Summary
Thomas P Seager is an associate professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment at Arizona State University.
Seager leads research teams working at the boundaries of engineering and social science to understand innovation for resilient infrastructure systems, including the life-cycle environmental consequences of emerging energy technologies, novel approaches to teamwork and communication in socio-technical integrative settings, and engineering ethics education.
Current research sponsors include the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, the Environmental Protection Agency, and several industry partners. Seager is the faculty director of the Resource Innovation Solutions Network (RISN), a partnership of between ASU, City of Phoenix and other local municipalities for fostering circular, closed-loop economies.
RISN operates a vertical incubator to nurture entrepreneurs that will accelerate the transition to a Circular Economy. Additionally, Seager serves as chairman and CEO of eXperiential Sustainability Ethics Training (XSETGames, LLC), which creates digital simulations for examining economic and ethical dimensions of wicked problems including pharmaceutical pricing, technological innovation, intergenerational equity and the Tragedy of the Commons.
These simulations have been used by corporations, government agencies, and higher education clients, including dozens of Universities on three different continents.
Lastly, Seager founded the non-profit Sustainability Conoscente Network as a mechanism for sharing knowledge related to systems approaches to sustainable technologies. The Conoscente holds the International Symposium on Sustainable Systems and Technology in May of every year.

| 0:00.0 | Shrug this week on Barbell Shrug, Dr Thomas Seger is coming into the show which is very very cool because when we were down at Parker University one of our clients at Rabbit Health Optimization |
| 0:09.6 | actually put us in touch with him. He came down to learn at the seminar, of course, but also when I heard his background from our client, |
| 0:19.0 | immediately knew we needed to have him on Barbal Sh Shark, which is the background of people is always |
| 0:23.8 | interesting to me how somebody from an engineering background focused in public health |
| 0:29.0 | would wind up through COVID creating super high-end cold plunges. |
| 0:36.2 | Just seems like an interesting puzzle to put together. |
| 0:38.6 | And what I learned is because of the engineering background, you can start to see how that brain starts to put pieces together on problem solving and how it gets into understanding health, physiology, metabolic function, and that's what we take the deep dive into today. |
| 0:56.1 | I thought we were going to be talking when we first met him just about Ice Baz, kind of in the blanket |
| 1:01.6 | understanding of what everybody talks about when you get into ice, |
| 1:05.6 | cold baths, and what ended up actually happening is a significantly deeper dive |
| 1:09.6 | into metabolic health, a lot of the root cause issues that are facing humanity, I guess you could call it at the highest level, but anybody that is paying attention to what's going on with our medical system, |
| 1:20.0 | it's just a really, really unpleasant picture when you start to look at how how unhealthy the world has become specifically in the United States |
| 1:27.7 | Dr. Tom Seger really comes in here and absolutely crushes this and I can't wait to have him back on the show. |
| 1:34.1 | And as always friends make sure you get over to rapidhealth report.com. |
| 1:38.5 | That is where Dr. Andy Galpin has a video lined up for you on the three-step process we use here at Rapid Health |
| 1:44.8 | optimization for you to unlock your true physiological potential. As always friends |
| 1:49.7 | you can access that free video over at rapidhealth report.com. Friends, let's get into the show. |
| 1:58.0 | Welcome to Barbara Strug, I'm Anders Varner, Doug Larson, |
| 2:01.0 | Nicole Race. |
| 2:03.0 | She's not the guest today, but this is our first time on Barbara Shrck. |
| 2:05.6 | She's host. |
| 2:06.6 | Welcome to Barbal Strut and Tom Seeger from Arizona State, you are, we are at the |
