40: Ice Baths: Overhyped Trend or Legit Recovery Tool?

from Lowering the Barrier · host Alex Thieme

MATTI IS BACK and today, we are back behind the mic to break down the cold hard truth about ice baths. Do they really speed recovery? Help with fat loss? Boost mental toughness? Together we dig into the science, call out flawed studies, and share when (and if) cold water immersion actually makes sense. Expect myth-busting, practical takeaways, and plenty of laughs as we cut through the hype so you’ll know whether to jump in - or skip the tub altogether.Timestamps:00:00 Intro10:00 For recovery?
