“Can I just stand naked in the garden at 0 degrees or do I absolutely need an ice barrel?
“Is it true that the ice bath trend is increasing the incidence of kidney disease?
“What do back pain and breathing problems mean after ice bathing?
“Are the effects of a -85 degree cryogenic chamber comparable to those of ice bathing?

“Is it better to stay in the water or out of it?
– Thank you very much for your questions about our current episode “Mega-Trend Ice Bathing: How cold stimuli strengthen body and mind. Matthias Baum from the HEALTH NERDS science team provides answers here in the consultation hour.
On the main episode: Ice bathing – why do people do it voluntarily? And what does it do to the body and mind? In this episode, we – literally – dive into the world of ice bathing! Cold applications promote thermoregulation and can increase stress resilience. In addition, ice bathing activates the sympathetic nervous system and significantly increases the release of dopamine,"" explains Matthias Baum from the HEALTH NERDS science team. He describes what happens in the body at the moment of immersion in the ice-cold water: The blood vessels contract abruptly, the blood from the arms and legs is diverted to the inside of the body, protecting the organs from the cold. At the same time, the body activates brown adipose tissue, which converts energy, sugar and fat into heat.
We take a detailed look at various types of application, such as whole-body, face and neck baths, palm cooling (hand rubs) and the combination of heat and cold in the form of traditional Kneipp alternating baths.
We also shed light on the science behind the Wim Hof method: are there any contraindications or dangers? Why do many ice bathers report a „rush of happiness“ after the bath? Are there different protocols for women and men? What role do breathing techniques, oxygen intake and carbon dioxide release play? And what techniques can beginners use to approach ice swimming step by step? HEALTH NERDS. Man, simply explained.
After each regular episode, you can simply send us your questions via Instagram Direct Message as a voice message or via text. On the following Thursday you will receive the answers in the HEALTH NERDS consultation hour.
