Neuroscientist explains how going at cold showers the wrong way would not have you reach your goals (if they were fat loss), unless you do it right, and in this context the right way to do it is to induce "shivering" which is the catalyst for fat loss.
It should be noted that, there are many benefits of cold showers and you can maximize each of them by taking cold showers in a specific way, this way is only meant for fat loss.

A tip for people starting cold showers;
First expose your legs and arms to the cold water, inhale than exhale and immediately step into the cold shower and control your breathing and you’re good to go!
Ngl i start taking cold showers and when u stay in the cold shower for a while it kinda feels warm idk how but it gets comfortable
@@stolkn it’s all your blood being circulated throughout your body, because of how cold showers help with blood circulation
@GalaxyMagnate Hypo-hypothermia
cold water should be always pore on head first if it's hot water start from feet according to India 😉
@@avoidvaccination5452 kinda dumb but ok
non americans: 60 degrees? that's fucking hot
our 60F is about your 15C
@@Numantino312thank you.
Soooo truth
@@Numantino312that is the joke. He doesn't specify he's talking about degrees in fahrenheit, not celsius like the rest of the planet uses as reference 😂

I’m blown away with what your saying, I’ve been taking cold showers for 20 years now and never thought to do this….fantastic
20 Years!!!??? You must've been getting cold since you were a baby 🤣🍼
@@goofyahhhproductionstudios2568 I am also taking cold water bath from the age of 3 . now I am 21 .

@@-MotivationNOWyes
@@-MotivationNOWthe water doesn’t have to be near freezing
@@rinjel2890mine is just all the way coldest, i hate it but I love it
Let’s see you do that. You would probably be a psy and scream like a girl and leave
@686.nativethat'd actually genius because it primed your body to keep most of the blood flow towards your core before you started cooling it off.
Don't let this stop you I promise you if you keep your focus up you can control this it's more or so about pushing yourself hell even through life. I go everyday one time I was scared for my health it was snowing outside I watched some goggins and the shit he pushed through and it flicked a switch. I have now gone to the river for over a month and a half I'm more or so sad it's gonna get warmer and wish I started sooner because I wanna keep going. Think of the "what if" what if I push through this what if I can control my breathing and heart rate FOCUS meditate fix your mind and I promise life will get better.

David Goggings is my saviour
Bro is it ok to start with very ice cold water as a beginner and how much time will it take to our body to adapt and make it seem like it's summer
@@Best_FighterI’ve been doing it for about 2 months and it’s still a shock, but the shock lasts about 2 seconds and it starts to go unnoticed, I recommend going to the coldest setting, but make sure you don’t have any heart issues, because if you do, no matter if you’re adapted or not it can kill you, but if your heart is healthy it’s safe to jump in on the coldest setting :))
yea but you got that risk of f'ing your heart up
David goggins completed the entire seal training with a hole in his heart
Interesting...
Multiple times
If you stay calm and have the right headspace I’m sure you can keep yourself from getting any heart complications , I have a micro valve prolapse on my heart and I’m a triathlete!
birth defect. Don't worry about things out of your control, as the saying goes.
The ending is the most info needed and its cut off, we need to know why to get back in?.
Agree 😂
I took my first cold shower in years last night and was definitely experiencing some shock. My breathing became erratic and I could feel my heart wigging out. I powered through it and managed to go about ten more minutes in which I lowered the temp more and more every couple minutes. The first 30 seconds was longer than the last 8 minutes even though by the very end the water was so cold that the water at the beginning would have felt warm. Maybe I pushed it too hard too soon. I’ll consider myself lucky and ease into it next time
Yeah maybe too much all at once. Maybe try a slower approach. Our bodies need time to adapt
You should of got out in the first 3 mins
It’s also okay to do it for a minute or even 30 seconds at first. That way the body can adapt easier to the cold feeling
If it was super cold DO NOT DO THAT!! Only 2 minutes MAX.
@@bpetcjbro what, lowest I’ll go is like 10 minutes at 35°F
This just crossed my mind after decades. From the time I was born till I move to sunny Southern California early 60s. I was out in the cold in the winter walking to school, sledding, playing in the snow occasionally getting wet or snow inside my clothes and having to inside.
This was the natural version of this cold shock treatment.
