04:00i've been very i've been very turned off is not the right word but turned off is not the right word but turned off is not the right word but like the like the like the the feeling of not of not like the feeling of not of not like the feeling of not of not like being able to breathe well yeah being able to breathe well yeah being able to breathe well yeah i can't i don't handle that well um i can't i don't handle that well um i can't i don't handle that well um and so i think i've just avoided it in and so i think i've just avoided it in and so i think i've just avoided it in the past the past the past but now i'm like after that one time but now i'm like after that one time but now i'm like after that one time that i went to hot yoga i was like that i went to hot yoga i was like that i went to hot yoga i was like oh i love this this is awesome my eyes oh i love this this is awesome my eyes oh i love this this is awesome my eyes i don't know about that um but as far as i don't know about that um but as far as i don't know about that um but as far as like right now like right now like right now no i'm not doing anything except for no i'm not doing anything except for no i'm not doing anything except for maybe taking like a scalding hot shower maybe taking like a scalding hot shower maybe taking like a scalding hot shower yeah yeah no yeah i feel that yeah yeah no yeah i feel that yeah yeah no yeah i feel that i feel if if you're able to tolerate hot i feel if if you're able to tolerate hot i feel if if you're able to tolerate hot yoga yoga yoga or in your you know sense enjoy it or in your you know sense enjoy it or in your you know sense enjoy it um it's probably as hot um it's probably as hot um it's probably as hot in hot yoga as in the sauna i'm not sure in hot yoga as in the sauna i'm not sure in hot yoga as in the sauna i'm not sure i don't know the temperature differences i don't know the temperature differences i don't know the temperature differences um but uh but yeah you're just chilling um but uh but yeah you're just chilling
05:00um but uh but yeah you're just chilling in the sauna you're just sitting there in the sauna you're just sitting there in the sauna you're just sitting there uh well uh well uh well i'll say american sauna i'll put that i'll say american sauna i'll put that i'll say american sauna i'll put that out there because i was listening to the out there because i was listening to the out there because i was listening to the guy guy guy oh and i can't remember his name that he oh and i can't remember his name that he oh and i can't remember his name that he started um four sigmatic that started um four sigmatic that started um four sigmatic that um like mushroom i guess he's the right um like mushroom i guess he's the right um like mushroom i guess he's the right word company word company word company um and so sauna is um and so sauna is um and so sauna is a finish practice um a finish practice um a finish practice um it's always after some type of exercise it's always after some type of exercise it's always after some type of exercise it's a lot longer than what we typically it's a lot longer than what we typically it's a lot longer than what we typically do um do um do um and then there's a lot more as far as and then there's a lot more as far as and then there's a lot more as far as like the ritual of it like the ritual of it like the ritual of it so there's um i can't remember what type so there's um i can't remember what type so there's um i can't remember what type of of of plant or branch but they like plant or branch but they like plant or branch but they like slap you with those branches um to like slap you with those branches um to like slap you with those branches um to like yeah i've seen that like all that so yeah i've seen that like all that so yeah i've seen that like all that so um so that would be a fun experience to um so that would be a fun experience to um so that would be a fun experience to to do that to do that to do that somewhere as well um somewhere as well um somewhere as well um but uh but yeah i i would imagine that
06:00but uh but yeah i i would imagine that but uh but yeah i i would imagine that if you could get through hot yoga than if you could get through hot yoga than if you could get through hot yoga than just chilling just chilling just chilling and sitting in a sauna for you know 15 and sitting in a sauna for you know 15 and sitting in a sauna for you know 15 minutes after a workout would minutes after a workout would minutes after a workout would wouldn't be that bad i i will say the wouldn't be that bad i i will say the wouldn't be that bad i i will say the only thing with it only thing with it only thing with it and it's similar to ice baths is you and it's similar to ice baths is you and it's similar to ice baths is you just get in your head just get in your head just get in your head and it's just like all i'm doing is and it's just like all i'm doing is and it's just like all i'm doing is sitting here i'm uncomfortable sitting here i'm uncomfortable sitting here i'm uncomfortable i can't breathe and say like how long i can't breathe and say like how long i can't breathe and say like how long has it been it's like ah it's been 30 has it been it's like ah it's been 30 has it been it's like ah it's been 30 seconds that's great seconds that's great seconds that's great awesome so i think for me it's like a awesome so i think for me it's like a awesome so i think for me it's like a it's a breath control thing like it's a breath control thing like it's a breath control thing like the times that i've done it before i the times that i've done it before i the times that i've done it before i haven't really been thinking about it haven't really been thinking about it haven't really been thinking about it it's been like i said like at a spa this it's been like i said like at a spa this it's been like i said like at a spa this is like is like is like college years and you like let me go get college years and you like let me go get college years and you like let me go get a massage and then everybody's like oh a massage and then everybody's like oh a massage and then everybody's like oh let's go to the let's go to the let's go to the sauna and i go in there i'm like this is sauna and i go in there i'm like this is sauna and i go in there i'm like this is terrible like i can't breathe terrible like i can't breathe terrible like i can't breathe um but like i think that's why um but like i think that's why um but like i think that's why hot yoga acclimated me to it better hot yoga acclimated me to it better hot yoga acclimated me to it better because you're because you're because you're thinking about your breathing you're
