01:00doing these ice plunges or ice baths as doing these ice plunges or ice baths as well too and started speaking to some of well too and started speaking to some of well too and started speaking to some of the athletes who were doing them and the athletes who were doing them and the athletes who were doing them and because I work out four to five days a because I work out four to five days a because I work out four to five days a week and my workouts tend to be a little week and my workouts tend to be a little week and my workouts tend to be a little bit intense bit intense bit intense I was open to the idea of some new I was open to the idea of some new I was open to the idea of some new therapy helping me out okay and so for therapy helping me out okay and so for therapy helping me out okay and so for the last seven days I've taken a cold the last seven days I've taken a cold the last seven days I've taken a cold shower or a ice bath okay which shower or a ice bath okay which shower or a ice bath okay which I would literally go to the grocery I would literally go to the grocery I would literally go to the grocery store get about six to seven bags of big store get about six to seven bags of big store get about six to seven bags of big big bags of ice pour that in the bathtub big bags of ice pour that in the bathtub big bags of ice pour that in the bathtub and take a a bath with it and so I did and take a a bath with it and so I did and take a a bath with it and so I did that twice that twice that twice in the seven days and other five days I in the seven days and other five days I in the seven days and other five days I did the cold shower and what I will tell did the cold shower and what I will tell did the cold shower and what I will tell you is that you is that you is that I see the benefits before I was thinking I see the benefits before I was thinking I see the benefits before I was thinking like these people are out of their damn like these people are out of their damn like these people are out of their damn minds but now I see the benefits and so minds but now I see the benefits and so minds but now I see the benefits and so I'm gonna share with you some of the I'm gonna share with you some of the I'm gonna share with you some of the benefits that not only I receive but benefits that not only I receive but benefits that not only I receive but also I was very aware of the studies and
02:00also I was very aware of the studies and also I was very aware of the studies and the Articles around the benefits of a the Articles around the benefits of a the Articles around the benefits of a cold shower cold shower cold shower a cold therapy a cold therapy a cold therapy but now I'm uh I have personal belief but now I'm uh I have personal belief but now I'm uh I have personal belief now okay so I'm gonna share with you now okay so I'm gonna share with you now okay so I'm gonna share with you some of the benefits of taking your some of the benefits of taking your some of the benefits of taking your clothes cold Plunge in terms of like a clothes cold Plunge in terms of like a clothes cold Plunge in terms of like a cold bath or ice bath or taking a cold cold bath or ice bath or taking a cold cold bath or ice bath or taking a cold shower and I'm gonna tell you a little shower and I'm gonna tell you a little shower and I'm gonna tell you a little bit of a a cool way at the end that you bit of a a cool way at the end that you bit of a a cool way at the end that you could actually do the cold shower where could actually do the cold shower where could actually do the cold shower where it won't be as bad so hold tight for it won't be as bad so hold tight for it won't be as bad so hold tight for that at the end okay so one of the one that at the end okay so one of the one that at the end okay so one of the one of the huge benefits of taking a cold of the huge benefits of taking a cold of the huge benefits of taking a cold shower is this whenever your body gets shower is this whenever your body gets shower is this whenever your body gets that shock okay that shot that comes that shock okay that shot that comes that shock okay that shot that comes from the cold it literally sends your from the cold it literally sends your from the cold it literally sends your body into this primitive State called body into this primitive State called body into this primitive State called Fight or Flight okay or survival mode Fight or Flight okay or survival mode Fight or Flight okay or survival mode okay and whenever your body goes into okay and whenever your body goes into okay and whenever your body goes into the survival state the survival state the survival state all types of neural chemicals hormones all types of neural chemicals hormones all types of neural chemicals hormones you know biochemical reactions shift in
03:00you know biochemical reactions shift in you know biochemical reactions shift in the body because the body doesn't know the body because the body doesn't know the body because the body doesn't know what's going on outside of it it just what's going on outside of it it just what's going on outside of it it just knows how to respond to it okay and so knows how to respond to it okay and so knows how to respond to it okay and so whenever your your body goes from this whenever your your body goes from this whenever your your body goes from this very comfortable temperature like I'm at very comfortable temperature like I'm at very comfortable temperature like I'm at right now to Boom I'm in cold water right now to Boom I'm in cold water right now to Boom I'm in cold water your body is saying that I gotta get out your body is saying that I gotta get out your body is saying that I gotta get out of this you know in of this you know in of this you know in in the consciousness of your body is in the consciousness of your body is in the consciousness of your body is like maybe you fell into a Ice Cold Lake like maybe you fell into a Ice Cold Lake like maybe you fell into a Ice Cold Lake you know so it's like all right I need you know so it's like all right I need you know so it's like all right I need to do what I need to do to get this to do what I need to do to get this to do what I need to do to get this person out of this situation because we person out of this situation because we person out of this situation because we need to survive so whenever your body need to survive so whenever your body need to survive so whenever your body goes into this you know is it comes into goes into this you know is it comes into goes into this you know is it comes into contact with really cold water is going contact with really cold water is going contact with really cold water is going to go into the survival State and this to go into the survival State and this to go into the survival State and this is what it does and I've talked about is what it does and I've talked about is what it does and I've talked about this in previous videos your body shifts this in previous videos your body shifts this in previous videos your body shifts okay it goes in this dire State okay now okay it goes in this dire State okay now okay it goes in this dire State okay now things like digestion aren't as things like digestion aren't as things like digestion aren't as important okay because now you're in important okay because now you're in important okay because now you're in this state of emergency your body thinks this state of emergency your body thinks this state of emergency your body thinks you're in a state of emergency and so you're in a state of emergency and so you're in a state of emergency and so now all that blood that was concentrated
