He didn't think that if he said yes, people would burst from the backroom with scalpels or anything, but he was envisioning receiving an email from the health ministry like "KIDNEY TYPE O+ NEEDED: YOU HAVE *TWO* CMON FREE ICE CREAM", or being chosen at random.

Mental note in a few years: warn him not to leave his drink unattended in Tijuana*

So I'm at the #ServiceOntario #today with the PT (petulant/precocious teenager) getting his provincial health card renewed. The wonderful lady says "Well, now that you're 16, I have to ask you whether you'd like to be a organ donor?"

I knew there would be a pause (its a hefty decision), but it stretched further than anticipated, until I realized: "no no" I said, "she means when or if you DIE accidentally". We all laughed (him with relief) and he said yes.

I stayed in the water for just over 2 minutes 🥶

Someone said that #icebath and #WinterSwimming is an addiction. And he/she was totally right. 😀

I have cold shower every day plus the winter swimming on Sunday.

Oh wait! I am going to check out something new in the middle pf week - the newly created bath in Letna.

See you there tomorrow.

Today hits a bit different

#icebath #ice #cold #uk

🏊‍♀️ Dneska ve Vltavě jako vždy, 14 minut.

Tento týden jsem byla ve vodě - studená sprcha nebo sud - každý den.

Subjektivně mám pocit, že se to vyplatilo a plavání bylo obzvlášť příjemný.

Ice Bath Business Meetings Are a Thing Now, Apparently

Ever sold a company while sitting in near-freezing water?

Another fairly chilly #icebath today. It’s so much easier in the winter and I don’t have to spend 45 minutes cooling the water down with bottles of ice 😅 Took me a few minutes to get into the cold though today. I spent about 5 minutes in horse stance, focusing myself and readying my body for the cold water 🥶

Another day, another ice bath. It’s windy today so it feels really cold, but the water was surprisingly warm at 9.8c. Spent a bit longer in the water to account for the slightly higher temp.

At these temperatures , it’s a real challenge for me. I definitely don’t wanna get in that water but I know I have to.

The instant I get in my body starts to fight it. My breathing wants to pant, my legs spasm to get ready for jumping out, but I have to calm my breath, relax my body. I’m in and I’m staying in so my body has to adapt.

For maximum benefit there are no hot showers after the ice bath. My core has to warm me up itself. Moving and chanting start the process.

To je ale počasí. Teplota vody v sudu na balkóně je skoro stejná jako studená sprcha. Takže dneska bez sudu, ale studená sprcha.

Ups, I did it again. Winter swimming in a Hallstattersee, Austria.

The picture before and after. 10 minutes so far and so good.

I’ve recently started taking ice baths again. It sounds a bit mad but it does wonders for my mental health and my body feels relaxed, warm and tingly afterwards.

It’s like each day my mind and body get to reset and my body learns to breathe deeply and just be. I’m not a religious person but in the moment there’s something almost spiritual about it.

Would love to hear some thoughts on the #WimHofMethod. Have you embarked on it or received any feedback from you patients? 🧊 ❄️

"just through behaviors, we can achieve terrifically high increases in dopamine that are very long and sustained in ways that serve us."

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s004210050065

* Sitting in very cold water (14ºC/57ºF) to their necks for up to an hour produced a 250% increase in dopamine that lasted for hours.

* Produces a very alert, calm start of mind. Ideal for work, socializing, sport.

* If the ice bath becomes comfortable, then it stops working for this.
