By doing this we can avoid the kind of panic that kills . Such as drowning .
Unless you don't know how to swim
@@yaileenmaldonadomendez6382 you learn while you are mid drowning
@@anomalydk6878 Except if you don't and then you drown lol
@@yaileenmaldonadomendez6382 usually when you drown it’s because you’re panicking if you can stay calm at least a bit you’ll probably figure it out
@@jrwar12 that's interesting! Didn't know that!
Finally an explanation of the benefits that makes sense.
The realisation of what he just said, gave me adrenaline.
bro unlocked ultra instinct
Great info. Now as I am older (60) I find sometimes I have a hard time calming myself down to go to sleep, which tells me, maybe I haven't had enough of an adrenalin dump. Need to start thinking about and working some of these concepts and behaviors into my life plan (LOL)
If you do 15 minutes of breathing exercises like wim hoff’s it’ll help you out well. Cold plunges can be a bit sharp so I’d suggest starting with cold showers. It could also be that your cortisol levels are elevated prior to sleep and this could also be a lack of melatonin production which can be blue light from screens, I’d suggest to regulate the cortisol to have some fat prior to sleeping along with healthy carbs if you’re not on a strict diet

Before bed, take a hot shower as the change in body temp makes it easier to fall asleep.
For a lot of people asking and sharing their takes on this, I'll offer my experience. I was always the kid in early school who would get weak in the knees for an oral presentation. But I also was the kid to wait for the bus in 3 feet of snow and a T-shirt/shorts. My last name is Winters, so I kind of adopted the "Cold is nothing to me" mentality. At a certain point I opened up and eventually found that I could play an improvised guitar solo in front of crowds of 3,000+, which blew my mind at the time. I still can't bring myself to sing in front of my own mother, but I wonder if this tolerance phenomenon applies to how weirdly easy it was to perform in MY way.
Dam, I'll start wearing a thinner jacket (i am decently tolerable to the cold already). I cold shower twice a day too!
You’re in you’re own way.
Cold showers are a learned behavior that I now use whether with or without hot showers 🚿
77 yr old female - water aerobics 5x weekly. Still I struggle to stay afloat mentally physically spiritually.
Thank you my friend 🤜🤛💞🌹🙏
You are right on, thank you for this info, excellent!!
I definitely feel this. I had my shit ENTIRELY SO MUCH BETTER when I was working iut ti the point where I would get an adrenaline rush at least 6 times per week.
I'm a fucking lard now & I still get shit done & seem in control on paper, but fuuck it is not the same. There's no flow. There's constant tiredness. There's constant of avoidance of what's good for me & of my responsibilities.
Omg it’s like you’re describing me to a T
Start working out again. It's so good for you. You know it! Do it; you will not regret it. And you can. You did before.
@@bethanyjolee Yeah, absolutely. @Commander Waddles Why in the world would you become a "fucking lard"? After experiencing the magnificent benefits of exercise almost every day? Unless it was nondeliberate, due to injury or some qualifying emergency, I cannot imagine why you would revert to such a miserable lifestyle. Movement is medicine.
I don’t know if this is correct or not as I haven’t done enough quality research but I’m pretty sure you can build a unhealthy tolerance to adrenaline if you activate enough times in a week. All I’ve seen on the internet is that you should probably do it 2-3 times at most per week as there are some downsides for doing it too much for too long. Let me know if you find out anything else. I want to know how to get the benefits without feeling the downsides in the long term
I was in but now I’m IN 💥
Oh I understand now ....thank you !!!☝️
Learning not to panic! I can definitely relate to that being i've put myself in some not so "sane" so it'll take quite a bit to rattle me to the point where logical thinking is gone. Thank you for posting and reaffirming my thoughts and actions.
I have found I act very calmly and confidently in dangerous situations and then all the worry and confusion comes afterwards when the situation is over... for example: fights breaking out, losing control of cars at high speed, falling from heights or at bad angles. People tend to find it unnerving if they witness how I act in these situations and I've always just put it down to me being a bit odd but maybe it is something else..
Through my childhood being abused, I was honestly going to attempt to murder my family many times.
I had seizures from the intense hatred wanting to kill them all night and day while they illegally kept me out of schools, would physically attack me and the police were called many times and agreed it was illegal and said they didn't care.
In moments where I felt like I was about to lose it, I recognized by accident that freezing cold showers would calm me down a lot, I would be shivering and my heart would race and distract me from my emotions and even making me feel more uplifted, calm and refreshed that it helped me overcome bad temptations.