04:00now all that blood that was concentrated now all that blood that was concentrated on these very important organs like the on these very important organs like the on these very important organs like the heart the the lungs the digestive system heart the the lungs the digestive system heart the the lungs the digestive system especially not all that blood is shifted especially not all that blood is shifted especially not all that blood is shifted it's shifted to the things that it it's shifted to the things that it it's shifted to the things that it believes that is most important during believes that is most important during believes that is most important during an estate of during a state of emergency an estate of during a state of emergency an estate of during a state of emergency and so during the state of emergency you and so during the state of emergency you and so during the state of emergency you need to be able to move okay so if you need to be able to move okay so if you need to be able to move okay so if you fall into uh Ice Cold Lake you need to fall into uh Ice Cold Lake you need to fall into uh Ice Cold Lake you need to be be able to swim really fast to get be be able to swim really fast to get be be able to swim really fast to get out of it if you're in a state of out of it if you're in a state of out of it if you're in a state of emergency emergency emergency and all of a sudden you get kicked out and all of a sudden you get kicked out and all of a sudden you get kicked out of a car and you're in the cold you need of a car and you're in the cold you need of a car and you're in the cold you need to get out of that to get out of that to get out of that the body needs to heat about itself back the body needs to heat about itself back the body needs to heat about itself back up okay and so one of the things it does up okay and so one of the things it does up okay and so one of the things it does to do that to increase the heat of the to do that to increase the heat of the to do that to increase the heat of the body is it increases circulation okay so body is it increases circulation okay so body is it increases circulation okay so one of the first benefits one of the first benefits one of the first benefits um to sort of going into the state of um to sort of going into the state of um to sort of going into the state of coldness from a cold shower or a ice coldness from a cold shower or a ice coldness from a cold shower or a ice bath is that it increases circulation in bath is that it increases circulation in bath is that it increases circulation in the body okay and this is always good
05:00the body okay and this is always good the body okay and this is always good okay this means that new and fresh okay this means that new and fresh okay this means that new and fresh oxygen are going to get to tissues and oxygen are going to get to tissues and oxygen are going to get to tissues and areas of the body that it probably areas of the body that it probably areas of the body that it probably wouldn't have gotten to because now your wouldn't have gotten to because now your wouldn't have gotten to because now your body has shifted this Blood body has shifted this Blood body has shifted this Blood in uh like a spur of the moment and now in uh like a spur of the moment and now in uh like a spur of the moment and now this this blood is circulating to the this this blood is circulating to the this this blood is circulating to the limbs to all parts of the body that need limbs to all parts of the body that need limbs to all parts of the body that need oxygen that need nourishment because oxygen that need nourishment because oxygen that need nourishment because there's also nourishment in the blood as there's also nourishment in the blood as there's also nourishment in the blood as well too so the number one thing is it well too so the number one thing is it well too so the number one thing is it increases circulation which is hugely increases circulation which is hugely increases circulation which is hugely important okay the blood is the River of important okay the blood is the River of important okay the blood is the River of Life and if that River isn't flowing Life and if that River isn't flowing Life and if that River isn't flowing and in a case of like gangrene you know and in a case of like gangrene you know and in a case of like gangrene you know uh when your your tissues stop getting uh when your your tissues stop getting uh when your your tissues stop getting blood flow the blood will begin to pull blood flow the blood will begin to pull blood flow the blood will begin to pull and once it begins to pull it could lead and once it begins to pull it could lead and once it begins to pull it could lead to tissue breakdown okay so hugely to tissue breakdown okay so hugely to tissue breakdown okay so hugely important that's one of the number one important that's one of the number one important that's one of the number one benefits of doing a cold shower or a benefits of doing a cold shower or a benefits of doing a cold shower or a cold Plunge in an ice bath okay so cold Plunge in an ice bath okay so cold Plunge in an ice bath okay so number two is that whenever your body
06:00number two is that whenever your body number two is that whenever your body gets shifted or it gets come into gets shifted or it gets come into gets shifted or it gets come into contact with cold water contact with cold water contact with cold water our cold temperatures very quickly some our cold temperatures very quickly some our cold temperatures very quickly some of the things that it's going to do is of the things that it's going to do is of the things that it's going to do is it going to sort of stimulate this type it going to sort of stimulate this type it going to sort of stimulate this type of fat called Brown cell fat okay so of fat called Brown cell fat okay so of fat called Brown cell fat okay so Brown fat is really important because Brown fat is really important because Brown fat is really important because Brown fat activates whenever it comes Brown fat activates whenever it comes Brown fat activates whenever it comes into contact with cold temperatures and into contact with cold temperatures and into contact with cold temperatures and one of the primary functions of brown one of the primary functions of brown one of the primary functions of brown fat is the increase the temperature of fat is the increase the temperature of fat is the increase the temperature of the body okay so if you know you're out the body okay so if you know you're out the body okay so if you know you're out in the winter and let's say you're in in the winter and let's say you're