"Deliberate cold exposure can increase brown fat stores, these mitochondrial dense fat stores that can, in turn, allow a person to feel more comfortable in cold temperatures, water, or otherwise, and increase core metabolism."
Dr. Andrew Huberman
"Regular deliberate cold exposure, if done correctly, can in fact increase immune system markers and perhaps even make you much more robust to combating different types of infection through the release of adrenaline."
Dr. Andrew Huberman
"Deliberate cold exposure and deliberate heat exposure can be used to enhance human metabolism."

Dr. Andrew Huberman
"Ending on cold...forces your body to heat up by itself, and that's going to make your brown fat cells and muscle cells more efficient."
Dr. Andrew Huberman
"Deliberate cold exposure can induce dramatic positive shifts in mood, alertness, and focus."
Dr. Andrew Huberman
"Deliberate cold exposure can be achieved by getting into a cold shower for one to five minutes... greatly increases epinephrine levels and dopamine levels in the brain and blood."

"Every time people succeed going into the cold water and going out again, it's a win."
"Winter swimmers who were swimming two to three times per week had more activation in the brown fat, better insulin sensitivity, and also better glucose balance in the blood."
"Deliberate cold exposure is a very potent tool because of the amplitude and the timing of adrenaline that it creates."
"It's all just about stimulating the body to make more heat. Exposing yourself to cold, you're going to rev up those Pathways."
"Even in humans who are not just healthy, if they were exposed to longer times of cold, they can increase metabolism and insulin sensitivity."
"Going outside at 19 degrees in a t-shirt will activate your brown fat as well. So, you can kind of play around with these temperatures."
"There isn't anyone that I have met yet that cannot experience some benefit from deliberate cold exposure."
"Regular exposure to cold water can increase brown fat efficiency, helping you generate more heat."
"...cold exposure is extremely beneficial and it's pretty easily accessible with something like cold showers..."
"Cold exposure is amazing for you and just leaves you feeling Epic."
"I love this Camp huge sea stack right there sea stacks all on the coast Creek running right down here which I just got a 2-minute cold Plunge in and woke me right back up."
