Huberman: Why Cold Showers Are So Life Changing

[FBeckenbauer]

I do get the 'cold water in the morning to get dopamine' argument, but personally I still prefer doing cocaine.

[mollybutler]

I love how he had to clarify that you shouldn’t take cocaine at all

Pure un-cut Columbian Cold Showers. The finest of fine.

[josemontano]

I find I look forward to showing more ever since I started taking cold showers.

That explains the question of people in shorts and T-shirt in winter! I was always wondering how they do it, now it’s clear

[kindofagod]

Just had my first one and i feel amazing, 100% try it

During the winter when my limbs would get cold, mostly my feet, I found going outside in the snow bare foot for a few actually helped warm them up. Now I know it wasn’t just psychosomatic.

It’s interesting how the positive effects actually get more noticeable over time, at least in my case. After just a week of taking a cold shower everyday, you‘ll not only have felt the benefits of that dopamine spike, you also start to feel more energized and resilient overall. Step by step, you learn to cope with stress (mental and physical) in a more comfortable way and overcome psychological barriers.
Now, I’m going to start an ice bath routine after having been familiar with cold exposure for a while, as someone who has always happily _avoided_ the cold. If I can do it, you can do it too

I just took my first cold shower for over 10 minutes i feel reborn pretty sure i overdid it for my first time so if youre not a strong person be like everyone else and start with 30 seconds lol im very sleepy right now

[baab]

This is true. Je nage en hiver, et c’est excellent!

[Sid]

I may have to get back to cold showers. I’ve been getting too soft after a recent PCS as it was stressful but now it’s time to get back to brass tacks!

[jryan]

just started taking cold showers best thing ever, now I'm at the point where I can start cold and finish cold took one 3 times yesterday

[BrickHeadstrong]

I’m about 50 days in on this! Haven’t really wanted to go back since. Just feels great!

[Jdrummer]

Just wish the water was colder this time of year, waiting for winter. Doing ice baths for now, a big task to get the ice together. Trying to heal a herniated disc.

When I wake up here lately I have doing a min or 2 of grounding, followed by a little calisthenics workout, some Wim Hof breathing and a cold shower. Generally about 3-5 times a week I just turn the cold all the way up and enjoy an incredibly refreshing shower.

I don't even wear a sweater in the wintertime in the PNW. I've only been doing cold showers for a week. It's helped regulate my thyroid hormones as well.

[Gcuso]

Misunderstood the video, now I'm addicted to cocaine.

[pothekainfused]

Started a couple weeks ago and now I’m on day 3 of a 2min in the morning for 2weeks….lets go 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[majestichellium]

I was actually addicted to cold showers for a bit and for some reason it was making me really tired so I stopped I’m thinking about trying again now but idk

We get warm water out of the cold water spicket for about 5 months of the year here in the Phoenix area. I shut my hot water heater off, and cannot wash my cold water only clothes! Our pipes are not buried deep enough.