I haven't seen them in years and never will again since they made me homeless and made my life very difficult to live, but I don't have those kinds of emotions anymore and it wasn't just a childhood phase. I had logical reasons that you may have actually thought of the same if you saw the other countless illegal things they did to all my siblings for years and still got away with it.
That is good that you got away from them.
I think this is what’s good about rugby for boys helps learn to control stressful situations in a controlled environment
This is also good if ur a noobie or advanced in fighting & get to anxious before a fight
I’ve had a great deal of trauma in my life, beginning when I was not quite 3 years old. I have been diagnosed with CPTSD, and done a couple of years of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. What I learned was exactly how to deal with unexpected and unwanted adrenaline activation. How to isolate a trigger, feel the adrenaline, & let it go. It takes training, and for me, it’s lifelong training.
This also reminds me of something I learned in a self-defense class. It works with life. Expect to get hurt. Everyone does, and realizing that has made me able to be more prepared in crises than a lot of people I know. In fact, it’s shown up in a few employee evaluations where I’ve worked.
I would love to discuss anxiety with you. More specifically anxiety being reined in and repurposed as a social advantage instead of impairment.
Very good song choice.
I couldn't hear it at first😂 it's nice for once that a video has the music really low in the back
After dark by Mr. Kitty
Beautiful.
Ever since I was a kid I always thought telekinesis was real and would always attempt it almost daily until one morning while sitting in the kitchen eating a bowl of cereal before Jr high school I was able to move a stainless spoon across the table around a foot give or take a couple inches. Unfortunately my twin brother and mom didn't see it and I wish they'd seen it so people wouldn't call me crazy. It was the weirdest experience I've had in my 35 years alive and I have not been able to do it since and as I've gotten older I've lost much of the interest from childhood but I've always wondered what part of my brain I was able to tap into that morning to allow for it to happen and tried for years following. Nobody can tell me telekinesis isn't real as I'm 1 million percent convinced it's real as I know with all my my heart and mind what happened it's just a shame I wasn't able to master the skill and change the world...or become a superhero or villain..lol but for real though
I’m glad I’m not the only one this has ever happened to. As a teen I was able to do the same but now as an adult I try so hard but cannot but I still have a lot of other stuff happen I can’t explain like I have very good intuition (scary good intuition) on a daily basis. There is a-lot more but I can really explain it to well through text. I wish I had some one or something to help guide me or at least steer me in the right direction so I can learn more of what is going on and maybe possibly help people out with said ability.
I too am mentally unwell
That is amazing. I think this happens more as you're younger because kids aren't conditioned to set limitations on what they can do.
@@megans.6159 I think it happens because when you’re younger your mind is so active that you are literally often times in a state of psychosis. There’s research on it that I cannot cite personally, but can be found relatively easily.
@@tedseb7726 lol
So I shower cold and I hyperventilate, to be fair I don’t fear a lot of things but when I went sky diving for the first time I was so calm could this be a reason why?
ur suppose to try to stay calm during the shower
I have been doing cold showers since I've started to go the gym and each time I'm like "why tf are you doing this to yourself, the water is cold asf"
But when you turn on the tap and you are freezing in the cold water that's when you realise you made the right choice
Cap
It’s a different but an amazing kind of success and discipline 👌🏻
Norwegian custom sauna then snowbank very healthy
I will do a cold shower in a few minutes. It takes me like 30 min to do a shower like that.
Also...
Here is a free pizza 🍕
I start with hot water just to wet my body and open pours, then take a deep breath and go down to 0
tnx for the digital pizza
@@armandoh9766 samee
So solve a rubik's cube while doing an icebath, got it!
You can also do this with stimulants.
I take a warm shower and rinse and rinse again in cold water before I get out. Every shower for years, nice to learn the effects
No wonder why I'm calmer than most of my friends those cold showers finally showed some results 😂
I used to have pretty crippling anxiety, I still have some anxiety now but it's pretty manageable. Most of the time when I was having anxiety I wasn't really thinking about social situations, I was thinking about potential life or death situations. All the way from I'm choking and there's no one around to a full-on apocalypse scenario. I would get extremely wrapped up and worked up in these thoughts to the extent that I would be just sitting there sweating and really thinking about what I would do in these situations how would I help the people I love and how would I help myself and how would I survive and ensure others survive. I have found that my brain truly reaches its full potential in life or death situations, oddly it's really only those times that I feel calm, collected, and in control. I'm not usually a leader, but during a crisis I know what to do and I tell people what to do and they just listen.
