“fat through cold exposure, deliberate cold exposure? I mean, I have a cold plunge at my house. I only use it in the summer embarrassingly because I do know about the science behind it, but I just, it's a lot easier for me to get in the hot tub and sauna than the cold.”
“That's as natural as possible. And as you said, we don't know for sure that these would work together. But if somebody wants to try combining cold plunges or, you know, other cold vests and has the means to do it with a healthy diet, I think that could be really interesting. And I'd love to see actually some research on that.”
“It's not right. You should not enjoy it. What are the differences in terms of impact short term and perhaps even long term between cold showers, cold plunge to the neck? So that could be in ice water or just very cold water.”
“You don't have to start in a cold shower, you don't have to start in a cold plunge if you're not really ready for that yet. But just exposing yourself to the cold wind has also shown to activate your brown fat.”
“a cold room, or if you have courage for it, you can go out and expose yourself in a cold plunge. Cold showers is also going to do the trick. So you can do different variations of this. Just exposing yourself to various temperatures is going to activate the brown fat because it was involved to keep us in a perfect homeostatic balance regarding temperature.”
“Like, I know what I do. I just get up and I do it. And I still have that. Like, today, I did not want to get in the cold plunge. I did not want to work out. But my brain is just like, fuck you. You do what I tell you to do. You just go do it. And I got in. I got out. Oh, God, I did it. And then I do my mobility exercises.”
“die, or videos of people jumping into ice holes and getting swept under. It's really, it happens and it's awful. But deliberate cold exposure with a shower, a cold plunge done safely. People can get familiar with the experience of being flooded with adrenaline and the fact that the mind is in complete disarray”
“Well, Hickson was a true pioneer, too, with physical training. So Hickson was like the first jiu-jitsu guy to adopt extreme flexibility, yoga, cold plunges. He was doing these cold plunges in the glacial rivers in Japan before he fought in Japan Valley Tuto.”
“Well, I think with proper training and with all the different sports science modalities today, like, particularly people that are using hyperbaric chambers, red light therapy, saunas, cold plunges, massage, all these different training methods that they're doing to strengthen all their tissues and make sure they don't get injured and increasing their cardio scientifically and all the nutrition.”
“and they can have access to hyperbarics, red light, sauna, cold plunge, PEMF, all the things you're talking about, low-cost membership basis, and do this at scale. And more importantly, though, when they see it's working or not working, they have a community to say, what, oh, no, no, it's working.”
“It's like I saw my stats this morning. I'm like, wow. Yeah. So we did a 20-minute dry sauna. It got really hot. And then I have a 61-degree cold plunge. So maybe call it a cool plunge. So it's not that cold. And we just did one minute in there. Not enough to spike the dopamine and narpinephrine and wake you up and give you that spike that you get after a normal cold plunge.”
“vitamins i talk about it all the time cold plunges and fucking hyperbaric chambers and all this different shit why wouldn't they say oh apparently if you're really healthy and you do these things”
“are the master of this craft. We now, by the way, I have a sauna and a cold plunge. I love it. I love my sauna and cold plunge. Love it. Love it to death. Would not give it up. But how silly is that? Imagine taking a sauna or a cold plunge to a guy in Africa.”
“We're not sleeping out in the cold and walking in the heat, which these people all around the world are. But not us. We have to, myself included, I have to go sit in my cold plunge and get my sauna. And that's just a microcosm of how absurd we have created our culture, like how backwards we're going.”
“in control. And also make sure you touch into the beauty of really good things. Well, I find that when you do the things that suck, you do the hard workouts and the sauna and the cold plunge, life just seems more beautiful. It really does because you're not overwhelmed with this just existential dread that just hangs over you”
“And those very difficult things do make the rest of your life easier. It's like we were talking about getting shit for cold plunges. I don't know if I get shit for talking about cold plunges. But anybody. Who doesn't think you should cold plunge hasn't cold plunged.”
“And if you stack those up throughout your day, diet, nutrition, sunlight, exercise, all these different things, cold plunge sauna, your life's going to be better. Wait. And I think a thing like martial arts, particularly jiu-jitsu, is a great addition to that. And if you don't like that, yoga is another great addition.”
“balancing act that you have to acknowledge. It's interesting how the two things that really seem to, you know, catch fire out there were the idea that cold plunges block hypertrophy and strength adaptations, if done in the six hours after weight training, but you can do it before.”
