 Well, hello again, everybody, for I don't know how many times today, but I'm back again. And yay, what a wonderful way to end up my day with a beautiful prize from Esther Terrick Atlanta. How are you, Hallivan? I'm good. Well, I'm feeling my career retrograde today as we were laughing beforehand. So definitely I'm tired today. It is me, I'm starting my day with you. So this is a beautiful way to start the day. So I hope our audience is hanging in there because we are at a very interesting time in our timeline right now. It's just very interesting. So just hold on. It is extremely interesting, lots of... But I must say, I kind of feel like we've over a big hum. I'm not saying we over it all or over the worst necessarily, but I feel like we've really just come through some particularly trying times, actually. Yes. Yeah, we had the blood moon, full moon. What was it? Sunday night. Yeah. And that was a big one. That was a really, really big one. It was the Scorpio, which of course, you'd think of, my moon sign is in Scorpio. That's why I'm so... I'm an Aquarian as my actual overall sign, which we kind of detach, but then the Scorpio moon makes me very emotional. So I feel sorry for all the men I've dated. No, I'm just kidding. So, but yeah, and I also, and I've spoken about this before, for women, we get our cycles either around new moon or full moon, and I'm a full mooner. So I got my cycle during this whole, that was the universe going, we're just gonna make this a little extra hard for you to get your shit together. So that's okay, it's fine, that's fine. So I'm excited today, guys. I'm excited about... This is my favorite topic in the whole world is called therapy. It's one of my favorite topics. This is something I'm really, really, really, really excited to hear about, because I gotta be honest, it's not something I've delved into much more because I don't want to. I know there's lots and lots of amazing healing benefits. I put very cold water at least, or ice water on my face every morning. And I've been doing so for a long time. There are times where I will occasionally turn the shower on cold off time at a hot shower. But it's so cold, fries. I know, and I'm gonna tell you guys, I am like the biggest fan. When I tell you that winter isn't really a thing down here, we don't really do winter, I'm serious. I actually bought a pair of gloves this past winter because we had a freak day where it snowed, I don't know anybody who has gloves down here in the South. We're not winter people. Where I live in America, it's called the Bible Belt, but it's also called the Sun Belt. That's why people in the South talk slow. It's too damn hot to talk fast. So I am someone that is not, I'm just not conditioned for cold weather. There's a really funny comedian who is from Atlanta, and I shared one of her stand-ups where she was talking about having to move to New York City because of her job. And she was saying that one day there was what they call a bomb cyclone, which is like a really big, oh no, she froze. Hopefully I'm still here. Oh yeah, there you are, okay, good. I was like, oh my gosh, Shanti froze. Am I off or is she off? Thanks, Mercury. But this comedian was talking about how she moved to New York City and there was this huge snowstorm that came through. Now here down here in the South, if they even think there's a possibility that we might get a little bit of a flurry, they close down everything. Everything shuts down and the Piggly Wiggly, the local grocery store sells out of bread and bread water. And right here. Boys gets me. I don't remember in one of the south, but I think it's called something, wasn't Mystic Pizza, no. Was that one with Julia Roberts when she gets married and then she, what was the old, whatever, I can't remember. Dolly Parton was in it. Oh, Steel Magnolias. Steel Magnolias. Yeah, that's how I grew up. I mean, my mom had a group of lady friends that's still her group of lady friends and we called them all by their first name. In the south, you always say Mrs or Mr, whatever, but my mom's a little group of lady friends. We always called them, they had their own big hairspray aquanet, you know. Yeah, Steel Magnolias, that if you want to know what life is like in the south, watch Steel Magnolias. That's how I grew up. So the big, big pizza. I throw it all in there. I throw it all in there. This is the Piggly Wiggly though. That's a local grocery store chain. We always joke. We're like, well, the Piggly Wiggly sold out of bread and water. That must mean that the apocalypse is coming. So like, if they think that it might just flurry, like literally you better get your ass to the Piggly Wiggly to get you a loaf of bread because literally you would be the second coming of Jesus. Well, this comedian was talking about moving up to New York and there was this like snowstorm and her work said she still had to come into work and she was like, excuse me, but Jesus don't want me to go to work today. And when she said that I laughed so hard, but Jesus don't want me to go to work today because that's how we view winter down here in the south. Jesus don't want us to go to work. If there's a little bit of snow on the, Jesus don't want us to go to work. We got to stay at home. Exactly. So that's exactly why not. It makes perfect sense. So yeah, so cold therapy, and I am kind of like you Shanti, maybe it's an, maybe it's an aquarium thing. I'm a little bit of a daredevil. Like I'm definitely the kid. My mom will probably tell you that I probably gave my parents more heart attacks than my sister growing up because if you tell me to try something, I will probably try it. Even if I'm scared shitless, I will probably try it. And cold therapy, I mean, that's why I picked up and went to India by myself, which looking back was probably pretty stupid, but I did it. I went by myself, you know, didn't know anybody. I ended up making really good friends, but you know, it's just kind of how I've been my whole life. And so cold therapy, what started with me was around my early 30s to mid 30s, I was really, really struggling with arthritis, which I've spoken about, which I haven't struggled with in a long time. But it was proposed to me by someone I knew to start going to cryotherapy. Now there's many different ways to do cold therapy, which we're gonna get into. Cryotherapy is the best for me because like we're gonna talk about ice baths as well, but cryotherapy is what I mostly do. I do take cold showers in the morning. So first of all, people probably like, well, what is cryotherapy? Which is literally cold therapy. And this is defined as a technique where the whole body is exposed to extremely cold temperatures for several minutes. And so if we think about that from a very like, we've all had ice packs before, like I actually ran and got, this is my ice pack eyes. And I probably should have done this this morning because I was running. I don't have some like that as well that have been lying in my bedside cabinet for, I don't know how long, do they work? Is it any good? So like, I have my eyes a little puffy this morning. It's the Mercury retrograde, I'm assuming, and I'm on my cycle. So you know that does funny things. But yeah, so normally if I, I didn't have time this morning, I keep this in the freezer and I would just get it out and I would lay on my bed for a few minutes with this on my eyes. It's really cold and it takes the puffiness down. So this is just kind of a vanity thing. This is all this really is. And there are a lot of vanity sides to cryotherapy, which I was laughing before we hit record that that's usually what entices people to try cryotherapy is the vanity, what it does for you physically. But