Why we should all go jump in a freezing lake!

from A Functional Approach with Dr. Jim Chialtas · host Jim Chialtas, DACM, L.Ac.

In this 28th episode I follow up the discussion of the benefits of deliberate heat exposure with its counterpart... Deliberate cold exposure. This episode completes the circle - yin and yang so to speak. We will discuss various ways a person can achieve deliberate cold exposure, some of which are free or very low cost, and others more costly, or involving equipment and professionals to help with the process. We discuss frozen lakes, ice baths, dips in the ocean, and cryotherapy. We also discuss the many physiological benefits of deliberate cold exposure including the development of brown fat, DNA repair, anti-inflammation, cold-shock proteins, and more!