in in the winter and let's say you're in Chicago and it's a blizzard that brown Chicago and it's a blizzard that brown Chicago and it's a blizzard that brown fat is heating up the body okay so fat is heating up the body okay so fat is heating up the body okay so whenever you actually come into contact whenever you actually come into contact whenever you actually come into contact with very very cold temperatures with very very cold temperatures with very very cold temperatures especially all of a sudden like this especially all of a sudden like this especially all of a sudden like this where you're going you know from a warm where you're going you know from a warm where you're going you know from a warm shower to a cold shower you're doing an shower to a cold shower you're doing an shower to a cold shower you're doing an ice bath it's going to stimulate that ice bath it's going to stimulate that ice bath it's going to stimulate that brown fat and that brown fat is going to brown fat and that brown fat is going to brown fat and that brown fat is going to generate heat in the body and start to generate heat in the body and start to generate heat in the body and start to burn fat okay so it's generating that burn fat okay so it's generating that burn fat okay so it's generating that heat burning fat increasing the
07:00heat burning fat increasing the heat burning fat increasing the temperature of the body so that you temperature of the body so that you temperature of the body so that you don't get too cold okay and that is don't get too cold okay and that is don't get too cold okay and that is definitely a benefit you want to be definitely a benefit you want to be definitely a benefit you want to be burning fat okay so that's another burning fat okay so that's another burning fat okay so that's another benefit number two number three it benefit number two number three it benefit number two number three it decreases muscle soreness okay post decreases muscle soreness okay post decreases muscle soreness okay post workout now this is one of the benefits workout now this is one of the benefits workout now this is one of the benefits that I definitely experience you know that I definitely experience you know that I definitely experience you know throughout my seven days of doing a cold throughout my seven days of doing a cold throughout my seven days of doing a cold shower and a cold ice bath okay as I shower and a cold ice bath okay as I shower and a cold ice bath okay as I said before I work out four to five days said before I work out four to five days said before I work out four to five days a week and my workouts lately have been a week and my workouts lately have been a week and my workouts lately have been intense and it they tend to intensify intense and it they tend to intensify intense and it they tend to intensify especially during the summer time especially during the summer time especially during the summer time because you know I can go outside now I because you know I can go outside now I because you know I can go outside now I can work out outside so it's hotter can work out outside so it's hotter can work out outside so it's hotter outside to work out outside to work out outside to work out um I'm eating more fruit so I have more um I'm eating more fruit so I have more um I'm eating more fruit so I have more energy okay I'm eating more raw things energy okay I'm eating more raw things energy okay I'm eating more raw things and so as a result of that I tend to and so as a result of that I tend to and so as a result of that I tend to work out not only more I tend to work work out not only more I tend to work work out not only more I tend to work out harder as well too and I end up out harder as well too and I end up out harder as well too and I end up having to pay for it okay so end up with having to pay for it okay so end up with having to pay for it okay so end up with a lot of muscle soreness and some a lot of muscle soreness and some a lot of muscle soreness and some stiffness and that's one of the benefits
08:00stiffness and that's one of the benefits stiffness and that's one of the benefits that I definitely receive from doing that I definitely receive from doing that I definitely receive from doing these ice bath was literally I would these ice bath was literally I would these ice bath was literally I would come home all stiff after doing you know come home all stiff after doing you know come home all stiff after doing you know five six seven uh sets of squats you five six seven uh sets of squats you five six seven uh sets of squats you know 12 to 15 reps doing a whole bunch know 12 to 15 reps doing a whole bunch know 12 to 15 reps doing a whole bunch of calisthenics on top of that and then of calisthenics on top of that and then of calisthenics on top of that and then come home be all sore because I beat my come home be all sore because I beat my come home be all sore because I beat my body up and then all of a sudden I take body up and then all of a sudden I take body up and then all of a sudden I take this cold plunge and now I feel my body this cold plunge and now I feel my body this cold plunge and now I feel my body feels good feels good feels good you know my body felt like instantly you know my body felt like instantly you know my body felt like instantly some of the soreness went away okay and some of the soreness went away okay and some of the soreness went away okay and so that makes sense too I mean what do so that makes sense too I mean what do so that makes sense too I mean what do we do whenever we have something that's we do whenever we have something that's we do whenever we have something that's swollen we put ice on it okay and that's swollen we put ice on it okay and that's swollen we put ice on it okay and that's supposed to reduce the swelling and so supposed to reduce the swelling and so supposed to reduce the swelling and so that's one of the definite major that's one of the definite major that's one of the definite major benefits that I actually experienced benefits that I actually experienced benefits that I actually experienced during this seven days is that decreased during this seven days is that decreased during this seven days is that decreased muscle soreness post-workout which is muscle soreness post-workout which is muscle soreness post-workout which is huge because now my recovery time goes huge because now my recovery time goes huge because now my recovery time goes down which means that I can get back in down which means that I can get back in down which means that I can get back in the gym and perform like I need to so the gym and perform like I need to so the gym and perform like I need to so that was huge as well too and the other
