The Cold Truth

Mind Muscle with Simon de Veer

Ready to shiver your way to better health? This episode is all about the surprising benefits of cold exposure. Offering more than just an adrenaline rush, cold exposure can stimulate hormone release, strengthen your immune system, and even boost your mood. We'll guide you through the science and physiology of cold exposure, explaining how your body maintains homeostasis even in icy conditions.
Curious about the Wim Hof method? We dive into this popular cold exposure practice, exploring the safety measures you need to know. We examine the influence of influencers on the popularity of cold exposure, dispelling exaggerated claims and focusing on its proven benefits. We'll also share practical tips on how to incorporate cold exposure into your routine, from cold showers and ice baths to underdressed morning workouts.
And it's not all about the cold! We also scrutinize the health implications of plant-based alternative products. We discuss the results of a recent study that highlights the high fat and salt content of some of these products, and remind you to always fact check and seek out contradictions in any studies cited. Wrap up warm and join us for an enlightening journey into the world of cold exposure and plant-based alternatives.
