Send us a text

Brace yourselves for a frosty adventure into the world of cold plunging! Remember how Jack Frost nipped at your nose? Well, imagine him taking a playful bite at your whole body - that's what cold plunging feels like. As your host, Dawn Barlow, I'm going to share my personal journey with this ancient practice which has suddenly garnered quite the buzz on social media. We'll examine why it's not just another health fad and why it might not be for everyone. Along the way, we'll sift through the snowflakes of truth about the much-debated Wim Hof method.

Let's further navigate the icy terrains of cold water immersion, understanding its potential benefits and lurking dangers. Can cold plunges truly alleviate pain and inflammation? Or are we exposing ourselves to the risk of cold shock and muscle degeneration? My mission is to equip you with key insights and safety tips for your own cold plunge expedition. And while we're at it, let's also dispel the myth that you should never plunge alone or in a random location. So, get ready for a fresh perspective on wellness, health, and mental health. And hey, if you enjoy our chilly chatter, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this podcast with your loved ones.
