I've noticed the opposite. I was doing alternating hot bath 10 min/ cold shower 5 min repeat. When I started, my adjoining bedroom was colder than usual, and I was shivering before getting into bath. After I finished up with cold shower, I noticed that the ambient temp in the room was now quite comfortable. Cold showers may be a way to deal with rising heating costs?

I take alternating hot and cold showers, and what helped me the most is, before turning the water colder, thinking "Yay, here comes the awesome cold water" instead of thinking "oh, no, it's going to feel horrible in a sec." Makes all the difference in the world, expectation has a huge influence on experience.

From my experiences with cold showers, number 7 is the most important here. Especially when you first start out, every fibre of your body will be screaming at you “DONT DO THIS”. The more you think about it, the more chance you’ll talk yourself out of it. JUST DO IT!! I started out taking the advice of number 1 but found it just prolonged the anticipation of the misery that was to come, for me I quickly realised the best way was to just go straight to cold, starting with the head and face. It took me about three weeks to gain total control of my breathing, before that there was lots of shouting and swearing lol. Start today and in four weeks from now you will be so glad you did. It’s great for developing stronger discipline too. DO IT!

Did you know Mohammad is your God? Allah is your only Intercessor: Allah it is He Who has created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them in six Days. Then He Istawa (rose over) the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). You (mankind) have none, besides Him, as a Wali (protector or helper etc.) OR AN INTERCESSOR. Will you not then remember (or be admonished)? S. 32:4 Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then He established Himself upon the Throne, directing all things. THERE IS NO INTERCESSOR (WITH HIM) save after His permission. That is Allah, your Lord, so worship Him. Oh, will ye not remind? S. 10:3 But Mohammad is also your Intercessor: When I see Him, I will fall down in prostration before Him, and will remain in prostration as long as He will, and then He will say, ‘RAISE YOUR HEAD, O MUHAMMAD, AND SPEAK, FOR YOU WILL BE LISTENED TO, AND INTERCEDE, FOR YOUR INTERCESSION WILL BE ACCEPTED, AND ASK, FOR YOUR REQUEST WILL BE GRANTED.’ (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 97, Number 532 (O Allah, I ask of You and I turn my face towards You BY VIRTUE OF THE INTERCESSION OF MUHAMMAD THE PROPHET OF MERCY. O MUHAMMAD, I have turned to my Lord BY VIRTUE OF YOUR INTERCESSION concerning this need of mine, so that it may be met. O Allah, accept HIS INTERCESSION concerning me)”. (SAHIH) (English Translation of Sunan Ibn Majah: Compiled by Imam Muhammad Bin Yazeed Ibn Majah Al-Qazwini, Ahadith edited and referenced by Hafiz Abu Tahir Zubair 'Ali Za'i, translated by Nasiruddin al-Khattab (Canada), final review by Abu Khaliyl (USA) [Darussalam Publications and Distributors, First Edition: June 2007], Volume 2, From Hadith no. 803 to 1782, 5. The Chapters Of Establishing The Prayer And The Sunnah Regarding Them, Chapter 189. What Was Narrated Concerning Prayer At Times Of Need, pp. 329-330 If you are wondering how this makes Allah a Mushrik and a Kafir, the answer is simple: By accepting Muhammad’s Intercession Allah is actually encouraging his followers to turn to a Creature for Salvation, thereby violating his very own instructions as found in both the Quran and specific ahadith. In other words, Allah is actually encouraging and promoting shirk! Place your faith in the real God Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and you will not perish. Have a good day.