That ain't shit
@@williamgrubbs9116 trust me that can be very true. I live in a country where we have had -44 degrees celsius (around 47.2F), which feels much colder than freezing water (0°C or 32F). I can't even imagine the people in Siberia lmao.
@@pelvismen5510Jesus Christ…
The best method for cold adaptation in my experience is to start with warm water for a bit then turn it in cold. After a while you will be able to resist the cold shock since your body adapts.
That’s a great way if you just want to try it but for people who want to actually improve their discipline then having it warm first is honestly pointless for them because that honestly defeats the purpose of your goal.
@@dylanjohns8409 Wrong
@@gmlogmdb how is it wrong 😂. You obviously want to train your discipline by doing these cold plunges, shower etc. but having warm first so you slowly ease in to it completely defeats the purpose because it shows that you’re not mentally strong enough to just jump into cold.
@@dylanjohns8409 Didn't you get the advice of the video that the method can give you a heart attack? So this is not about being the "Hero of Discipline" is about adapting your body to new stuffs in this case the cold shower.
@@juancechevarriacortes752 yeah, but the only reason you could give yourself a heart attack is if you just jump into freezing cold water that you’re not used too, which he said in that video. So you can still jump into cold water first but obviously at a temperature that you can handle. So what’s your point.
"and then get back in": hahaaa, nope!
This routine rivals waterboarding
😂
I stand in the warm water to wash my hair, once I'm done I immediately flip the switch to the coldest it can be and let every part of my body run under the water one by one for atleast a min
Same here. I yell “we go Gym” before I jump inside the shower.😅😂

"Two factors"
*holds up 3 fingers*
For depression I fill my tub everyday with water as cold as the faucet will allow then add 20 pounds of ice from the store. 5-10 min a day of that really gets you going! All the Love all the Power
How long have you been doing it? Has it helped? What else do you do for depression?
@@Futuresex100 I was severely depressed for 2+ years and the first Icebath I did I was smiling and giggling by the end. Been doing it for a long time now. It works so well and I never would have guessed. It takes you completely out of your head and into your body. Time seems to slow down. If you combine Wim Hof breathing with an Icebath daily and then do 30 min of exercise your depression will go down by I’d say 70%-100%. It releases all the chemicals you need naturally and it lasts all day.
All the love! 💪❤️
So is there actually differences with cold showers vs cold plunge?
@@HossBomags cold plunge is effectively way colder, you’re surrounded entirely by water and water takes heat form you way faster than air
Been doing this daily. Plus daily cold walks. I think I'm cold adapted now, coz I can walk 20 minutes in -35C and not shiver. My clothes aren't very thick.
HOLY good for u. I cant even walk in 50F weather without shivering
-35 degrees? That seems unlikely.
@@psilocypher in Canada that is normal. There is not bad weather, only bad gear and bad health. :p
@@psilocypher that's 35 °C. Ultimately, it's all about the wind and its direction.
What do you live in Antarctica?
Iive in northern england northumberland and i take a outdoor cold shower most days 12 months a yr for the last 30 yrs and i am never ill and i am extremely happy 😂👍
Cold showers both morning and night?
Controlling your breath during a cold shower is key. I usually do two nose inhales and exhale from the mouth once. It’s a good tempo for me.
I don't feel cold shower anymore. Guess it's time to move to Antarctica
I feel you. I don’t shiver anymore. 😅
It depends how cold the tap water can go down in your area. I live in the Alps, and believe me, it's pretty cold in the winter ! 😅
Did a cold plunge yesterday they had two in the spa one at 12C the other 7C. Damn the 7C was so cold!! I have jumped in rivers in UK winter and this felt colder!
Holy shh lol
Im on day 4 and have taken 5 cold showers. I plan on doing it morning and afternoon from here on.
I started the first couple times with luke warm to comd for 1 minute then out.
Today i did warm 3 mins then cold 1 min for three times total then out on cold.
I put the shower head on my upper back only, not neck and head. I stay still and focus on breathing. Next ill work on being able to move the water around my body but i dread that thinking about it
It will get easier just don’t give up!
Tip: Just start with your wrists and ankles so your body won’t be shocked as easily and you yourself will know if you can handle that temperature.
If you're Muslim: do wudhu with the cold water first, not only is it sunnah, but will ensure you won't get a cold shock!
