Who is Thomas Seager?
Dr. Thomas P. Seager is an Associate Professor at Arizona State University in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, and the co-founder and CEO of Morozko Forge, a company known for its advanced ice bath technology. He is the author of Uncommon Cold and Uncommon Testosterone, two books exploring the science behind cold exposure and its impact on hormone health, inflammation, and overall well-being. Originally drawn to cold plunging during a challenging period in his life, Dr. Seager used it to dramatically improve his own health, including reducing PSA levels and naturally boosting testosterone. His work focuses on the connection between mitochondrial function and hormone production, and he advocates for individualized, science-based approaches to health using cold therapy.