09:00that was huge as well too and the other that was huge as well too and the other reason why this works so well is because reason why this works so well is because reason why this works so well is because again you're increasing circulation as again you're increasing circulation as again you're increasing circulation as well too as I mentioned before and as well too as I mentioned before and as well too as I mentioned before and as you increase circulation what happens you increase circulation what happens you increase circulation what happens you're able to pull some of that lactic you're able to pull some of that lactic you're able to pull some of that lactic acid out of those areas of the muscle acid out of those areas of the muscle acid out of those areas of the muscle that are actually pooling that lactic that are actually pooling that lactic that are actually pooling that lactic acid and that blood in those areas okay acid and that blood in those areas okay acid and that blood in those areas okay so that's one of the reasons why I would so that's one of the reasons why I would so that's one of the reasons why I would actually not only decrease the muscle actually not only decrease the muscle actually not only decrease the muscle soreness but actually increase your soreness but actually increase your soreness but actually increase your recovery time as well too and it also recovery time as well too and it also recovery time as well too and it also relaxes the muscles too I noticed that relaxes the muscles too I noticed that relaxes the muscles too I noticed that initially when you get into the ice bath initially when you get into the ice bath initially when you get into the ice bath you turn the water on cold your body you turn the water on cold your body you turn the water on cold your body tenses up tenses up tenses up and then what you'll notice is I and and then what you'll notice is I and and then what you'll notice is I and I'll talk about this a little bit later I'll talk about this a little bit later I'll talk about this a little bit later but I use this as an opportunity to kind but I use this as an opportunity to kind but I use this as an opportunity to kind of calm myself down of calm myself down of calm myself down and as I was doing this I noticed that and as I was doing this I noticed that and as I was doing this I noticed that you know my muscles went from this tent you know my muscles went from this tent you know my muscles went from this tent state to now are they just relaxed okay state to now are they just relaxed okay state to now are they just relaxed okay so especially once I got out of the cold
10:00so especially once I got out of the cold so especially once I got out of the cold shower in the ice bath I definitely felt shower in the ice bath I definitely felt shower in the ice bath I definitely felt like my muscles were relaxing okay like my muscles were relaxing okay like my muscles were relaxing okay another huge benefit I definitely another huge benefit I definitely another huge benefit I definitely noticed this one as well too especially noticed this one as well too especially noticed this one as well too especially when I started looking in the mirror when I started looking in the mirror when I started looking in the mirror where my skin and my hair had a glue up where my skin and my hair had a glue up where my skin and my hair had a glue up okay and I okay and I okay and I I didn't anticipate that one I had read I didn't anticipate that one I had read I didn't anticipate that one I had read about that in some of the Articles and about that in some of the Articles and about that in some of the Articles and studies and I'm like yeah I can see it studies and I'm like yeah I can see it studies and I'm like yeah I can see it with the skin but the hair too with the skin but the hair too with the skin but the hair too yeah I actually experienced it uh and yeah I actually experienced it uh and yeah I actually experienced it uh and the reason why I work so well with the the reason why I work so well with the the reason why I work so well with the skin is because you get skin tightening skin is because you get skin tightening skin is because you get skin tightening so it tightens up your skins your skin so it tightens up your skins your skin so it tightens up your skins your skin it closes up the pores so a lot of you it closes up the pores so a lot of you it closes up the pores so a lot of you who have those pores that are really who have those pores that are really who have those pores that are really huge and you can see the pores on your huge and you can see the pores on your huge and you can see the pores on your face on your skin what you'll notice is face on your skin what you'll notice is face on your skin what you'll notice is that you're consistently taking these that you're consistently taking these that you're consistently taking these cold showers ice baths is that the cold showers ice baths is that the cold showers ice baths is that the coldness actually causes those pores to coldness actually causes those pores to coldness actually causes those pores to close up okay now the huge benefit that close up okay now the huge benefit that close up okay now the huge benefit that comes with that when it comes to hair is comes with that when it comes to hair is comes with that when it comes to hair is now you're not losing all those natural now you're not losing all those natural now you're not losing all those natural oils that your skin and your hair is
11:00oils that your skin and your hair is oils that your skin and your hair is producing okay so that's a huge huge producing okay so that's a huge huge producing okay so that's a huge huge benefit okay so I saw a glue up with the benefit okay so I saw a glue up with the benefit okay so I saw a glue up with the hair and I also noticed that my skin hair and I also noticed that my skin hair and I also noticed that my skin wasn't as dry and that's also a benefit wasn't as dry and that's also a benefit wasn't as dry and that's also a benefit as well too as opposed to taking very as well too as opposed to taking very as well too as opposed to taking very hot showers you'll notice that your skin hot showers you'll notice that your skin hot showers you'll notice that your skin gets very dry after a hot shower as gets very dry after a hot shower as gets very dry after a hot shower as opposed to a cold shower so I really opposed to a cold shower so I really opposed to a cold shower so I really enjoyed that as well too another benefit enjoyed that as well too another benefit enjoyed that as well too another benefit was that it increases metabolism ISM now was that it increases metabolism ISM now was that it increases metabolism ISM now I can't say I experienced this one but I can't say I experienced this one but I can't say I experienced this one but it makes sense because again when your it makes sense because again when your it makes sense because again when your body goes into this survival state where body goes into this survival state where body goes into this survival state where it's experiencing these extreme cold it's experiencing these extreme cold it's experiencing these extreme cold temperatures in a very short amount of temperatures in a very short amount of temperatures in a very short amount of time uh it's just natural for the body time uh it's just natural for the body time uh it's just natural for the body to want to create homeostasis which is to want to create homeostasis which is to want to create homeostasis which is to balance out the temperature okay so to balance out the temperature okay so to balance out the temperature okay so it creates this condition known as it creates this condition known as it creates this condition known as thermogenesis where it's creating heat thermogenesis where it's creating heat thermogenesis where it's creating heat okay it's manufacturing heat that can okay it's manufacturing heat that can okay it's manufacturing heat that can come from Shivers that can come from come from Shivers that can come from come from Shivers that can come from other things as well too that can come other things as well too that can come other things as well too that can come from blood circulation from blood circulation from blood circulation but the those two acts increase the