there's also so many other health benefits to cold therapy. Now cryotherapy, so as I was saying, so ice packs, like we all know what an ice pack is. Like if you like, one time I got smacked, I was playing softball with some friends. I think I was like in the fourth grade. So like eight or nine and I got smacked in the eye with the ball and I had big black eye. And so my parents put frozen peas on my eye when I came in. We all have that parent that grabs that thing out of the freezer and sticks it on you. And if you think about like inflammation, when you have a place in your body that's inflamed, it's like that one area of the body has a little bit of a fever, right? There's a heat that's rising from that area. And so bringing the cold to it is going to start to move that fever. It's going to start to calm that inflammation down. And we're going to talk about that a little bit later how it works with blood, with cryotherapy. So when I go to cryotherapy, and I'll show you guys what, I'm going to share a screen quickly and show you guys what I'm talking about when I grow. Let me see if I can find my cryotherapy. Here we go. All right, let me share a screen. And so when I do cryotherapy, I used to go before we had the lockdown, I used to go to a place called Icebox, which is here in Atlanta. It's actually a block away from me. And this is the one, this guy coming out of the refrigerator right here. This is the machine that I would use. Now it used to be that your head wasn't in it, but I prefer the whole machine because it then takes the inflammation out of your face as well. And so with cryotherapy, you're in this refrigerator and it's negative 200 degrees to negative 300 degrees Fahrenheit or negative 129 Celsius to 184 Celsius for you guys to go by Celsius. And you're in for two to four minutes. Now the place that I go, which is Icebox, which is like this, they only allow you in there for three minutes max before they pull you out. And so basically, and what I like is, so basically if you're going to do this, you will go in your first time, you have to take your clothes off, you can't have any like spandex on. If you've been sweaty, I would suggest getting the sweat off of you first because that's going to be really intense in the refrigerator. And they have you put on these like cotton boxers, socks over your knees and some slippers on. For a woman, you can wear your bra if you want to. I don't wear my bra because I'm a dare double like that. And I have, there's two types of breasts. There is breasts that are more fatty tissue and breasts that are more muscly. I have the more muscly breast. And so I always feel like I kind of want to hold my arms up and make sure that that area is getting the benefits of the cryo or cold therapy as well. So you go into this refrigerator, there's always somebody in the room with you because here's the thing. It's almost like controlled hypothermia, right? If we go over a certain amount of time, it's going to be bad news bears. And so they're pulling you out. I actually think the machine shuts off at like three minutes. You go in, they shut the door, they're in with you the whole time talking to you. Like I said, I don't wear my bra so they give you a rope. When I get into the machine, I throw my robe over the door and they take the rope. And they talk to you the whole time through an intercom while you're in there. They play music, all that kind of stuff. It is extremely cold. And so for those of us who have breathing practices or yoga practices, this is another form of calming your breath down and allowing your breath to be calm while you're in this refrigerator basically. Now the thing about this, you see there's a door. So I've heard so many stories of people panicking and pushing the door open, boobs out. You know, like at that point, you don't care, it just boobs out, pushing the door open, running out. Now, usually you're in a back room so no one else can see you. And for me, normally you'll get a female going in there with you if you're a female. And then once you, there is a clock inside of the refrigerator with you so you can see the countdown of when you're about to get out. And by the time you're down to like 10 seconds, they'll start opening the door and throwing you your robe to get you out. Okay, so that's what cryotherapy kind of looks like. Now the benefits of cryotherapy and all cold therapy is it reduces migraine. So if you're someone who struggles with migraines, it numbs nerve irritation. It helps treat mood disorders like depression, anxiety, which Wenhoff, who is a big breathing guy, he is a huge promoter of cold therapy as well. You see him in the ice. He does it a lot in his bathing suit. He's breathing through it. And so if you're a Wenhoff fan, our friend Catherine is a Wenhoff fan. You can see so many talks on YouTube of him speaking about the benefits of cold therapy and how it also helps treat depression, anxiety, all that kind of stuff. It reduces arthritic pain. It reduces low risk tumors, so cancer. It can prevent dementia or Alzheimer's. It can treat skin conditions. Again, it helps with inflammation and it also is a huge proponent in weight loss. Now I don't want people to do this specifically for weight loss, but I know that three minutes in this cryotherapy, in this machine, burns 800 calories. 800 calories. I probably don't know. Is that because your body's obviously trying to keep warm? So in the process of trying to keep warm, it's burning up a lot of heat, obviously. Learning up a lot of heat. And we're gonna talk in a minute about brown fat and white fat too, because there is an element of that as well. But so basically what's happening, so people who have ever done cupping, I'm a huge fan of cupping. It's kind of like when you do cupping, they pull off. So when you have an area of your body that is injured or stressed out, there's something going on. Sometimes the blood is our sacred DNA or the blood is what heals us, the running of the blood through the body. And that's why circulation of blood is very important. That's another reason why exercise is important because it helps circulate that blood through the heart so the heart can clean the blood. So when you are in a cold, a cryotherapy or an ice bath, which we're gonna talk about as well, your body's main target is to get the blood to rush into your internal organs, to get your internal organs protected because all of a sudden it's sign of, oh my gosh, we're in really cold, we're in a really cold environment. And so it pulls the blood out of areas that might be a little bit stressed or inflamed and that's why it's helping it because it's helping that blood flush. And that also is why your body starts to burn all these calories because it's highly activated in this cold type of environment. The people at Icebox, I used to do this like maybe four times a week. And the Icebox that I would go through is literally a block, I could walk over there from where I live, I would do it in the afternoon. And they would always laugh at me because they would say like, they could hear me in there like rocking back and forth, like rocking back and forth on my feet, just trying to like keep moving. Like I was just trying to like breathe through it and stuff because you will definitely have some come to Jesus moments while you're in this. But yes, it is so- I think a lot. Yes, absolutely. You can put things on your head, they give you ear muffs too if you want to protect your ears. I don't wear the ear muffs because I am vain and so I want to get the cryo on my face as well. Okay, so we can also talk, I want to show you the ice baths too. So this to me, I've never, I take cold showers, but I've never