I'm not sure if I had read this before on Readup, or another mid-sized article about Hof, but this was a blast to read!
I've tried consistent cold showering years ago, and will hop in cold water when convenient opportunities present themselves. Mostly when visiting sea/lakeside saunas in Finland (it's a common thing here). Without a sauna nearby, I've only dipped under slight peer pressure.
Cold water exposure does have immediate positive effects. But starting is so unappealing, that I haven't been sticking to this.
The article is glowingly positive across the board. I'm a little allergic to improvised counterculture rambling and messiah vibes, as well as organisations monetizing this. It's the only thing that irks a bit. Still, I admire the simplicity and actionability of the Hof's message, and his openness and persistence.
“We have to change our beliefs about what’s possible for the human body,” Hof explains. “You are your own doctor. You’ve got your own power. And because people think that’s hippie bullshit, that’s why I go through science.”
Wow, kind of article, Icy story of the Iceman will make you freezzy!! How one moment changed his life, he discovered the methods, taught & trained people. Let's understand your body's response to the cold water :0
You are your own doctor. You’ve got your own power.
When practicing this method, we can control his own body temperature, nervous system, and immune response.

Did three cold plunges since reading this article.
I think I only did 1 cold shower. Peer pressure coming on!
Great article. Great comment.
