E.157 Wim Hoff, Resilience and The Power of Cold with Brass Monkey Founder Dan Bosomworth
This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by Dan Bosomworth, founder of Brass Monkey — a leading ice bath brand known not just for its incredible product, but also for its powerful ethos: challenge creates change.
In this episode, Dan and I dive deep into the world of cold water therapy. While the physical benefits are undeniable — offering a full-body reset — it’s the mental transformation that truly stands out. We explore how exposure to the cold can build resilience, shift your mindset, and have a genuinely life-changing impact.
A major influence behind Brass Monkey was none other than Wim Hof, and we talk about how his philosophy inspired Dan to bring this vision to life.
Whether it’s through ice baths or cold showers, this episode will inspire you to give cold water therapy a try — and trust me, the benefits will speak for themselves.
The topics we discuss are:
- What makes Brass Monkey the worlds best?
- Dan's journey to cold exposure
- Why he started the brand
- The Wim Hoff effect
- The mental and physical benefits of cold exposure
- Why cold water therapy is addictive
- How you can overdose on cold exposure and the danger in it
- How it builds resilience
- Hot and cold therapy and the benefits
- How cold water therapy can play a part in your fitness journey and benefit and improve your workouts
