Oh wow my favorite subject, will be digging into this one!

Thank you Daisy, this is so interesting to me!

Will have to go back to Part 1 because I missed it!

This was great! Regarding cold water therapy, I remember watching Yes Theory’s YouTube video a while ago where they trained with Wim Hof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cvhwquPqJ0&t=57s (apparently I don’t know how to link a youtube video) :upside_down_face:

I found the stuff about breathing techniques especially interesting. If I’m remembering correctly, Wim Hof’s breathing technique involves basically over-oxygenating your body by taking deeper breaths in and shorter breaths out. I tried this and felt a little boost of energy and kind of a whirring in my brain. I was careful though, because in Yes Theory’s video I remember it looked like this caused some sort of seizure-like symptoms for one of the guys during the breathing exercise (yikes!).

I also really liked Raphi’s response to the question about the protein controversy that seems to take up so much space in discussions right now. It was at around 32:30 in the part 2 podcast if anyone’s interested.

Another random thing I found interesting was that Raphi mentioned that he thinks adipose tissue should be considered a part of the immune system. I suppose everything’s connected so maybe this isn’t that big of a revelation, but I am super interested in the link between obesity and a stressed immune system. It’s too bad all this stuff is so f-ing complicated. I guess it’s the figuring-it-out part that keeps things fun though :blush:

Cold water or delicate women? :rofl:

I find it fascinating and have toyed with the info so many times that I really must get my act together and try it properly! Cold water therapy that is, not delicate women!

Yes spot on and he makes a point of saying you should do it whilst lying down. I watched a video the other day with some guy doing it who seemed to be over egging it a bit TBH. When I saw Wim Hoff doing it it seemed a lot more restrained.
