In this episode of the Beautifully Broken Podcast, Thomas P. Seager, PhD, an expert in sustainable engineering and co-founder of the Morozko Forge ice bath company, takes us on a journey of self-improvement and health benefits through cold plunge therapy. Seager discusses his personal journey, from overcoming obesity and emotional struggles to embracing cold exposure practices that positively impacted his testosterone levels, metabolic health, and mental wellness.
He explains how cold therapy activates brown fat, improves mitochondrial health, and can aid in cancer prevention by inhibiting tumor growth. The conversation also covers the role of cold exposure in hormone balance, resilience, and the holistic approach to wellness. Seager's insights challenge conventional health practices and highlight the power of personal experience in improving overall health. Join us for an enlightening discussion on how cold plunge therapy contributes to physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
