um so so talk about uh you know I'm I um so so talk about uh you know I'm I never understood I didn't even know you never understood I didn't even know you never understood I didn't even know you were so passionate into cold therapy and were so passionate into cold therapy and were so passionate into cold therapy and it's all the rage but I think you're it's all the rage but I think you're it's all the rage but I think you're doing something different and unique but doing something different and unique but doing something different and unique but so first of all just talk to me about so first of all just talk to me about so first of all just talk to me about why you're so passionate about cold why you're so passionate about cold why you're so passionate about cold therapy and how you got into it it's a therapy and how you got into it it's a therapy and how you got into it it's a great question it's kind of funny great question it's kind of funny great question it's kind of funny because I'm from I'm a kid from San because I'm from I'm a kid from San because I'm from I'm a kid from San Diego California like I hated the cold
what I mean by that is I had some what I mean by that is I had some injuries when I was younger I mean I've injuries when I was younger I mean I've injuries when I was younger I mean I've been physical injuries have been part of been physical injuries have been part of been physical injuries have been part of my path of overcoming since I was born I my path of overcoming since I was born I my path of overcoming since I was born I was born my lung collapsed minutes after was born my lung collapsed minutes after was born my lung collapsed minutes after I was born the doctors didn't know how I was born the doctors didn't know how I was born the doctors didn't know how long I went without oxygen to my brain long I went without oxygen to my brain long I went without oxygen to my brain so they didn't know if I was gonna be so they didn't know if I was gonna be so they didn't know if I was gonna be brain dead until they were doing tests brain dead until they were doing tests brain dead until they were doing tests wow so I it was interesting because now wow so I it was interesting because now wow so I it was interesting because now I'm a breath work instructor as well so
surgery now and so did surgery surgery now and so did surgery thankfully it resolved a full function thankfully it resolved a full function thankfully it resolved a full function of my leg and I got this gnarly 12 inch of my leg and I got this gnarly 12 inch of my leg and I got this gnarly 12 inch scar on my on my quad from them doing a scar on my on my quad from them doing a scar on my on my quad from them doing a fasciotomy but recovering from that was fasciotomy but recovering from that was fasciotomy but recovering from that was something that was unexpected but and it something that was unexpected but and it something that was unexpected but and it left me just really with this distrust left me just really with this distrust left me just really with this distrust of my body when I got to college I had of my body when I got to college I had of my body when I got to college I had this appendicitis a typical surgery the this appendicitis a typical surgery the this appendicitis a typical surgery the doctor messed it up nicked an artery I doctor messed it up nicked an artery I doctor messed it up nicked an artery I was bleeding internally had to get blood
but I took that step and I went out to but I took that step and I went out to Iceland and I get there and I'm doing Iceland and I get there and I'm doing Iceland and I get there and I'm doing breath work for the first time this deep breath work for the first time this deep breath work for the first time this deep breathing and I start feeling this breathing and I start feeling this breathing and I start feeling this tingle that's in my scar from my scar tingle that's in my scar from my scar tingle that's in my scar from my scar sight from my appendectomy and it like sight from my appendectomy and it like sight from my appendectomy and it like slowly starts vibrating on it slowly slowly starts vibrating on it slowly slowly starts vibrating on it slowly trickles Works its way up up up up up up trickles Works its way up up up up up up trickles Works its way up up up up up up up to my throat and then just start up to my throat and then just start up to my throat and then just start crying I just release the biggest crying I just release the biggest crying I just release the biggest emotional release I just started
out to Iceland with Wim Hof you have to go in like a 10 minute submersion to get go in like a 10 minute submersion to get go in like a 10 minute submersion to get like certified or something there's some like certified or something there's some like certified or something there's some there's some there's some it's a that's there's some there's some it's a that's there's some there's some it's a that's a tougher certification than I thought a tougher certification than I thought a tougher certification than I thought yeah so I just went back I just I was in yeah so I just went back I just I was in yeah so I just went back I just I was in Spain earlier the spring doing um or Spain earlier the spring doing um or Spain earlier the spring doing um or this winter doing a my Wim Hof this winter doing a my Wim Hof this winter doing a my Wim Hof certification so I'm a certified level certification so I'm a certified level certification so I'm a certified level one Wim Hof method instructor and one Wim Hof method instructor and one Wim Hof method instructor and there's some things you get you do in there's some things you get you do in