I already do idk why but it feels better
sunnah is actually using warm water
@@TheIraqiforce I'm talking about sunnah of wudhu whether hot or cold. Of course if it's cold or winter one would use warm. But if using cold then doing wudhu helps.
@@ObaidahNaseer I don't understand your point, it's recommended according to hadith to do wudu with warm water, I don't understand where you and the speaforth guy came up with cold water being sunnah, where do you think they would get cold water from the desert mate
@@TheIraqiforce That my other account, I didn't realise.
I'm only taking about the sunnah of doing wudhu before ghusl:
Narrated `Aisha:
"Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) took a bath after Janaba (major impurity) he started by washing his hands and then performed ablution like that for the prayer. After that he would put his fingers in water and move the roots of his hair with them, and then pour three handfuls of water over his head and then pour water all over his body."
[Narrated by Sahih al-Bukhari 248.]
In the desert, it can actually get cold such as at night or during cooler months. Because deserts rarely have clouds and are very dry, heat is not really retained.
Living in the north doing sauna and ice baths twice a week as normal people do so ... then there is no problem... Everybody is getting adapted. Do your Sauna with an ice bath and don't do an ego trip. That is the problem!
So not icy cold, just cold enough to go brrr. I was doing it the shock way, like turning the heat down and jumping in 😅
Damn same I would do hot and cold at same time
@@zaheenman weak
@@hercules_144So sigma bro💀
I like the Wim Hof method of doing. 3 rounds of 50 breaths beforehand. Causing my body to heat up and vibrate very intensely. Then I am able to stop shivering , after about 2 minutes of the cold water exposure , sometimes less . You have to expose head to toe to get used to the cold water. And doing the breathing exercises
agreed about head exposure:
most people in the pictures have their heads out of the water with dry hair. while keeping cold water from shower out of my ears, still directing cold water to my head at least at the beginning.
i do this for both health, and emergency prepping.
in late winter/early spring (north dakota), roads are at their slickest, and roadside ditches fill with cold snowmelt several feet deep. so i do this to give self a chance if car ends up sliding off road.
Just make sure there is another responsible adult in case you pass out from this style of breathing. There are a few instances of inadvertent drowning in the cold plunge while doing the WH method.
Why get out for 1-3 mins then Get back in?
Cause you’ll die
Tip: Build your way up to the cold you don’t jump into the freezing ass water you make it cold and once you’re comfortable go colder and colder til you can’t bear it take them during the morning to wake up fully
Try taking a plunge in the mountains; you underestimate how COLD water can get.
exactly, I'm from appalachian mountains of western north carolina. We'd take field trips to Pisgah national forest and that mountain river water was absolutely freezing. We'd leave almost entirely numb lol.
@@vknight7497 hahaha I go hiking down that way. I’m in the middle of the state. That water will put you into shock.
Yes the water moving over your body doesn’t allow a thermal layer to build up around you like in a bath. When I’m in a bath I hold an ice bladder against my chest and move around a bit to prevent thermal layer.
@@Tbonetake thats incredibly smart! Thanks for the tidbit of info ill keep that in mind next time I go hiking.
Sauna and then a full bucket of cold water after 10-15min inside.. Feels amazing when the bodyparts remember feeling cold, i wouldn't do it today, it has been too long since and my muscles has forgotten the experince.
I do 30 seconds 15°C then 49°C 15X
Thanks for the advice! Very helpful
if anyone knows any reason/s why this is actually harmful or not helpful etc then please enlighten me - i’m not a scientist or anything close; but my process is in the morning i get into the shower on the coldest setting, control my breath with the wim hof method, stand under it for 30 seconds then turn the water onto warm, appreciate the warm water 1000x more, wash myself like normal with the warm water, then turn it back onto the coldest setting and the second time i don’t even feel it, and i can stay under it for as long as i want. end on cold and then get out. try it out it’s truly amazing. ❤️🙏
Only problem ive got is that my shower doesnt get colder than 19 degrees celcius which is 66 degrees for the Americans
Same
I had the same problem and what i did is i bought a barrel which costs me 40 dollars and a few cheap plastic containers that I filled with tap water and then put it into the freezer for approx. 24 hours
Thats it problem solved
Can someone explain then why everyone is plunging in a tub full of ice, that is ice cold as he says, and not talking about risk of having a heart attack, because they’re not slowly adjusting to it, they’re jumping straight into it
Advise from nothing more than personal experience: I pin my arms up against the wall of the shower head and push my feet into the ground staggered, the bracing helps me with shivering and just focus on breathing. Deep nasal breathing into your stomach/diaphragm help, or the double inhale and 1 exhale. Helped me! Happy cold showering everyone!