I can’t imagine starting my days without this and we both are amazed at the changes we’ve noticed. Some of which are increased energy and an overall feeling of alertness/better focus as well as a happy euphoric feeling throughout the day. Even our skin is different…softer, smoother and luminous. We just go with straight cold, no hot water. I don’t even take hot showers anymore as I find this more enjoyable. We sometimes laugh about it as we never thought we’d be into this. If you can get through the first few days of it and stay in long enough to relax your body and breathing, you can begin to appreciate it. Truly amazing and we are converts! ⛄️⛄️

After my warm shower I always end with 3 minutes cold shower. Everyday for over a year now, summer and winter. Once a month I do 10 minutes. After exiting the shower I get warm instantly, like if I just turned on an internal heater in my body. The cold always gives a little stress when you are in the shower, but the adrenaline rush drops immediately after the shower and I live my life without any other stress that way. Good tips in this video to get you started!! Thanks dr Berg

I love to take cold showers. I feel awake and my skin feels so much softer. I don’t waste so much water and energy. It’s so beneficial for the health and the environment. I don’t need any coffee to be awake and I’m not freezing so fast in winter. For me it’s the best morning routine 😃

No need to heat your house before taking cold showers. If the water temperature is e.g. 10 degress C in winter (=50 Fahrenheits), and once you get out of the shower, you feel warm, because the environment around you is warm enough without excess heating. 20 degrees C (68 F) in your house is enough to feel warm. Once you turn off the cold water tap, you will start to feal warm, just try it! After a couple of months of cold showering you will be able to stay out of doors in winter wearing just a T-shirt without feeling cold.

Thank you for the reference to Lake Michigan, Dr. Berg. I'm a fifteen-year veteran cold plunger from Chicago. To this day, I remember my first cold winter shower being almost traumatic at the onset, but now, I don't bat an eyelash before my morning ritual. We have several groups here in Chicago, polar bears, who meet and oftentimes cut through the ice and wade into the icy water for the thrill of the marvelous feeling afterward. Being an endorphin junkie, I take two or three cold rinses a day to reset the lethargy that sets in following a long day of work. I cannot identify the benefits, having practiced this ritual for over a decade, yet I do know that I haven't had as much as a cold since I began. Anecdotally, having tested positive for Covid twice in the past year, I'm happy to say that I never suffered a sniffle, cough, or any of the other symptoms of the infection. I highly recommend cold water showering to everyone. Buck up, step in, enjoy, repeat!

I discovered the supreme benefits of cold showers years before KZread and wim hof were a thing. At this point some 20 years after learning about it I can’t remember my sources, but I do remember it being stressed not to run the cold water on your head. Your video doesn’t mention it either way, but almost all of the accompanying videos of people showering are exhibiting this practice. Not a good idea. I also remembering the importance of ending on the cold shower, Not a warm one. Indeed the sublime warm feeling you feel inside after a cold shower is heightened if you end with the cold water. Lastly, it becomes extremely easy after only a week of daily practice. I think this is worth mentioning to motivate people.

Im on day 3 of freezing cold showers. First night was almost traumatic but I fought the urge to get out and finished the shower. Today was easier. Im going to keep at this.

Been taking a cold shower for the last two years, all year around. Live in PNW, so it does get cold. The energy after the shower, is alone worth it, in addition to the other benefits. Dr berg, thanks to wonderful service, you have been doing in the last decade plus.

I have been taking cold showers for the last 6 months not everyday but say 4-5 times a week. What really helped me to get into this wonderful habit and be consistent over time was meditation with its slow breathing technique I could more easily concentrate and get past that uncomfortable threshold. Now I stay in 2 to 4 minutes and when I get out I don't dry up straight away but I wait 5 extra minutes, more or less, before starting to remove that water excess. Biggest improvement I have noticed? A higher sleep quality and better mood. I will definitely stick to it going forward as it's been for me a great game-changer.

For me cold showers is like fasting. It’s all in your mind. If you see it as no big deal, then it will be something you will look forward in doing. I think that the fact that you have your mind before the body is a big benefit to your life.

A quick way to get used to the cold is to keep the shower on the back of your neck and back first, then after around 45 seconds it’s quite easy

My day starts with a 2 to 3 minutes. Cold shower. 16ozs of water with half oi lemon with a teaspoon of applesider vinegar. Another 16ozs of black coffee before walking out the door. Fast all day at work. Eat around 4:30 when I get home walking 3 to 4 miles. Eat again all clean. One word foods. Stretch hot shower. In need by 10. At 56. I feel great.