done an ice bath. A lot of- I was about to ask you about that thing. I mean, compared to that cryotherapy, let's say you can't go for the cryotherapy or it's not available to you, whatever. If you had to take an ice bath, would it be the same? Would it be the same type of- You can actually order. I'm actually thinking about myself ordering an ice bath tub like they have here. You can see it here, because are one of these inflatable ones, because I have not been able to go back to cryotherapy since the lockdown because, so I'm relying on my own education now too. That's why I take cold showers in the morning and the cold showers that I'm taking in the morning are nowhere near as cold as it needs to be for our wife when you're doing an ice bath. So I was reading a little bit about ice bathing because this is something now in the cryotherapy and you're going to the actual location and getting into the refrigerator. Again, you're only there for three minutes max. With ice bathing though, you're in for 15 minutes. Okay, so this is a lot longer of a thing to deal with and a lot of athletes do ice bathing. Now we know up in Russia and some of these really up Northern countries, they do jump into frozen rivers. And I have some friends in the yoga world who do this, who will go and jump in the frozen water there just outside in their backyard. And so- Is there anything special about buying a bath like a bath tub or is a normal bath at home with ice cubes in it? The same as these little bath tub things. I'm wondering if- I think it's fine to use your own bath. My worry, the reason why I think I would order a separate one is because you're dumping, you're gonna have to like prep for an ice bath. You're gonna have to go buy a lot huge bags of ice from the gas station or the grocery store. And so my concern would be that it would take a while for the ice to melt down the drain. And so I think that's why I would do a separate tub specifically for ice bathing. And I, because I am a baby for ice, I probably in the summertime here would do it outside in my bathing suit. I just put a bathing suit on and do it outside just because it's probably gonna be a little bit messy as well, because what I've read with ice bathing is what you wanna do is fill the tub up to your thighs with cold water and then dump the ice in once you're already in the tub because it's gonna help your system adapt quicker to the cold. But you are literally in for that ice bath. And you are literally in this for 15 minutes guys. Cryotherapy is only three minutes, but this is literally, but a lot of athletes do this. A lot of athletes are very familiar with ice bathing. I can talk about the actual benefits about doing this. What are the benefits of immersing yourself in such a freezing cold water? I look at these guys, I wanna shiver and shake, just looking at them. I know, I will say from experience, I mean, I just, so again, it's reducing migraines, numbs nerve irritation, treats mood disorders, depression, reduces arthritic pain, works on low-risk tumors, prevents dementia in Alzheimer's, can treat skin conditions, inflammation. And of course, a big one is weight loss, helps with weight loss, which we're gonna get to again in a second with the brown fat versus the white fat. But for me, there is a huge spiritual component to this. I can't really explain it, but there is a huge, huge spiritual awakening that starts to happen. The more that you do cold therapy. And I know there's a guru, so I can't remember which guru said this. And he said, people keep asking me how to find enlightenment. And I keep telling them, take a five minute cold shower every morning, but no one does it. And I agree with him, there is something very spiritual. When you come out of it, you feel so refreshed. But it's not just your physical body, because I will shiver for a while after I'm out of it. It's not just your physical body, it's like your mind is refreshed as well. And that I can't really put my finger on what spiritually is happening. Maybe it's because your nerves are so activated, like, look at her face, that would be me. So. I wouldn't say that, that is. Ha, ha, ha, definitely. I would say at ordering a tub, because I haven't been able to go to cry with therapy. And this was something that was so, it was for years was such a vital part of my day, was doing this cold therapy. Now, how did this, where did this come from? So the history of therapeutic hypothermia, which is what this is called medically, is therapeutic hypothermia. I'll get to the other slides in a minute. So this, from what they tell us, this started over 5,000 years ago. Written records dating back from Egypt. Oh, cry, okay. Imhotep, who is a very interesting person from Egyptian history, Imhotep. He was a genius in polymath, a chancellor and a doctor for the pharaoh, Dosher. He also had a lot to do with the pyramids. And there is a huge mysticism and folklore around Imhotep, that he was like this, maybe he wasn't fully human. And I kind of subscribed to that with a lot of the Egyptians, because we know that the Egyptians were carrying over the beliefs from Atlantis. And I believe that a lot of them were half human, half... I believe Horus was an Atlantian. Horus was an Atlantian, I'm sure. Yeah, I just saw Horus, yeah, all these, they knew things. And I think that they brought information to us. Well, I was laughing with Shanti, and he was a high priest for Ra as well in Egypt. And so I was laughing because in the history notes I was reading through, they figured out that cold therapy worked because when the slaves would get injured in Egypt, the cold therapy would treat them so well that they can get back and like slave again the next day. So I was like, you know, if they're using it for their slaves, obviously there's something here because they wanna get them back out back working. But I don't know how true that is. Cause I think the cold therapy again, it's used when we get into like the 18th century, which we'll see it was used by the elites. Now Greek philosophers also have a lot of writing on using hypothermia for therapeutic reasons. In the 17th century, a doctor named John Foyer started working with cold therapy with his patients who had real intense fevers to break the fever. And then again in the 18th century, European aristocracy used it for aches, pains, and for their overall well-being. So the aristocracy used it and knew this little secret with cold therapy. All right, the 20th century, they started using it in a negative way. They started using it in asanicylums to basically they would put people with mental problems in a cold bath and like lock them into it for too long. Like they went too far with it. Cause we know if it goes too far we are getting into hypothermia. And that's why I'm telling you if you go to a professional like the icebox chain or any type of cryotherapy chain where they've been trained to work with you, they're going to stay with you the whole time. They will not leave you and they will pull you out at a particular time. They cannot, you know, if it hits that three minute mark, the door is the machine shutting down the doors opening, they're getting you out of there because they know what you can't be in there past a certain amount of time. Now again, in modern times, we know that there was a Japanese doctor who also started using cryotherapy for his patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It started helping them massively with their inflammation. And again, as I said, when Hoff who is a big breathing guy, he's a huge promoter of this as well. Now what tends to happen as well, I'm going to go over here and share screen again. So this is what we're