from these massive panic attacks. Just knowing that simple fact as helped me so much that I rarely get panic attacks anymore! And when I do get one, which still happens on occasion, I immediately do 3-4 rounds of his breathing techniques and it almost goes away instantly. I highly recommend this for everybody! What’s even crazier is I’m a smoker 🚬 (yeah I know I need to quit 🤮 trying to!) and the first time I tried his technique. I was gasping for air after like 30 seconds of holding my breath lol 🤦♂️ after 3 days of doing 3-5 rounds in the morning and night. I could my breathe 🧘♂️ for up to 3 minutes! I definitely suggest doing beginner rounds first so you can get used to it. Wim hof has some UA-cam videos where you can follow along. But I suggest downloading the app! It’s an amazing application. Again sorry for the long comment lol! Much love!
I have 3 cold showers a week and I feel absolutely amazing after it. My anxiety has just gone away. I use tepid at first for hair wash then blast myself with cold. It really does work.
I’ve been doing this for years I have a steam room in my house and I do a submerged bath after the steam room and repeat it a few times it is the fountain of youth not joking I’m 31 and I still look like I’m 17 !!😎👏🔥
I agree with you totally. I do sauna for 4 sets of 30 minute intervals with a 5-10 mins break and with a 20 min break between the hours. By the studies and what Dr. Huberman teaches, a neurologist at Stanford, it 16×'s the hgh benefit.
I swim 15 minutes in the ocean every day. The water is 14-15°. Its gotten so that I don't get cold shock or pain--sometimes the head for 2 or 3 minutes. Swear by it: got about 25 different benefits for me.
I just finished eight months of chemo, 25 radiation, 4 surgeries all in the past nine months. and now immunotherapy . My body felt totally destroyed. I started taking ice showers. We're on well water and the ground is frozen so we truly have extremely cold water. Now I can handle it longer and longer. I can't believe the difference. I have much less joint pain, more energy and far less depression. I had terrible sciatica from the radiation and chemo and it's almost all gone since ice showers. I tried an ice bath but I'm not quite there yet. That really was hard and something I need to work up to . However, I have one of these same black tubs in my backyard. I'm going to scrub and bleach it all out and see if I can use it for an ice bath at some point
I’m a desert dweller and if it gets lower than 60, I’m putting on ALL my layers! My 30 seconds of cold water before I turn the shower off feels like a blizzard to me!
@RealKey it's gotta be in the 5-10 min range. Most of us been programed to take hot showers our whole lives but 30-40 minutes that's where bacteria thrives, I take 2 min of hot shower to get the scum off but no more than that
Started it this week with what I got. Super hot shower and after a few minutes of hot shower dial it down to freezing temperature for a couple of minutes. After a few seconds of cold water I start getting f comfortable with it and stay for 2 to 3 minutes. It’s been 4 days. Hoping to get used to it. I can definitely feel the benefits.
I'm ok with my nice and warm bath, thank you... there is enough suffering in my life, I dont need to add one more. But if it works for you... well, keep it up.
@@Mrraerae sorry I forgot to mention after your cold exposure. When you are out of water. That's when you immediately do those movements to warm up and push the blood to your extremities until you are warmed back up again.
I’ve done ice baths for years. Especially after hard training while military. Just recently bought an actual ice tub for the back porch. Been working up in time and I feel after about 2-3 min it’s easy to stay in. For recovery there is literally nothing as good, as far as I know. I can barely be walking from training and take an ice bath and feel like I haven’t done anything hard the next day. It’s insane.
For 90% of people, that’s too lean for walking around weight. Most people can’t sustain this if they had it. Add about 3-8 lbs of fat and that’s probably more doable.
The hardest part about taking a ice bath, is not telling anyone that you've taken the ice bath
Yeah I’ve never managed 😂
That's so clever, I bet you came up with that all on your own.
If you found a stock you really believed in that would be great for all your friends to invest in would you tell them about it?

Cold showers….or blow showers?❄️
@@lemonpepperlou2708what’re blow showers?
@@taysenna8025cocaine
I can imagine doing it, what I can't fathom is getting in with no hesitation, fanfare, exclamation or even really facial expression. Wow, what a level of determination.
My body just went into shock by just looking... that's crazyyy!!! God bless you brother. Truly amazing!!!
How he's not screaming, getting into that ice bath is beyond me.... I yell, stifle my screams, and laugh out loud taking cold showers.... Wife thinks I'm crazy in that bathroom....
U could do the exact same thing he did & not react. Our bodies can take extreme conditions compared to our minds. Just gotta get mentally stronger
Our bodies are evolved to deal with extremes, it just takes time getting used to it. I used to not be able to tolerate the cold but then ended up working 5 winters in the sub arctic in northern Canada with night shifts. Was practically plowing snow back home in my T-Shirt.
I just start hyperventilating lol
@@Peglegkickboxer Literally did this yesterday but -5c is w/e around here so eh. I'd be pressed to do it any colder though lol.