I've started building up my time in the cold shower since you started talking about how great the benefits are. Thank you

Chronic Lyme because the doctors never test me for it gave me seizures almost died it took me years did the cold shower, conscious breath WHM, fasting, keto,exercise and meditation. Was on 10 different pain and psyche meds off all for over a year and a half and Lyme symptoms have abated. Doctors were blown away said I aged reverse 15 years!!

So here’s the deal … GUARANTEED!!! Get in the shower and turn it to the coldest setting and leave it on cold for TEN MINUTES. After the first forty seconds of your cold shower the body adapts and the pain is over. Period. I started cold showers (at Dr Bergs recommendation) 4/7/22. I am 67yo and the only thing I do each day is hang on to something when the cold water begins just for safety reasons. I’m guessing that almost every one of those following Dr Berg are competitive and interested in their well being. Trust him on this.

I used to do a dry brush followed by hot/cold alternating shower. Dr. Berg inspired me to start again. Have been doing cold showers for three weeks now. I start super hot and warm my body, then switch to as cold as it will go. After the third day my body loves it!! Actually can stay in the cold shower and enjoy it. It’s really just the idea of it. I’m 77 years old. I have been the first to get sick last few years. This last week everyone BUT me got sick!! Now that’s a testimony. Thank you Dr. Berg!! We call you our health guru!

Hi Dr. Berg! Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it very much. If you start with a hot bath or a sauna until you feel uncomfortable, then the cold will be a relief, and over time, you will develop positive feelings when thinking about the cold. Your body's response to the cold will also change over time; it adapts, so don't think that you will always feel the cold the same way you do when first starting out-your body will adapt and it won't be such a big deal to take a cold shower after you've done it for a few years. Self-hypnosis also helps; if you tell yourself enough times that you love cold showers, you will start to believe it. I no longer believe cold showers are uncomfortable, but rather full of sensations that make me feel completely alive. I find the cold has a calming effect after a few minutes, so I always look forward to that feeling. I find it also helps to quit thinking, and to just focus on the sensations you are feeling while experiencing the cold. If you can do this, a cold shower is a wonderful experience full of marvelous sensations that improves your health tremendously. What's not to love about that?

I remember taking cold showers for a few weeks. I did straight cold setting in the summer (which I finally got a temp check of it being 60°) and it always sucked. I would tell myself, “it’s gonna suck. Get over it, and embrace it.” What helped me immensely was to warm my body by doing a workout that got my core to heat up. The next option was to do look warm, and incrementally start making it colder. That actually helped me out a lot better than cold all at once. Ironically I did find it helped me with stress at work, so that I could think clearer. It made me a lot more “chill” and not so uptight. I shall resume this henceforth.

Was taking cold showers for as long as I remember and some point decided to " polar bear". How I went about it : started late August, when water was still warm. Was coming for a swim every day or other day, never allowing more then 3 days of a gap between the swims. Temperature drops gradually. By the time it was February, i was looking forward to my swims. Never knew i was capable of it and I was and am. And that opend up my mind many other things in life i "thought" or concluded was not for me. Good luck eveyone, there's more to you then you might know in a moment. Personal tip: When you become comfortable with cold water, or when ever you choose As I switch to cold water in a shower I take a body brush and brush the body along the massage lines, lymph nodes, etc. With this addition you can totally forget about cellulite or saggy skin, plus lymph system is boosted and greatful! and I dont need to tell you about what well performing lymph system does. And may other benefits I notesed. Skin thought is one of the more obvious

Just finished part one, love I found these by you whom I follow fairly close. This helped me to say "Yes" to doing Phase 1 of the live hard program, which includes a 5 min shower daily for 30 days :D. Im currently on day 42 of the 75hard program, which does NOT require a cold shower. Thank you as always, you are a rockstar. Love your on and off...great solution!! I wish my program was just 2 mins...its 5..but so appreciate some of these tips I can use. :)

There was a point I was taking cold showers everyday for like a week or two and then I stopped. I need to get back into it for sure. Because I definitely need it for inflammation, better sleep and cognitive functions. The best thing about cold showers is you can dry yourself really fast and easy.

