Episode notes

Adapting to the cold can shield your skin and reduce the cold's effects. However, it's important to judge the right time to stop, rather than waiting until shivering. One to two minutes should be enough to activate your brown fat. After getting out of the water, standing in the wind or exposing yourself to cold can also increase your metabolism. Ending with cold instead of heat is a good exercise as it forces your body to generate its own heat. This activity is practical and beneficial for your health.

Dr. Susanna Søberg is a PhD graduate from the University of Copenhagen, specializes in studying the effects of intentional exposure to cold and heat on human physiology, particularly metabolism. Her work explores how deliberate cold protocols can enhance glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and neurotransmitter release, contributing to improved energy, mood, and focus.
