“But WHAT increases norepinephrine? Lots of things! Cryo & cold-water immersion (up to 5-fold) being among them! I just recently released a report that talks about how cold stress boosts this very interesting neurotransmitter and hormone known as norepinephrine.”

“People who were conceived in a cold vs warm environment had enhanced brown adipose tissue activity leading to better adaptation to overnutrition and cold stress. This phenotype appears to be paternally transmitted via epigenetic changes in sperm cells.”

“This 20-page report explains how cold shock is a type of hormesis, which is a description of a type of stress that, in the right doses, is enough to shock the body and kick off adaptive processes and response mechanisms that are hardwired into our genes, and, once on, are able to create a resilience that actually exceeds what was needed to counter the initial stimuli.”

“These experiments revealed that TXNIP knockout mice had lower body temperatures after cold exposure than normal mice, suggesting that their brown adipose tissue was less effective at producing heat under stress conditions.”

“Melatonin exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties that protect against respiratory failure associated with other viral pathogens in animal studies. For example, melatonin ameliorates respiratory syncytial virus‐induced lung inflammatory injury in mice via inhibition of oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokine production.”

“Pierre is friends with Wim and explains why Wim is able to withstand cold temperature for prolonged periods. We also discuss how meditation, social isolation, stress, and inflammation affect metabolism, inflammation, and the endocrine system.”

“Thermal stress including hot water immersion (to improve blood flow via heat) and cold water immersion (to reduce soreness and inflammation). In addition to temperature, the hydrostatic pressure of water has an added benefit for recovery.”

“They subjected one-half of the rats to cold stress (which has been shown to impair reversal learning), and the other half was left in a non-stressful environment. Then they tested both the stressed and non-stressed animals' reversal learning capacities.”

“Unlike white fat, brown fat is a metabolically active tissue that is rich in mitochondria. It helps maintain body temperature during cold exposure, during which its uptake of glucose is eightfold higher than that of muscle tissues.”

“In addition, vitamin C halved the incidence of the common cold among people experiencing heavy short-term physical stress – an indication that vitamin C might also have other effects on people experiencing heavy physical exertion.”