No thanks Dr Berg. No cold teas or cold showers for me. Anything else I would love your advice. ☺️☺️

I'm 73 and three months of cold showers reduced my aches and pains by 90 per cent. I do it in stages: 30 seconds on bad wrist, 30 seconds on feet and ankles, 30 seconds on each knee, 30 seconds on bad shoulder, 30 seconds on face and eyes and then about a minute or so on shoulders, back and rest of body (that's the hard part). This practice is not that much fun when you're doing it but it's quite pleasant when you're done and the psychological and physical benefits have been worth it.

I’m on 8 1/2 weeks of cold showers!! Dr Berg you explain much better than Wim hof!! ❤

Wow, Dr Berg. Great video. There is not much information about brown fat and the details of it and do I have enough of it. Can you do more on this topic? Thank you for all your videos. You have helped so many regain their health. God bless you.

Thanks Dr Berg for this information I've been trying to take warm showers recently and just at the very end of it I turn it onto ice cold so that I get a Big chill just before I get out. I noticed I feel much more alert and less dizzy with the ice cold water but I've yet to be able to take a complete shower in cold.

I just went India in cold river Gang . Both time stay in side Ganga 15 minuets to 30 minutes . Change life and didn’t feel cold after go in .now I understand why thanks Dr. B

I have taken cold showers my entire life. I love it.

Cool, I took one yesterday and it was so cold after evite body I did one shoulder then the other then from waist down. My arthritis in my hand felt better after that shower alone! I slowed down on the cold showers after summer as cold days make it more difficult and it's only October! Have to get used to the habit before the middle of winter chill! They lessen my depression and give me more energy! I'm working on consistency with everything actually! Good luck to all! It's free and oh so healthy! 😊🌞🙏

Happy to know that you found the information useful. Thanks for watching!

3 months now, up to 12 mins on weekdays, started with a minute, really good for maintaining attention and performance at work. Another tip, avoid water to the head and alternate with hot water at the end, back and forth for those benefits. Huberman has an extensive list of tools on the topic, got my ice bath on the way, which I can't wait to finally try, especially now being acclamated to cold showers. The breathing tip is key, and also the mental method is useful to think of each step as a wall you need to climb over. Try physiological sigh or Wim Hoff breathing, and a few controlled hyper ventilating breaths too (3 x cycles) also helps.

Last year i started going for swimming in the winter. It's an amazing feeling, it's a shock at first but later you come to a point where you feel absolutely nothing, neither cold neither hot, I just love it !

Up to 5min, basically my shower routine. Every morning. I love doing it.

Cold showers got real easy last year after hurricane Ida. No electricity for 13 days.

I've been taking cold showers for more than 8 months, 2 per day actually, each one after my strong vinyasa yoga sessions at 4 a.m (I wake up at 3 a.m.) and in the late afternoon. It was not so very hard to get used to it, so much so that in the end hot showers became somewhat unpleasant, honest. All this seems to fit very well with the 6/18 intermittent fasting. In the beginning, I used to say to myself: "Hey, it is just water, why worry so much? This sensation will pass away anyway, so just keep on enduring it, we'll reward ourselves with a delicious oatmeal/nuts/kefir bowl for breakfast afterwards". Now it is no more traumatic, but decidedly stimulating.

Fasting 6/18 ? How to do it 🙏 please????

@Nedmar

@@elisavetelis7405 Well, basically it is about taking food in a 6 hours intake window, and fasting for the subsequent 18 hours, taking tea at most, if this period of fasting feels too unbearable. Many do this between 1 and 7 pm., but some of us do this between 6 am and noon. I am no one to give advice on this, each one has to start testing what is better fitting for oneself. The only thing which is really needed is an unbreakable will to get through the initial hardship till the body gets used to this new condition, which in time becomes natural.

