ANECDOTE

Seager's Ice Bath Health Turnaround

  • Thomas P. Seager reversed his high PSA levels and chronic health conditions using daily ice baths combined with intermittent fasting and keto.
  • His testosterone surged to an unprecedented 1180 ng/dL, contradicting common medical myths about testosterone and prostate cancer.
INSIGHT

Mitochondria's Role in Low Testosterone

  • Low testosterone in men is largely caused by mitochondrial damage and lifestyle factors, not moral failings or genetics.
  • Mitochondria are key to sex hormone synthesis, so fixing metabolic health can naturally restore testosterone.
ADVICE

Fix Mitochondria Before Hormones

  • Before initiating hormone replacement therapy (HRT), especially testosterone for women, try to improve mitochondrial and metabolic health first.
  • Cold plunge therapy combined with metabolic support can naturally boost hormone levels and fertility in women.
