Why I Took My First Cold Plunge (and What Happened)

In this video, I'm sharing my story about taking my first cold plunge. I explain why I decided to take the plunge and what happened along the way. I watch ‪@hubermanlab‬ all the time and he constantly promotes this crazy stuff for multiple health benefits. I swore I would never try it but, if Huberman believes in it I thought it might be worth a try. I even ordered my own ‪@icebarrel‬ 300 that is on it's way to me right now.
If you're considering taking a cold plunge for your first time, I hope my story will encourage you to go ahead and do it! I was a little nervous before my plunge, but I can tell you that it was worth it! And I know that once you try it, you'll never go back to living a normal life without a cold therapy!

I had to be pulled out of the cold bath after a sauna once - just cold, no ice - because I was unconscious on impact. So no, I won't be doing this! However, if you can take the cold and it helps? Do it, because I can imagine what it can potentially do. My godmother wanted to do the ice plunge in Lake Huron with her Tae Kwon Do group. She was 68 or so when she did this for the first time. They required her to have ice plunges in her bath at home for a year before they allowed her and she did. She went into Lake Huron 4 times, the last time when she was 74 and got her black belt. She stayed in for 15 minutes and was pulled out kicking and screaming because she loved it so much! We are all different and that is a very good thing!

Check out the ice man, Whim Hoff. He teaches how to do it properly and how to breathe, so you're OK through it. I would also think that you would need to ever so gradually build up your tolerance by slowly cooling the temp of the water so you don't go into shock. The breathing exercises he does and teaches also help prevent shock and allow you to focus and calm.

I couldn't do it either not spur of the moment. I have heard of icebaths for temperature lowering before. Don't know how they do it without someone passing out though. That is pure shock to the system 😳 I have done very quick cooler showers like at the end of a warm or hot shower before but very quickly not to long and have done quick cold blast for my hair before but not too long very quick. It is still not that pleasant 😕

Among the many physiological benefits, the most valuable in my mind is the mental health benefits. Doing something you don't want to do, embracing raw elements of nature, choosing the hard path over the smooth road, self discipline. In a world full of countless dopamine responses and instant gratification. The benefits of training ones mind over the temporary discomfort of the body are extremely valuable in my opinion.

One of the best feelings is to jump in a cold water as long as you can stand it and then get out into even colder air and stand in the cold air until you are freezing -even more than you were in the water....And then jump back in the water. The second time in that cold water actually feels pleasantly warm :)

Good job Niesha! My cold plunge is go outside when it is 30-40 degrees and wear a tank top or 100% cotton tshirt and shorts and work in the yard for about 20-30 minutes. Last winter was my first year on carnivore, and one day I went out in a 100% cotton Tshirt and shorts to rake leaves. I had not checked the temps but after about 5 minutes I noticed my breath and thought, “wait, how cold is it out here?” I looked and weather app said 33 degrees. I thought that was so cool!! Before carnivore I was always cold natured and had to wear almost snow coats and pants in 30 degree weather. Now I can go outside and wear light clothing with carnivore. Our bodies can adjust to cooler temps and hotter temps when on carnivore, ketovore, and low carb keto. I think carnivore provides the most body temp regulation. I was out there for 20 minutes and no real issues.

I changed my work out routine because of one of your videos talking about Dr. Andrew Huberman and the mental benefits of getting out first thing in the morning and getting sunlight and that was great during the summer months (I live in the North East) but I have been dreading going out there now that it is cold and dark at 6am but I am absolutely loving it! I am someone who is cold 24/7 and I have very little body fat and I thought there was no way in hell that I could spend an hour outside in 32 degree weather and be happy but it is the best thing I have ever done and now if I cant go for whatever reason I am almost depressed and disappointed. I completely agree with you as far as what an amazing feeling it is, kind of hard to explain to someone who hasn't experienced it. I am now dreading the warmer months LOL. I don't know if I could do a cold plunge but it is something I will definitely consider but in the meantime I will start with the cold showers and continue my walks. I am so happy you did this video I knew I felt great getting out there but didn't really connect it to the cold, I thought it was more the sun and exercise that gave me that exhilarating, euphoric but at the same time calm feeling.

