11:00done tons of things since then so you done tons of things since then so you know from cold plunging like know from cold plunging like know from cold plunging like you know immune system that's what got you know immune system that's what got you know immune system that's what got me into it and I think you kind of me into it and I think you kind of me into it and I think you kind of touched on it there are so many other touched on it there are so many other touched on it there are so many other sides to it that I lean more into the sides to it that I lean more into the sides to it that I lean more into the mental the physical there you're gonna mental the physical there you're gonna mental the physical there you're gonna get it you're gonna get the blood flow get it you're gonna get the blood flow get it you're gonna get the blood flow you're gonna get the recovery time you're gonna get the recovery time you're gonna get the recovery time you're going to get the lowering of you're going to get the lowering of you're going to get the lowering of inflammation all great all incredible inflammation all great all incredible inflammation all great all incredible especially for this audience you know especially for this audience you know especially for this audience you know golfing you know always looking for that golfing you know always looking for that golfing you know always looking for that edge sore body sore muscles like very edge sore body sore muscles like very edge sore body sore muscles like very unique movements unique movements unique movements um where that's helpful but to me the um where that's helpful but to me the um where that's helpful but to me the big big big the big needle that's moving forward is the big needle that's moving forward is the big needle that's moving forward is this mental side and that's been showing this mental side and that's been showing this mental side and that's been showing to you know Andrew huberman big to you know Andrew huberman big to you know Andrew huberman big proponent of this Dr Andrew huberman proponent of this Dr Andrew huberman proponent of this Dr Andrew huberman dopamine levels increasing Baseline dopamine levels increasing Baseline dopamine levels increasing Baseline dopling levels this is dopling levels this is dopling levels this is you know long term like you come out of you know long term like you come out of you know long term like you come out of there I'm sure you have a unique feeling there I'm sure you have a unique feeling there I'm sure you have a unique feeling after you get in your pool for you know after you get in your pool for you know after you get in your pool for you know a few minutes there's there's this a few minutes there's there's this a few minutes there's there's this sensation yeah love to hear how that sensation yeah love to hear how that sensation yeah love to hear how that feels to you well yeah I mean I've got feels to you well yeah I mean I've got feels to you well yeah I mean I've got the card way before the horse but folks the card way before the horse but folks the card way before the horse but folks who listen to this a lot will know that
12:00who listen to this a lot will know that who listen to this a lot will know that because my mind's like all over the show because my mind's like all over the show because my mind's like all over the show but you're right when you're in there but you're right when you're in there but you're right when you're in there well first I want to talk to you about well first I want to talk to you about well first I want to talk to you about the apprehensive nature about it and I the apprehensive nature about it and I the apprehensive nature about it and I want your take it's kind of like the want your take it's kind of like the want your take it's kind of like the expert here but when you get out expert here but when you get out expert here but when you get out I'm struck out you know my torso you can I'm struck out you know my torso you can I'm struck out you know my torso you can see how the blood has come to the see how the blood has come to the see how the blood has come to the surface like your abdomen changes color surface like your abdomen changes color surface like your abdomen changes color and in a weird sort of sense you feel and in a weird sort of sense you feel and in a weird sort of sense you feel warm inside even though the outside of warm inside even though the outside of warm inside even though the outside of your body is cold and then once maybe your body is cold and then once maybe your body is cold and then once maybe you've taken a shower or whatever you you've taken a shower or whatever you you've taken a shower or whatever you know 20 30 minutes later know 20 30 minutes later know 20 30 minutes later I couldn't even describe the sensation I I couldn't even describe the sensation I I couldn't even describe the sensation I wouldn't say it's exhilaration because wouldn't say it's exhilaration because wouldn't say it's exhilaration because you're not like amped but but there's you're not like amped but but there's you're not like amped but but there's just this like just this like just this like everything's right everything's well everything's right everything's well everything's right everything's well over the world kind of thing and I'm over the world kind of thing and I'm over the world kind of thing and I'm assuming that is the dopamine levels am assuming that is the dopamine levels am assuming that is the dopamine levels am I wrong in my assumption there no you're I wrong in my assumption there no you're I wrong in my assumption there no you're absolutely right and I mean the the absolutely right and I mean the the absolutely right and I mean the the increase there is you know two to two increase there is you know two to two increase there is you know two to two hundred percent 250 of dopamine levels hundred percent 250 of dopamine levels hundred percent 250 of dopamine levels and it's not like a and it's not like a and it's not like a and how it hits the bodies very and how it hits the bodies very and how it hits the bodies very different it kind of
13:00different it kind of different it kind of um um it's not an immediate hit it's a lasting it's not an immediate hit it's a lasting it's not an immediate hit it's a lasting hit so it's one that you don't like hit so it's one that you don't like hit so it's one that you don't like sometimes you can have a dopamine like sometimes you can have a dopamine like sometimes you can have a dopamine like here here's the example and they relate here here's the example and they relate here here's the example and they relate it to this there's cocaine you take you it to this there's cocaine you take you it to this there's cocaine you take you know anyone that's ever done cocaine you know anyone that's ever done cocaine you know anyone that's ever done cocaine you do it you might get the high but there's do it you might get the high but there's do it you might get the high but there's a trade-off and you get low and you a trade-off and you get low and you a trade-off and you get low and you swing were you getting a cold plunge you swing were you getting a cold plunge you swing were you getting a cold plunge you get the high it's truly High get the high it's truly High get the high it's truly High but you don't go low it sustains and you but you don't go low it sustains and you but you don't go low it sustains and you you stay there you don't swing back in you stay there you don't swing back in you stay there you don't swing back in there's not this dirty trade-off to it there's not this dirty trade-off to it there's not this dirty trade-off to it which is which is which is um you know which we're super excited um you know which we're super excited um you know which we're super excited from a mental health like anxiety from a mental health like anxiety from a mental health like anxiety depression standpoint may I ask it just depression standpoint may I ask it just depression standpoint may I ask it just didn't interest you I didn't mention to didn't interest you I didn't mention to didn't interest you I didn't mention to you that I'm big about folks you that I'm big about folks you that I'm big about folks understandings and I don't want to be understandings and I don't want to be understandings and I don't want to be one of these where we're throwing these one of these where we're throwing these one of these where we're throwing these terms around and someone listening or terms around and someone listening or terms around and someone listening or watching's like okay I've lost them watching's like okay I've lost them watching's like okay I've lost them um um dopamine dopamine what is its influence dopamine dopamine what is its influence dopamine dopamine what is its influence in the human body in the human body in the human body it's a hormone right correct it's a it's a hormone right correct it's a it's a hormone right correct it's a hormone adrenaline is kind of the hormone adrenaline is kind of the hormone adrenaline is kind of the initiator to it so when you get in
14:00initiator to it so when you get in initiator to it so when you get in you're you're spiking your adrenaline you're you're spiking your adrenaline you're you're spiking your adrenaline um and you're learning to kind of um and you're learning to kind of um and you're learning to kind of control that system that that's control that system that that's control that system that that's kind of part one that's happening you kind of part one that's happening you kind of part one that's happening you get into an adrenaline packed stressful get into an adrenaline packed stressful get into an adrenaline packed stressful environment and heart rate Rises you environment and heart rate Rises you environment and heart rate Rises you know all the alerts go off in the body know all the alerts go off in the body know all the alerts go off in the body like you said your blood starts flowing like you said your blood starts flowing like you said your blood starts flowing to your organs because it wants to to your organs because it wants to to your organs because it wants to protect itself so that starts to happen protect itself so that starts to happen protect itself so that starts to happen and you go through this experience and you go through this experience and you go through this experience so by doing cold plunging you're so by doing cold plunging you're so by doing cold plunging you're basically training your nervous system basically training your nervous system basically training your nervous system you're learning how to breathe you're you're learning how to breathe you're you're learning how to breathe you're learning how to calm so there's this learning how to calm so there's this learning how to calm so there's this whole whole whole stress response that's happening which stress response that's happening which stress response that's happening which is arguably one of again one of the is arguably one of again one of the is arguably one of again one of the biggest things that's there dopamine biggest things that's there dopamine biggest things that's there dopamine dopam means the precursor for you know dopam means the precursor for you know dopam means the precursor for you know when we we have healthy levels of when we we have healthy levels of when we we have healthy levels of dopamine that's Focus that's motivation dopamine that's Focus that's motivation dopamine that's Focus that's motivation um those are the those are the areas um those are the those are the areas um those are the those are the areas that that that that plays into and again we all have that plays into and again we all have that plays into and again we all have dopamine is one that we can um dopamine is one that we can um dopamine is one that we can um you know certain things in life can can