talking about with weight loss. Okay. So within the human body, we have both white fat and brown fat. White fat is the bad fat. White fat is the fat that causes a lot of health issues. Brown fat is the fat that we need. And you find high levels of brown fat in like the Eskimos. People who live in very, very, very cold environments, their body has started to create this brown fat. Well, the white fat is what creates things like cellulite. Brown fat burns things like cellulite. It also burns excess fat and gives you extra energy. And so a lot of people use cryotherapy for vanity purse purposes. You can go to, you can do the full refrigerator like I do, or a lot of these places will have like a back room. Well, they'll do localized. So they'll take like this hose and they'll rub it on one particular area of the body, you can get like a tummy tuck just from using cryotherapy because it's turning, the cold is turning the white fat into brown fat. And so you can see, you can see differences. Like here's a one, I mean, that's typical. I went with a friend once. I went with every session she went to. And you could see her skin changing from cellulite to no cellulite. You look at this back. It's the body reacting in a proper way to the cold therapy to again, turn the white fat into brown fat. You see it here with the stomach. So I'm saying the tummy tuck starts to happen. All right. I mean, it's pretty incredible what the, and this is no surgery. They're not doing any type of surgery whatsoever. It's just literally putting cold, really cold air or ice on particular parts of your body to trigger your body into creating brown fat, which again is what we need. It's what we need in order to move through the white fat, which is the fat that's bad. That causes all sorts of health problems. That is cellulite that, you know, that we don't like to see anyway. It's just, you know, a lot of women get self-conscious about cellulite. You could have cryo facials. I know many people here in Atlanta to do a lot of cryo facials to bring. I mean, you can see in this guy, I mean, that's why I have my ice pack right here is to reduce inflammation and swelling in your face. And yes, with ice, that's a secret that I've known for a while that with you have it, let's just say that you go out at night one night and you have a rip-roaring good time and you've been drinking a lot. And the next day you wake up, looking three sheets to the wind, like you've been road hard and put away wet. Your face is swollen, you're just hungover. You fill up an eye, a bowl full of ice water and you pull your hair back and put your face in the ice water, lift it up, put it back in for about five minutes and it will take that inflammation down. And we know inflammation isn't cute, it's not pretty, but inflammation can also affect the way you feel. It doesn't, it's not a comfortable feeling. And so once you start to feel better, once the body starts to move, your quality of life improves. And so this is, so in my opinion, because this is non-invasive, because this isn't going under the knife, this is something that can really help benefit you while you're also doing your yoga, while you're also doing other things as well to help keep the body moving and circulating this blood. It also will help you sleep better. I have never had the first time ever to cryotherapy. That night, I slept so hard. And it's, every time I go and do cryotherapy, I have an incredible night of sleep. It's like the body just gets in this rhythm. Oh, here's a picture of what it looks like. So that's kind of like when they do like the localized, they use this little, this little hose and they go on a specific area of the body and they work it and they get the body to react to it. I have this here. So for like, I looked at this for ice, for ice bathing. So these are six tips. Cause again, for people who are still locked down or like me who haven't, so therefore can't go and do cryotherapy, you know, here's six, here's some tips for ice bathing. So fill the, so you can fill your toe to your thighs, and dump about a pound of ice. This makes it easier to deal with the ice added versus jumping into an ice-filled tub. Use a little bit of ice and slowly add more. Increase the ice level to your thighs or tolerance builds. This will help you ease into taking baths regularly if you plan on using cold therapy as a form of treatment. Try to stay in the ice bath for as long as you can, but do not exceed 15 minutes. It is recommended to work up to the recommended 15 minutes without pushing your body beyond its limits. Wear warm clothes on the top part of your body to keep the exposed areas of yourself warm. So I've seen, so my friends up in Canada have posted pictures of them ice bathing and they'll have like tobog, like the hats on and ear muffs on, you know, while they're in an ice bath. I don't own a pair of ear muffs, so I would have to go buy that. But you can drink hot liquids like tear to cabinet coffee to help you from dropping too low. Avoid taking a shower right after an ice bath. It's better to let the body warm up on its own instead of shocking it with hot water. So that's super important. I do that with, I take in my daily life, and I've done this since I was in my 20s, I take a hot salt bath every single night before bed. I enjoy it, it relaxes me, I can read in the bath and it's just something that really prepares me for bed. And whenever I do cryotherapy, I always wait at least four hours before I take my hot bath to let my body do what it needs to do without being bombarded by warmth after it just got bombarded with cold. If after several minutes, you cannot seem to get warming on, take a shower to raise your internal temperature. All right, so these are just some tips. So you guys can find things online to help you get into the habit of cold therapy. Again, for me, the actual cryotherapy places, the actual businesses that do this, which you can find them, I think, all over the world. Icebox, again, is the company I use down here in Atlanta. I don't know if that's outside the United States, but you can just type in cryotherapy in your area. If you are new to this, I would 100% suggest going to a business if they allow you in without this and have them walk you through it. Because as I said, because we are going into such extreme temperatures, again, I'll read the temperatures for the cryotherapy, is negative 200 to negative 300 Fahrenheit, which is negative 129 Celsius to negative 184 Celsius. That's in the refrigerator, so it's really cold. It's really effing cold. And you will have, like I said, you will have somebody with you talking you through it. Now, the first time you do it, they might only say, since it's your first time, we're only going to put you in there for a minute and a half to two minutes, right? They might say we should only try a little bit now. Then next time, let's build up to you doing the full three minutes. And it's funny where I go, they play, when you get into the ice chamber, they play Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. They play that song while you're in there. And the time you're in is like, the whole, and so I was always a fan of Queen. And so I was always mad that Vanilla Ice had like ripped, or not Vanilla Ice, whoever created that Ice Ice Baby song, like ripped that song off. But now I know every single word to that song because I'd be in the ice chamber like singing along with this music just to distract me from how cold it was. But they talk you through it. You are never alone at a cryo. They have somebody in the room with you the whole time to make sure that you are okay, that you're not freaking out. There's a window that can be rolled