Ep. 47 - Uncommon Testosterone with Tom Seager

In this episode of the Essential Therapies podcast, Dr. Cindy Hodgson sits down with Dr. Thomas Seager—engineer, researcher, and founder of Morozko Forge—for a deep and inspiring conversation about healing, hormones, and the power of cold.

Tom shares his personal journey that began with a high PSA and prostate cancer scare—an experience that led him to adopt daily ice baths and a ketogenic diet in pursuit of natural healing. His new book, Uncommon Testosterone, blends personal storytelling with scientific insight, offering hundreds of well-sourced references to help demystify hormone health, particularly testosterone.

Together, we explore how cold exposure impacts testosterone, metabolic health, brown fat production, fertility, mental clarity, and emotional resilience. We also touch on keto, cortisol, mitochondria, and why the cold may be one of the most underestimated tools in natural healing.

We also explored the profound psychological and somatic benefits of cold exposure—not only for boosting mood and reducing anxiety, but also for helping the body release stored emotion through natural shivering responses. Ice baths, as we discussed, can be a powerful tool for emotional regulation and nervous system reset.

Toward the end of our conversation, Tom shares a thought-provoking perspective on a timely and important topic: the possible causes of autism. This emerging theory could reshape how we understand neurodevelopment—and may even lay the groundwork for his next book, Uncommon Brain.

Whether you’re curious about biohacking, hormone health, or the deeper science behind cold therapy, this episode is full of insight, warmth, and uncommon wisdom.