look at I'm someone who's going to look at I'm someone who's going to invest in my health and my well-being so invest in my health and my well-being so invest in my health and my well-being so I went to go look and all I'm seeing are I went to go look and all I'm seeing are I went to go look and all I'm seeing are these companies like morozco or blue these companies like morozco or blue these companies like morozco or blue cube or these big or new therapy these cube or these big or new therapy these cube or these big or new therapy these big fixed wall tubs that are 10 15 20 big fixed wall tubs that are 10 15 20 big fixed wall tubs that are 10 15 20 000 and I'm like that's that's out of my 000 and I'm like that's that's out of my 000 and I'm like that's that's out of my range and even if I wanted to I live in range and even if I wanted to I live in range and even if I wanted to I live in an apartment with a balcony so I can't an apartment with a balcony so I can't an apartment with a balcony so I can't even even if I wanted to purchase this I even even if I wanted to purchase this I even even if I wanted to purchase this I can't even purchase this but I'm gonna
help me get hack a chest freezer and help me get hack a chest freezer and he's like heck of Chess freezer like he's like heck of Chess freezer like he's like heck of Chess freezer like what are you what are you talking about what are you what are you talking about what are you what are you talking about and I said yeah so I can do my ice pass and I said yeah so I can do my ice pass and I said yeah so I can do my ice pass but then he's like that's silly but then he's like that's silly but then he's like that's silly if you want cold water let's find a way if you want cold water let's find a way if you want cold water let's find a way to build cold water and so we did a to build cold water and so we did a to build cold water and so we did a little cousin garage project together to little cousin garage project together to little cousin garage project together to find a way to to build cold water we find a way to to build cold water we find a way to to build cold water we were just starting to train for our were just starting to train for our were just starting to train for our first Ironman Triathlon together
dollar chest freezer and a 10 to 15 000 dollar chest freezer and a 10 to 15 000 fixed wall tub and they're doing it 5K fixed wall tub and they're doing it 5K fixed wall tub and they're doing it 5K so I'm like okay there's proof of so I'm like okay there's proof of so I'm like okay there's proof of concept there and I'd watch that group concept there and I'd watch that group concept there and I'd watch that group of DIY chest freezers grow from 1500 to of DIY chest freezers grow from 1500 to of DIY chest freezers grow from 1500 to 2000 to 5 000 to 10 000 and seeing 2000 to 5 000 to 10 000 and seeing 2000 to 5 000 to 10 000 and seeing there's a momentum around this I believe there's a momentum around this I believe there's a momentum around this I believe in this so strongly from the benefits in this so strongly from the benefits in this so strongly from the benefits I've seen and I feel like there's this I've seen and I feel like there's this I've seen and I feel like there's this push that's gonna bring this mainstream push that's gonna bring this mainstream push that's gonna bring this mainstream so we launched just a year ago we
you create this and you're like I guess you create this and you're like I guess this is an idea let me try and you did this is an idea let me try and you did this is an idea let me try and you did it and so I love just hearing the the it and so I love just hearing the the it and so I love just hearing the the story behind it and then also I hate to story behind it and then also I hate to story behind it and then also I hate to say this but and this again I'm not here say this but and this again I'm not here say this but and this again I'm not here to throw shade on anybody I think to throw shade on anybody I think to throw shade on anybody I think marasco's product is beautiful and marasco's product is beautiful and marasco's product is beautiful and wonderful but I do think they're just wonderful but I do think they're just wonderful but I do think they're just missing the mark but it's such a high missing the mark but it's such a high missing the mark but it's such a high price point I'm like guys it's just it's price point I'm like guys it's just it's price point I'm like guys it's just it's cold water like I mean I think there's
it'll it'll bring it down from tap down it'll it'll bring it down from tap down to uh cold freezing cold temperatures so to uh cold freezing cold temperatures so to uh cold freezing cold temperatures so that's why we did one horsepower that's why we did one horsepower that's why we did one horsepower compressor and the benefit of that too compressor and the benefit of that too compressor and the benefit of that too was that was that was that it can be used commercially so we didn't it can be used commercially so we didn't it can be used commercially so we didn't really foresee this at the time but gyms really foresee this at the time but gyms really foresee this at the time but gyms Fitness Studios we did a 30-day Fitness Studios we did a 30-day Fitness Studios we did a 30-day activation with Equinox here in Orange activation with Equinox here in Orange activation with Equinox here in Orange County we work with a lot of gyms across County we work with a lot of gyms across County we work with a lot of gyms across the country Fitness Studios holistic
for alertness because you cool your body for alertness because you cool your body down then your body's working really down then your body's working really down then your body's working really hard through a thermogenesis process to hard through a thermogenesis process to hard through a thermogenesis process to create heat so that it can warm yourself create heat so that it can warm yourself create heat so that it can warm yourself up and through that process you're going up and through that process you're going up and through that process you're going to stimulate your metabolism you're to stimulate your metabolism you're to stimulate your metabolism you're going to get everything revved up and going to get everything revved up and going to get everything revved up and moving which is great for wakefulness moving which is great for wakefulness moving which is great for wakefulness and alertness and and and just promotes and alertness and and and just promotes and alertness and and and just promotes General General wakefulness so I do like General General wakefulness so I do like General General wakefulness so I do like hot tub at night