I've been finishing my showers with cold for about 2 minutes for 8 months of the year for about 3 decades now and I just turned 60. It just made me feel better, so I stuck with it.
I just started that last week
I do the same but alll year round especially on the coldest days in which I have to force myself but it’s almost like a dare!
Doin the same kind of thing for long time. As i understood Huberman advising the same at the and of the clip?
My 7 yrs old daughter got used to it and askin me to shock her wth cold water everytime we gave her a shower😅
Which 8 months of the year? The warmest?
@@svetusik72 yes and occasionally during winter months when feeling brave. I live in Australia and it doesn't get that cold in most places during winter.
I did it for the first time today, 16 degrees out. Did 3 minutes. A very intense feeling, crazy how your body goes into survival instincts to protect your vital organs in extreme temperatures like that.
But it wasnt 16 degrees inside your house
I turn the shower to cold for less than a minute before I get out...close enough
I used to do the same after I no longer had access to a sauna and cold lake or snow plunge as a teen and young adult. Going back to it now @ 70! Pray my heart doesn’t give out!!
@@bunnytoes7200Hey, awesome! Ease into it, you got this!
11 minutes per week. Maybe I can increase brown fat another way? Best I've done is cool shower water. But Im there for the hottub!
😂😂😂 same 💯
lol me toooo
Woooowwww, the mental fortitude is off the charts. 🐐🐐 even while it was snowing!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That's what I'm thinking....there literally SNOW ALL AROUND....WOW
Why would the snow even matter when you are plunged into freezing water? Getting out out probably feels a little warmer until the wind blows. I remember submerging my leg into freezing water before I was taped up for soccer and again after our practice and games. After 30 minutes my leg was useless until it warmed back up but, I definitely did not feel the cold weather as much while playing.
This is really interesting because as a young fella (40 yrs ago) I could not resist the temptation to go for a dip at any time of the year, two I can recall was swimming in a river in the high country in the middle of winter and one swimming in the ocean, same in middle of winter. The ocean one was that cold it was like geting hit with a thousand tiny hammers, but got used to it after a short time and the feeling afterwards was exhilarating.
Fun little fact for ya, salt really wants to mix with water so it will sap heat for from any available source to stop from freezing,
Thus the ocean feels colder.

It worked for me, I didn't get into an ice bath, but for August to December of 2021 and part of January 2022, I was without gas because I couldn't afford the bill. So I went without hot water during those months, I started out with 5 minute cold showers 4-5 times a week, after a month I was taking 25 minute cold showers 4-5 times a week. I felt energized after each shower, and I kick started my fat loss combined with 3-4 workouts (progressive weight lifting) at 1 hour a session, I went from 278 lbs. to 232 and kept it off most of 2022.
Nice. Making the best of a bad situation is what some people out there need to learn. Sometimes downfalls in life are blessings in disguise. Now i need to work on MY discipline to start doing cold therapy, thanks for making me feel bad.😂

Years ago the coal mine i worked at didn't repair the showe hot water heaters. I eventually got used to the ground temp water. I did this 3 months. I was completely unfazed by cold.

