Cold, Testosterone And Mitochondrial Dysfunction
A Talk by Thomas P Seager PhD (Arizona State University)
About this Talk
A compelling narrative about how cold exposure therapy dramatically improved testosterone levels and resolved serious health conditions, backed by scientific research and personal experience.
Key Takeaways:
Personal Transformation
- Reduced PSA from 7 to under 2 ng/dL
- Increased testosterone from 700s to 1180 ng/dL
- Achieved through daily ice baths and ketogenic diet
- No pharmaceutical interventions needed
Protocol Details
- Water temperature: 1-2°C
- Duration: 2-4 minutes
- Timing: Preferably at dawn
- Follow with light exercise (2 mins exercise per 1 min cold)
- Total routine takes about 15-20 minutes
Metabolic Mechanisms
- Cold exposure activates brown fat
- Stimulates mitochondrial health
- Triggers natural ketone production
- Reduces systemic inflammation
- Helps repair DNA through cold shock proteins
Beyond Testosterone
- Helps treat various metabolic conditions
- Supports mental health improvement
- Reduces inflammation systemwide
- Improves mitochondrial function
- Supports natural healing processes
Implementation Tips
- Start warmer if you have hypertension
- Control breathing in first 30 seconds
- Ground the plunge for added benefits
- Consider adding Epsom salts
- Don't shower immediately after
Notable Case Studies:
- Cancer patient's complete remission
- Liver tumor reduction
- Multiple testosterone optimisation successes
- Mental health improvements
The presentation emphasises cold exposure as a systemic approach to health rather than a targeted intervention, highlighting its broad effects on metabolic health and hormone optimization.