do you need how does it feel when you do do you need how does it feel when you do this how can you be your own coach and this how can you be your own coach and this how can you be your own coach and give yourself what you need because give yourself what you need because give yourself what you need because every day is different everybody's every day is different everybody's every day is different everybody's different so that's a little bit of the different so that's a little bit of the different so that's a little bit of the approach that I like with the cold yeah approach that I like with the cold yeah approach that I like with the cold yeah something too that you mentioned I just something too that you mentioned I just something too that you mentioned I just started doing cold shower I had I I was started doing cold shower I had I I was started doing cold shower I had I I was you know I got into the Rage of cold you know I got into the Rage of cold you know I got into the Rage of cold showers when a couple years ago like you showers when a couple years ago like you showers when a couple years ago like you said when it kind of became the raid
eat the frog or do the one thing the eat the frog or do the one thing the hard thing especially first then we feel hard thing especially first then we feel hard thing especially first then we feel great and so that's that's the that's great and so that's that's the that's great and so that's that's the that's referred to as the dopamine Loop referred to as the dopamine Loop referred to as the dopamine Loop Continuum and we're closing that Loop so Continuum and we're closing that Loop so Continuum and we're closing that Loop so you're doing that and then you're you're doing that and then you're you're doing that and then you're feeling this Rush of you're getting feeling this Rush of you're getting feeling this Rush of you're getting adrenaline it's and it's a really good adrenaline it's and it's a really good adrenaline it's and it's a really good high quality dose of adrenaline and high quality dose of adrenaline and high quality dose of adrenaline and people are worried about adrenaline and people are worried about adrenaline and people are worried about adrenaline and cortisol spiking but because it's it's
they're just they they're just they're they're just they they're just they're on like red red lining and putting them on like red red lining and putting them on like red red lining and putting them into such a high dose of stress could into such a high dose of stress could into such a high dose of stress could have negative effects so but I recommend have negative effects so but I recommend have negative effects so but I recommend everybody starting with cold water everybody starting with cold water everybody starting with cold water immersion so there's cool water immersion so there's cool water immersion so there's cool water immersion and then there's cold water immersion and then there's cold water immersion and then there's cold water immersion cool water immersion is like immersion cool water immersion is like immersion cool water immersion is like 70 degrees you're still getting the 70 degrees you're still getting the 70 degrees you're still getting the effects of cool water immersion which is effects of cool water immersion which is effects of cool water immersion which is that does something yeah it still does
activation which is a whole rabbit hole activation which is a whole rabbit hole that we can get into we don't need to that we can get into we don't need to that we can get into we don't need to get into but incredible things and and get into but incredible things and and get into but incredible things and and the brown fat Brown adipose tissue was the brown fat Brown adipose tissue was the brown fat Brown adipose tissue was just linked to shrinking tumor sizes in just linked to shrinking tumor sizes in just linked to shrinking tumor sizes in in a mice study and also in one human in a mice study and also in one human in a mice study and also in one human study as well so there's incredible study as well so there's incredible study as well so there's incredible stuff that's going around this but to stuff that's going around this but to stuff that's going around this but to back back up to the original question back back up to the original question back back up to the original question and the point of our conversation here and the point of our conversation here and the point of our conversation here is I would introduce the cold water
let's just slowly build up so there's no let's just slowly build up so there's no need to like prove that I'm a man yeah need to like prove that I'm a man yeah need to like prove that I'm a man yeah and so but I love that but and and we and so but I love that but and and we and so but I love that but and and we were just talking before so unless on were just talking before so unless on were just talking before so unless on that note talk a little bit about and that note talk a little bit about and that note talk a little bit about and like you you just highlighted the like you you just highlighted the like you you just highlighted the studies and I was talking to you about a studies and I was talking to you about a studies and I was talking to you about a professional bodybuilder who I just professional bodybuilder who I just professional bodybuilder who I just interviewed and Brad row amazing guy and interviewed and Brad row amazing guy and interviewed and Brad row amazing guy and he's like Joel like I want it to be like he's like Joel like I want it to be like he's like Joel like I want it to be like 32 degrees like on the point and