No one is talking about the benefits of hot cold cycling! Hot as you can stand shower for 2 minutes then cold as possible water for 2 minutes then back to heat and then cold again. The 2nd 2 cycles are easy. The heat forces the blood to the skin surface and the cold forces blood back into the core. This back and forth movement really helps heal diseases and helps recovery after hard workouts. It may not be the right thing to do after an injury! But it’s great for systemic sickness such as cold or flu etc.
I take cold showers daily and never heard of this technique. Would you mind listing off all the diseases you're aware it helps to heal from? Thanks for sharing BTW.
Yeah I do that in the shower at the end of a hot shower..I turn the water all the way to cold and hold as long as I can.than get out.
Now I'm gonna try the cycling and go back n forth..thanks I thought I was the only one who did this in the shower..I just loved how it felt to go cold after a hor shower..just like a kid jumping back n forth from the pool and spa
His mental game is crazy. There’s no hesitation. He’s trained his brain not to pause when you step outside in shorts at below 35F, not to pause at the snow falling, not to pause at the touch of the water.
Gets easy after a while. Being tough is a way of life.
I'll take that as a compliment.
I didn't realize that was exceptional, but that's good to know.
@@kimbarsegyan indeed. I aim to start doing this soon. I take cold showers every day and yes this gets easier. Also builds resistance to the common cold because the cold stimulates leukocytes in your blood that resist it. You want discipline and willpower, do this lol
I couldn't do it I ware 2 sets of thermals and 1 pair of pants and I live in florida. after braking my back and paralyzed I can't handle the cold or slightly cold. this I would or my body would instantly lock up.
Not to pause before the final boss.
I believe this 💯 and every winter I swim in my very cold pool and it did alleviate so much pain but 2 years later I can’t stand the cold. Used to only take cold showers all year round but can’t stand to be fully clothed in the cold! Look at this guy though…he obviously pushes through to stay healthy no matter how bad he feels and it just confirms some people are freaking super heroes and some are just NOT, like myself! Weak and folds under pressure or discomfort! Don’t let yourself become 50 and be like me! Please I’m begging you, do something now before it’s too late! ❤

I don’t even like taking showers in the wintertime because of how cold it is for those couple seconds when you get out while wet before drying off lol
Hang your towel beside the shower and dry off inside the shower before you open the curtain. The heat from your shower is held inside while you dry off, dry your feet as you step out. You're welcome!
@@SouthernMiss850 'The heat from your shower'? he's talking about taking cold showers

Finish off with a cold shower at the end, just 20-30 sec. It has at least the effect of waking you up and start the cAMP system in the morning.
@@mllermusic3979 no he wasn't.
Yep this is spot on, here in the freezing UK weather, after a sweat soaked workout, I go in and out the sauna/steam room while still in my thermal work out clothes, then walk home in the freezing icy temps for about 10mins completely soaked head to toe. After my hot and cold shower at home, the recovery and healing starts to kick in right away, almost no soreness, and no flu, fever or injuries for 15 years straight.

Wim Hof is amazing. He's definitely a different kind of duck, but noone who's like everyone else is going to push boundaries & make discoveries. You gotta be "odd" to be number 1!
Um.... will hof is cool and all but um... there is a small country called India. There are a few people in this country. They came up with some stretch exercises and some breathing techniques. I forgot the name anyway. Oh yeah YOGA. They sit in the flowing river all day long with the glacier ice all around. 12 hours. They are fine when they get out. Wim hof does horse stance from martial arts and breathes fast. He has nothing on the least talented YOGI. Look into it.
@@jaykiley73 well actually wim hof was inspired by indian breathing techniques. He also said that at some point. Wim hof breathing is so called tummo breathing. It just got more accessible through a white person.
@@baronmunchhausen6682 You are right. White people need help with accessibility. What I'm pointing out is the lack of awareness and depth in the western world at large. One guy (Hof) learns fire breathing and horse stance and charges people to follow his course. No harm. These two small activities change peoples lives. Now imagine if the dam gates were opened and the west adopted more and more techniques and followed from the root. The source! Not just a guy who can make some money but a real teacher who can show you a whole world view shift. A view of being human not a western or white person who needs everything watered down and seemingly empty.

You gotta push past that. It takes me 7 minutes for the pain to subside then it’s totally relaxing. There’s the initial shock, then ankles wrists and clavicles ache like crazy for several minutes, then nothing. I have done 20 minute sessions many times before I really feel my body temp drop and start to shiver. My baths have only gotten as low as 39 degrees Fahrenheit though and there’s a major difference in ten degree intervals of temp so i can’t speak for your specific situation.

Cool to see Americans loving ice baths. It's kinda weird bc its so common here. Remember granda used to force me and my brother to take ice baths. But when i turned 15, i started to do it with friends once a week. Everybody should try it, if only once.
It’s funny. The idea of going into the cold now amazes me, it’s something I don’t mind doing. I indulge in it almost every day. I live in southern Norway, and the sea temperature is around 0 degrees Celsius. When I drop into the cold I don’t even start breathing heavily. It’s just normal, and I’m wearing a t-shirt when it’s cold. It’s only natural and healthy!