15:00you know certain things in life can can you know certain things in life can can lower our Baseline dopamine levels we lower our Baseline dopamine levels we lower our Baseline dopamine levels we can all have be be low in dopamine and can all have be be low in dopamine and can all have be be low in dopamine and again that could be like you're not again that could be like you're not again that could be like you're not going to feel the motivation you're not going to feel the motivation you're not going to feel the motivation you're not going to feel that focus and so anyways going to feel that focus and so anyways going to feel that focus and so anyways cold plunging in there Dr Andrew cold plunging in there Dr Andrew cold plunging in there Dr Andrew huberman another great resource here huberman another great resource here huberman another great resource here um that more articulately explains this um that more articulately explains this um that more articulately explains this stuff stuff stuff um but he really that's his big thing is um but he really that's his big thing is um but he really that's his big thing is is talking on the dopamine well you you is talking on the dopamine well you you is talking on the dopamine well you you sort of touched them a bit then I want sort of touched them a bit then I want sort of touched them a bit then I want to get into some more benefits because to get into some more benefits because to get into some more benefits because the you know the more I do it the more I the you know the more I do it the more I the you know the more I do it the more I read about it and now obviously my read about it and now obviously my read about it and now obviously my phone's listening to me so I search cold phone's listening to me so I search cold phone's listening to me so I search cold plunge and the next thing every post I'm plunge and the next thing every post I'm plunge and the next thing every post I'm get it you know get it you know get it you know um the I I for people who were listening um the I I for people who were listening um the I I for people who were listening to this who won in our tribes I remember to this who won in our tribes I remember to this who won in our tribes I remember the first time when I got in the pool it the first time when I got in the pool it the first time when I got in the pool it was cold and you're like like whatever was cold and you're like like whatever was cold and you're like like whatever but then we get into winter and now the but then we get into winter and now the but then we get into winter and now the thing's cold and you know it and you go thing's cold and you know it and you go thing's cold and you know it and you go outside and it's you know 39 or so outside and it's you know 39 or so outside and it's you know 39 or so outside and then you're looking at this outside and then you're looking at this outside and then you're looking at this water water water there's kind of an apprehensiveness there's kind of an apprehensiveness there's kind of an apprehensiveness about it and you've got to break through about it and you've got to break through about it and you've got to break through this mental barrier and then you take a
16:00this mental barrier and then you take a this mental barrier and then you take a step into the water and it's freaking step into the water and it's freaking step into the water and it's freaking cold and then you're like oh geez and cold and then you're like oh geez and cold and then you're like oh geez and then everything in your mind wants to then everything in your mind wants to then everything in your mind wants to bail but that's where this mental uh bail but that's where this mental uh bail but that's where this mental uh resilience strength whatever you want to resilience strength whatever you want to resilience strength whatever you want to call it so it has to kick in and it's call it so it has to kick in and it's call it so it has to kick in and it's almost like breaking through levels the almost like breaking through levels the almost like breaking through levels the more you do it and I feel like that more you do it and I feel like that more you do it and I feel like that there's a sense of achievement in doing there's a sense of achievement in doing there's a sense of achievement in doing it but there's also that you get scared it but there's also that you get scared it but there's also that you get scared of this water it's the real the weirdest of this water it's the real the weirdest of this water it's the real the weirdest thing I mean am I am I crazy in this no thing I mean am I am I crazy in this no thing I mean am I am I crazy in this no it doesn't change you know I could it doesn't change you know I could it doesn't change you know I could plunge every single day every day it is plunge every single day every day it is plunge every single day every day it is non-negotiable and I still non-negotiable and I still non-negotiable and I still do a dance if I have a camera on me like do a dance if I have a camera on me like do a dance if I have a camera on me like if you were to film me I do if you were to film me I do if you were to film me I do I would my you know I get nervous before I would my you know I get nervous before I would my you know I get nervous before every single time and it doesn't change every single time and it doesn't change every single time and it doesn't change and that that's kind of the beauty of it and that that's kind of the beauty of it and that that's kind of the beauty of it is that you actually that that stays is that you actually that that stays is that you actually that that stays consistent and you you nailed it there consistent and you you nailed it there consistent and you you nailed it there is like a true is like a true is like a true you know whether you want to call it you know whether you want to call it you know whether you want to call it neuroplasticity or there is a a neuroplasticity or there is a a neuroplasticity or there is a a restructuring that takes place where you restructuring that takes place where you restructuring that takes place where you your body every single time due to a
17:00your body every single time due to a your body every single time due to a defense mechanisms like don't get into defense mechanisms like don't get into defense mechanisms like don't get into that water that's just it's just that water that's just it's just that water that's just it's just standard being a human that's dangerous standard being a human that's dangerous standard being a human that's dangerous don't go in there you go in there don't go in there you go in there don't go in there you go in there you push through everyone asks like you push through everyone asks like you push through everyone asks like what's the Right Temp and time which we what's the Right Temp and time which we what's the Right Temp and time which we can kind of get into of what that looks can kind of get into of what that looks can kind of get into of what that looks like yeah but ultimately you want to get like yeah but ultimately you want to get like yeah but ultimately you want to get in you want your breath to get taken in you want your breath to get taken in you want your breath to get taken away that's a very good sign that's what away that's a very good sign that's what away that's a very good sign that's what you want you want the one time I got you want you want the one time I got you want you want the one time I got slightly when I got in and the water was slightly when I got in and the water was slightly when I got in and the water was to my waist and I sank down and I took to my waist and I sank down and I took to my waist and I sank down and I took one of those sort of shallow breasts and one of those sort of shallow breasts and one of those sort of shallow breasts and I felt slightly lightheaded for a minute I felt slightly lightheaded for a minute I felt slightly lightheaded for a minute until I started breathing properly it until I started breathing properly it until I started breathing properly it was crazy and that yeah you know you was crazy and that yeah you know you was crazy and that yeah you know you obviously want to do in safe obviously want to do in safe obviously want to do in safe environments environments environments um um you know pools obviously a little more you know pools obviously a little more you know pools obviously a little more there's bigger environments so there's bigger environments so there's bigger environments so potentially have someone else around but potentially have someone else around but potentially have someone else around but you want your temp to be at a certain you want your temp to be at a certain you want your temp to be at a certain degree which we can we can get into that degree which we can we can get into that degree which we can we can get into that but but but you know you want that breath to get you know you want that breath to get you know you want that breath to get taken away and then taken away and then taken away and then you really want to just push through you really want to just push through you really want to just push through you're going to hit some some wall
18:00you're going to hit some some wall you're going to hit some some wall that's just like vary your body's that's just like vary your body's that's just like vary your body's yelling to get out of there and then yelling to get out of there and then yelling to get out of there and then you'll you'll usually at about 30 you'll you'll usually at about 30 you'll you'll usually at about 30 seconds to a minute kind of settle in seconds to a minute kind of settle in seconds to a minute kind of settle in yeah your system will you know and it'll yeah your system will you know and it'll yeah your system will you know and it'll teach you how to breathe like you either teach you how to breathe like you either teach you how to breathe like you either will keep fighting it will keep fighting it will keep fighting it which is which is the more you can just release and the more you can just release and the more you can just release and surrender into the experience is what surrender into the experience is what surrender into the experience is what you're looking for and that's what your you're looking for and that's what your you're looking for and that's what your body's looking to kind of relax into body's looking to kind of relax into body's looking to kind of relax into this stressful environment this stressful environment this stressful environment I need to interrupt because you hit you I need to interrupt because you hit you I need to interrupt because you hit you made such a good point there and made such a good point there and made such a good point there and I've talked with you know neuro people I've talked with you know neuro people I've talked with you know neuro people and stuff and psychologists and you talk and stuff and psychologists and you talk and stuff and psychologists and you talk about the central nervous system and you about the central nervous system and you about the central nervous system and you go from sympathetic to parasympathetic go from sympathetic to parasympathetic go from sympathetic to parasympathetic and it's that if you start breathing and it's that if you start breathing and it's that if you start breathing properly you are almost teaching your properly you are almost teaching your properly you are almost teaching your system to settle down in the face of system to settle down in the face of system to settle down in the face of this adversity where most folks get into this adversity where most folks get into this adversity where most folks get into the panic mode and for a golfer there's the panic mode and for a golfer there's the panic mode and for a golfer there's a term called choking athletes you you a term called choking athletes you you a term called choking athletes you you know the sort of stuff when there's high know the sort of stuff when there's high know the sort of stuff when there's high pressure up everything's dangerous your pressure up everything's dangerous your pressure up everything's dangerous your body gets into fight or flights and when
