About this episode
In this episode, Professor Thomas P. Seager, PhD breaks down the real science and strategy of deliberate cold exposure: why cold can support cortisol instead of frying your nervous system, how it may influence testosterone (yes, women too) and the thyroid via brown fat, and why it's more about metabolic signaling and mitochondrial health than "burning calories." Plus: the surprising research on cold exposure and vitamin D, and the key timing nuance for athletic performance and recovery (pre-cooling vs post-workout ice baths).
