I'm joined today with Liam Browning. He is a return guest to the podcast because of his deep desire to be willing to dive into topics of my,

I guess, our interest, my interest. This one was more of my interest. Today we'll be talking about

cold exposure. It's a practice of immersion into ice baths, cold plunges, cold water swimming, cold showers, cryotherapy, which has surged in popularity.

I remember I watched the Wim Hof documentary and you watched these guys visiting Wim Hof

and I had never been in a cold immersion when I watched this thing and you're watching

these guys jump into ice cold waterfalls and you're like, I don't know if I could do that.

You know, they go on this like super long hike

in the Arctic cold freezing.

And they're in the sauna,

and they're in their back in the cold,

and then they're in the sauna,

and they're back in the cold.

And you're like, what is this?

And then all of a sudden, everyone starts talking about it. So I got interested in it a couple of years ago, built my own cold plunge,

went out this morning, did four minutes at 42 degrees Fahrenheit,

just because I knew I was coming on.

Yeah, to say that you've done it. So you can talk about it.

I had to re-experience it.

And I've recommended it to a couple couple patients who have had good results.

We're going to talk about this today.

We're going to go through every study.

This will be the most comprehensive audio article out there, I would say, at this point.
