CAUTION: If you have uncontrolled hypertension or heart disease, it is not advised that you start practising cold water immersion. If you have any doubt at all as to whether you are fit enough to give this practice a go, please consult a qualified healthcare professional.
My guest today believes cold exposure can help you battle disease, regulate your mood, and help you connect with your true self.
Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.
Today’s clip is from episode 127 of the podcast with Wim Hof, also known as The Iceman.
Wim has been described as a ‘trailblazer for human potential’ and a ‘modern legend’. He has performed incredible feats such as withstanding extreme temperatures and climbing Kilimanjaro wearing only a pair of shorts.
In this clip, he explains why taking a cold shower every morning could improve your health, reduce stress, and help you take on any day.