07:00thinking about your breathing you're thinking about your breathing you're like being very intentional like being very intentional like being very intentional and that's what it takes to like you know like get through it yeah i you know like get through it yeah i don't know don't know don't know um so all right so preparing for this um so all right so preparing for this um so all right so preparing for this this talk i didn't know a lot of the this talk i didn't know a lot of the this talk i didn't know a lot of the research behind research behind research behind saunas and ice baths i'd heard a lot saunas and ice baths i'd heard a lot saunas and ice baths i'd heard a lot and um and i mean i i loved getting in and um and i mean i i loved getting in and um and i mean i i loved getting in the sauna myself the sauna myself the sauna myself and then when i was studying and then when i was studying and then when i was studying for the my physical therapy national for the my physical therapy national for the my physical therapy national board exam board exam board exam uh i was doing cold showers like i would uh i was doing cold showers like i would uh i was doing cold showers like i would take a warm shower take a warm shower take a warm shower and then like the last little bit i and then like the last little bit i and then like the last little bit i would turn it on all the way cold would turn it on all the way cold would turn it on all the way cold and just sit there for a while and it and just sit there for a while and it and just sit there for a while and it sucked it was nice because it'll wake me sucked it was nice because it'll wake me sucked it was nice because it'll wake me up in the morning and get me going but up in the morning and get me going but up in the morning and get me going but it was bad um it was bad um it was bad um during law school yeah so just like that during law school yeah so just like that during law school yeah so just like that um so like with that i just didn't know um so like with that i just didn't know um so like with that i just didn't know a lot of the research a lot of the research a lot of the research everything that i was hearing i was like
08:00everything that i was hearing i was like everything that i was hearing i was like oh there's all these health benefits but oh there's all these health benefits but oh there's all these health benefits but they'll never talk about the health they'll never talk about the health they'll never talk about the health benefits benefits benefits that's you know that's like oh eating that's you know that's like oh eating that's you know that's like oh eating right is good for you and they just right is good for you and they just right is good for you and they just never talk about never talk about never talk about anything i just say it's good for you anything i just say it's good for you anything i just say it's good for you right wow right wow right wow um but i found it interesting that there are like a ton of different health there are like a ton of different health benefits for sauna benefits for sauna benefits for sauna and um like reducing blood pressure and um like reducing blood pressure and um like reducing blood pressure um just any like cardiovascular um just any like cardiovascular um just any like cardiovascular marker you think like there's been a marker you think like there's been a marker you think like there's been a research study about it with sauna research study about it with sauna research study about it with sauna and so it's pretty interesting but and so it's pretty interesting but and so it's pretty interesting but with ice baths with ice baths with ice baths nothing like everything is nothing like everything is nothing like everything is everything is um placebo what they found everything is um placebo what they found everything is um placebo what they found um do it or like anecdotal um do it or like anecdotal um do it or like anecdotal yeah um and so it especially yeah um and so it especially yeah um and so it especially so many athletes that's like a
09:00so many athletes that's like a so many athletes that's like a common thing of like oh yeah after common thing of like oh yeah after common thing of like oh yeah after soccer practice like go get my staff soccer practice like go get my staff soccer practice like go get my staff like like like yeah yeah so there were two things there yeah yeah so there were two things there yeah yeah so there were two things there that that that um that one we just didn't know why we um that one we just didn't know why we um that one we just didn't know why we did that did that did that um and still with ice for a long time to um and still with ice for a long time to um and still with ice for a long time to treat injuries treat injuries treat injuries uh we would do ice but now especially uh we would do ice but now especially uh we would do ice but now especially like with the push with athletic like with the push with athletic like with the push with athletic training and what we know about that now training and what we know about that now training and what we know about that now we're straying away from ice because we're straying away from ice because we're straying away from ice because you're just delaying the healing you're just delaying the healing you're just delaying the healing response response response it might feel good it might reduce it might feel good it might reduce it might feel good it might reduce swelling things like that but swelling things like that but swelling things like that but your body needs blood flow to that area your body needs blood flow to that area your body needs blood flow to that area to heal to heal to heal it so ice really isn't that great yeah it so ice really isn't that great yeah it so ice really isn't that great yeah so not sure why we have always done like so not sure why we have always done like so not sure why we have always done like oh yeah you did a hard oh yeah you did a hard oh yeah you did a hard you know workout or you had a hard you know workout or you had a hard you know workout or you had a hard practice go jump in the ice bath not practice go jump in the ice bath not practice go jump in the ice bath not sure why we did that sure why we did that sure why we did that um but the second thing um was that it um but the second thing um was that it um but the second thing um was that it didn't matter didn't matter didn't matter um like how long you're in the ice bath um like how long you're in the ice bath um like how long you're in the ice bath how cold the ice bath was how cold the ice bath was how cold the ice bath was um and all that and so it really
