Started 3 minute cold showers about 3 weeks ago - the benefits iv found astonishingly real

I heard Huberman talking on Rogan about it the heard Huberman discussing with Susana Soberg - so I just decided one am to try it for a minute and the next day I did my three minutes and haven’t stopped since
- I’ve never felt such a consistent burst of energy - and it seems to last several hours just as he described
- not sure about the brown fat stuff - but I do feel tremendous
I take my real shower at night - but in the morning after my run - I do the three minutes (timed with iPhone stopwatch) - funny though I love the shower and the post shower feeling - I still have a moment of despair - every time right before I turn the shower on
Was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on how I could possibly get the water colder than the 58-60 degrees it seems to be at each time…

Do the full cold plunge for 5 minutes per day every AM.

My son and son-in-law swear by cold plunges/ice baths, but I'm just not a fan of cold water. I get the bronchitis and pneumonia too easy.
Give me a sauna and/or jacuzzi every time.

Patiently waiting for 777 to come and tell you the error of your ways……

I use to do ice baths right before going to sleep. I’d shower first, then an hr later get the ice in the tub.
Slept like a rock when I did it.

If god wanted us to do things like cold plunges, your momma's womb would have been 45 degrees F. It wasn't, get thyself into a womb-like environment.

There's pretty solid science out there debunking ice baths, but if it makes you feel great and find it helpful then go for it

Indian men, dot not feather, swear by cold showers helping them last longer in bed.

Cold plunges offer no benefit, it’s all mental, it’s been proven time and time again. If it helps you, go for it

I think the lesson here is if something works for you and you think you are getting some benefit from it then do it. 'Studies' today are a joke so many of them are manipulated by who is funding them or doing the 'research' etc. Think of all the asinine 'study' results we have had in the last two years alone. What works for me isn't guaranteed to work for you and vice versa. Use yourself as a test rat and go from there.

A neck deep ice bath for 2 minutes followed immediately by a hot shower is one of the best physical feelings in the world.

Where’s the science saying this isn’t complete rubbish?

Submerging yourself in extremely cold water too often, say on a daily basis, isn't actually beneficial, similar to how it wouldn't be wise to max out in the gym or run your fastest sprint every day.

I've been doing cold plunge at my club for the last 3 weeks and I'm definitely a lifelong convert.
Right off the bat the benefits are:
More complete and rapid healing of minor "nagging" injuries (shoulders, biceps tendinitis, tennis elbow, minor knee pain)
Speedier recovery of muscles (fully ready to repeat a muscle group within 4 days now regardless of intensity of previous workout)
Better mindset, I feel more disciplined and like tough tasks aren't as daunting
I definitely feel more cold adapted around the house (it's always cold here in the morning but instead of needing my space heater on in the office I just kind of go with it - put on a knit Saints or LSU cap instead of warming the entire room.

I feel like I could run through a brick wall after a cold shower.
I take a 10 day trip to hunt up north every year. We tent camp so no shower facilities. Every other day I jump in the lake (50 degree water) to clean off a bit. It's miserable but I feel great afterwards. Just want to run and pick heavy shite up.
