Today I want to give you some tips on how to take a cold shower for the benefits without feeling so uncomfortable.

When we’re too comfortable, our bodies weaken. So, adding a little stress, as long as it’s not overwhelming, can be a positive thing. A few other examples of good stressors are exercise and intermittent fasting.

The potential benefits of taking cold showers:
• Immune support
• Decreased inflammation
• Cognitive support
• Mood support
• Increased energy
• Increased fat-burning
• Improved insulin resistance
• Increased longevity

11 tips to make taking cold showers easier:
1. Start by taking a warm shower and gradually make the water colder
2. Rub the skin while being exposed to the cold water
3. Relax your entire body
4. Slow down your breathing
5. Turn on some music
6. Before your cold shower, do intense exercise
7. Don’t overthink it, just do it
8. Gradually increase intervals
9. End your shower with warm water
10. Gradually do portions of your body in the cold water
11. Do intermittent exposure to the cold water

I am 18 years old. Since I was 16 I take a cold shower every day, even in WINTER! It gives me a lot of energy and my skin is clearer than ever. It's hard to go back to hot showers when you're experiencing the benefits of cold temperature

I have been taking cold showers for about a year and I feel AMAZING! I look forward to taking cold showers. In the winter, I warm my house up and take my shower. I'm 54 years old and I have no inflammation, it's AMAZING! Dr. Berg is the REAL deal!

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!

I've been having only cold showers for over 10 years, all year, and it's the best thing I ever did for my health. Even living in an area where winter temps are -14C at night I couldn't give them up. I tried alternating hot and cold therapy but I couldn't handle the heat. I get straight under the cold water and have no shock reaction any more.

I've tried cold showers but we live in a northeastern state with VERY cold well water. I will definitely try these tips since I feel better using 16/8 fasting and weight lifting along with hiit exercises. I'm 62, female at 115 lbs at 5" in height. Im in better shape than most of my peers, but continue on this path of improvement due to caregiving for 25 years and now helping my 87 year old mother. We can improve so many things about our quality of life, and the journey is worth it!

I just hit day 30 on cold showers. I wish I had started this way earlier in life. Personally I wouldn't go hot at the end though, as suggested in #9, because the feeling of your body doing the work to warm itself up afterward is great. Makes you feel on top of the world.

Female, age 59. I get enormous lasting pain & fatigue relief from cold showers. Same in the summer from an unheated pool - the only time I feel full energy & joy. It’s so worth the effort of getting acclimated. Sometimes I now crave the relief it gives me. Clears the brain fog & anxiety as well. Go for it - it will become easier and easier.

I actually showered with cold water everyday for 7 months, it definitely does improves mood, like day and night difference in mood, it gets rid of any kind of laziness

I am 28 yrs old and I bathe cold showers. it helps in meditation and also gives peace and energy at the same time.

What I do is put my arm into the cold shower without stepping inside. It prepares my body for the coldness. Once I step into the cold shower, I rotate myself (turning my body around 360 degrees). I rotate about three times.

This way, the cold water is evenly coating me. Cold showers are so much easier when I do this even during cold weather.

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

Being Hopi & Laguna cold bathing in natural spring water is a natural everyday routine, as a child I remember when environment was healthier we wash our hair with rain water too - now I live in city & still take only cold showers, rewards are very healthy thank you Dr. Eric for sharing.

After watching this video I literally went to have a cold shower and followed his advice what to do . OMG! First day of cold shower I feel great already ! I always have hot shower almost everyday as I work in the hospital it makes my skin so dry and scalp dry too, from now on cold shower here we go ! Thank you Doctor you’re awesome

I can't take cold showers, but I recently found out that I have no problem with cold BATHS. I love them, and to my own surprise, even look forward to them. What makes it different for me is that I can control the speed of immersion. I live in Montreal and the water's cold here now, but a 15 minute cold bath feels easy to do. I don't feel the need for warmth after. My body feels alive, the skin more toned, and it's a balm for sore muscles. I never thought I could do this, let alone like it.

I love to sleep in the winter months w/ my balcony door opened at night, people think that is crazy but I sleep comfortably being cold. Thanks Dr Berg for basically confirming that this is actually a good thing for the body 🙏

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 😃

[DJTronuk]

Totally agree! I shower and wash my hair with warm water first and then I wrinse off with cold water and relax in it a couple minutes before exiting. My skin and hair have never been more moisturized and healthy than now. Feels great for healing too 🙌🏾👏🏾

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.