@@MissWobbles its meant to trigger an altered state of awareness & stress response.
The brain then has to prioritise certain functions as it senses imminent threat.
Then with a sustained length of time in the water the brain makes certain alterations to the stress response so you calm down.
Which eventually programmes the brain to cope much better under stressful situations.
Less strain on your heart etc.
In the long run it makes your system able to run more efficiently with less steep spikes in hormones & more able to stay grounded & more focused in the Freeze, Fight, Flight state.

I've started with cold showers this summer. The coolest water that I had was 25 deg Celsius. It was damn cold freezing temperature for me. A couple of months later, now I'm showering with 10 deg Celsius and I'm pretty comfortable when I'm doing it. Start With something that you could tolerate for a week, and start gradually to lower the temperature in the further seasons. And you will see that you can do this. 😉 And relax when you are doing it. After the sessions look into the mirror and smile to yourself. It helps

Wim Hof breathing techniques literally saved my life.
What happened?
Russell Brand features Wim Hof often. Great conversations. ❤️
can you describe how they helped u?
@@quasa0 so as I’ve gotten older I’ve started to develop ptsd from some car accidents and it opened up a worm hole of emotions where I stated to dwell on my past when I was younger out in the streets messing around with drugs and gangs. I’m clean now but just remembering those crazy times in my life would lead me into a a massive panic attack. Sometimes I would feel on edge for days at a time. I couldn’t turn it off. No matter what I would do. I tried everything from group therapy, to mens groups about anxiety, therapist, counselors, doctors. It even started messing with my appetite. Then covid hit and everything just got worse. I’ve always been a very social person. I never had problems making friends or talking to women. Covid opened up another can of worms for me and all of sudden I have social anxiety now to. I remember my buddy had a lil kickback at his new apt and when more people started showing up that I didn’t know. A huge panic attack came on and I thought it was a heart attack man it was so damn scary. My heart rate was like 150 and I was sitting down not moving at all. I had to leave I didn’t even tell anyone I just texted my buddy like hey man I had to go something came up.
Anyway sorry for the long comment but one day at a therapist appt. She taught me some breathing techniques to help me slow my heart down when a panic attack happened. It helped when the panic attacks where small but it did nothing to the big ones. But I started doing more research into it cause i knew I was on to something now that I knew I could do something to help the small ones. That’s when I came across wim hof! Downloaded his app he has and I couldn’t believe how well his breathing techniques have helped me. I’m able to interact socially again with other people. I can go out feeling more confident now that I have something to defend myself from these massive panic attacks. Just knowing that simple fact as helped me so much that I rarely get panic attacks anymore! And when I do get one, which still happens on occasion, I immediately do 3-4 rounds of his breathing techniques and it almost goes away instantly.
I highly recommend this for everybody! What’s even crazier is I’m a smoker 🚬 (yeah I know I need to quit 🤮 trying to!) and the first time I tried his technique. I was gasping for air after like 30 seconds of holding my breath lol 🤦♂️ after 3 days of doing 3-5 rounds in the morning and night. I could my breathe 🧘♂️ for up to 3 minutes!
I definitely suggest doing beginner rounds first so you can get used to it. Wim hof has some UA-cam videos where you can follow along. But I suggest downloading the app! It’s an amazing application.
Again sorry for the long comment lol! Much love!
@@jessejamez707 great story. Very inspiring brother❤️
Yo I'm so impressed by the fact he can do this I forgot that he is actually talking
I thought is joe rogan who spoke
@@sergiumata5713 also the guy in the video. They were speaking to each other
The guy speaking is Andrew Huberman on Joe Rogans pod cast
@@codynielsen makes more sense that way
@@codynielsen can you share what your using to hold the cold water please Thanks 👑
I have 3 cold showers a week and I feel absolutely amazing after it. My anxiety has just gone away. I use tepid at first for hair wash then blast myself with cold. It really does work.
I'm gonna start doing this. I don't even sleep with a blanket on. Feels so good
Wait. How is this even possible?
@@heraldarnold437fax, I like being cold, but mf like me, I got a fur blanket with a weighted blanket on top of it
Yeah i rarely ever use a blanket. I run hot in my sleep
this man is going to rule the world.
I’ve been doing this for years I have a steam room in my house and I do a submerged bath after the steam room and repeat it a few times it is the fountain of youth not joking I’m 31 and I still look like I’m 17 !!😎👏🔥