2 years ago i tried taking cold shower after just getting up from a warm bed . and i felt like a heart attack my heart hurted since then decided to stop it . however this is a good tip !!
ive jumped in to the cold pool in the middle of winter, i can tell you the shock is crazy, it was hard for me to hold my breathe. I learn if you are walking into the cold pool or bath breathe out as you go in
if you have a heart attack while in front of a hospital you will likely survive.
I’ve been doing cold plunges for a while I use a freezer at the back of my house I set it to about -6c
I shower then go outside in winter wet at 10 degrees or whatever the temp is. Bit brisk but works an needed step up as im almost on a year of this now.
Ok, so he is yalking about fat loss. I am doing 1min cold shower more to get mentaly healthy and getting out of comfort zone. I am not worried about burning fat, i have great diet and workout plan. I just added cold showers and brrathing exercises/meditation to get better focus onmy goals and easier deal with problems :) yet... i will try it, at some point ❤
Don’t worry. I went straight into the ice the first time. Still alive. Start with Wim Hoff breathwork first a few weeks. It helps.
As an English person, those temperatures sound like they would burn you rather than be considered cold (I know he is talking in Fahrenheit)
I dont do temperatures like a bit of hot and cold water i turn the hot water off completely and have the cold water on im 15 but anyone can do it i take the shower head off and put parts of my body into the cold then eventually my back and stomach which is the hardest part and if u shiver take deep breaths but it feels amazing its euphoric
What's this about getting back in for a second round??
Warm showers are necessary for getting clean.
Once I learned that guided box breathing makes coke water easier, there was no turning back. And when it’s the time of year when the cold makes me want to get out, imagining the pain from the Feb cold water is actually heat, and Imaging myself in a hot place, it calms my mind down. Same thing with ice baths. It’s all about controlling your breath and that’s how I do it. Progressive box breathing. 5 min on 3 by 3, then 4 by 4 and then 5 by 5. There are many breathing techniques that can be ituilized and after : years of cikd water, box breathing has worked the best for me
What is box breathing?
I swim in 46°F water for 33 minutes today. I don’t shiver when I’m in the water. It starts about 10 minutes after I get out. Why am I not shivering?
I can do less then -4 Celsius
I’ve been doing cold showers for over a year and haven’t took a hot shower over a year and I’m also doing cold plunges so yeah
I absolutely enjoy colder showers. I would have to feel extremely cold in the winter for me to turn the shower on hot enough to where you see steam - this happens maybe twice a year.
With that said I would never do what was explained here, lol. I would be too cold 😅
What episode of Andrew Huberman’s podcast is this?
I don't believe it would ever hurt your heart unless you have a problem.
Do you advise me to start gradually?
Since learning about the health benefits, I've started taking cold showers. It used to be difficult for me to breathe when I entered the water because of how chilly it was. I'm still curious as to why that was or is. When I take showers, the water isn't too cold (usually around 60-55°). I've gotten used to it to the point where I can almost comfortably take colder showers. i still won’t go ice cold because then i’ll most likely go back into that shock state where it’s hard to breathe.
Start with the cold water on your feet and work your way up. This is the safest for your heart and most recommended by doctors.
No thinking just doing 😊
I believe everything is mental , so I got in from room temp water to the coldest option & it was super cold but handled it because my mentality is really strong thkgd ❤
If you are having an heatstroke and get in a cold shower is there a possibility of a heart attack?
I have heart issues, severe mental issues, and breathing chest pains, I went in for the first time, started off warm and slowly slowly reached ice cold, mind you it’s winter and the water pipes are freezing. I truly felt like a Viking after I came out.
Haha Viking 😂 well said
I started with really cold water right away. Everyday by the way. I was experiencing shocks just the first 2-3 weeks.
