@ultimatehumanpodcast Gary - I'm the 'peel your skin hot water girl'. I could die... Hell, I tip toe into the pool. Takes me about 10 minutes or more to embrace the water. I admire you. How to get myself there is the question. I want to be like you when I grow up - only keeping all my girl parts... 😘

Been doing this in the ice cold winter here in victoria Australia. I use to do it daily but I got lazy with it for awhile. It's honestly the most healthy practice we can do as humans, you can literally ditch antidepressants and all sorts of other dangerous drugs the typical doctor prescribes. Wim Hof was the reason why I got into cold showers, 💪❄️

Gary brecka I understand your not a cardiologists, but what about any health conditions with the heart or lungs. I'm just asking as I have benign ectopic heart beats (PVC's) caused through having health anxiety.

Just to keep in mind, with a slow COMT gene cold showers are probably not a good idea until you get your methylation on track. Slow COMT has a hard time breaking down dopamine and you could be left with some unpleasant side effects of high dopamine.

Where I live, my shower water is now 62 degrees F and is not giving me that feeling I had all winter long. Any suggestions by anyone who has bought, and is long term happy with a water cooler for a 50 gallon bath tub? I would love to fill the tub, plug in the cooler box next to the tub, come back in a few hours and have water anywhere from 40 to 58 degrees. I was hoping to find an appliance which is well made and maybe under $1,000.
