What Happens After 30 Days of COLD SHOWERS? - This Will SHOCK YOU! | Dr. Susanna Søberg

Some of the best things for our health are totally free......exercise, fasting, sunlight, sleep, cold, proper breathing & meditation.

All around me for years people have been succumbing to one illness or another. I refused the jab and was ostracized. I’m 73, been taking cold showers for many years, eat two meals a day, arise at 4:30 to do yoga, paint and make music, and live in an old church in northern NY that is hardly heated. I’m so grateful for the discoveries that bring vitality, peace, and love.

Cold sea swimming literally saved my life after I lost my son to suicide. I can’t swim in the sea every day so I cold shower and it has helped my mental health immensely 🙏

I’m 72 years old. About 30 years ago I decided not to become a victim of comfort. Since then, I cold shower every morning and exercise regularly but mildly. My BMI was always around 27, so 4 years ago I started doing intermittent fasting, which I do since, almost every day (6 - 18). Now, my BMI is 24.5 and feeling really well. Nothing is automatic at my place, I have to do everything, open the gate, the garage door, house keeping, etc. I don’t watch tv, I read, I do electronics and computing, photography etc.

I'm 77 and have taken a cold shower pretty much every day for the past 50 years. I take supplements, keep my mind active, watch my diet, avoid unnecessary stress and exercise and not for one second contemplated taking the jab. We need to get back to simplicity.

It's about being comfortable with being Uncomfortable. Fasting - hunger Cold Water- Feeling cold Exercise - breathless Strength- Sore Muscles Breathwork - Restless All these provide a degree of discomfort and that's where the magic and the adaptions happen.

I have been practicing cold exposure for 35 days, which includes 31 times of being in a tub of +41°F/+5°C water for over 2 minutes at a time, as well as 6 days of walking/biking outside in freezing temperatures wearing only a t-shirt and shorts. I add 5 seconds per week, and right now I have a tub waiting where I will stay for 2 minutes and 25 seconds. I am convinced that I have gained brown fat because yesterday I rode an e-bike wearing only shorts and a t-shirt for about 1 hour and 15 minutes on snowy terrain and forest trails up and down a ski slope for a total of 6.8 miles/11 kilometers (-3°C/26.6°F) and didn't feel cold except in my upper thighs towards the end. About a week ago, I walked for over an hour in -11°C/12.2°F weather wearing only shorts and a t-shirt, and it also didn't feel extremely cold. However, I am monitoring my skin and pulse just in case I get frostbite or accidentally slip into hypothermia. I have noticed that my core body temperature has permanently dropped by over 0.5°C/0.9°F, which is now around 34.7°C/94.5°F - 35°C/95°F. Blood tests show that my hemoglobin is also the highest it has ever been because cold exposure also raises it. This is truly rewarding, and there are so many health benefits, including: Improved circulation Increased metabolism Reduced inflammation Improved sleep quality Strengthened immune system Increased amount of brown adipose tissue Reduced body fat percentage Improved mood Increased focus Improved stress tolerance Improved muscle function Reduced pain Reduced muscle fatigue Improved wound healing Improved cognitive performance Improved insulin sensitivity Improved heart health Reduced blood pressure Reduced blood sugar Reduced risk of obesity Improved hormone function Improved tissue oxygenation Reduced risk of skin conditions Improved digestion Improved cholesterol levels Reduced risk of obesity Improved sexual health Reduced risk of depression Reduced risk of anxiety Improved lung function If you're still reading this and want to follow my progress and possibly get some inspiration or ask me anything related to this, my Instagram is @ironfacemusic, where I post daily updates on cold exposure.

Going on 1 year now taking cold showers. I've missed a day here and there when traveling, but I always get back into it. Here's the thing: I've NEVER gotten used to it. I still look for reasons to avoid or delay it, but catch myself and do it anyway. And I love it when I'm done. The fact that I don't acclimatize tells me its creating new neural pathways and jolting my immune system in a good way. It feels like the body's innate wisdom is balancing out whatever conscious thinking I'm doing, which in my opinion is nothing more than the ego, and which has never served me well in the long run. I'm 73, and never get sick anymore.