down. Some people prefer to have the window rolled down so they can actually see the person outside. I roll that sucker up, like give me all the coal, just give it to me now. And they're talking to you through the community, the intercom, and you can push the door open. If you need to get out, you can always push the door open. And so, but it is helpful to have somebody who's a professional with you at least the first times that you understand what sensations you should be feeling. They can talk you through what you're gonna feel at these side effects, like you're sleeping well. Honestly, after I do it though, I'm always hit with energy. Like for a first time, I'm hit with so much energy after the first couple of hours from, it's funny. Where are I? I can imagine. No, I can imagine. That is an amazing feeling. I mean, I just know sometimes when I've had very cold swims, I mean, just say anyone who's been to Cape Town and who's tried to swim in the sea in Cape Town knows exactly how cold it is. You can't, a friend of mine now, what they do, they go swimming in the morning, it's five AM, I think it's like 12 degrees or something, the sea. And they do it without wetsuits, skin, and it says that cold water becomes addictive. Yeah, it does become addictive. It really does, 100%. I mean, cryotherapy became addictive to me. I was going like four times a week. I mean, it helps with like soreness. Like I get very, I always laugh and tell my students that I've been sore for 15 years because with Ashdanga Yoga, when you get to that place where you're not sore anymore, that's when you get new postures. And so it just starts all over again. So it helps with soreness. You know, it helps if you're somebody who, you know, and for before when I was teaching my sore every single day, I was physically manhandling people as well as my own practice. And so my body was being used a lot. And so that would help me with my body like help get, you know, help my body kind of recalibrate. And so if that's something, if you're somebody that, if you work in construction or if you have a high intense labor job, this is something and with the cryotherapy as well versus the ice bathing, it's three minutes. You walk in, you jump in the refrigerator, you jump out, you go. It's literally an errand that takes zero time. You know, it's a three minutes, it's a three minute ordeal. You know, and so it's so easy to do. I mean, it can get kind of costly depending on which company you go with. That's where the ice bathing is, you know, you just go buy some ice and you're good. But it is very invigorating. And it's, I had a friend in one time and she wanted to try it. And so we, where our ice box, the cryotherapy places I go to right around the corner, there's also a pub at the end of the street called the Nook. And they're known for their deep fried Twinkies. The Twinkies that we have in America, they deep fry them. And my friend was like, my friend was like after we go do cryotherapy, we got to go get some deep fried Twinkies because we burned 800 calories. So now we can go eat these like deep. I was like, I don't know how that works, but that's cool. I'm gonna deep fry Twinkie with you. I don't know if that's how that works, but that's fine. So yeah, you do start to notice things changing with your body, the more that you do the cryotherapy, you do start to notice things like your cellulite starting to smooth out. It's like the elixir of youth because you're getting your body to start to move again and start to move that blood again. And it's, and even if you don't, if you're not ready to do the full, you can find like little face things. I just saw one the other day online that was for your whole face where you put it in the freezer and then you just stick it on. And it works with the inflammation under the eyes or in the face or for wrinkles. I'm at that age where I'm starting to get little wrinkles here and right here. And so the ice kind of helps with that. It kind of helps smooth that out a little bit. And it's- So how long do you keep that on for? The goggles, how long do you wear your goggles? I keep it on until it's not cold anymore. So it usually takes about five minutes. And then it's not cold. Do you put it around with it or do you actually lie down? I usually lie down and do it. I mean, you can walk around with it if you need to if you're fixing your kid's breakfast or doing laundry or whatever. I usually just lay down on the bed and focus and breathe because it is very cold. When you strap this, because this is a strap. So when you strap this to your head, I mean, it is like on you, you know, that it's like we're putting on Halloween costumes. Like it is like on your face. And so it's really cold when it's fresh out of the freezer, like it's super cold. And so I'll lie down and just focus and breathe through to just focus on, you know, I try to actually bring my attention. And I would do this in the cryotherapy as well. I try to bring my attention to where I was actually feeling the coldness and really lean into it and really feel what was happening to my body, to the skin, to the reaction my body was having and recognizing that that's the sign of a healthy body when there is a reaction. To that cold, to that cold ice and that cold temperature. And so, you know, you have- Sorry, I just, I noticed on some of the pictures that there were certain targeted areas that specific people were using this on. Like on the belly or the bum or whatever it might be for, let's say whatever problem areas they felt they had. So if let's say you can't do the cryotherapy, cryotherapy, right? Not cry on cryotherapy. Cryo, cryo, yeah. And you choose to do it in the bath instead. Same result. So how do you target areas then like, they would be targeting like that lady there with her belly. You can see it's red around her belly. So I've never actually, I've only ever done the refrigerator, the full body. My friend has done the targeted areas but I found doing the whole body. So if you can't afford to go to cryotherapy or do the targets or if you can't go in general because of this, which is the predicament that I'm in right now, ice bathing will have the same results, right? It's not gonna be long and done. You're gonna have to do it a few times to get the body to really kick into gear. But it's gonna create the same results because it's gonna, it's going to be creating. It's gonna be turning your white fat into brown fat. And so if you're looking vanity purposes, yes, we all have targeted areas, especially women. We want our bellies, we want our stomachs. We wanna work on our little, women often get as they get older, that little wobbly bit under their chin. We wanna work on that, cryotherapy works a lot as well. You can go and get it personalized. You can do a boob lift where they actually go and like lift your boobs, planks help with that as well too. But if you just get in an ice bath a couple of times a week, you're gonna start to see the same results because it's literally turning, what's happening is it's literally turning your white fat into brown fat. This is what happens. How many times a week do you recommend then that people take these ice baths? I would say it depends on each individual person. Now for me, I back before the lockdown, I was going about four times a week. All right, I would avoid it on like my period. I wouldn't go on my period because I just didn't wanna mess with that. Just me being superstitious with, you know, but that's up to the individual person. But I would go in, but my whole intention, since I am thinner, I don't struggle with some of these issues that some of these other people do because I am a thinner person, I'm very