I go back first then rotate slowly so i can get every part of my body
For me grate start is to take a normal shover with water that is cold but not ice cold. Then when I am done with shampoo i start lovering the temperature until i get to the limit. So this metod is all about improving your starting temperature. My own experience shows that it is grate for beginners. It is probably got for people with hearth problems, but i am not the one with that kind of knowledge since i don't have that kind of problems and i ain't a doctor.
Which episode is this from ?
If you are less adaptable first step in the normal temperature and then slightly start to increase coldness every 20 seconds and keep breathing deep. It that way your body will adapt easier to cold water. For some people it can be dangerous to just jump in the ice cold water
How are y’all measuring the coldness of a shower?
where i live its normal temperature is 10 degree Celsius or less so taking cold shower in that temp is enough for once and get dried
I've always had poor circulation, and because of that, any time I get cold i have severe pain and then my extremities quickly go numb. I've NEVER been able to tolerate the cold.
Thats why you go SLOWLY into ice cold water. Than you don't get shocked
I start warm then by the end it’s completely cold love it
Contrast showers are insane I love them
The best 🎉
Wait, why back into the cold? What is the specific benefit of this?
The water usually isnt any colder than freezing temperateure, thanks
Can I take a cold shower before I work out and take a hot shower before I go to work? I know not to take a cold shower post work out. Need to be cleaned up for work.
Shout-out to Wim Hoff! He's been doing cold tolerance for decades.
I go in with my back and legs then go from side to side so it hits my arms, then chest, then head
Honestly I just developed the mindset of just being like f*** it when I sit there and I doubt myself I just stop and I go f*** it and I just get in The times when you don't want to do it are when you should do it the most
I turn it on max.
I just cold shower for a continuous 2 minutes, get out, dry off, and that's it. I've never heard about getting in, getting out for a minute, and getting back in again. What's that about?
I was unaware that cold showers help with fat loss. This is the last thing I need in my life if that’s the case
There's just one problem I can't really check the temperature of the water
Just keep going that's the point "alot of dreams die while suffering" goggins said that and it keep me going back everyday

Day number 38 ish.. finally took my water temp as i can go to town an its nothing, Im in country on a well. 56 degrees... after bought 1 min I dont feel much of anythihng anymore. True story.
I got in a shower this morning and it was so cold that i had brain freeze. Is that normal?
When I stepped in, my breathing was heavy . How can i control that ? Any tips ? I just started 3 days ago. Im doing 2 minutes and increasing the minute per week
Spin around let it hit your top of neck
"Maybe start with 60 degrees"

Quick tip wet yourself with the cold to get an understanding of how it feels, rub soap on your wet parts scrub then suffer for as long as you can
I just use my shower tap not sure how cold it is but it does not make me shiver
Oh my gosh I don't know if I could do that
Dont worry I am Canadian... bub
+ How are cold showers or a so called polar bear plunge healthy? I LIKE THAT YOU SAY IT CAN CAUSE A PREMATURE HEART ATTACK.
Who else should or should not be doing this?
I read or heard the military did studies on this and it is not beneficial for the human body so what is correct?
I will listen to the rest of your video when I feel less cold.

Norwegians: Look what they need to mimic a FRACTION of our power!
Imagine getting a heart attack from a cold shower😂 ahh America
I do the coldest temperature. At the first I did the coldest, and I was COLD, after I got out I felt great but I kind of was numb.
I didn't know this could've gave me a heart attack lol.
It couldn’t possibly, he’s meaning ice water like in nature or an unbelievably cold ice plunge
Never knew this was a thing, i only take cold showers also on winter times people lookin at me like im goin to hell for it 😂
How does this help fat loss?
Start with your right foot, go up to the knee with cold water. Then the same with the left leg.
Then right leg again up to your hips. Same with left leg.
Then do your right arm, left arm. Then the rest of your body.
You start the furthest away from your heart to avoid heart attack.
You might also look up Sebastian Kneipp.
Why would anyone do such a thing just to stress their body?
what do you expect after putting ice cold water suddenly on your body?
Its will suddenly contrict your blood vessels(vasocontriction) and all the blood will move to heart all of the sudden. I have seen a similar case but that ended with *a end of a young life*
Hmm. Doubling up sounds fun I'm doing that next time
Do you speak Celsius?