19:00body gets into fight or flights and when body gets into fight or flights and when you're in this water you're in that mode you're in this water you're in that mode you're in this water you're in that mode and then by the breathing and by the and then by the breathing and by the and then by the breathing and by the being present and the meditation that being present and the meditation that being present and the meditation that sort of stuff you get yourself to this sort of stuff you get yourself to this sort of stuff you get yourself to this place where you're like okay I'm okay place where you're like okay I'm okay place where you're like okay I'm okay and and everything slows down and and and everything slows down and and and everything slows down and settles down and then the feeling even settles down and then the feeling even settles down and then the feeling even inside the water to me is it's nothing inside the water to me is it's nothing inside the water to me is it's nothing short of exhilarating like my senses are short of exhilarating like my senses are short of exhilarating like my senses are heightened because our pool looks at a heightened because our pool looks at a heightened because our pool looks at a stand of trees behind there and so I'll stand of trees behind there and so I'll stand of trees behind there and so I'll listen eyes closed listen to the birds listen eyes closed listen to the birds listen eyes closed listen to the birds and you catch the sun on your cheek or and you catch the sun on your cheek or and you catch the sun on your cheek or whatever it's truly a spiritual whatever it's truly a spiritual whatever it's truly a spiritual experience really experience really experience really yeah it totally and it's it you nailed yeah it totally and it's it you nailed yeah it totally and it's it you nailed it it's like you do get more it is a it it's like you do get more it is a it it's like you do get more it is a stress test yeah that you get to widen stress test yeah that you get to widen stress test yeah that you get to widen your spectrum of being able to lower your spectrum of being able to lower your spectrum of being able to lower your heart rate because that's that's your heart rate because that's that's your heart rate because that's that's what you're doing from a what you're doing from a what you're doing from a you know physiological standpoint you you know physiological standpoint you you know physiological standpoint you want to lower your heart rate in this want to lower your heart rate in this want to lower your heart rate in this stressful environment so whether you're stressful environment so whether you're stressful environment so whether you're teeing off on the opening hole of a teeing off on the opening hole of a teeing off on the opening hole of a tournament with a bunch of people around tournament with a bunch of people around tournament with a bunch of people around which is you know stressful yeah um or which is you know stressful yeah um or which is you know stressful yeah um or you're driving in a car and someone cuts you're driving in a car and someone cuts you're driving in a car and someone cuts you off and there's there's reactionary you off and there's there's reactionary you off and there's there's reactionary like adrenaline kicks in you get
20:00like adrenaline kicks in you get like adrenaline kicks in you get heightened there's a you learn heightened there's a you learn heightened there's a you learn your body starts to get normalized with your body starts to get normalized with your body starts to get normalized with those type of experience so it's as those type of experience so it's as those type of experience so it's as opposed to a reactionary Outlet to it opposed to a reactionary Outlet to it opposed to a reactionary Outlet to it you actually get a little more control you actually get a little more control you actually get a little more control in those situations and it builds over in those situations and it builds over in those situations and it builds over time it's not a it's not a one-hit time it's not a it's not a one-hit time it's not a it's not a one-hit wonder wonder wonder um but your body gets used to that um but your body gets used to that um but your body gets used to that stress and so you kind of work it in stress and so you kind of work it in stress and so you kind of work it in um so yeah I mean it's definitely one um so yeah I mean it's definitely one um so yeah I mean it's definitely one that is I I I call the plunge a jungle that is I I I call the plunge a jungle that is I I I call the plunge a jungle gym or a workout gym for your uh for gym or a workout gym for your uh for gym or a workout gym for your uh for your nervous system you know we go to a your nervous system you know we go to a your nervous system you know we go to a gym for our muscles and you go you get gym for our muscles and you go you get gym for our muscles and you go you get in a plunge for your nervous system and in a plunge for your nervous system and in a plunge for your nervous system and that's that's that's one more thing I want to share this one more thing I want to share this one more thing I want to share this actually read this last night in my actually read this last night in my actually read this last night in my travels I was kind of I guess I Was travels I was kind of I guess I Was travels I was kind of I guess I Was preparing for a conversation I'm from preparing for a conversation I'm from preparing for a conversation I'm from South Africa originally South Africa originally South Africa originally um and you know we have a bunch of um and you know we have a bunch of um and you know we have a bunch of wildlife over there and wildlife over there and wildlife over there and I a lot I've learned is from watching I a lot I've learned is from watching I a lot I've learned is from watching nature because nature hasn't really nature because nature hasn't really nature because nature hasn't really cocked things up like some of us human
21:00cocked things up like some of us human cocked things up like some of us human beings have you know they just work if beings have you know they just work if beings have you know they just work if you're a zebra you'd be a zebra you you're a zebra you'd be a zebra you you're a zebra you'd be a zebra you don't try and be something else kind of don't try and be something else kind of don't try and be something else kind of deal and it speaks of a number of deal and it speaks of a number of deal and it speaks of a number of antelope and that sort of thing when antelope and that sort of thing when antelope and that sort of thing when they have a some sort of an harrowing they have a some sort of an harrowing they have a some sort of an harrowing experience like Chase down by a lion experience like Chase down by a lion experience like Chase down by a lion when they escape you'll see them they when they escape you'll see them they when they escape you'll see them they always Shake themselves off for a little always Shake themselves off for a little always Shake themselves off for a little while and that's them sort of shaking while and that's them sort of shaking while and that's them sort of shaking off the experience so they're releasing off the experience so they're releasing off the experience so they're releasing this trauma but a human being when we this trauma but a human being when we this trauma but a human being when we have an experience we own this thing and have an experience we own this thing and have an experience we own this thing and then we go and talk to someone about it then we go and talk to someone about it then we go and talk to someone about it and then you just keep reliving the and then you just keep reliving the and then you just keep reliving the thing and you embed this inside of your thing and you embed this inside of your thing and you embed this inside of your psyche where to me I guess and this is psyche where to me I guess and this is psyche where to me I guess and this is where I feel like it's helped me all where I feel like it's helped me all where I feel like it's helped me all this Eurozone Golf and stuff and I've this Eurozone Golf and stuff and I've this Eurozone Golf and stuff and I've had an accident on a bike as well all had an accident on a bike as well all had an accident on a bike as well all the stuff's inside there and and we wind the stuff's inside there and and we wind the stuff's inside there and and we wind ourselves up so tight that eventually ourselves up so tight that eventually ourselves up so tight that eventually we're wondering why are we getting sick we're wondering why are we getting sick we're wondering why are we getting sick and stuff and and the cold water to me and stuff and and the cold water to me and stuff and and the cold water to me has helped me to sort of has helped me to sort of has helped me to sort of be able to settle down a little bit be able to settle down a little bit be able to settle down a little bit I think it's a it's it's a paradox you I think it's a it's it's a paradox you I think it's a it's it's a paradox you get in you push through that discomfort