run hot water and it actually made it run hot water and it actually made it worse oh yeah I was like oh my God it's worse oh yeah I was like oh my God it's worse oh yeah I was like oh my God it's like burning my hand yeah there's a like burning my hand yeah there's a like burning my hand yeah there's a story I'll be able to tell you offline story I'll be able to tell you offline story I'll be able to tell you offline legally I can't say it on this podcast legally I can't say it on this podcast legally I can't say it on this podcast but there's a story but there's a story but there's a story um involving yeah we would take a cold um involving yeah we would take a cold um involving yeah we would take a cold plunge later yeah I'll tell you plunge later yeah I'll tell you plunge later yeah I'll tell you something you'll appreciate remember something you'll appreciate remember something you'll appreciate remember bring me back to this but I've seen bring me back to this but I've seen bring me back to this but I've seen grown men cry and I've experienced it
put warm clothes back on you confuse put warm clothes back on you confuse your body because your body's like your your body because your body's like your your body because your body's like your body's getting receptors from your skin body's getting receptors from your skin body's getting receptors from your skin saying okay my Skin's warm so we're good saying okay my Skin's warm so we're good saying okay my Skin's warm so we're good so I'm going to dilate my my vascular so I'm going to dilate my my vascular so I'm going to dilate my my vascular system and open back up but then all system and open back up but then all system and open back up but then all this cold blood is going to rush to my this cold blood is going to rush to my this cold blood is going to rush to my core and I'm going to get shivery so we core and I'm going to get shivery so we core and I'm going to get shivery so we learn the value in getting out and that learn the value in getting out and that learn the value in getting out and that third chapter if you will and getting third chapter if you will and getting third chapter if you will and getting back to horse stance and getting back to
day so two to three minutes a day at sub day so two to three minutes a day at sub 60 degree is scientifically the minimum 60 degree is scientifically the minimum 60 degree is scientifically the minimum effective dose now what happens is when effective dose now what happens is when effective dose now what happens is when you can start there you start to adapt you can start there you start to adapt you can start there you start to adapt really quickly because our bodies are really quickly because our bodies are really quickly because our bodies are beautiful and they adapt to what we beautiful and they adapt to what we beautiful and they adapt to what we throw throw their way and so you might throw throw their way and so you might throw throw their way and so you might notice that after a week of doing 55 notice that after a week of doing 55 notice that after a week of doing 55 degrees at two minutes you're like okay degrees at two minutes you're like okay degrees at two minutes you're like okay I can handle this I want to go a little I can handle this I want to go a little I can handle this I want to go a little bit colder and that's when you start to
getting more of your mass into the water getting more of your mass into the water it helps it brings your body's core Body it helps it brings your body's core Body it helps it brings your body's core Body temp down much quicker so if you feel temp down much quicker so if you feel temp down much quicker so if you feel really confident like sitting on the really confident like sitting on the really confident like sitting on the edge of the tub like this and bring your edge of the tub like this and bring your edge of the tub like this and bring your arms in and then that next level is full arms in and then that next level is full arms in and then that next level is full body merge which is the goal to get body merge which is the goal to get body merge which is the goal to get everybody to which is scooting down everybody to which is scooting down everybody to which is scooting down getting your hands in your shoulders in getting your hands in your shoulders in getting your hands in your shoulders in so you're up to your neck or your chin so you're up to your neck or your chin so you're up to your neck or your chin ideally in the water and that's you're
difference when I let the cold water hit difference when I let the cold water hit my face versus hitting my chest I'm my face versus hitting my chest I'm my face versus hitting my chest I'm getting my whole body cold with the getting my whole body cold with the getting my whole body cold with the chest but when you hit it with the face chest but when you hit it with the face chest but when you hit it with the face there's something going on different there's something going on different there's something going on different yeah there is a very suit you picked up yeah there is a very suit you picked up yeah there is a very suit you picked up on it it's it's something that's on it it's it's something that's on it it's it's something that's referred to as the mammalian dive reflex referred to as the mammalian dive reflex referred to as the mammalian dive reflex okay I've heard it now this is this is okay I've heard it now this is this is okay I've heard it now this is this is really fascinating I learned this from really fascinating I learned this from really fascinating I learned this from from Sam our director of coaching and
temperature gauge because it feels good temperature gauge because it feels good but in order to get direct access and but in order to get direct access and but in order to get direct access and it's just it's a way of the it's it's it's just it's a way of the it's it's it's just it's a way of the it's it's it's based on how the the arteries and it's based on how the the arteries and it's based on how the the arteries and the the blood vessels line up and the the blood vessels line up and the the blood vessels line up and without getting too much detail around without getting too much detail around without getting too much detail around that just think of the sink of these that just think of the sink of these that just think of the sink of these areas as like portals to your Core Body areas as like portals to your Core Body areas as like portals to your Core Body temp so if you want to cool your Core temp so if you want to cool your Core temp so if you want to cool your Core Body temp down very quickly and there's Body temp down very quickly and there's Body temp down very quickly and there's an amazing study on pull-ups and core
