Jumpstart Your Brain with Ice Baths!

Harness the cold to unlock your fullest potential

You probably heard this from 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 fitness authority out there, but I SWEAR it works: 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀.🛀❄️

Every day I soak in an ice bath and it makes me feel invigorated, calm, and refreshed.

Cold prompts our adrenals to release norepinephrine, activating the brain’s energizing dopamine system. One study found a 530% increase in norepinephrine and a 250% increase in dopamine in subjects who got into 58-degree water up to their necks for just a few minutes.

Cold showers and ice baths are often used by athletes because not only do they ease sore muscles, but they decrease inflammation and can help you sleep better. 😴

Reduce anxiety, control your stress, and boost your energy

It reduces anxiety, boosts energy and immunity, improves mood, and fosters longevity.

You might not stand a cold soak for 10 minutes, so start by finishing your shower with a quick blast of cool water or drop some ice bags into your bath.🧊🧊🧊🧊
You can slowly increase your exposure to the cold in small steps every day. It’s not about frostbite 🥶 but exhilaration!