22:00get in you push through that discomfort get in you push through that discomfort and it becomes a very meditative and it becomes a very meditative and it becomes a very meditative experience yeah like you it it sounds experience yeah like you it it sounds experience yeah like you it it sounds bizarre it sounds like that makes no bizarre it sounds like that makes no bizarre it sounds like that makes no sense uh but you do it you spend three sense uh but you do it you spend three sense uh but you do it you spend three minutes in there two and a half minutes minutes in there two and a half minutes minutes in there two and a half minutes whatever whatever that number is whatever whatever that number is whatever whatever that number is you're gonna hit this space where it's you're gonna hit this space where it's you're gonna hit this space where it's there's peace you have Clarity it's you there's peace you have Clarity it's you there's peace you have Clarity it's you have a calm mind and and you know I have a calm mind and and you know I have a calm mind and and you know I don't I totally know what you mean when don't I totally know what you mean when don't I totally know what you mean when you say it feels like a spiritual you say it feels like a spiritual you say it feels like a spiritual experience we're teasing folks to go and experience we're teasing folks to go and experience we're teasing folks to go and try it okay before we tell them how to try it okay before we tell them how to try it okay before we tell them how to try or maybe get a cold plunge tub try or maybe get a cold plunge tub try or maybe get a cold plunge tub um let's go through some more of the um let's go through some more of the um let's go through some more of the benefits of it and then I do want to benefits of it and then I do want to benefits of it and then I do want to touch like the mechanics like the length touch like the mechanics like the length touch like the mechanics like the length of time that sort of stuff tip what a of time that sort of stuff tip what a of time that sort of stuff tip what a temperature temperature temperature um on your website I went and checked it um on your website I went and checked it um on your website I went and checked it out but you know there's it helps you out but you know there's it helps you out but you know there's it helps you um upgrade your energy levels um upgrade your energy levels um upgrade your energy levels um recovery is a big deal all the um recovery is a big deal all the um recovery is a big deal all the athletes use ice boss for Recovery athletes use ice boss for Recovery athletes use ice boss for Recovery um but I want to talk about this you've um but I want to talk about this you've um but I want to talk about this you've talked about the immunosupport and the talked about the immunosupport and the talked about the immunosupport and the dopamine levels dopamine levels dopamine levels you guys also talk about mood you guys also talk about mood you guys also talk about mood enhancements enhancements
23:00enhancements and and stress lowering and and stress lowering and and stress lowering um talk about those two benefits a um talk about those two benefits a um talk about those two benefits a little bit because we kind of live in an little bit because we kind of live in an little bit because we kind of live in an era nowadays where we're glued to our era nowadays where we're glued to our era nowadays where we're glued to our devices you know we're never out of devices you know we're never out of devices you know we're never out of stress really and oftentimes to get out stress really and oftentimes to get out stress really and oftentimes to get out of stress returning to alcohol or of stress returning to alcohol or of stress returning to alcohol or substance or whatever and so we're just substance or whatever and so we're just substance or whatever and so we're just stressing our our bodies more where you stressing our our bodies more where you stressing our our bodies more where you say you do this daily and I'm assuming say you do this daily and I'm assuming say you do this daily and I'm assuming that's to get your body out of this that's to get your body out of this that's to get your body out of this heightened state to something more calm heightened state to something more calm heightened state to something more calm for a little while huh yeah it's similar for a little while huh yeah it's similar for a little while huh yeah it's similar to you know a runner's high you know to you know a runner's high you know to you know a runner's high you know someone goes for running you come out someone goes for running you come out someone goes for running you come out you you or you work out you're in kind you you or you work out you're in kind you you or you work out you're in kind of a place that doesn't feel great you of a place that doesn't feel great you of a place that doesn't feel great you go spend 45 minutes exert yourself sweat go spend 45 minutes exert yourself sweat go spend 45 minutes exert yourself sweat yourself you're in a different state yourself you're in a different state yourself you're in a different state you're looking at things a little you're looking at things a little you're looking at things a little differently that's just our mechanics differently that's just our mechanics differently that's just our mechanics the unique thing about cold plunging and the unique thing about cold plunging and the unique thing about cold plunging and you know I always preface this like you know I always preface this like you know I always preface this like Copeland is not the Silver Bullet this Copeland is not the Silver Bullet this Copeland is not the Silver Bullet this is not the end all to be all answer it's is not the end all to be all answer it's is not the end all to be all answer it's another tool in the tool belt is we're another tool in the tool belt is we're another tool in the tool belt is we're all just trying to figure out what it all just trying to figure out what it all just trying to figure out what it how to be an optimized human and live how to be an optimized human and live how to be an optimized human and live live in this live our lives but it's
24:00live in this live our lives but it's live in this live our lives but it's the ROI on the time is very incredible the ROI on the time is very incredible the ROI on the time is very incredible like it's it's like it's it's like it's it's two to three minutes two to three minutes two to three minutes and that's all you got to do and you're and that's all you got to do and you're and that's all you got to do and you're out you dry off and you go on with your out you dry off and you go on with your out you dry off and you go on with your day there's nothing it's not asking you day there's nothing it's not asking you day there's nothing it's not asking you to sit and you know do some intense to sit and you know do some intense to sit and you know do some intense breath work or go on the five mile run breath work or go on the five mile run breath work or go on the five mile run or drive down to the gym and get the or drive down to the gym and get the or drive down to the gym and get the workout in it's it's just get in cold workout in it's it's just get in cold workout in it's it's just get in cold water and that you know there's levels water and that you know there's levels water and that you know there's levels to that whether it's you do it in a cold to that whether it's you do it in a cold to that whether it's you do it in a cold shower definitely can be it's a great shower definitely can be it's a great shower definitely can be it's a great place to start place to start place to start um you know we're in the winter right um you know we're in the winter right um you know we're in the winter right now most of the country is going to have now most of the country is going to have now most of the country is going to have cold water coming out of there cold water coming out of there cold water coming out of there um or you know and everyone avoids it um or you know and everyone avoids it um or you know and everyone avoids it you stick your foot in the shower you're you stick your foot in the shower you're you stick your foot in the shower you're like no and you turn the water let's like no and you turn the water let's like no and you turn the water let's scorching and I think cold showers are scorching and I think cold showers are scorching and I think cold showers are actually some of the most challenging actually some of the most challenging actually some of the most challenging it's a little different than the full it's a little different than the full it's a little different than the full submersion but it's just it's that much submersion but it's just it's that much submersion but it's just it's that much colder because it's just penetrating colder because it's just penetrating colder because it's just penetrating your skin and it's in one spot so you your skin and it's in one spot so you your skin and it's in one spot so you can almost feel the contrast so you know can almost feel the contrast so you know can almost feel the contrast so you know cold shower is a great place to start do

27:00evening a good idea or was should this evening a good idea or was should this more be in the daytime kind of thing more be in the daytime kind of thing more be in the daytime kind of thing it's a great question and I think it it's a great question and I think it it's a great question and I think it varies per person I think the sleep but varies per person I think the sleep but varies per person I think the sleep but there's two factors of what's there's two factors of what's there's two factors of what's that two among probably others but two that two among probably others but two that two among probably others but two that are more focused right now one is that are more focused right now one is that are more focused right now one is just kind of a nervous system regulation just kind of a nervous system regulation just kind of a nervous system regulation like a lot of times where that's a we're like a lot of times where that's a we're like a lot of times where that's a we're in a heightened nervous we have some in a heightened nervous we have some in a heightened nervous we have some something going on there coal plunging something going on there coal plunging something going on there coal plunging helps us regulate there regulate in the helps us regulate there regulate in the helps us regulate there regulate in the nervous system which is also one of the nervous system which is also one of the nervous system which is also one of the triggers of a lot of our hormones going triggers of a lot of our hormones going triggers of a lot of our hormones going through our body so you cold plunge you through our body so you cold plunge you through our body so you cold plunge you start to do that if you cold plunge and start to do that if you cold plunge and start to do that if you cold plunge and sauna if you do a circuit I guarantee sauna if you do a circuit I guarantee sauna if you do a circuit I guarantee that night's sleep is going to be that night's sleep is going to be that night's sleep is going to be incredible for you your body is just incredible for you your body is just incredible for you your body is just going to be Blissful and it's me ready going to be Blissful and it's me ready going to be Blissful and it's me ready to sleep so anyways that's there the to sleep so anyways that's there the to sleep so anyways that's there the other you talk about the time of day other you talk about the time of day other you talk about the time of day what I like to do what I like to do what I like to do is I so I do my main Plunge in the is I so I do my main Plunge in the is I so I do my main Plunge in the morning I get in first thing and that's morning I get in first thing and that's morning I get in first thing and that's more due to I like the energy more due to I like the energy more due to I like the energy enhancement that I feel from the morning enhancement that I feel from the morning enhancement that I feel from the morning because it kind of meets you what you're because it kind of meets you what you're because it kind of meets you what you're looking for that day it's not gonna looking for that day it's not gonna looking for that day it's not gonna most people that I talk to if they call
