Cold Plunge for Women: How to Start, Breathe, and Recover with Marie Bodine

This is StRest! Cold immersion and breath-led transformation expert Marie Bodine joins Kerstin to demystify cold exposure—how to start, who should be cautious, and how breathwork turns a “loud feeling” into calm, clarity, and resilience. We dig into the real physiology (why cold water is “weights for your veins”), the mental reset that comes from training stress-response on purpose, and practical timing with workouts and sleep. Marie explains why “11 minutes a week” is a guideline—not gospel—why temperature often matters more than time, and how to reheat the right way (hint: let your body learn to do it). Marie is the creator of Inner Peace Portal, blending ancient breath practices, neuroscience, and Positive Intelligence coaching to help people reset their nervous systems and reclaim personal freedom. She’s guided elite athletes, the Canadian military, and thousands of first-timers into ice with calm and confidence.
