Author: Gary Kirwan July 25, 2019 Duration: 45:52

Health coach, Leigh Ewin, is today’s guest interview. Leigh shares with us how cold exposure training, starting by using a cold shower, can benefit us. He explains what cold adaptation is and the best ways to incorporate cold showers into our routine. We then find out about the two components of the Wim Hof Method, what studies show about cold exposure benefits and the optimal temperatures at which we can begin to see these. We also go into discussing why we shiver, exercise, cycling hot saunas and cold exposure as well as safe ways to try dipping into a hole in the ice.

In BioHackers Lab: Health Show for How to Live Your Best Life, host Gary Kirwan guides conversations that move beyond generic wellness advice. This podcast operates on the principle that effective health strategies are deeply personal; what works for one person's gut, mind, or body might not work for another. Each episode delves into practical, often nuanced, approaches to customising your lifestyle, drawing on global perspectives from individuals pioneering interesting methods to improve health. Discussions naturally explore a wide spectrum, from the roles of specific diets and supplements to the integration of purposeful exercise and recovery techniques. The aim is to provide listeners with a diverse toolkit of ideas and experiences, empowering them to experiment and find what truly optimises their own unique system. Tuning into this podcast is an invitation to a continuous, personal experiment-a process of biohacking your way toward a more vibrant and resilient version of yourself. It’s about parsing the noise, understanding the underlying mechanisms of your wellbeing, and making incremental, sustainable changes that compound into a significantly better quality of life.
