Summary
Did you know that something as simple as a change in temperature can drastically improve your health? Today you’re going to learn how to harness the power of thermogenesis in order to burn fat, promote longevity, build resilience to stress, and so much more.
On this episode of The Model Health Show, we’re diving into the science of utilizing cold exposure therapy to uplevel your health. You’re going to hear the latest data on how cold exposure impacts your biology, can reduce inflammation, and support immune function. This episode also contains insights from one of the leading experts on the topic of cold and heat therapy, Dr. Susanna Søberg.
You’re also going to learn specific details on how to incorporate this practice into your lifestyle. I’m sharing tips, practical advice, the ideal temperature range to reap the benefits of cold exposure, and the minimum effective dose. If you’ve ever been curious about how to implement the power of thermogenesis, just click play!
In this episode you’ll discover:
- The importance of having healthy and abundant mitochondria.
- How brown adipose tissue functions, and its role in metabolism.
- The connection between cold exposure and the activation of brown fat.
- Why cold exposure can increase insulin sensitivity.
- What adiponectin is.
- The connection between drinking coffee and brown adipose tissue levels.
- How cold exposure can make you more resilient to stress.
- Why hormetic stress is so good for our bodies.
- The link between cold therapy and inflammation levels.
- What temperature range is the most effective for metabolic changes.
- How many minutes per week you should utilize cold exposure.
- One of the most overlooked benefits of cold exposure therapy.
- Why cold temperatures can support the function of the immune system.
- When to avoid cold exposure.

| 0:18.8 | Today you're going to discover how to utilize a specific change in temperature to radically improve your metabolic |
| 0:26.0 | health. Specifically, it's the occasional exposure to cold temperatures in a very specific way and a very specific amount of time that will deliver you some |
| 0:36.8 | remarkable benefits. First we're going to take a look at the impact that |
| 0:40.9 | Thermogenesis has on the systems and cellular structures responsible for burning |
| 0:46.4 | fat. |
| 0:47.5 | The end destination where fat is actually burned for energy in ourselves is within the energy power plants of ourselves called |
| 0:55.4 | the mitochondria. Having a sufficient number of mitochondria within our cells and |
| 1:00.6 | having efficient healthy mitochondrial function are both keys to great metabolic health. |
| 1:07.0 | Now more and more science is pouring in affirming that one of the most mitochondria rich tissues in our body is known as brown adipose tissue |
| 1:18.0 | aka brown fat. It actually gets its brown appearance because it's so dense in mitochondria. |
| 1:25.5 | Now brown fat is a heat generating type of fat that actually burns energy |
| 1:30.7 | instead of storing it, acting more like muscle than fat. And research is now |
| 1:36.8 | proven that brown fat can actually be activated to burn more body fat by adapting your body's temperature. Now maintaining a healthy |
| 1:45.3 | amount of brown fat can be a key ingredient in a robust metabolism. Research |
| 1:51.8 | published by the Garen Institute of Medical Research found that once activated, just 50 grams of brown |
| 1:58.8 | fat on your body could burn an additional 300 calories of energy in a day just automatically. |