While anxiety is extremely unpleasant, I'm somewhat grateful to have had to go through that because I feel like had I not I would not have been able to handle some situations very well and potentially people could have died.
I had a panic attack about 2 weeks ago and the ONLY thing that calmed me down was repeatedly throwing cold water in my face
Good to know I had no one dear it helps you deal with stress
When he said it was about control, it made sense why I seem to prefer ice baths over cold showers. It’s that perception of control. Like the way i imagine the shower isn’t contril
Yes the idea of soldier who gets shot and thinks it's going to be great it's my ticket home to my wife and family! Versus soldier who is shot and it in his mind is all negative outcomes would likely have very different outcomes to the same injury.
I want to be a firefighter in the future and this will definitely be practiced
For me skydiving did the job perfectly, no need for cold showers
Can you pin the original link for the full episodes in these shorts.
That'll be very helpful.
Thanks.
I just started the cold showers & the WHM method of breathing. No effect yet. But we shall see. I suffer from a rare disease: Dysautonomia so I am always trying new stuff to see what may or may not work
Adrenaline (and cortisol) also turns off the re-growth and repair mechanism - so be careful when activating it.
Facts
Interesting 🤔 I should try this
Thank you Dr Huberman for this amazing information that is new to me.
There's no adrenaline for horror. 👊💯
Suggest some books for me to read about self control please
United States needs to legalize Theraputically Recreational opiates. This would help the homeless drug user to not feel targeted as a criminal and seek a community. This also would help a user find a community and not feel like a criminal either.
Second, I believe that the minimum wage should be risen to $25/hour. This would help those with drug addiction pay for their habit while also being able to pay for their basic needs and also keep up with their taxes. This would help with the influx of the risen minimum wage and would essentially pay for itself. Less people on the street. More people paying for basic needs and things they can afford. No more people feeling left behind and lost. More taxes being payed.
Yes the argument would be that this causes inflation but we as Americans have always persevered. Perseverance is our friend and we are warriors. Americans are good people with good intentions. This would help. I know it would and I strongly believe this. ❤️🔥❤️🔥
I’ve been having showers in the coldest setting for years and years. I can’t do even lukewarm water, makes me feel too uncomfortable, way too sweaty and it’s shit for my skin. Once you do it everyday for a week you get used to it. Sometimes I stay somewhere other than home I struggle having a shower because the coldest setting isn’t freezing enough lol
This sounds like it can be helpful for fighters or people who go into competitive sport white nerves are high.
Weirdly, after taking cold showers for 2 weeks, I've found myself getting more aggressive. Could this be linked to a boost in testosterone? Or am I simply building my ability to 'not be pushed around' anymore?
Lol 😂 it’s very similar to wim hof 👌🏻 love it
Oooo i really like this
❤❤❤
Who is he? He seems like an intelligent man, I need to view his podcasts.
Dr Andrew Huberman, his podcast is called Huberman Lab
@@lando2519 Thank you
Except it also causes adrenal fatigue, which his horrible for aging, digestion, sleep etc
❤❤
Interesting idea. I wonder however, if the surges in adrenaline are similar when comparing a car crash and taking a cold shower, because the former has a "fear of death" attached to it, whereas our brains are likely telling us that we won't die from a cold shower.
Try an ice bath or even better - go into a lake in winter... Your knowledge that you will make it is irrelevant, once you hit the water, your body thinks youre dying.
@@DarkHound9999true, but in a crash your mind is also aware you could die
@@coryagami6391 yes, but you dont confront it voluntarily. Thats the key difference here. When you go to the lake, your biology screams "death ahead", but you overcome the fight/flight impulse with your mind and then you reemerge victiorious which is where all the positive mental benefits stem from.
The music in the background is After Dark by Mr. Kitty
My car crashes taught me how important staying calm and alert is
I take this thought pattern and apply it with all emotions…meditate
Ancient Assyrians would wake up and straight away dip themselves 7 times in the cold river, and then being morning ancestral prayers.
I do this with chess. I know how it sounds lol but it triggers a fight response for me
Are you telling me that if I purposely did one of these practices that the adrenaline will not create a massive panic attack? Typically my body releases adrenaline which creates that anxiety. I do not want to create a panic attack.
My brain exploded.
Soooo goood
Stress threshold
Stresshold
me sitting here with a panic attack just chillin lol
That’s good
i kinda trained myself already to like chill / cold weather.. in controlled amounts, duh. and yes, with adrenaline in mind.