12:00but the those two acts increase the but the those two acts increase the metabolism in the body as well too so metabolism in the body as well too so metabolism in the body as well too so now as the metabolism increases now now as the metabolism increases now now as the metabolism increases now you're burning more calories as well too you're burning more calories as well too you're burning more calories as well too okay so that's another huge benefit okay so that's another huge benefit okay so that's another huge benefit because now it's going to help you out because now it's going to help you out because now it's going to help you out with that weight loss Journey as well with that weight loss Journey as well with that weight loss Journey as well too so you can get that flat Summit back too so you can get that flat Summit back too so you can get that flat Summit back all right the other benefit and I talked all right the other benefit and I talked all right the other benefit and I talked about this a little bit earlier but about this a little bit earlier but about this a little bit earlier but it decreases inflammation as well too it decreases inflammation as well too it decreases inflammation as well too and I definitely noticed that I always and I definitely noticed that I always and I definitely noticed that I always had I tend to have certain areas had I tend to have certain areas had I tend to have certain areas depending on what day and what I'm doing depending on what day and what I'm doing depending on what day and what I'm doing during my workout well I can almost during my workout well I can almost during my workout well I can almost anticipate after I do this workout I anticipate after I do this workout I anticipate after I do this workout I know this area is going to be inflamed know this area is going to be inflamed know this area is going to be inflamed and sore and what is inflammation and sore and what is inflammation and sore and what is inflammation inflammation is like a fire okay that inflammation is like a fire okay that inflammation is like a fire okay that needs to be put out and one of the best needs to be put out and one of the best needs to be put out and one of the best things that you can do that with is ice things that you can do that with is ice things that you can do that with is ice okay or cold temperatures okay so okay or cold temperatures okay so okay or cold temperatures okay so sitting in that ice bath now I'll tell sitting in that ice bath now I'll tell sitting in that ice bath now I'll tell you I sat in the ice bath for about you I sat in the ice bath for about you I sat in the ice bath for about five to seven minutes okay and then I five to seven minutes okay and then I five to seven minutes okay and then I would get out and then I would get back
13:00would get out and then I would get back would get out and then I would get back in okay so that's how I did my ice baths in okay so that's how I did my ice baths in okay so that's how I did my ice baths I'll tell you how I did my showers in a I'll tell you how I did my showers in a I'll tell you how I did my showers in a minute but one of the things I minute but one of the things I minute but one of the things I definitely noticed was again not only definitely noticed was again not only definitely noticed was again not only did it decrease muscle muscle soreness did it decrease muscle muscle soreness did it decrease muscle muscle soreness supposed to work out but I also noticed supposed to work out but I also noticed supposed to work out but I also noticed that there was less inflammation as well that there was less inflammation as well that there was less inflammation as well too okay so that was a huge benefit too okay so that was a huge benefit too okay so that was a huge benefit because again this is going to decrease because again this is going to decrease because again this is going to decrease uh recovery time and it allowed me to uh recovery time and it allowed me to uh recovery time and it allowed me to get back in the gym the way that I want get back in the gym the way that I want get back in the gym the way that I want to be back in the gym as well too all to be back in the gym as well too all to be back in the gym as well too all right the number seven thing it relieves right the number seven thing it relieves right the number seven thing it relieves localized pain now this is something localized pain now this is something localized pain now this is something that I've actually worked with that I've actually worked with that I've actually worked with um people before in the past and I had um people before in the past and I had um people before in the past and I had this kid who had a issue with cellulitis this kid who had a issue with cellulitis this kid who had a issue with cellulitis on his finger or hand I can't remember on his finger or hand I can't remember on his finger or hand I can't remember which one and the doctors had given this which one and the doctors had given this which one and the doctors had given this kid at least three rounds of antibiotics kid at least three rounds of antibiotics kid at least three rounds of antibiotics it still didn't work it still didn't work it still didn't work and it was only getting worser and so I and it was only getting worser and so I and it was only getting worser and so I had them the mother do hot cold therapy had them the mother do hot cold therapy had them the mother do hot cold therapy at home and what that means is literally
