That's for sure @steveb8269 - I've seen it first hand with my own experience, but also the positive experiences of friends too.

Awesome my friend! 🙌

Thanks Dr. Anthony for the good video. I have been doing cold shower for an year now and has seen multiple benefits. Best is the freshness of mind and energy for first 4 hours of the day. I used to be 160-165 lbs for many years. Now, for past one year, I am maintaining a steady 150 lbs or less. Arizona water is cold only for 3-4 months and so I was using a bucket of cold water and now I have joined a health club for past two months for ice water plunge. I usually do two sessions of 5 minutes in 35-40 F water. I recently did a blood test and was amazed to see that my testosterone level went to 680 from 500 an year ago. Vitamin D, B12 levels also went closer to high limit. Even my doctor was quite surprised as I am aged 58. But, I am also doing semen retention (SR) and transmutation with Yoga Aasanas, meditation etc. and have been going for weeks and months without busting nuts. So, my improvements could be coming from both cold water therapy and SR.

What temp is your cold tub? I’ve just started dunking in an old broken chest freezer I filled with water. It naturally went to 57 based on air temps but thinking it should be colder? Thank you!

Hey thanks for writing in! We recommend setting your temp to somewhere between 50-60F degrees to start. Over time, this can slowly be reduced but that is a good range to work with. Best of luck! -The FFP Team

Hi there. I live in Alberta. Would sitting outside in the winter without a coat for the same 3 minutes provide a similar benefit? I would just go outside in the morning with my dog. Thanks

Hi thanks for writing in! There is some benefit to shivering and embracing that discomfort. However, most studies from cold exposure involve water where you are directly in contact with the colder temperatures on your skin. Best of luck and thanks for watching! -The FFP Team

we have only ice swimming here... 32F/0C... what do you think, is it good for health

Oh, for sure @rherhe2727 - That is particularly cold, so I would definitely recommend just very short times, especially when you're getting used to it. Out of interest, where are you based, and do you already do ice swimming?

I was fortunate enough to be at Fit father retreat with Dr A this fall and we all got to try it. It was an unbelievable experience and he is right about what he said in the video. I was able to do it couple times and wow definitely felt and saw benefits.

What temperature are you aiming for in cold exposure?

@Fitfatherproject

5 ай бұрын

Personally, I have mine set at 45 F (7.2 C). I’ve had it as low as 39 for stretches of time… it’s definitely more physically painful at 39 which increases mental challenge but likely gives no more physical benefits than mid 40s.

Research says even low 50s is good. My personal experience is that 40s is the sweet spot

Is that a hot shower or cold shower @biffbifford402? You have noted you take a hot shower, but this video is about cold exposure. I wanted to check there was no confusion.

Do you have a sauna yet?

@Fitfatherproject

5 ай бұрын

Yes! Infrared one. I’m getting into the habit of using it more. Big fan. I think the cold is easier to incorporate if you have access to cold because it only takes a few min

@@Fitfatherproject Yeah, a cold plunge every morning in the fall is wonderful! We built our own two story, wood-burning sauna that is quite nice. We love the intense heat and steam from the hot rocks.