Vata. So I never felt the need to do like the localized stuff. So I would just go, I was going for the intention of making my body feel better, of fleshing out inflammation. But benefits happen on top of that as far as like the physicality. I mean, look at this guy. So here's a good one for a second, third. You can see how many, it took him five sessions to get there from there to there with the turning of the, and you can see the red marks. That's where he obviously had the hose focused on is where he's red, right? So you can kind of see that. And it literally, so literally it's turning the brown. So if you are a lady out there or a man out there and you wanna do this for vanity purposes, if you're like interested in actually shifting the brown fat in your body into white fat, if you take an ice bath for 15 minutes a few times a week, you'll probably see the results because you are still inducing that transfer of brown fat or white fat to brown fats. Does that make sense? You know, these people are just doing a lot of lies for a faster results. I know when they do it local, you have the thing on you for like seven minutes to 10 minutes because it's not your whole body. It's just like, so say you're a lady and you have those bingo arms, you know, the flappy arms, right? So you would go in and they would like really put the ice on the back of the triceps area of the arm for about 10 minutes. And it could stay longer because it's just that one area of the body that's being brought to this extreme cold, not the whole body. So it could be longer on that one part of the body. I have a lot of friends who've done it on their butt. You know, I will say us white girls, like white women typically don't have asses. We have very flat asses. So I have a lot of white girlfriends that go and get the cryo on their butt just to give their butt a little bit of a lift, you know? Like I said, your boobs, you can do it on your boobs to give your boobs a little bit of a lift because again, all that's happening, all that's happening is when your body is meets that intense cold over a period of time, the white fat, which again comes across visually as cellulite, that's the white fat. This is the fat that can cause all sorts of health problems, all right? It then changes. The body then, the hocus pocus magic of the body that the body can naturally do will take that white fat and turn it to brown fat, which is the healthy fat. That's the fact that again, you see high levels of brown fat in eskimos and people who live in very cold environments. And that's what caused, the brown fat is what eats the cellulite. The brown fat is what pulls the muscles in. That's the good fat. It's what gives us extra energy is the brown fat. The white fat makes us sluggish. The brown fat gives us energy. And so, and that again, that's also why, another reason why extra athletes do this a lot too, not only does it help with the recovery process of their sport and help their body recover from intense exercise or intense workouts, but it's helping their body, especially as the body ages, take the fat and make it the brown fat so there is more available and energy to the person on top of that. So, yeah, you can find so many pictures and these are like legit, like you can see on this lady, you can see the red on her belly here. Like that was obviously where they really focused the cryo from before to get her belly to pull in more because the body is transferring the fat from bad to good. And I'm sure our ancestors, we think about our ancestors, especially those of us who had ancestors that lived in very cold climates. I'm sure they had mega brown fat because they were outside laboring in cold environments without the luxury of having the heat that we have. And so their bodies, I'm sure the cellulite issue that we have now is probably more of a modern world issue because our lifestyle is so different. And so different. Then also I definitely think the cellulite issue has a lot to do with what we consume. Got an interesting question from one of the viewers. So does this help with arthritis in the spine and bulging disc? I mean, does this work with your bones, internal organs, things like that as well? So I would not rely on this to solely be your answer to... I mean, I have struggled with arthritis. I don't have any arthritis flare, haven't had arthritic flare up for years. I also have a disc that's herniated in my back. But the main thing for that with your spine, and I will say this on blue in the face is a strong core. So if you're dealing with a spinal issue, I would really, really, really focus on getting your stomach strong and then doing this on top of it. So this is just kind of the icing on the cake, right? So focus first and foremost on getting your core really, really strong. Do planks, do all sorts of stuff. I mean, like I said, I have a herniated disc and I do drop back stand up every single day now and I don't feel any back pain. And it's mainly because my core is strong because I work to keep my core strong. But this could be the icing on the cake. This could be a little something extra to help your body flush through any inflammation or any holding on that it's doing. It will help the body flush it, if that makes sense. Nice. So would you do, let's say for you would have, I'd say, let's say three times a week in ice bath, then if you're taking an ice bath, you wouldn't target specific areas over and above that. No, I would not. I would because, and now you can again, you could probably take ice packs and put them on your stomach, but it might not be as, you know, unless you're going to a professional amount, you might not be able to notice the difference as much because I'm sure theirs is a lot colder. But if you literally fill up an ice bath and you put, you submerge your body into the ice bath for 15 minutes, 10, 15 minutes, a few times a week, your body, your whole body is going to be triggered into making the brown fat. So you're going to see the results over time of the changes. It might not be after the first time. It might take a few sessions before you start to notice the changes in your body, but you are literally triggering or activating your body to do what the body is created to do in cold environments. And again, that is turning the white fat to brown fat. And so if you're doing, in my opinion, if you're doing an ice bath a few times a week, you don't need to do the localized stuff because you're already triggering your body to create the brown fat. Does that make sense? Does that make sense to the body? Yeah, it makes perfect sense. I mean, again, let's just look at our amazing and intelligent about what these are, just with something natural. And it shouldn't have to cost anyone anything. That's what I say, you know? All you have to do is get into a cold bath. You can go and buy yourself a tub and sit in it. Doesn't even have to be a fancy tub because you literally need a freezer, put it in the freezer, get a plastic tub, sit in there. Yeah, I always laugh because I always feel like God always gives me opportunities to take to level up, basically. And always before the lockdown, I always giggled about ice bathing and I was like, that's where I draw the line. I'll just go to the cryotherapy because it's only three minutes, you know? And it's not wet, it's just a freezer. But now that I can't go to cryotherapy, it's like, God's like, okay, okay, let's level you up. You were always teasing people how you would never take an ice bath because you would just go do cryotherapy. Now you can't do cryotherapy. What you gonna do now? So now I'm like, okay, well, shit, I guess I'm gonna have to order, I'm gonna have to be an ice bather because