14:00at home and what that means is literally at home and what that means is literally going from Ice Water literally like a going from Ice Water literally like a going from Ice Water literally like a glass jar with with ice and water in it glass jar with with ice and water in it glass jar with with ice and water in it and then putting it in warm water and and then putting it in warm water and and then putting it in warm water and going back and forth from back and forth going back and forth from back and forth going back and forth from back and forth and what I noticed was not only did it and what I noticed was not only did it and what I noticed was not only did it help to reduce the pain because that was help to reduce the pain because that was help to reduce the pain because that was the real issue that she was like well the real issue that she was like well the real issue that she was like well just can you give me something to help just can you give me something to help just can you give me something to help him with the pain well not only did it him with the pain well not only did it him with the pain well not only did it reduce the pain but it also caused the reduce the pain but it also caused the reduce the pain but it also caused the infection to go away and infection to go away and infection to go away and um that was a little bit of a small um that was a little bit of a small um that was a little bit of a small surprise surprise surprise but I wasn't surprised because again but I wasn't surprised because again but I wasn't surprised because again what what does cold water do especially what what does cold water do especially what what does cold water do especially when you're going back and forth with when you're going back and forth with when you're going back and forth with hot cold therapy it's going to increase hot cold therapy it's going to increase hot cold therapy it's going to increase circulation to the area when you're circulation to the area when you're circulation to the area when you're increasing circulation not only increasing circulation not only increasing circulation not only increasing the blood flow but you're increasing the blood flow but you're increasing the blood flow but you're increasing the nutrients but you're also increasing the nutrients but you're also increasing the nutrients but you're also delivering those immune cells to the the delivering those immune cells to the the delivering those immune cells to the the area as well too those hard to get areas area as well too those hard to get areas area as well too those hard to get areas which are our hands our feet our lower which are our hands our feet our lower which are our hands our feet our lower legs okay so simply by stimulating the
15:00legs okay so simply by stimulating the legs okay so simply by stimulating the circulation we got more of the immune circulation we got more of the immune circulation we got more of the immune system there as well so not only did it system there as well so not only did it system there as well so not only did it help with the localized pain but it help with the localized pain but it help with the localized pain but it helped with the infection as well too helped with the infection as well too helped with the infection as well too all right number eight it reduces stress all right number eight it reduces stress all right number eight it reduces stress okay it reduces stress too now I really okay it reduces stress too now I really okay it reduces stress too now I really can't I'll be honest with you I can't I can't I'll be honest with you I can't I can't I'll be honest with you I can't I can't really explain why it reduces can't really explain why it reduces can't really explain why it reduces stress but I can give you my theory on stress but I can give you my theory on stress but I can give you my theory on it uh one of the things that I noticed it uh one of the things that I noticed it uh one of the things that I noticed the was the first couple of days as I the was the first couple of days as I the was the first couple of days as I was getting in the ice bath or getting was getting in the ice bath or getting was getting in the ice bath or getting in the cold or doing the cold shower was in the cold or doing the cold shower was in the cold or doing the cold shower was I noticed that I noticed that I noticed that man it was a shocker to my body when I man it was a shocker to my body when I man it was a shocker to my body when I started to do you know the the turn the started to do you know the the turn the started to do you know the the turn the water to cold like my body would water to cold like my body would water to cold like my body would literally go into this emergency State literally go into this emergency State literally go into this emergency State my mind will start to tell me get out of my mind will start to tell me get out of my mind will start to tell me get out of this water turn it back to the to warm this water turn it back to the to warm this water turn it back to the to warm and what I would notice is that as time and what I would notice is that as time and what I would notice is that as time went on those alert signals got more and went on those alert signals got more and went on those alert signals got more and more silent okay and as I became to when
16:00more silent okay and as I became to when more silent okay and as I became to when as I became more conscious about that as I became more conscious about that as I became more conscious about that what I realized was that what I realized was that what I realized was that over time over time over time is going to become less and less in the is going to become less and less in the is going to become less and less in the beginning too okay it's going to be less beginning too okay it's going to be less beginning too okay it's going to be less and less of a shocker to my body as well and less of a shocker to my body as well and less of a shocker to my body as well too and so what I try to do is you know too and so what I try to do is you know too and so what I try to do is you know be mindful throughout the process be mindful throughout the process be mindful throughout the process immediately when I turn it to coal immediately when I turn it to coal immediately when I turn it to coal I wanted to be more mindful about what I wanted to be more mindful about what I wanted to be more mindful about what my body was telling me what was going on my body was telling me what was going on my body was telling me what was going on versus what was going on versus what was going on versus what was going on you know my body was was screaming at me you know my body was was screaming at me you know my body was was screaming at me like Hey we're in a state of emergency like Hey we're in a state of emergency like Hey we're in a state of emergency get us out of here get us out of here get us out of here but when I was being mindful about was but when I was being mindful about was but when I was being mindful about was looking at the reality I just simply looking at the reality I just simply looking at the reality I just simply turned the knob to Coal that's all I did turned the knob to Coal that's all I did turned the knob to Coal that's all I did and I could turn it back to warm anytime and I could turn it back to warm anytime and I could turn it back to warm anytime I wanted to and so I had the power to I wanted to and so I had the power to I wanted to and so I had the power to end this so there was no need for me to end this so there was no need for me to end this so there was no need for me to fear and what I've noticed was that it fear and what I've noticed was that it fear and what I've noticed was that it improved not only from the beginning of improved not only from the beginning of improved not only from the beginning of every day after that but it also kind of