Excellent job there Neisha 👍 ... Tip: Try to remember (once the initial reflex, autonomic shock-breathing has settled down) ... Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth because if we breathe in through the mouth, we don't get to inhale much of that glorious Nitrous Oxide (primarily responsible for vasal dilation & consequential blood pressure and flow regulation) that our oral bacteria (Neisseria, Haemophilus, Granulicatella, Veillonella, Prevotella, Corynebacterium, Actinomyces, and Rothia) produce in the posterior of the dorsum of the tongue, especially under anaerobic conditions (which may be part of the reason as to how Wim Hof's " breathe deep then exhale & hold " (anaerobic) breathing technique boosts the immune system by boosting Nitric Oxide levels) 😉

However, after watching your video and hearing your results after, I think I'm now open to the idea. Maybe not now as Indiana winters can be nasty, but maybe next summer. I think you're right, sometimes we need to take a look at things we said we would never do and reevaluate. I never thought I would only eat meat (even though I love meat). I never thought I could give up dairy or caffeine or nuts. It's amazing what we can do when we get out of our way. Good life lesson, Neisha :) and thanks for the reminder.

I had knee replacement surgery in June. I have been ice packing that knee daily to keep the inflammation down and decrease pain. Back to work and I am miserable. Athletes have cold baths after games to do the same thing. I don't think it is a bad thing at all. I just don't know if I could do a whole body plunge or stay in as long as you did. I am considering it though. Great going.

When Covid hit and I lost my job… I helped my daughter move back to Jersey and I started walking 22,000 + steps a day, I would take cold showers. Which hurt but then felt great afterwards. I never done this before. I was 55 .. it did give me more energy. But it was tough

I have always taken luke warm showers. I am not one to take hot showers. But now on carnivore for over a year I can tolerate hotter temps and colder temps.

you can use your backyard pool like we have here in Indiana and no heater for the water and just go in when its April, May and early June before the water warms up and also September and October before it freezes ( the water) when the water temp is only in the low 60's or mid 50's...my husband won't go in unless the water temp is in the 70's but I told him cold plunge is good for you!! :)

Neisha you’re so brave!! I have a question tho - why not just ice water in a bath tub? Why the barrel? Thanks for sharing this experience!

My husband purchased a metal animal feeding tub from a farm supply store. That was way cheaper and made a lid to go over. It works great.

This brought ua memory from 1977. I moved to Marquette Michigan for college. I also met my future and current husband. There is a large Finnish culture there and they had saunas in their homes. Marquette is on the coast of Lake Superior, the coldest of the Great Lakes. Their Finnish custom is to go into the sauna for awhile, and then jump into the lake! And freeze your #$%'s off! So, we had to try it. It was cold! But we were in our 20's back then. Gary still likes going into our pool in the winter (Not me, but I will probably start). We live in Arizona now. It has always helped reduce his chronic pain. Fun memories though!

Closest I've ever been was swimming at a remote hot springs pool in Montana late at night with friends - getting out and rolling in the snowbanks! Not the same thing, I'm afraid - you're so warm from the hot springs that the snowbank is refreshingly cool, but you don't really feel the cold.

I’ve done cold showers before and should probably get back to it. One time I took a dip in Ice Lake after hiking there. It was around 45 degrees or so. I had the hyperventilating response until I realized I could control it. I felt amazing afterwards! My mood was awesome! Side note: I have an infrared sauna from Sauna Space and they’re not as pricey as some. They did go up in price a year ago but not terrible.

Don’t the Swedish people do that in Sweden? Not in a barrel but actually in lakes? I wonder what the differences of cold plunge or just being out in the cold weather?
