Magnus Appelberg - Breathing for Cold Exposure Therapy

“This is an amazing new planet you are landing on.”

This week on the OA Podcast, Patrick and Daniel are joined by Finnish ice swimmer Magnus Appelberg to discuss his new book, ‘Ice-cold piece of mind’ and his incredible journey through the freezing world of ice baths and ice swimming.

He outlines how he trained himself to calm the body’s natural panic state when entering freezing cold water and used it to develop his ‘Ice Lab Method’.

Similarly, he explains how he uses his exercises to train the body’s ‘fight or flight’ reaction to ice cold water and how learning to control this reaction and reach a certain level of relaxation can have huge benefits for our health.