that protocol but yeah do you like it that protocol but yeah do you like it and uh is there do you know if there and uh is there do you know if there and uh is there do you know if there would be any reason why I was I felt would be any reason why I was I felt would be any reason why I was I felt actually more comfortable in the cold actually more comfortable in the cold actually more comfortable in the cold not having gone to the sauna here I am not having gone to the sauna here I am not having gone to the sauna here I am heating my body after I'm doing this heating my body after I'm doing this heating my body after I'm doing this great stuff and yeah it's it's a great great stuff and yeah it's it's a great great stuff and yeah it's it's a great protocol the contrast therapies that's protocol the contrast therapies that's protocol the contrast therapies that's often referred to hot and cold often referred to hot and cold often referred to hot and cold alternating and the reason why it's alternating and the reason why it's alternating and the reason why it's fantastic for our bodies because cold is
five minutes out before going into the five minutes out before going into the cold it makes it a lot harder but it cold it makes it a lot harder but it cold it makes it a lot harder but it makes it more beneficial in my opinion makes it more beneficial in my opinion makes it more beneficial in my opinion okay yeah and so that's I I mean what I okay yeah and so that's I I mean what I okay yeah and so that's I I mean what I do is I do a quick I have a kind of a do is I do a quick I have a kind of a do is I do a quick I have a kind of a gritty ankle so I've been mobilizing gritty ankle so I've been mobilizing gritty ankle so I've been mobilizing that for two minutes then I go I should that for two minutes then I go I should that for two minutes then I go I should do a quasi medium temper shower just to do a quasi medium temper shower just to do a quasi medium temper shower just to like because I don't want to take a cold like because I don't want to take a cold like because I don't want to take a cold shower washing myself yeah yeah I shower washing myself yeah yeah I shower washing myself yeah yeah I actually do want some heat and then I go
beliefs on our fears on the stories that beliefs on our fears on the stories that we're telling ourselves most people the we're telling ourselves most people the we're telling ourselves most people the idea of getting in the cold or they see idea of getting in the cold or they see idea of getting in the cold or they see people getting cold I could never do people getting cold I could never do people getting cold I could never do that I could never do that why why is that I could never do that why why is that I could never do that why why is why why do you think that your body is why why do you think that your body is why why do you think that your body is literally built for this before we literally built for this before we literally built for this before we became the thermostat generation of became the thermostat generation of became the thermostat generation of having everything at 72 degrees you know having everything at 72 degrees you know having everything at 72 degrees you know thermostat controlled car to office thermostat controlled car to office thermostat controlled car to office space to this we we were forced to adapt
life are you are you is that message life are you are you is that message coming through to you I should be here I coming through to you I should be here I coming through to you I should be here I should be there you should be adapted should be there you should be adapted should be there you should be adapted you're doing where are you getting too you're doing where are you getting too you're doing where are you getting too much in your head versus being in the much in your head versus being in the much in your head versus being in the now of like let me be in the sensation now of like let me be in the sensation now of like let me be in the sensation let me let me notice what's coming up let me let me notice what's coming up let me let me notice what's coming up and breathe through it and so if we go and breathe through it and so if we go and breathe through it and so if we go to like Macho like all right let's go to like Macho like all right let's go to like Macho like all right let's go and this is part part of the reason why and this is part part of the reason why and this is part part of the reason why across the board I've taken thousands of
that conscious entrepreneur and I love that conscious entrepreneur and I love those words it's that conscious those words it's that conscious those words it's that conscious entrepreneur it's that Peaceful Warrior entrepreneur it's that Peaceful Warrior entrepreneur it's that Peaceful Warrior it's that combination of the masculine it's that combination of the masculine it's that combination of the masculine and feminine that represents the yin and and feminine that represents the yin and and feminine that represents the yin and the Yang that is the whole and if we can the Yang that is the whole and if we can the Yang that is the whole and if we can learn to play in both of those energies learn to play in both of those energies learn to play in both of those energies in both of those Lanes it's this in both of those Lanes it's this in both of those Lanes it's this beautiful practice and that's what the beautiful practice and that's what the beautiful practice and that's what the cold is because you got to get yourself cold is because you got to get yourself cold is because you got to get yourself into the cold and getting to that point
