Episode 143: Phys Flex Cert Open Now & Does cold water immersion increase metabolism by 350%?
Today's solo cast covers the effects of cold water immersion on metabolic rate. Listen in as I take a deep dive into the published literature on whether or not cold water immersion is useful for this purpose.

This podcast is brought to you by the Physiologic Flexibility Certification course. In the course, I talk about the body's homeostatic regulators and how you can train them. The benefit is enhanced recovery and greater robustness. We cover breathing techniques, CWI, sauna, HIIT, diet, and more. The course is open for enrollment now through April 11, 2022.
