Cold Thermogenesis, Fasting, and Longevity

Ray Cronise—pioneer in cold thermogenesis research—on metabolic adaptation, intermittent fasting, weight loss, and healthspan extension.

Key Insights

Cold thermogenesis activates brown adipose tissue and mitochondrial uncoupling

Combined with intermittent fasting, amplifies metabolic benefits

Weight loss through increased energy expenditure, not appetite suppression

Longevity pathways overlap: mTOR suppression, autophagy activation, the benefits of hormesis

"The body adapts to what you consistently demand of it—controlled stress builds resilience when applied deliberately."