"Comfort is killing us" is so true. The biggest gains in my fitness have come through things like cold showers and various types of fasting. Being a little uncomfortable now and then can be a very positive thing, and this needs to be taught more.

I'm 70 years old and began taking 4 min cold showers 1 year 2 months ago, only missed 2 days. Definite game changer for me, I feel so good when I get out. Aside from the mood boost, it has trained me to not label discomfort as "bad" but just accept it as a sensation. This is useful in every aspect of my life. That and hitting the gym 6 days a week and a relatively healthy diet (always room to tighten up) has kept me healthy. I look at "old people"shuffling around in the supermarket and it's startling to realize some of them are probably younger than me.

Taking a cold shower here in Canada is definitely a different story than taking it in a warmer country, after 2 minutes I'm not cold anymore because my body is completely frozen and I can't feel anything anymore!

I used to hate the winter and the cold, and found that it made my MECFS much worse and made me hibernate. Then I got fed up with being so afraid of winter and became fascinated by the idea of cold water therapy. I tried cold showers indoors and hated them, then one day while washing off my muddy dog in the garden on a cold wet day I turned the garden hose on me and the shock changed something in me. From then on I started to have hosepipe showers every day building up to five minute showers over a month. This was just before the first lockdown, and shortly afterwards started year round cold water swimming as well. I now have a dipping/recovery pod in the garden that freezes over in the winter. The combination of being outside in cold water is magical, whether in ‘wild’ water or in the garden, it is very freeing and connecting. For those who find an indoor cold shower difficult i recommend outdoor showers or dips, preferably naked if possible. The idea is never comfortable but pushing through this is always worth it. I have never regretted my daily dip or swim but I have regretted the rare days I’ve missed and even got up in the middle of the night to have that missed dip. I now love all seasons and I have more connection with and control over my ME symptoms. I am more active and more accepting of me and whatever is going on in my life.

In one week I’m 68 and within the last two months I decided to try a cool shower,I don’t start out cold but after washing my hair with warm water I turn off the heat and turn up the cold,as cold as I can stand it and it’s never felt better! Very invigorating and I always feel great afterwards!

8 months ago I started taking a cold bath (no ice just cold water) once a week after my long run. I started at 30 seconds & have now built up to 9 minutes. I find it amazing for recovery. I used to experience quite a lot of joint pain post long runs but the cold bath has significantly reduced that. It isn’t easy to start with but it’s surprising how much your tolerance of the cold can increase week to week. You don’t need to fill a bath with ice or get a fancy cold plunge tub to feel the benefits.

It’s great to hear you talk about the benefits of cold showers and cold exposure. Based on my long-term experience with cold showers, I’m a strong believer in thermogenesis. I’m 59 years old, and when I was 21, a former college professor suggested that I cold showers to prevent my frequent sinus and flu infections. I gave it a try and started with alternating hot and cold showers, gradually increasing the cold exposure. After that, I never took a hot bath or shower again. It’s been almost forty years and I rarely get sick or have any health problems. I have more energy and focus, clearer and softer skin, and very few injuries from sports activities. Try it yourself; you won’t regret it.

These are two of the most likable humans I've watched in an interview format.

My Grandfather told me to take cold showers 86 years ago. He also helped pass the "pure food' law in the Boston/Cambridge area so he knew a few secrets.

I have been swimming in the sea throughout the winter for many years. Usually, I am very sensitive to cold, but it is a different feeling if you dive through the waves. Your body goes into an exhilarating state. It is energizing.

I only discovered Dr. Chatterjee's channel a week ago. Being American, I was unfamiliar with him. I respect his combination of holistic medical expertise, empathy, and humanity. Some medical doctors are good scientists but lack the humanism required to be great practitioners of medicine. Any patient would be delighted to have a physician with Dr. Chatterjee's knowledge and care.

I worked on a concrete floor for 10 years wearing the wrong type of shoes....standing in one place for hours some days....The pain in my back n hips was excruciating and would not leave me.....Could hardly get up after sitting down at times....I started plunging in my bathtub not really expecting much......Oh man Oh man there is a God......Within a week or so I could feel a significant decrease in my pain.....my moods have stabilized and my mindset has become stronger....I will be plunging for many years to come.......