28:00most people that I talk to if they call most people that I talk to if they call plunge it at night it's not like they're plunge it at night it's not like they're plunge it at night it's not like they're wired and they're ready to go for their wired and they're ready to go for their wired and they're ready to go for their day their body's starting to wind down day their body's starting to wind down day their body's starting to wind down the you know normal time clocks winding the you know normal time clocks winding the you know normal time clocks winding down for the day down for the day down for the day but I like to do it first thing in the but I like to do it first thing in the but I like to do it first thing in the morning just because morning just because morning just because more things that happen I make excuses more things that happen I make excuses more things that happen I make excuses and I don't do it that's just a fact for and I don't do it that's just a fact for and I don't do it that's just a fact for me this is true and my morning gets me this is true and my morning gets me this is true and my morning gets accelerated by doing it but at night accelerated by doing it but at night accelerated by doing it but at night time I will get in for time I will get in for time I will get in for this isn't every single night but 30 to this isn't every single night but 30 to this isn't every single night but 30 to 45 seconds and why I'm doing that is I'm 45 seconds and why I'm doing that is I'm 45 seconds and why I'm doing that is I'm lowering I want to lower my core body lowering I want to lower my core body lowering I want to lower my core body temperature so you know because you'll temperature so you know because you'll temperature so you know because you'll sleep better though exactly like the ram sleep better though exactly like the ram sleep better though exactly like the ram cycle we usually need to lower our cycle we usually need to lower our cycle we usually need to lower our bodies by about two to three degrees to bodies by about two to three degrees to bodies by about two to three degrees to get down and actually our body can hit get down and actually our body can hit get down and actually our body can hit that deep sleep state so it's just a that deep sleep state so it's just a that deep sleep state so it's just a hack it's a way to accelerate you hack it's a way to accelerate you hack it's a way to accelerate you falling into sleep so a lot some people falling into sleep so a lot some people falling into sleep so a lot some people like my girlfriend she she loves to get like my girlfriend she she loves to get like my girlfriend she she loves to get in uh nighttime and that's a time for in uh nighttime and that's a time for in uh nighttime and that's a time for her she runs really warm so she'll get her she runs really warm so she'll get her she runs really warm so she'll get it in a plunge and it just kind of it in a plunge and it just kind of it in a plunge and it just kind of accelerates her sleep process that's accelerates her sleep process that's accelerates her sleep process that's more of a hack
29:00more of a hack more of a hack um but yes sleep sleep is a massive um um but yes sleep sleep is a massive um um but yes sleep sleep is a massive um massive benefit the other big one is is massive benefit the other big one is is massive benefit the other big one is is the metabolism and what it's doing on a the metabolism and what it's doing on a the metabolism and what it's doing on a metabolic rate metabolic rate metabolic rate um and this is one Dr Susanna soyberg um and this is one Dr Susanna soyberg um and this is one Dr Susanna soyberg out of uh Denmark I believe she was the out of uh Denmark I believe she was the out of uh Denmark I believe she was the one that really has brought this to the one that really has brought this to the one that really has brought this to the Forefront Forefront Forefront of um demonstrating she it was a unique of um demonstrating she it was a unique of um demonstrating she it was a unique study they did and they took study they did and they took study they did and they took um this group they did it in cold water um this group they did it in cold water um this group they did it in cold water like uh Lakes like uh Lakes like uh Lakes they took a group of winter swimmers they took a group of winter swimmers they took a group of winter swimmers compared to non-wimmer swimmers they had compared to non-wimmer swimmers they had compared to non-wimmer swimmers they had us spending about 11 minutes a week in us spending about 11 minutes a week in us spending about 11 minutes a week in it was about it was about it was about 55 and lower so it's like a good 55 and lower so it's like a good 55 and lower so it's like a good starting spot for a lot of people I starting spot for a lot of people I starting spot for a lot of people I think that was right where the water think that was right where the water think that was right where the water temp was temp was temp was and they demonstrated just about 11 and they demonstrated just about 11 and they demonstrated just about 11 minutes a week compared same type of uh minutes a week compared same type of uh minutes a week compared same type of uh people with the same metrics on a you people with the same metrics on a you people with the same metrics on a you know their hormone levels and and body know their hormone levels and and body know their hormone levels and and body types and everything all right types and everything all right types and everything all right the winter swimmers the winter swimmers the winter swimmers um were able to demonstrate a increase
30:00um were able to demonstrate a increase um were able to demonstrate a increase in metabolism and how they demonstrated in metabolism and how they demonstrated in metabolism and how they demonstrated that was that was that was basically we have two types of fat in basically we have two types of fat in basically we have two types of fat in our body kind of mind blown to me I've our body kind of mind blown to me I've our body kind of mind blown to me I've learned this over the last few months learned this over the last few months learned this over the last few months there's a white fat and a brown fat there's a white fat and a brown fat there's a white fat and a brown fat white fat white fat is white fat is what white fat white fat is white fat is what white fat white fat is white fat is what is uh you know the notorious fat that we is uh you know the notorious fat that we is uh you know the notorious fat that we can we talk about it's energy storage can we talk about it's energy storage can we talk about it's energy storage it's it's the it's the you know it's the it's it's the it's the you know it's the it's it's the it's the you know it's the fat that shows up on our body the stuff fat that shows up on our body the stuff fat that shows up on our body the stuff in my dad Bailey yeah it's the it's the in my dad Bailey yeah it's the it's the in my dad Bailey yeah it's the it's the fat when we think of that and then fat when we think of that and then fat when we think of that and then there's this brown fat which is energy there's this brown fat which is energy there's this brown fat which is energy production it's where mitochondria is on production it's where mitochondria is on production it's where mitochondria is on fire and it's actually the type that fire and it's actually the type that fire and it's actually the type that gets rid of the white fat well they were gets rid of the white fat well they were gets rid of the white fat well they were babies have a lot of brown fat we babies have a lot of brown fat we babies have a lot of brown fat we usually carry it in the back of our usually carry it in the back of our usually carry it in the back of our necks right up in like upper chest area necks right up in like upper chest area necks right up in like upper chest area so that again that's why you want to pen so that again that's why you want to pen so that again that's why you want to pen it like when you're getting cold because it like when you're getting cold because it like when you're getting cold because you want to get too much because those you want to get too much because those you want to get too much because those regions cold so it's a cold shower or regions cold so it's a cold shower or regions cold so it's a cold shower or full body submersion try and get into full body submersion try and get into full body submersion try and get into your upper neck there your upper neck there your upper neck there well anyways they showed that that group well anyways they showed that that group well anyways they showed that that group was generating the brown fat was was generating the brown fat was was generating the brown fat was um it was an increase in brown fat in
31:00um it was an increase in brown fat in um it was an increase in brown fat in lowering the white fat so in turn it was lowering the white fat so in turn it was lowering the white fat so in turn it was it was you know lower lowering the fat it was you know lower lowering the fat it was you know lower lowering the fat on bodies so that's a big one that's on bodies so that's a big one that's on bodies so that's a big one that's like you know gets a lot and that's like you know gets a lot and that's like you know gets a lot and that's again there's no workout to it it's just again there's no workout to it it's just again there's no workout to it it's just getting cold and ideally if you're getting cold and ideally if you're getting cold and ideally if you're focused on that if you are looking for focused on that if you are looking for focused on that if you are looking for like a weight loss or a metabolism like a weight loss or a metabolism like a weight loss or a metabolism increase increase increase let your body warm up naturally after let your body warm up naturally after let your body warm up naturally after the cold the cold the cold um so you know that could be you know um so you know that could be you know um so you know that could be you know doing some push-ups or doing jumping doing some push-ups or doing jumping doing some push-ups or doing jumping jacks or something you want to get your jacks or something you want to get your jacks or something you want to get your body moving but as opposed to jumping in body moving but as opposed to jumping in body moving but as opposed to jumping in the hot tub or the hot tub or the hot tub or um running straight to the hot shower um running straight to the hot shower um running straight to the hot shower give yourself 15 to 30 minutes to let give yourself 15 to 30 minutes to let give yourself 15 to 30 minutes to let your body and that that to start to warm your body and that that to start to warm your body and that that to start to warm up up up um so the metabolism is a very unique um so the metabolism is a very unique um so the metabolism is a very unique one that's just uh one that's just uh one that's just uh um yeah super cool new study that was um yeah super cool new study that was um yeah super cool new study that was out of Denmark there yeah so interesting out of Denmark there yeah so interesting out of Denmark there yeah so interesting um the the mental health advantages of um the the mental health advantages of um the the mental health advantages of this too because as I've now bruised this too because as I've now bruised this too because as I've now bruised around social media I I've more than around social media I I've more than around social media I I've more than more often than not seen individuals say
