Degrees of Health
Benjamin Hopkins and Eloise Desoutter
We exist to connect the dots across health disciplines, and to share information that gives you the agency to change the trajectory of your own health journey - wherever you are at. The health industry is siloed, confusing and means we're often in the back seat, with little to no belief in our autonomy to improve our health status. We're here to change that and to highlight the ways that you can too.Subscribe on YouTubeListen on SpotifyListen on Apple Music Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dr Thomas Seager, PhD | Cold Exposure on Resilience, Testosterone and Pair-Bonding
Dr. Thomas P Seager is an Associate Professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering at Arizona State University. He is the founder of a new concept called Self-Actual Engineering that emphasises application of design principles for the top of Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Motivation, rather than the bottom. Seager is CEO of Morozko Forge ice bath company and an expert in the use of ice baths for building metabolic and psychological resilience.If you are looking to understand why you might start cold exposure practices, this episode breaks down why we should consider it. Thomas covers male and female hormonal responses (including Testosterone Replacement Therapy and hormonal optimisation), psychological resilience, oxytocin and pair-bonding, and the relationship between vitamin D, cold exposure and the immune system. He generously shares the changes we can expect to see - physiologically, cognitively, and emotionally in response to the cold.Find Thomas here:Substack - https://seagertp.substack.com/Twitter & Instagram: @seagertp Email: thomas.seager@asu.edu----------------------------------------------------------------------Mentioned in this podcast:Andrew Huberman - Huberman Lab PodcastJoe Rogan - The Joe Rogan ExperienceMorozko Forge Ice Bath CompanyGorilla Mindset - Mike Cernovich----------------------------------------------------------------------Want to watch this on video?