I can't go to cryotherapy right now because I don't have one of these, you know? So I see you God, I see you God. You're telling me now I gotta step it up and do the ice bathing now. And I know, I mean, so many athletes, you see, if you, back when the Olympics were big, I remember watching Olympics and seeing athletes go and get ice baths immediately after their event. You could see them on the side. So this is something athletes have done for a really, really long time. Now again, as I say, I don't want, even though there is a huge vanity proponents to ice bathing, I don't want people to do this specifically for vanity. There are so many other benefits to this. I didn't even know about the vanity side effects until like a few months into me doing ice cold therapy. I just, it just made me feel better. Do it for you for your depression, do it for anxiety, do it for your health, do it so you help your body, you're giving your body a little boost in the right direction. It's not gonna replace good old-fashioned hard work. You're still gonna have to do yoga. You're still gonna have to do your own shadow work. You're still gonna have to have your come to Jesus moments crying in the corner. Like you're still gonna have to do all of that. This is just an added benefit. This is just something to help you. It's supposed to be good. Yes, it's important to you. It's important to you through. And it gives you an immediate, like I said, after the first time, after your first experience, whether you do an ice bath or you go to cryotherapy and you get in the freezer, after your first experience, you will feel so much different in your body after you're done. You will feel a surge of energy. Like I said, immediately I realized there was a spiritual component to this. I can't put my finger on exactly how to explain that, but there's something very spiritual. It's like part, especially for those of us living in very comfortable Western worlds. You know, the United States isn't the only comfortable Western world. A lot of us are coming from very comfortable places in the world where our lives are. I mean, I'm sitting on a chair right now that's designed to make my back feel good while I sit at my desk. Our ancestors didn't have that. You know, our whole life is built around comfort. And so when we bring our body and our psyche, our mind into a place of extreme discomfort, even just for three minutes, there's some type of activation that happens. It's very psychedelic. And you've literally done nothing. You've literally, there's no drugs involved. There's no doctor involved. There's no knives involved. There's nothing. Literally you just putting your body into a cold element. And that's it. It's non-invasive. Now there are, now if you go to an actual cryotherapy location, if you do have like heart issues or if there is something that might be counter to this, I would talk to a professional first to make sure this is safe for you or you can look that up for yourself online and read about all the different, maybe counter claims. I mean, look at this lady, look at that button and that butt. It's amazing. Look, and you can see, like you can see where they've worked because the red, it's red where the body's been worked. I mean, look at this. Look at the, I know that happens a lot after you have babies and look at after the skin's tightened back up again. So it's amazing. It's just your body reacting the way it's supposed to react. This is the way the body is supposed to react when it gets submerged in extreme cold weather. And the funny thing is, is I will say, I had noticed when I was in colder climates, my arthritis wasn't as bad. I did notice that before I even started going into cryotherapy that my arthritis would not be as bad in colder climates than it would be down here in the Sun Belt of the South. So yeah, it's, I mean, I cannot speak cryotherapy like literally, there's so many things that have changed my life. Cryotherapy is one of them. It's literally, it has changed my absolute life. And I miss going, I miss going to cryotherapy. It is addictive. It is addictive. And it makes you realize like how amazing your body is because the way the body just instantly starts to react in a positive way by just giving it to like, here's a localized thing, right? So she's obviously doing a slimming tummy treatment. That's what it looks like. You just lay down, you're chatting with the woman in there just doing a little work on your stomach with ice. All it is is extremely cold. All she's putting on that woman's stomach is really cold air. It's all she's doing. There's no needles. There's nothing. It's just cold air. That's all she's doing. Let me look at this. Look at this lift. So this woman obviously is pretty fit. Her stomach's pretty strong, but it even lifted. Yeah, you can see. And that is literally, if you have a human body, that is how your body is going to react to this because it's, God, that's how God created it. We need the brown fat. We don't need the white fat. The white fat is what's killing us. The brown fat is what's keeping us alive. And so, you know, I laugh with my students a lot. It's the vanity that gets people into something healthy but I would really, to see there, it's just cold. It's just cold. That's all she's doing right there. That's just cold. That's all it is. Again, no needles are involved. If you're afraid of needles, congratulations. You found something that you can do that doesn't involve needles, doesn't, you don't have to, when you go in and get it done, you're not put under. You're not given any, it's, you're just as you are, just chit-chatting, having them work on your stomach or work on your face, you know? It's amazing. It's such an amazing, less fat, brighter skin, less fat, more you. Definitely be looking into that. See if there's anything like that around here. That's for sure. Very interesting. Maybe we should do, like, you know, but you were the ice bucket challenge a few years ago that they have people doing for like Lou Gehrig's disease. Maybe we should have people submit their pictures of them in their ice baths. Show us your toes in your ice baths. Yes, in your mittens. And this is a way you can take your help back too. This is a power move. This is a way that you can start to take control over your health in a way that's not invasive. It's not relying on medication. It's not relying on surgical things. It's literally just getting yourself cold. That's literally all you're doing. That's all it is. Yeah, absolutely. Wow. So interesting, Bryce. I'm definitely gonna be trying that for sure. Who wants to see a picture of you in an ice bath? It's winter now. So I've got to pack up a little bit of courage to do that because it's like yikes. But I love it because what you're saying makes such perfect sense. It really does. It's just like everything and yeah. And I know you say you're not a fan of cupping but I've got to say I love cupping. No, I love cupping. Cupping is something I love. I love, it's doing the same thing as cupping. It's pulling the blood up except you're not left bruised. You know, cupping you are, you know, but cupping just like cryotherapy is something on top of. Your homework. On top of your yoga, on top of everything you're doing. But no, listen, Shanti, I've seen your videos of you skydiving. If you can jump out of an airplane, you can take an ice bath. That was so fun, sister. It was so, so, so fun. That's something I want to do but don't want to do at the same time. So when I come to Africa next, I'm gonna jump out of a plane with you. That is a promise to the audience. When I come to Africa. We aren't taking you. We aren't taking you. I'm gonna jump out of the plane