Episode 102 - Integrating Cold Bath, Breathwork, and Spirituality to Optimize your Health with Aditya Iyer

Have you heard of the incredible health benefits of a cold shower or ice bath? Cold showers and ice baths are becoming increasingly popular as people look to improve their overall health and well-being. They offer a range of benefits, including boosting the immune system, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, relieving localized pain, and combatting depression. They can even increase your metabolism. And don't worry - you don't have to endure it for that long.

By combining cold baths, breathwork, and spirituality into a regular routine, you can optimize your physical and mental health. Breathwork helps oxygenate the body and promote deeper states of relaxation. Spirituality can assist in connecting to a higher power or energy source to cultivate inner peace and harmony. Practicing these three disciplines together can unleash extraordinary potential for your health.

In this episode, Aditya Iyer, the host of the My Seven Chakras podcast and a breathwork instructor, discusses the proven health benefits of cold showers. We also uncover the power of breathwork and learn about different types of breathwork practices. Lastly, we delve into spirituality and its role in self-care.
