Embracing Discomfort Ft. Cold Water

April 15, 2020 • Sam Johnston & Claire Ollila • Episode 4

In this episode of The Unnormal Show, Claire and Sam recount their experiences using the Wim Hof Method and cold water immersion to practice embracing discomfort. While cold therapy is known to produce a host of physiological benefits, Claire and Sam describe why you may want to practice this form of "conscious struggle" when the stakes are low (hint: so you can kick ass in life when the stakes are high).