32:00more often than not seen individuals say more often than not seen individuals say I've battled depression and I've taken I've battled depression and I've taken I've battled depression and I've taken to cold plunging and you see them that to cold plunging and you see them that to cold plunging and you see them that they're in the middle of the winter they're in the middle of the winter they're in the middle of the winter somewhere and they're chopping at their somewhere and they're chopping at their somewhere and they're chopping at their tub to get the water which is something tub to get the water which is something tub to get the water which is something we don't have to do with yours but they we don't have to do with yours but they we don't have to do with yours but they got an outside tub there and they got an outside tub there and they got an outside tub there and they chopped to us they get in there and you chopped to us they get in there and you chopped to us they get in there and you can see them breathing and stuff then can see them breathing and stuff then can see them breathing and stuff then they say look I've been doing this for a they say look I've been doing this for a they say look I've been doing this for a number of months and my anxiety my number of months and my anxiety my number of months and my anxiety my depression all these things because look depression all these things because look depression all these things because look anxiety is real with most golfers anxiety is real with most golfers anxiety is real with most golfers watching this because of results-based watching this because of results-based watching this because of results-based stuff and all that sort of deal they stuff and all that sort of deal they stuff and all that sort of deal they find there's an increase on Improvement find there's an increase on Improvement find there's an increase on Improvement in those areas as well in those areas as well in those areas as well yeah it's you know depression is a real yeah it's you know depression is a real yeah it's you know depression is a real tricky one I'm tricky one I'm tricky one I'm had very slight bouts of it throughout had very slight bouts of it throughout had very slight bouts of it throughout my life but like you know it's one it's my life but like you know it's one it's my life but like you know it's one it's not something I really suffer from but not something I really suffer from but not something I really suffer from but it's one that's you know looking at it and talking to you know looking at it and talking to another it's just one that's like it another it's just one that's like it another it's just one that's like it it's obvious maybe what needs to get it's obvious maybe what needs to get it's obvious maybe what needs to get done but it's just you can't move that done but it's just you can't move that done but it's just you can't move that Boulder it's like it's so Boulder it's like it's so Boulder it's like it's so momentum is it's it's damn near
33:00momentum is it's it's damn near momentum is it's it's damn near impossible to gain it's just it's impossible to gain it's just it's impossible to gain it's just it's might be obvious to the outside world might be obvious to the outside world might be obvious to the outside world but to the individual it's it's but to the individual it's it's but to the individual it's it's devastating uh you know cold is is the devastating uh you know cold is is the devastating uh you know cold is is the unique unique unique where it has the opportunity is it's where it has the opportunity is it's where it has the opportunity is it's such a quick shift such a quick shift such a quick shift so as opposed to like taking so as opposed to like taking so as opposed to like taking a pill and you shift a pill and you shift a pill and you shift you could get into cold water for two to you could get into cold water for two to you could get into cold water for two to three minutes and you have that three minutes and you have that three minutes and you have that opportunity where it's not just gonna opportunity where it's not just gonna opportunity where it's not just gonna cure the depression but there could be a cure the depression but there could be a cure the depression but there could be a moment that you have moment that you have moment that you have enough shift in the body to maybe take enough shift in the body to maybe take enough shift in the body to maybe take some steps that can move out of the out some steps that can move out of the out some steps that can move out of the out of depression so it's not you know we of depression so it's not you know we of depression so it's not you know we did a feature with a woman recently and did a feature with a woman recently and did a feature with a woman recently and she was one I forget what two different she was one I forget what two different she was one I forget what two different medications she was on medications she was on medications she was on um she was a mom of two um she was a mom of two um she was a mom of two you know and just you know and just you know and just started coal plunging and it became started coal plunging and it became started coal plunging and it became eradication and days that anxiety and eradication and days that anxiety and eradication and days that anxiety and depression were high she would do two
34:00depression were high she would do two depression were high she would do two she does two cold plunges but she's now she does two cold plunges but she's now she does two cold plunges but she's now shifted off her medication shifted off her medication shifted off her medication um that's for her you know it's everyone um that's for her you know it's everyone um that's for her you know it's everyone has their own process of what what's has their own process of what what's has their own process of what what's going to work but it's one that going to work but it's one that going to work but it's one that has been really incredible to witness has been really incredible to witness has been really incredible to witness the impact on the mental health side I the impact on the mental health side I the impact on the mental health side I mean the New York Times recently an mean the New York Times recently an mean the New York Times recently an article that they highlighted Us in and article that they highlighted Us in and article that they highlighted Us in and it is it's being discussed as a as a it is it's being discussed as a as a it is it's being discussed as a as a unique form of treatment to people to unique form of treatment to people to unique form of treatment to people to you know it because what it is it's just you know it because what it is it's just you know it because what it is it's just an automatic lever into those like great an automatic lever into those like great an automatic lever into those like great feel-good neurotransmitters that's going feel-good neurotransmitters that's going feel-good neurotransmitters that's going on like it's it's very simple process on like it's it's very simple process on like it's it's very simple process you get called you get in it stay with you get called you get in it stay with you get called you get in it stay with there enough there will be a shift in there enough there will be a shift in there enough there will be a shift in your mind and you know in some it's your mind and you know in some it's your mind and you know in some it's enough to create some momentum to get enough to create some momentum to get enough to create some momentum to get going in another Direction and kind of going in another Direction and kind of going in another Direction and kind of step outside of that step outside of that step outside of that um um so yeah it's one that I think you you so yeah it's one that I think you you so yeah it's one that I think you you talked on it earlier it's one of the talked on it earlier it's one of the talked on it earlier it's one of the ones I'm most excited on yeah well look ones I'm most excited on yeah well look ones I'm most excited on yeah well look at the risk of sending Uber spiritual at the risk of sending Uber spiritual at the risk of sending Uber spiritual here um you know us as human beings we
35:00here um you know us as human beings we here um you know us as human beings we have the power to choose and you know I have the power to choose and you know I have the power to choose and you know I I've spoken with people that have I've spoken with people that have I've spoken with people that have battled with anxiety and often with the battled with anxiety and often with the battled with anxiety and often with the anxiety the thing builds up in your mind anxiety the thing builds up in your mind anxiety the thing builds up in your mind whatever the issue might be and then you whatever the issue might be and then you whatever the issue might be and then you just don't want to go there just don't want to go there just don't want to go there where when you're looking at your where when you're looking at your where when you're looking at your plunger your cold plunge turbo when plunger your cold plunge turbo when plunger your cold plunge turbo when you're looking at the pull you've got to you're looking at the pull you've got to you're looking at the pull you've got to break through there mentally and like break through there mentally and like break through there mentally and like you said like you said there are these you said like you said there are these you said like you said there are these barriers that you take steps through and barriers that you take steps through and barriers that you take steps through and and it's almost like you're training in and it's almost like you're training in and it's almost like you're training in a way for the golfers listening to this a way for the golfers listening to this a way for the golfers listening to this instead of being on the Range working on instead of being on the Range working on instead of being on the Range working on your game you're training in a way each your game you're training in a way each your game you're training in a way each step you take each barrier you break you step you take each barrier you break you step you take each barrier you break you know going from 30 seconds to a minute know going from 30 seconds to a minute know going from 30 seconds to a minute to whatever it's like you're winning in to whatever it's like you're winning in to whatever it's like you're winning in your mind and and I'm no neuroscientist your mind and and I'm no neuroscientist your mind and and I'm no neuroscientist and you've admitted that you aren't and you've admitted that you aren't and you've admitted that you aren't either we're just human beings athletes either we're just human beings athletes either we're just human beings athletes but I feel like that also helps people but I feel like that also helps people but I feel like that also helps people to sort of you know also go I'm gonna to sort of you know also go I'm gonna to sort of you know also go I'm gonna beat this because my body is designed to beat this because my body is designed to beat this because my body is designed to fix itself as opposed to just taking fix itself as opposed to just taking fix itself as opposed to just taking some sort of a pillow do I sound crazy some sort of a pillow do I sound crazy some sort of a pillow do I sound crazy though no you're I think I think what's
