Unlike Game of Thrones, Winter is not coming for most of us.

So we have pretty much canceled winter,

and that means no matter what climate we live in as humans

in a modern society, our car seats are heated.

Our homes are at 72 degrees, our gyms, our schools, our workplaces.

We rarely experience cold, even though our bodies have some ancient pathways built into them, for adapting to cold

and for extreme benefits from cold adaptation.

We never experience cold in our modern society nor true winter. We really do need like our ancestors did to bring winter back for optimal health. From the Westin A Price Foundation, welcome to the Wise Traditions Podcast for

Wise Traditions in Food, farming, and the healing arts.

We are your source for scientific knowledge and traditional wisdom to help you achieve optimal

health. Hey, Helda here. In the winter months we heat our homes. In the summer, we cool them. Unfortunately, by insulating ourselves

against the weather, we are unintentionally hindering the body's ability to

naturally adapt to the climate around us. And we may be negatively

impacting our health as well. But what if we turn things around and began using

cold and heat and light therapy, our very environment in effect, to and today. Mike T. Nelson, Katie Newman, Thaddeus Owen, Krista Rymel, Heidi Sime, and Nick

Zahaski. These are a team of experts who cover the benefits of cold and heat

therapy. Mike is a doctor of exercise physiology.

Katie is a nutritional therapy practitioner.

and ancestral wisdom have to offer.