with Shanti and Morde. So, but if you can jump out of an airplane, not once, but twice, you can get into that. I totally, that, and ice bathing is nothing compared to jumping out of an airplane. So. That is the freakiest feeling. But I want to tell you, because I have a fear of heights. Sitting on the side of that plane. I mean, nevermind going up. You're traveling up. I think we went up to like 14 or 15,000 feet. So it's a good few minutes that you've got to travel up there. All the time you're just getting a little bit more nervous. And then of course, I did tandem jumps. So you sit with your guy on the side of that plane and you look down and he's kind of rocking and then the next thing you go. And as in that moment that you jump out of that airplane, I want to tell you, Bryce, it's the most liberating, amazing feeling. It's like all your fear just goes. I went to that intention to do it, just to let go of fear. It was a, I did a very transitional. I was ending my 13 year relationship at the time. So it was quite a transitional period in my life as well. And it just helped me just let go. I opened my mind. I can't explain my third. I just go, because the minute you jump out of that airplane, it's like your mind has no option but to let go. Yeah. I feel like spirit God has been pushing me to jump out of a plane for a while now. And actually right before lockdown happened, there was, I was looking at a place here in Georgia to just go and do that skydiving. But then all of a sudden lockdown happened. So I don't know, but listen, if you could do that, you could do an ice bath. So I'm definitely gonna do an ice bath, most definitely. I'm definitely going to. The question is, will I do it this week, next week, or maybe wait until summer a little bit? I'm not sure. I will try. I will see how brave I am, most definitely. I'm gonna order. And I'm gonna give it to you guys out there. I want to see one. I'm gonna order one of those. I'm gonna order one of those, those mobile ice baths. And I'm gonna put it outside and I'll film it guys. I will put my bathing suit on, on camera. That's asking a lot too to wear a bathing suit on camera. And I will get into an ice bath and film it once I get the bath in so you guys can see it as well because I know that's what God's doing. I can't go to the cryotherapy because I don't, you know, so God's like, well, what you gonna do sister? You know, you've got another option over here that you've always been one of. You got to be doing the summit. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. You can do it. I'm gonna say, I'm actually gonna look, I'm actually gonna look to see if they've got any of the portable ones available here. Because if they do, I might just look into that, you know, because then I might just be trying to do it because if I spend money on something, I must use it. That's my motto. And that's my thing too is like, I don't want to have. If I spend money on it, I'll definitely use it. Yeah. I don't know how long it takes ice to melt in a regular tub. That's why I thought I would just get a separate one because then it can stay and melt as long as it needs to go down the drain. So, yeah. But you guys, I would love to see our audience pictures if they're here, their experiences, if this is something that they also have participated in. But you can start slowly. You can put them on the internet and just get some little ice packs, masks. I have two of those. I can't wait to not have them put them in my freezer and I'll be walking around like Zoro the Zebra. Right. What's wrong with my costume closet? You're all right. All of these things. I walk around with oil in my hair, like charcoal pack on my face. Like, yeah, masks on my face, like doing my capping. Yeah. Oh, scraping. That's another thing is I have the cap scraped. Yeah. Yeah, it looks like you've been beating up when you're done. You're like, I promise I haven't been beaten up. I did this to myself. I did it to myself. So, absolutely, guys. Well, yeah, honestly, for everybody listening, I know it might sound crazy, but listen, you've survived one of the biggest psyops. The world has ever placed on you. If you can do it, you can survive that. You can survive ice therapy. You can survive cold therapy for sure. For sure. I think it's definitely worth getting addicted to because we hear about this from the Scandinavian countries all the time that these people, when you see them jumping into that ice water, they'll tell you it's addictive. As I said to my friend, Cape Town, he swims twice a week in the morning in these Cape Town oceans. There's a whole group of them and no wetsuits. And it's very cold, you know, since you've got to deal a bit with the brain freeze and stuff like that, but, you know, amazing. I think it's something awesome to do. You know, this for me is preventative therapy. You know, we've, all of these ancient lost ways have been stolen by modern medicine. I'm sorry, you know, and I don't want to like ridicule or just any doctors, not at all. Doctors are beautiful. Really, they are so needed in so many ways, but I do believe we as the public give our power away to doctors, way too much, way too many times. Stuff like this is preventative therapy, yoga. Are you better the way you eat, the way you exercise? Everything is about preventing bad health. So not fixing it up. Modern medicine is all about fixing what's wrong. You know, what we're doing is we're preventing things from... You're allowing your body to do what your body knows how to do. Your body knows how to do this. Cellulite isn't just a vanity thing. There's also health issues there too, and the body knows how to correct that. It just needs the environment to trigger it, to activate it, to create that profound fat. So absolutely, I agree with you 100%. It is very much along the lines of like preventative, allowing your body just to live and to do what it's supposed to do. Exactly. Body is designed to heal itself. Exactly. Yep. Yep. Yay, guys and girls! This has been so fun to have you all on this... wonderful Wednesday, wacky Wednesday, wellness Wednesday with our beautiful Brice. And I look forward to seeing you again on Monday. Yes. Where is Rising Africa? And then next week, Wednesday, we are starting to talk about tartaria. So excited. I'm sure the tartarians used cold therapy too, guys. I'm sure our tartarian ancestors... Well, tartarian nurses are freaking smart, I want to tell you, amazing. So what we're going to do is we're going to be going through the duckies and stuff that these guys have put together. We're going to be talking about that and sharing more lost truths and hidden truths that the controllers have been keeping away from us and keeping all to their greedy little selves. Yes. Time's up, tick-tock, tick-tock, time's up. We will thank you for this show. We did our gifts go, give them back right now. Give me, give me. Yeah, I can't wait, but I'm so excited. Tartaria is a game changer, it's an absolute game changer, so I can't wait to go deeper into that with you, Shanti, and our audience as well. Stay tuned next week Wednesday. We're going to be, and it'll take a couple of weeks, definitely, we're going to be going through it. It's very, very interesting. Join us for that and join us again with our beautiful Brice on Monday, on Magic Monday. And Brice is all her wonderful, amazing mystery stories that we love to hear about. So, take good care, guys and girls. God bless you all if you haven't already. Please give us a like, a share on this channel, which is Solutions with Aquarius Rising Africa and Aquarius Rising Africa. Look forward to seeing you all very soon. Take good care and go take your cold. Go get cold.