36:00though no you're I think I think what's though no you're I think I think what's that the beautiful part is the mind that the beautiful part is the mind that the beautiful part is the mind never changes with the experience so the never changes with the experience so the never changes with the experience so the mind every single day is like I don't mind every single day is like I don't mind every single day is like I don't want to do this but you get want to do this but you get want to do this but you get what does happen is the body starts to what does happen is the body starts to what does happen is the body starts to say the body starts to have a voice and say the body starts to have a voice and say the body starts to have a voice and it starts saying but we know what's on it starts saying but we know what's on it starts saying but we know what's on the other side of this like I know by the other side of this like I know by the other side of this like I know by doing this hard thing there is a good doing this hard thing there is a good doing this hard thing there is a good reward so in turn you there's a reward so in turn you there's a reward so in turn you there's a there's a shift into you know and I I there's a shift into you know and I I there's a shift into you know and I I don't know what exactly that mechanism don't know what exactly that mechanism don't know what exactly that mechanism is in the body but it works and it is in the body but it works and it is in the body but it works and it happens into you know the mind's always happens into you know the mind's always happens into you know the mind's always going to tell us kind of limit us going to tell us kind of limit us going to tell us kind of limit us um and they're you know the mind just um and they're you know the mind just um and they're you know the mind just has a certain piece of information where has a certain piece of information where has a certain piece of information where the body starts to say the body starts to say the body starts to say you know that discomfort that's okay you know that discomfort that's okay you know that discomfort that's okay like you it you know as opposed to the like you it you know as opposed to the like you it you know as opposed to the Mind always kind of shutting us down and Mind always kind of shutting us down and Mind always kind of shutting us down and limiting what we're capable of and you limiting what we're capable of and you limiting what we're capable of and you know that that's where the magic happens know that that's where the magic happens know that that's where the magic happens and it starts to and it starts to and it starts to again you do
37:00again you do again you do go 60 days of you know cold plunging go 60 days of you know cold plunging go 60 days of you know cold plunging consistently there will be new momentum consistently there will be new momentum consistently there will be new momentum in life that starts to pop up into in life that starts to pop up into in life that starts to pop up into things you might things the Mind might things you might things the Mind might things you might things the Mind might have shut down of what you're capable of have shut down of what you're capable of have shut down of what you're capable of or or a conversation you want to have or or or a conversation you want to have or or or a conversation you want to have or or something you want to train for it's or something you want to train for it's or something you want to train for it's like that's going to start to shift and like that's going to start to shift and like that's going to start to shift and it's going to open up new little doors it's going to open up new little doors it's going to open up new little doors some might become big doors but momentum some might become big doors but momentum some might become big doors but momentum is is is is is is is the peace that comes from this and is the peace that comes from this and is the peace that comes from this and it's the ROI you know two to three it's the ROI you know two to three it's the ROI you know two to three minutes a day like that's really what minutes a day like that's really what minutes a day like that's really what it's asking you to do you remind me as a it's asking you to do you remind me as a it's asking you to do you remind me as a golf you know I also teach golf as a golf you know I also teach golf as a golf you know I also teach golf as a golf instructor of because my mom when I golf instructor of because my mom when I golf instructor of because my mom when I was a kid I'll never forget she said to was a kid I'll never forget she said to was a kid I'll never forget she said to me she goes new level new Devil you know me she goes new level new Devil you know me she goes new level new Devil you know because we all want to improve but you because we all want to improve but you because we all want to improve but you know there's there's Devils on the other know there's there's Devils on the other know there's there's Devils on the other side of the the the bridge you Crossing side of the the the bridge you Crossing side of the the the bridge you Crossing so part of the improvements in golf for so part of the improvements in golf for so part of the improvements in golf for well-being or whatever you've got to be well-being or whatever you've got to be well-being or whatever you've got to be almost almost almost in the mindset of being comfortable
38:00in the mindset of being comfortable in the mindset of being comfortable being uncomfortable or stepping outside being uncomfortable or stepping outside being uncomfortable or stepping outside the comfort zone and if there's one the comfort zone and if there's one the comfort zone and if there's one thing this does the plunging you learn thing this does the plunging you learn thing this does the plunging you learn to step outside your comfort zone pretty to step outside your comfort zone pretty to step outside your comfort zone pretty fast I mean it's so easy to bail like fast I mean it's so easy to bail like fast I mean it's so easy to bail like you say daily you have to do your little you say daily you have to do your little you say daily you have to do your little dance before you get into the cold water dance before you get into the cold water dance before you get into the cold water yeah in golfs I'm not I'm not a I'm not yeah in golfs I'm not I'm not a I'm not yeah in golfs I'm not I'm not a I'm not a golfer but you know don't worry I'll a golfer but you know don't worry I'll a golfer but you know don't worry I'll change you change you change you 've got friends that are golfers and you 've got friends that are golfers and you 've got friends that are golfers and you know the thing I've always watched is know the thing I've always watched is know the thing I've always watched is like it's so like it's so like it's so it's just it is a hyper individual sport it's just it is a hyper individual sport it's just it is a hyper individual sport it's a you know it it almost feels looks it's a you know it it almost feels looks it's a you know it it almost feels looks isolating to me from the outside isolating to me from the outside isolating to me from the outside um and that translates to the cold it's um and that translates to the cold it's um and that translates to the cold it's like like like there's nowhere to turn there's nowhere there's nowhere to turn there's nowhere there's nowhere to turn there's nowhere to go it's just you you know and you to go it's just you you know and you to go it's just you you know and you have have have the stress that's kind of closing in the stress that's kind of closing in the stress that's kind of closing in around you when you get in the cold it around you when you get in the cold it around you when you get in the cold it it's a very it's a very it's a very the the super individual sports I think the the super individual sports I think the the super individual sports I think Tran there's a piece to that with the Tran there's a piece to that with the Tran there's a piece to that with the cold that's there cold that's there cold that's there um we find it very similar like with Jiu
39:00um we find it very similar like with Jiu um we find it very similar like with Jiu Jitsu uh okay guys you guys and gals Jitsu uh okay guys you guys and gals Jitsu uh okay guys you guys and gals that do Jiu Jitsu that do Jiu Jitsu that do Jiu Jitsu um you know they're very comfortable um you know they're very comfortable um you know they're very comfortable with discomfort training they are put with discomfort training they are put with discomfort training they are put into true positions that would they can into true positions that would they can into true positions that would they can die in and you know and they learn how die in and you know and they learn how die in and you know and they learn how to breathe and that's a group that to breathe and that's a group that to breathe and that's a group that adjusts very quickly to the plunge and adjusts very quickly to the plunge and adjusts very quickly to the plunge and it translates because they're used they it translates because they're used they it translates because they're used they they they they they lean into that discomfort and learn they lean into that discomfort and learn they lean into that discomfort and learn how to breathe through it how to breathe through it how to breathe through it so for golf obviously you're not in a so for golf obviously you're not in a so for golf obviously you're not in a life or death situation but from a life or death situation but from a life or death situation but from a stress mechanism and kind of a solo stress mechanism and kind of a solo stress mechanism and kind of a solo Journey that's very much like a cold Journey that's very much like a cold Journey that's very much like a cold experience yeah sometimes cough can make experience yeah sometimes cough can make experience yeah sometimes cough can make you feel like it's life or death you're you feel like it's life or death you're you feel like it's life or death you're preaching Reverend Dewey I appreciate preaching Reverend Dewey I appreciate preaching Reverend Dewey I appreciate you okay um so so you said you know you okay um so so you said you know you okay um so so you said you know three minutes as much as three minutes three minutes as much as three minutes three minutes as much as three minutes to be honest with you I I was Flying to be honest with you I I was Flying to be honest with you I I was Flying Blind I didn't research this when I went Blind I didn't research this when I went Blind I didn't research this when I went in there and I got in and once I got in there and I got in and once I got in there and I got in and once I got over it I just tried to breathe and so over it I just tried to breathe and so over it I just tried to breathe and so I've set myself Cycles where I I've set myself Cycles where I I've set myself Cycles where I essentially bucks breathe for about five essentially bucks breathe for about five essentially bucks breathe for about five minutes and then I take a few deep minutes and then I take a few deep minutes and then I take a few deep breaths then I try and hold my breath