“If they were to do a couple things in the morning, view bright light, ideally from sunlight, I've talked about these things before. Cold shower or cold plunge, 30 seconds, right? Just uncomfortably cold, then get out. Exercise of some sort that's high-intensity interval training or lift some weights that are heavy for them, that kind of thing for”
“She's like, my sex drive is up. It's like the best thing ever. I'm like, okay, well, I already have a sauna. I already have a cold plunge. What about the biocharger? Yeah. But so I got a, I have a biocharger. How did you find it? Great. My husband, he's like, I feel this.”
“It's been overblown because I don't know a lot of people who even have the time after workout to get in a cold plunge for 10 to 20 minutes, which is where the desire. And that's where the research that you blunt the anabolic response actually happens. So if you're going to do a long cold plunge, wait for a few hours to do it.”
“And so what I do is I have a cold plunge. So I have a cold plunge just right next to my sauna and I go back 34 degrees. Wow. And so I go back and forth. It seems cold, but I'm so used to it. It's not cold anymore.”
“Yeah. It's worth it just for that. It's worth it just for... If you could sell a pill that makes you feel as good as I feel when I get out of that cold plunge, that shit would be on every shelf. Yeah, without the cold plunge. But it's available. You just do it.”
“bodies as adults. Often they're in the back. You can get it, more brown fat by doing cold plunges and being cold. Do you want more brown fat? Yes. So I was going to say the brown fat's full of mitochondria, which are healthy.”
“build up brown fat. That is a might. You will get more brown fat if you cold plunge and do those kind of things, roll around in the snow. It is controversial, though. I did see a little bit of pushback against Wim Hoff and what he was saying.”
“Agree. It's 10 to 1, 20 to 1. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. And it's strange because the immediacy of the reward, if anyone's had a cold shower or used a cold plunge, you feel really good. As long as you stay in for a little bit, you feel so good afterward.”
“I would probably take a sauna 20 times over taking a cold plunge if I'm going to try and do something for my health. I'm the same. I do a hot every day, including a steam shower, but I cold plunge probably once every two weeks at best by turning on the cold tap. What do you make of Brian Johnson's approach to longevity?”
“people will be prepared to get up at four in the morning and do the ice plunge and go for the run and stick to their diet, but they can't tell their parents that something really got to them that happened last week.”
“And you can, you know, get them from food. Yeah, all the natural stuff. And then I feel like contrast therapy is so helpful too. Yep. Like doing sauna, cold plunge, sauna, cold plunge. Oh, yeah. Anytime I'm injured, that's what I go to. I hit up Cam actually one time and I was like, Cam, I just did a half marathon.”
“So then when other things that are seemingly hard come up, you're like, oh, this ain't shit compared to a cold plunge. This ain't shit. I just did a workout, a hypoxia workout.”
“So hypoxia, hyperoxia, you know, red light therapy is a hormetic stress. You know, we have cold plunge. We have the saunas, right? We have several of these things. The hormetic stress from eating the right kind of food that is stressed, right? Like, what's the best tasting strawberry?”
“And I mean, that's the objective, right? It's the same with like red light therapy, with cold plunging, with all of these things. More is not better. No. Colder and longer is not better. Longer in a red light bed, higher milliwatts of irradiance.”
“hormetic stresses, which are free, um, when you expose yourself to cold water. I talk about it all the time. I'm like, you don't even need to spend whatever seven to 10 grand on a cold plunge. You can cold shower, three to five minutes, you're done, right? Like, let's let's not overkill it, right? So, sauna, 20 minutes, you know, something how are you stacking these modalities?”
“Yes. Yes. And ideally to your spouse and your kids, too. Everywhere. Everywhere. So a human, after a cold plunge, brings that energy. You don't have to talk. Everybody knows your energy feels really good. All because you went to Mother Nature. Right? That was Mother Nature. Cold.”
“So my goal is for people to spread, you know, silence, calmness, confidence, love, joy. Because that's exactly how you feel after a cold plunge. Exactly. In three minutes. You get into that state. You have to learn to love, you know, the process of, I'm going to fight flight avoidance, but I'm not going to listen to that part of me.”
“Yeah. Utilize it. You know, it's available. But again, you can also go and take a cold plunge before you hug the dog. And that way you kill that energy. You know, kill bad energy. Just kill it. And only give good energy to your family. Give good energy to your home.”
“We love supplements. We love hydrogen. We love weighted vests and cold plunges. We love all. Sing it. We love those things. Sing it, sister. Right?. And that's a way of optimizing. our physiology. That's a way of optimizing our physiology, right?”
“Walk me through a typical day in the life of Steph Curry. He's got a minimum shot routine. He's got his warmups, his workouts, his massage therapy, the cold plunges, like whatever he does. He just does it unbroken for so much longer than everybody else.”
