GARY BRECKA On Cold Therapy   GARY BRECKA On Cold Therapy

If you don't already know him, Gary Brecka is a human biologist, mortality expert and founder of 10X Health Systems.  Having sent shockwaves through the industry recently for his work with Dana White (and other top celebrities, entrepreneurs, and world leaders), Gary has become a bonafide expert in the health space—specifically in the longevity & preventative medicine niche.  Among his top protocols for both longevity and metabolic health: deliberate cold exposure.  We've scoured the web for some of Gary's best content on deliberate cold exposure and wrapped it into an easy-to-follow guide, so you don't have to!  Cold Shock Proteins  "We used to think most of the benefit of getting into cold water was from the anti-inflammatory properties... We now realize that that's only about 15% of the main benefit of cold plunging. The majority of the benefit actually comes from something called a cold shock protein." -Gary  CSPs (for short) are a unique protein released by the liver to help the body adapt to, you guessed it, cold temperatures. They also: Scour the body for free radicals (cell-damaging unstable atoms in the body), which in-turn rejuvenates your cells, giving you that youthful vigor and protecting you from aging-related disease Increase the rate of muscle-protein synthesis and glucose metabolism, meaning enhanced lean muscle development, optimal carbohydrate response, improved recovery, and leaner overall body composition Aid the body's natural inflammatory response—reduce aches & pains, improve injury recovery, aids in soft tissue healing and regeneration. Not to mention, keeps your skin bright, flush, and glowing! Enhance the body's natural cellular healing process even as you age, you'll notice you're recovering faster and operating at a youthful capacity  In short, CSPs are like your own built-in "steroid" (for healing of course)—released by the liver when exposed to uncomfortably cold temperatures.  Metabolic Effects   "Nothing will strip calories off a human being like getting into cold water will." -Gary    According to Gary, cold water exposure is essential to activating your metabolism and turning your body into a fat burning machine—mainly through the conversion of white (stored, visceral) fat into brown (usable) fat.    In addition, your body requires a relatively high expenditure of calories in order to warm your body and maintain processes under *extreme cold conditions—hence the metabolic benefits.    To paraphrase Gary, "since a calorie is the measure of energy required to raise 1 cubic centimeter of water by 1 degree centigrade, calories are really a measure of heat… When heat is leaving your body, calories are leaving your body…    There's nothing, no amount of cardiovascular exercise or weight training that comes anywhere close to immersing yourself in cold water in terms of what will strip fat off your body—fast."