17:00every day after that but it also kind of every day after that but it also kind of made me calmer throughout the day as made me calmer throughout the day as made me calmer throughout the day as well too so that's my theory on it is well too so that's my theory on it is well too so that's my theory on it is that as you practice this mindfulness that as you practice this mindfulness that as you practice this mindfulness and you're stimulating your immune and you're stimulating your immune and you're stimulating your immune system which is in this case your system which is in this case your system which is in this case your sympathetic nervous system which is a sympathetic nervous system which is a sympathetic nervous system which is a stress system which is the alert system stress system which is the alert system stress system which is the alert system uh and it is going crazy you're also you uh and it is going crazy you're also you uh and it is going crazy you're also you know essentially creating an exercise uh know essentially creating an exercise uh know essentially creating an exercise uh for your nervous system to calm itself for your nervous system to calm itself for your nervous system to calm itself down okay so I think that's part of the down okay so I think that's part of the down okay so I think that's part of the practice as well too when you're doing practice as well too when you're doing practice as well too when you're doing these cold plunges in an ice bath or a a these cold plunges in an ice bath or a a these cold plunges in an ice bath or a a cold shower is to practice that cold shower is to practice that cold shower is to practice that mindfulness too so that you can kind of mindfulness too so that you can kind of mindfulness too so that you can kind of overcome your body's alert systems by overcome your body's alert systems by overcome your body's alert systems by being conscious about the process and being conscious about the process and being conscious about the process and being mindful to tell your body hey being mindful to tell your body hey being mindful to tell your body hey there's nothing to worry about and the there's nothing to worry about and the there's nothing to worry about and the body is simply a slave to the mind it body is simply a slave to the mind it body is simply a slave to the mind it will do whatever the mind tells us to do will do whatever the mind tells us to do will do whatever the mind tells us to do okay number nine okay number nine okay number nine number nine is it could and may possibly
18:00number nine is it could and may possibly number nine is it could and may possibly increase testosterone now I I haven't increase testosterone now I I haven't increase testosterone now I I haven't gone to the doctor so there's no way I gone to the doctor so there's no way I gone to the doctor so there's no way I can tell you that it increased my can tell you that it increased my can tell you that it increased my testosterone but according to many testosterone but according to many testosterone but according to many studies and the information is blurred studies and the information is blurred studies and the information is blurred out there whether whether or not it does out there whether whether or not it does out there whether whether or not it does or doesn't uh but there's a lot of very or doesn't uh but there's a lot of very or doesn't uh but there's a lot of very significant journals and articles out significant journals and articles out significant journals and articles out there that have done a lot of great work there that have done a lot of great work there that have done a lot of great work that says that it can not only increase that says that it can not only increase that says that it can not only increase testosterone but it actually can testosterone but it actually can testosterone but it actually can increase your sperm count as males as increase your sperm count as males as increase your sperm count as males as well too and part of that again like I'm well too and part of that again like I'm well too and part of that again like I'm always trying to think well how does always trying to think well how does always trying to think well how does that how could that actually happen well that how could that actually happen well that how could that actually happen well one of the one of the issues that we one of the one of the issues that we one of the one of the issues that we have today is a lot of have today is a lot of have today is a lot of um um um you know like us as humans like we've you know like us as humans like we've you know like us as humans like we've evolved okay in the beginning of time evolved okay in the beginning of time evolved okay in the beginning of time like we weren't walking around with all like we weren't walking around with all like we weren't walking around with all these clothes on throughout the day okay these clothes on throughout the day okay these clothes on throughout the day okay you know we were walking around maybe you know we were walking around maybe you know we were walking around maybe with something to cover up the private with something to cover up the private with something to cover up the private parts and that about it especially parts and that about it especially parts and that about it especially during great weather and so you know our
19:00during great weather and so you know our during great weather and so you know our gonads our testicles were constantly gonads our testicles were constantly gonads our testicles were constantly being exposed to air okay as opposed to being exposed to air okay as opposed to being exposed to air okay as opposed to now we didn't we got on a pair of boxers now we didn't we got on a pair of boxers now we didn't we got on a pair of boxers or underwear and then on top of that we or underwear and then on top of that we or underwear and then on top of that we have a pair of pants or shorts on okay have a pair of pants or shorts on okay have a pair of pants or shorts on okay so our our test schools are constantly so our our test schools are constantly so our our test schools are constantly in this environment of heat in this environment of heat in this environment of heat okay and so as a result of going to this okay and so as a result of going to this okay and so as a result of going to this cold plunge or a cold shower now your cold plunge or a cold shower now your cold plunge or a cold shower now your testicles are now being exposed to testicles are now being exposed to testicles are now being exposed to coolness okay and now think about that coolness okay and now think about that coolness okay and now think about that for a second for a second for a second you know like a man's testicles could be you know like a man's testicles could be you know like a man's testicles could be inside of the body but they're not okay inside of the body but they're not okay inside of the body but they're not okay like a woman's ovaries are inside of the like a woman's ovaries are inside of the like a woman's ovaries are inside of the body body body a man's testicles are outside they're a man's testicles are outside they're a man's testicles are outside they're external so there must be a reason for external so there must be a reason for external so there must be a reason for that you know and that reason possibly that you know and that reason possibly that you know and that reason possibly could be you know because the inside of could be you know because the inside of could be you know because the inside of our bodies is around about 97 98 Degrees our bodies is around about 97 98 Degrees our bodies is around about 97 98 Degrees okay so that's pretty hot but on the