I agree with you totally. I do sauna for 4 sets of 30 minute intervals with a 5-10 mins break and with a 20 min break between the hours. By the studies and what Dr. Huberman teaches, a neurologist at Stanford, it 16×'s the hgh benefit.
I swim 15 minutes in the ocean every day. The water is 14-15°. Its gotten so that I don't get cold shock or pain--sometimes the head for 2 or 3 minutes. Swear by it: got about 25 different benefits for me.
I just finished eight months of chemo, 25 radiation, 4 surgeries all in the past nine months. and now immunotherapy . My body felt totally destroyed. I started taking ice showers. We're on well water and the ground is frozen so we truly have extremely cold water. Now I can handle it longer and longer. I can't believe the difference. I have much less joint pain, more energy and far less depression. I had terrible sciatica from the radiation and chemo and it's almost all gone since ice showers. I tried an ice bath but I'm not quite there yet. That really was hard and something I need to work up to . However, I have one of these same black tubs in my backyard. I'm going to scrub and bleach it all out and see if I can use it for an ice bath at some point
I be a ballerina when that shower water touch my back.. I can’t do this 😂
And here I am complaining in FL that it was chilly bc it went below 70. Props bro.
Good lord this is why people shit on Florida so much
@@theimpogster2.070 I’m from NY. 33 year. Body starts to get acclimated after a few. 50 use to be warm to me during winter, now cold feels different
Couldn’t do it. I’m watching this as I’m wrapped up in a heated blanket 😆
I’m a desert dweller and if it gets lower than 60, I’m putting on ALL my layers! My 30 seconds of cold water before I turn the shower off feels like a blizzard to me!
Huberman audio is a W 🔥
Fax
It’s crazy how his face never changes when it’s time to get in that ICE bath 🛁 he’s like…😩 lol
Cold showers have been a daily routine since the pandemic 🙌
What kind of effects have you felt as a result?
@Alex Baum shed 40 lbs and haven't gotten a cold/ flu ever since
Like cold shower the whole duration?
@RealKey it's gotta be in the 5-10 min range. Most of us been programed to take hot showers our whole lives but 30-40 minutes that's where bacteria thrives, I take 2 min of hot shower to get the scum off but no more than that
@@veelowmuymalo7258 ok appreciate the info!
Started it this week with what I got. Super hot shower and after a few minutes of hot shower dial it down to freezing temperature for a couple of minutes. After a few seconds of cold water I start getting f comfortable with it and stay for 2 to 3 minutes. It’s been 4 days. Hoping to get used to it. I can definitely feel the benefits.
Wow, this guy is a legit beast. It takes a strong person to plunge in ice water without looking concerned one bit.
Boy I wish I could have something like this. ❤ good job!
Thank you
Felt the cold through the screen 💀
Great job dude!
I'm ok with my nice and warm bath, thank you... there is enough suffering in my life, I dont need to add one more.
But if it works for you... well, keep it up.
😂😂😂👌👍
My guess is Cody didn’t add any more ice, he just let it get colder and colder and as winter progressed
That’s a fact I do this everyday so the ice fluctuates based on weather conditions
@@codynielsen any chemical you add?
@@codynielsen Soon the whole thing will be ice
@@FelaleNot if he keeps disturbing it daily..Think of an Icee machine..If it stopped turning THEN it would freeze solid.
Been taking ice baths for the last week and got myself up to 6.5 minutes but took for ever for me to get warm like I was still shaking after an hour 😂
You have to take deeper breathes
Breaths
Do horse stance while doing Tai chi arm movement with focused breathing to push circulation to your extremities.
@@theodoreresultan3312 Do horse stance and tai chi arm movements while in a bathtub filled with ice? How?
@@Mrraerae sorry I forgot to mention after your cold exposure. When you are out of water. That's when you immediately do those movements to warm up and push the blood to your extremities until you are warmed back up again.
I’ve done ice baths for years. Especially after hard training while military. Just recently bought an actual ice tub for the back porch. Been working up in time and I feel after about 2-3 min it’s easy to stay in. For recovery there is literally nothing as good, as far as I know. I can barely be walking from training and take an ice bath and feel like I haven’t done anything hard the next day. It’s insane.
...it literally prevents recovery. Why tf would you do that???
Dudes got a sick physique that’s a perfect walk around weight right there
For 90% of people, that’s too lean for walking around weight. Most people can’t sustain this if they had it. Add about 3-8 lbs of fat and that’s probably more doable.
He's probably 10% body fat. Very difficult to sustain year round.
Thats what anabolics do for ya
I’d love to get into this when I start lifting again!
I heard on MPMD it’s more beneficial to do this before you workout