40:00breaths then I try and hold my breath breaths then I try and hold my breath for as long as I can they're not for as long as I can they're not for as long as I can they're not completely dunk myself I sort of completely dunk myself I sort of completely dunk myself I sort of baptized myself and then I get out baptized myself and then I get out baptized myself and then I get out um can one overdo cold water I guess is um can one overdo cold water I guess is um can one overdo cold water I guess is the question that comes on the end of my the question that comes on the end of my the question that comes on the end of my observation observation observation foreign foreign foreign it would take a lot to really overdo it it would take a lot to really overdo it it would take a lot to really overdo it I mean if you're in a Rushing River at I mean if you're in a Rushing River at I mean if you're in a Rushing River at 35 degrees you know your body is going to tell you you know your body is going to tell you when it needs to get out when it needs to get out when it needs to get out um so I would say anyone that's doing um so I would say anyone that's doing um so I would say anyone that's doing this as like a as a practice this as like a as a practice this as like a as a practice um It's Gonna Take it and everyone's different it's going it and everyone's different it's going to take a while so what I mean by that to take a while so what I mean by that to take a while so what I mean by that is everybody types very different what I is everybody types very different what I is everybody types very different what I recommend from a general rule of thumb recommend from a general rule of thumb recommend from a general rule of thumb start it if you can get somewhere around start it if you can get somewhere around start it if you can get somewhere around 55 degrees 55 degrees 55 degrees and generally around two minutes that's and generally around two minutes that's and generally around two minutes that's going to push you past that original going to push you past that original going to push you past that original discomfort discomfort discomfort and what we're what I'm really big on is and what we're what I'm really big on is and what we're what I'm really big on is finding a time and temp that you're finding a time and temp that you're finding a time and temp that you're going to show back up and do so okay
41:00going to show back up and do so okay going to show back up and do so okay again I relate it to the gym again I relate it to the gym again I relate it to the gym someone's that's getting into working someone's that's getting into working someone's that's getting into working out out out I wouldn't tell them to go do their I wouldn't tell them to go do their I wouldn't tell them to go do their hardest workout the very first day yeah hardest workout the very first day yeah hardest workout the very first day yeah like let's move your body let's just get like let's move your body let's just get like let's move your body let's just get some weights moving let's get let's get some weights moving let's get let's get some weights moving let's get let's get we're playing the long game here this is we're playing the long game here this is we're playing the long game here this is we want to play that this is never we want to play that this is never we want to play that this is never ending this is a something that becomes ending this is a something that becomes ending this is a something that becomes a part of our lifestyle a part of our lifestyle a part of our lifestyle it's over coal plunging you know our it's over coal plunging you know our it's over coal plunging you know our recommendation in rule of thumb every recommendation in rule of thumb every recommendation in rule of thumb every body type is a little different men and body type is a little different men and body type is a little different men and women can be a little different all of women can be a little different all of women can be a little different all of it it it is 55 degrees two minutes and find is 55 degrees two minutes and find is 55 degrees two minutes and find and if that needs to adjust into what's and if that needs to adjust into what's and if that needs to adjust into what's going to be the time and temp that you going to be the time and temp that you going to be the time and temp that you show up again tomorrow and do that find show up again tomorrow and do that find show up again tomorrow and do that find that because you will naturally change that because you will naturally change that because you will naturally change your time and you will naturally change your time and you will naturally change your time and you will naturally change the temperature if you just keep going the temperature if you just keep going the temperature if you just keep going with it you will naturally put more with it you will naturally put more with it you will naturally put more weights on the bar when you're working weights on the bar when you're working weights on the bar when you're working out as you get stronger so don't be out as you get stronger so don't be out as you get stronger so don't be overly concerned on overly concerned on overly concerned on am I doing this right am I going long
42:00am I doing this right am I going long am I doing this right am I going long enough am I short enough I would say enough am I short enough I would say enough am I short enough I would say lean towards a little shorter work lean towards a little shorter work lean towards a little shorter work through the discomfort that's key enough through the discomfort that's key enough through the discomfort that's key enough to I want to get out of here that's a to I want to get out of here that's a to I want to get out of here that's a great barometer it's like my body great barometer it's like my body great barometer it's like my body doesn't like this just be in there don't doesn't like this just be in there don't doesn't like this just be in there don't overthink it I always say inhale half as overthink it I always say inhale half as overthink it I always say inhale half as long as your exhale or just maybe long as your exhale or just maybe long as your exhale or just maybe basically making your exhale twice as basically making your exhale twice as basically making your exhale twice as long as your inhale and just go through long as your inhale and just go through long as your inhale and just go through that process that process that process and just go through that process and and just go through that process and and just go through that process and you'll learn more Nuance to it you'll you'll learn more Nuance to it you'll you'll learn more Nuance to it you'll pick up other tricks along the way and pick up other tricks along the way and pick up other tricks along the way and how to relax and where you're holding how to relax and where you're holding how to relax and where you're holding tension and that just comes though don't tension and that just comes though don't tension and that just comes though don't overthink it and find just attempt that overthink it and find just attempt that overthink it and find just attempt that in time that you in time that you in time that you you'll show back up again tomorrow and you'll show back up again tomorrow and you'll show back up again tomorrow and do okay do okay do okay um well for all the folks who haven't um well for all the folks who haven't um well for all the folks who haven't tried it yet I would highly Advocate it tried it yet I would highly Advocate it tried it yet I would highly Advocate it um that's I guess why I got Ryan on the um that's I guess why I got Ryan on the um that's I guess why I got Ryan on the show um for the folks who do this often show um for the folks who do this often show um for the folks who do this often and are interested in your tub I'm the and are interested in your tub I'm the and are interested in your tub I'm the cold plunge plunge tub cold plunge plunge tub cold plunge plunge tub um I'm assuming forgive me uh that you um I'm assuming forgive me uh that you um I'm assuming forgive me uh that you can vary the temperatures on there right can vary the temperatures on there right can vary the temperatures on there right you can set it at whatever temperature
43:00you can set it at whatever temperature you can set it at whatever temperature you want yep so we have a couple you want yep so we have a couple you want yep so we have a couple different models and different models and different models and we have yep so our standard cold models we have yep so our standard cold models we have yep so our standard cold models you can take it down to 39 degrees you can take it down to 39 degrees you can take it down to 39 degrees um it's got Jets on the inside so it's um it's got Jets on the inside so it's um it's got Jets on the inside so it's filtering around so it almost feels like filtering around so it almost feels like filtering around so it almost feels like you're in like a stream or river so it you're in like a stream or river so it you're in like a stream or river so it feels even colder than just a stagnant feels even colder than just a stagnant feels even colder than just a stagnant you know 39 degrees you can pick you know 39 degrees you can pick you know 39 degrees you can pick um you can adjust the temp and it um you can adjust the temp and it um you can adjust the temp and it adjusts from there we have a hot and adjusts from there we have a hot and adjusts from there we have a hot and cold model too that can actually take it cold model too that can actually take it cold model too that can actually take it up into like a hot tub range up into like a hot tub range up into like a hot tub range um um so yeah you get to pick what what you so yeah you get to pick what what you so yeah you get to pick what what you start with and you know we always start with and you know we always start with and you know we always recommend that 55 kind of starter range recommend that 55 kind of starter range recommend that 55 kind of starter range and and taking yourself down from there and and taking yourself down from there and and taking yourself down from there folks check it out all right for the folks check it out all right for the folks check it out all right for the folks who are interested in what you are folks who are interested in what you are folks who are interested in what you are doing and they want to follow you or doing and they want to follow you or doing and they want to follow you or find out more from you or find more from find out more from you or find more from find out more from you or find more from cold plunge please share the website and cold plunge please share the website and cold plunge please share the website and the social media handles and all that the social media handles and all that the social media handles and all that sort of stuff yeah so just we're the sort of stuff yeah so just we're the sort of stuff yeah so just we're the coldplunge.com for the website uh if you