20:00okay so that's pretty hot but on the okay so that's pretty hot but on the outside of our bodies it's cooler okay outside of our bodies it's cooler okay outside of our bodies it's cooler okay so it that could be the very reason why so it that could be the very reason why so it that could be the very reason why you know you know you know um a coal plunge or a cold shower could um a coal plunge or a cold shower could um a coal plunge or a cold shower could help you actually stimulate help you actually stimulate help you actually stimulate you know testosterone you know testosterone you know testosterone um production and also increase your um production and also increase your um production and also increase your sperm count as well too and that's one sperm count as well too and that's one sperm count as well too and that's one of the things that they tell men to do of the things that they tell men to do of the things that they tell men to do who have low spraying counts as well too who have low spraying counts as well too who have low spraying counts as well too is to use these ice packs or you know is to use these ice packs or you know is to use these ice packs or you know gel cooling gel packs as well too and so gel cooling gel packs as well too and so gel cooling gel packs as well too and so that makes sense as well too now that makes sense as well too now that makes sense as well too now few tips if you're gonna try this few few tips if you're gonna try this few few tips if you're gonna try this few tips alright so you need the lure the tips alright so you need the lure the tips alright so you need the lure the water temp to less than 60 degrees now water temp to less than 60 degrees now water temp to less than 60 degrees now most of us don't have 60 degrees on the most of us don't have 60 degrees on the most of us don't have 60 degrees on the on the knob in the shower or in the on the knob in the shower or in the on the knob in the shower or in the bathtub but bathtub but bathtub but it needs to be cold enough to be mild to it needs to be cold enough to be mild to it needs to be cold enough to be mild to be just uncomfortable okay the other be just uncomfortable okay the other be just uncomfortable okay the other thing is you need to expose yourself for
21:00thing is you need to expose yourself for thing is you need to expose yourself for at least two to three minutes okay at least two to three minutes okay at least two to three minutes okay now here's a tip for you get a little now here's a tip for you get a little now here's a tip for you get a little water here 's a tip for you 's a tip for you you could rotate back between you could rotate back between you could rotate back between warm or lukewarm water warm or lukewarm water warm or lukewarm water to cold so you can do that for three to cold so you can do that for three to cold so you can do that for three bouts so you can go back to the warm bouts so you can go back to the warm bouts so you can go back to the warm and then do cold for a minute then go and then do cold for a minute then go and then do cold for a minute then go back to the warm and then do cold for back to the warm and then do cold for back to the warm and then do cold for another minute then go back to the another minute then go back to the another minute then go back to the lukewarm then do cold for another women lukewarm then do cold for another women lukewarm then do cold for another women a minute a minute a minute that is actually helpful as well too that is actually helpful as well too that is actually helpful as well too because now you're exercising not only because now you're exercising not only because now you're exercising not only you know your body's nervous system but you know your body's nervous system but you know your body's nervous system but you're also ex stimulating the immune you're also ex stimulating the immune you're also ex stimulating the immune system as well too going back and forth system as well too going back and forth system as well too going back and forth now I'll give you guys some cases where now I'll give you guys some cases where now I'll give you guys some cases where you definitely shouldn't do this you definitely shouldn't do this you definitely shouldn't do this if you are already sick you know out and if you are already sick you know out and if you are already sick you know out and your immune system is compromised I your immune system is compromised I your immune system is compromised I wouldn't necessarily recommend this that
22:00wouldn't necessarily recommend this that wouldn't necessarily recommend this that back and forth therapy it may be too back and forth therapy it may be too back and forth therapy it may be too much for you okay if you have problems much for you okay if you have problems much for you okay if you have problems in terms of like physical problems in in terms of like physical problems in in terms of like physical problems in the shower then you definitely don't the shower then you definitely don't the shower then you definitely don't want to do the shower you may want to want to do the shower you may want to want to do the shower you may want to consider the ice plunge but consider the ice plunge but consider the ice plunge but um I would definitely be a little bit um I would definitely be a little bit um I would definitely be a little bit cautious about that to start off I would cautious about that to start off I would cautious about that to start off I would always tell people if you have any uh always tell people if you have any uh always tell people if you have any uh Mobility problems you can start off in Mobility problems you can start off in Mobility problems you can start off in the bathtub that way you're just sitting the bathtub that way you're just sitting the bathtub that way you're just sitting down into the water and there's not too down into the water and there's not too down into the water and there's not too much of a shock to you okay so I hope much of a shock to you okay so I hope much of a shock to you okay so I hope this has been helpful this has been helpful this has been helpful um if you already take cold showers or um if you already take cold showers or um if you already take cold showers or you know you do ice baths tap into the you know you do ice baths tap into the you know you do ice baths tap into the comments let me know what your comments let me know what your comments let me know what your experience has been as well too experience has been as well too experience has been as well too especially if you've seen some of the especially if you've seen some of the especially if you've seen some of the benefits that we talked about today okay benefits that we talked about today okay benefits that we talked about today okay peace