10:00um and all that and so it really um and all that and so it really kind of it for me played into okay maybe kind of it for me played into okay maybe kind of it for me played into okay maybe just a mindset thing just a mindset thing just a mindset thing um with if you can get in an ice bath um with if you can get in an ice bath um with if you can get in an ice bath for 30 minutes or hour long for 30 minutes or hour long for 30 minutes or hour long after a workout well then like mentally after a workout well then like mentally after a workout well then like mentally that that that's just you're tough you are that's just you're tough you are that's just you're tough you are mentally tough like just kind of mentally tough like just kind of mentally tough like just kind of building your fortitude there i guess building your fortitude there i guess building your fortitude there i guess um which have you heard of wim hof um which have you heard of wim hof um which have you heard of wim hof mm-hmm okay so that's that's all i was mm-hmm okay so that's that's all i was mm-hmm okay so that's that's all i was thinking of when i was like looking into thinking of when i was like looking into thinking of when i was like looking into it was like it was like it was like that's the premise like it has nothing that's the premise like it has nothing that's the premise like it has nothing to do with ice it just has to do with to do with ice it just has to do with to do with ice it just has to do with like like you're breathing yeah we watched the what's going on we yeah we watched the what's going on we watched the goop watched the goop watched the goop uh or the gooble labs or whatever with uh or the gooble labs or whatever with uh or the gooble labs or whatever with him him him the who you know goop like gwyneth the who you know goop like gwyneth the who you know goop like gwyneth paltrow i think so maybe and ashland's gonna i think so maybe and ashland's gonna like this like this like this because how have you not heard of this because how have you not heard of this because how have you not heard of this no just because of snl skits no just because of snl skits no just because of snl skits so so they she put out
11:00so so they she put out so so they she put out a series on netflix a series on netflix a series on netflix like at the beginning of the year and like at the beginning of the year and like at the beginning of the year and this is this is this is all said but you know this is all kind all said but you know this is all kind all said but you know this is all kind of she's of she's of she's out there um but they did an episode out there um but they did an episode out there um but they did an episode of the wim hof method and had him on of the wim hof method and had him on of the wim hof method and had him on there and like did a workshop with there and like did a workshop with there and like did a workshop with her staff and it's fascinating her staff and it's fascinating her staff and it's fascinating because it's like he makes them go because it's like he makes them go because it's like he makes them go through all these like breathing through all these like breathing through all these like breathing practices practices practices and then makes them go jump in a cold and then makes them go jump in a cold and then makes them go jump in a cold lake lake lake and i was like i want to do this tyler is like i want to do it i'm going tyler is like i want to do it i'm going to go hop in a cold shower and i'm like to go hop in a cold shower and i'm like to go hop in a cold shower and i'm like no yeah no yeah no yeah no that so like he and it probably no that so like he and it probably no that so like he and it probably covered it on that covered it on that covered it on that documentary like he does ridiculous documentary like he does ridiculous documentary like he does ridiculous stuff stuff stuff like hiking mountains and like swimsuit like hiking mountains and like swimsuit like hiking mountains and like swimsuit attire like attire like attire like like in a speedo yeah it's nuts like

13:00a non medically trained perspective a non medically trained perspective um but one of the like when i worked um but one of the like when i worked um but one of the like when i worked at that because i used to work at a at that because i used to work at a at that because i used to work at a cairo pt office cairo pt office cairo pt office um and massage therapy um and massage therapy um and massage therapy place um place um place um they were big on heat because they were big on heat because they were big on heat because um my boss used to say like you really um my boss used to say like you really um my boss used to say like you really only want to use only want to use only want to use ice if there's like an ice if there's like an ice if there's like an actual injury that you're trying to like actual injury that you're trying to like actual injury that you're trying to like i don't know what you're trying to like i don't know what you're trying to like i don't know what you're trying to like stop but you're trying to like stop but you're trying to like stop but you're trying to like put some eyes on the injury but when put some eyes on the injury but when put some eyes on the injury but when you're wanting to heal something you're wanting to heal something you're wanting to heal something you want heat because like you said it's you want heat because like you said it's you want heat because like you said it's gonna encourage blood flow gonna encourage blood flow gonna encourage blood flow and you know bring that attention to and you know bring that attention to and you know bring that attention to that area that area that area um so yeah that's super interesting um so yeah that's super interesting um so yeah that's super interesting i'm like maybe i just want to be i'm like maybe i just want to be i'm like maybe i just want to be mentally weak and like not being at mentally weak and like not being at mentally weak and like not being at night night night you're like maybe i'm cool with that you're like maybe i'm cool with that you're like maybe i'm cool with that i'll just go sweat
