What if the thing you’re avoiding this winter — the cold — is actually one of the most powerful tools for metabolic health, hormones, mood, and resilience?

In this episode, I break down the real science behind cold exposure, cold plunges, cold showers, and even just spending a few minutes outside underdressed — and why this free, primal, highly underrated tool can radically improve your energy, metabolism, and stress response.

You’ll learn:

• How cold exposure activates brown fat to boost calorie burn
• Why cold therapy spikes dopamine + norepinephrine by up to 250%
• How cold acts as a hormetic stressor, strengthening your nervous system and lowering baseline cortisol
• The safest, easiest ways to start cold exposure — from cold showers to cold walks to at-home plunges
• Who should start slow (thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue) and how to do it safely

If you want better energy, sharper focus, stronger metabolism, and deeper resilience — the cold might be your new best friend.