Ok that’s explains why I love cold water exposure. I’m an adrenaline junkie 😅🤣
I can be excited over something good and the adrenaline is the same as when I'm jacked up with stress horrible)so I tried not to get too excited am I doing something wrong?
After I've seen this I came to the conclusion that I dont need cold baths, since I anyways put myself into stressful conditions on purpose at job or school with my superiors cuz I don't like rules
does cold weather also has somehow the same effect with ice bath?
The Word…The Fruit…
I assume that is why navy seals train in freezing water at BUDS
Cold showers for me
Does it plateau when you get used to it? I assume it’s a cold shower for most people and not an ice bath.
Last time I remembered there was no study indicating that cold shower can release adrenaline or it might be helpful in any other way
That is how one can train your body to withstand adrenaline and know how to react to certain things and events that you are now capable of handling
Whatever you do don’t get into an ice bath if you’ve been drinking alcohol. Hypothermia sets in quicker because alcohol thins your blood.
to you vs intentionally by you.
As an aside, this is great advice for angry people. This is how you reach a state of equilibrium, without sacrificing it.
Can you explain that more I have a son that deals with anger.
@@debbiewilder4738 think of it like the difference between a bomb, and a cannon. Is he just going off, or is there something else there? Is he directing it somewhere?
I had anger issues too, but I kept that private. I vented on my own. But, I also had somewhere that was, if not acceptable, was justifiable to direct my anger. Luckily, I realized I could use those feelings. It was empowering. If I failed, that'd drive me to succeed. Win. Achieve something. Do something I can take pride in.
I've always described it like a limitless fuelsource. If you keep it under control, your willpower doesn't run out.
I was very introspective at that age, though. I also had good reasons to be that angry. Your kid might not. It could just be how they're wired, or how they were conditioned. It could be lack of discipline.
But for perpetually angry people like me? We don't have to 'live' with it. We can use it to change things for the better. It's a part of me I wouldn't give up.
What do you suggest for people who cannot spike their adrenaline without causing issues? Cold bath/shower are not an option for medical reasons.
Check out wim hoff, do his breathing exercises. It will do the job just well
@@maskedraiderz8858 I'm already familiar with him. That isn't a good option either.
Looking for something that relatively medically fragile people can do.
@@chrisP989 what’s the condition?
@@maskedraiderz8858 something rare I'm guessing you'd never have heard of but there's more than one diagnosis going on. Some caused some brain issues presumably a mini stroke that went unchecked. The breathing exercises can be too difficult with asthma but strengthening the lungs is important so I've done various cardios over the years. I have an issue with temperature regulation and having to be warm is key.
Ok…I just tried a cold shower. I was in there for 2 minutes. It did get easier every second that went by. However. At first it created that hyper breathing automatically. Couldn’t that be the reason for the reaction and not so much the cold water?? Just wondering
So a cold shower or ice bath can get you a higher stress threshold for the day?
Dude I have an adrenaline mutation
I constantly produce adrenaline I also have a lactic acid deficiency and a few other things (nothing really life threatening)
Maybe except for my symbiotic relationship with Lucas cytokinesis
If i don't have any allergy pills a bug bit or kind bad zit will quickly swell and become a cyst and it sucks
But I heal incredibly quickly
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Doing any sort of breathing exercise to help calm me down will only make me more pissed off.
Attaboy!
How does this effect someone with ADHD?

Call me when we have an adrenaline boosts that doesn’t require pain or for my body to go into shock mode
So ur talking about purposefully doing activities that cause an increase in adrenaline. I have a question that has been brought on by this short. I had been thinking about it recently and kinda sorta only just realized that it may be true. The feeling I get from doing things like cold exposure and extreme heights (I'm afraid of heights btw) that I asse to be adrenaline rushing thru my body, I can activate it consciously without doing or thinking of anything. I don't have to do the activities or even think of them that normally cause adrenaline production. My control over this is very limited but I have been able to do it b4.
Can u explain this and discuss with me wat is going on and how it cud be beneficial or not?
Is there such thing as too much adrenaline overtime causing neurological distress??
Driving at 300km/h just for that adrenaline.
Cold showers make you stronger in life
What’s his name?
This guy is fammiliar, i met him in Skyrim.
Maybe so. But I will not be taking cold showers or ice baths. Unless it’s over 100 degrees in the house.
how about playing dangerous games cause i like that more than cold showers .
Would skydiving create the same level of adrenaline release?