In the winter I break the ice and put a timer on for 4 1/2 minutes, after the first minute and a half euphoria hits you doesn’t even feel very cold anymore. Found this out when fishing in the 60’s I fell in the ocean 30 degree water! Just keep your head out.

It's not as horrible as it sounds. Actually, you get used to it quickly and it's very invigorating!

Sir one request can you please improve your audio quality on your videos

For anyone having problems with the cold water , you can start with cool instead of cold. Cool showers for a week or a month then slowly lower the temp. Not everyone can go straight to the cold but there are trucks like this to ease into it. Either way your body will thank you.

I disagree with starting out warm…. I start out by standing on a towel and using a spray bottle spray myself all over with cold soapy water as I am doing this I turn on the cold water faucet and my brain is then trained to going from my cold spraying to walking into the cold temperature of the shower and I really have learned to enjoy the cold shower…. Especially all of the benefits Dr Berg shared. Thank you.

Yep love me cold showers 😀

I’m a Floridian and I’m intolerant to cold. Even my body fat is old. I will, however, step outside into the rain occasionally just for the refreshed feeling. I have gone from hot tub to an unheated pool and back for therapy. It gets your heart pumping and blood moving😊.👍

I find it helpful to first put my hands under the cold water stream. It tells the body -- get ready, cold is on the way. Then on the face, which is used to being colder when we are outside in winter; and then quickly, finally on the whole body. This procedure enables me to get straight into a cold shower without a warm one first. It saves a lot of time. A 30 second cold shower is all I need. I have been doing this for many years. It works well. The idea of taking a cold shower in winter is always much worse than the actual reality. If I feel cold before getting into a cold shower, I don't feel at all cold afterwards. The body is stimulated to generate heat

Great suggestions and information! I'm going to give it a go! Thanks so much, Dr. Berg!

Another tip from something I learned from morning Run & Dip at the Outward Bound School on Hurricane Island in Maine. Your mental resistance / desire to avoid is a large part of why it feels bad. If you can go in with the mental attitude of “bring it on,” embracing the cold in your mind, it’s still cold, but it doesn’t feel like a bad experience. Magic!

I started taking cold showers last winter. I live in upstate NY and I noticed it helped me tolerate the cold better.

Been following wim hof method for years and each of these advice works. Singing in the cold also works as it tricks your breath into longer exhale and relax. Gradual move from hot to cold works well, but you have to go all the way to cold every time. Good luck with it - results are great.

I have always end my showers with cold water on my legs for good circulation before knowing all these others benefits...But the truth is that those last years I try to swim in the sea until I can, last week still one hour with goosebumps all the time 😅...I'm half an hour far from it, a lot for an island 😂...If I was leaving by the sea, I for sure will jump in it every single day... The energy you feel after swimming in cold water is fantastic!! And you feel warm getting out of it! If you can do it, seas or lakes, don't loose this experience! 💙

I live in cold damp country. Think I’ll stick to the warm ones. 😀

I love cold rivers and lakes in the early spring. Boy, do they energize? Free your mind, empower you.

I take an ice cold showers every day. I knew I felt better I very seldom get sick and I have beautiful hair. Now I know why I feel so good after a ice cold shower. Normally I only take 5 minutes after I soap up I use the cold shower to rinse off. Now I’ll be staying for at least 10 min. or more. I am so glad I LOVE ice cold showers. I also practice Intermittent Fasting daily. Oh an bye the way I’m 75 years old and most people are amazed when I tell them my age. Love you Dr Berg. Keep on doing what you do ❤

I'm doing an ice bath every day now, feeling fantastic! The only trouble is I'm too big to get fully emersed in the water. Doing about 20 minutes. Also doing cold showers at the gym after workouts. I still have a lot of weight to lose so I'm doing every intervention I can fit in.

I usually eat a early supper around 6:00 p.m. and I can have anything I want for my one meal a day.. sometimes I get really hungry around lunch time so I will eat a bowl of spinach or cooked cabbage and that will make me hunger pain go away and give me some good nutrition also. Sometimes I add cooked carrots also.. actually any vegetable that has zero calories or less than 30 calories..
