Ready for a 5-day cold thermo challenge...?
Welcome to GreenNote Fitness Reflections.
Each month I share with you what I’m doing for longevity - to live my life fully with joy while serving others.
We will deep-dive into optimizing brain function and mitochondrial health while
maintaining strength and balance of body, mind, and spirit.
Sitting with a group of women (pre-pandemic) for breakfast, they asked me what I do specifically for my health. I happily explained my foray into “cold thermogenesis”, taking hot and cold contrast showers, and wearing an ice vest. Touching upon some of the many benefits including fat loss and immunity boosting, they listened with an open mind and curiosity.
The next morning every single woman I previously had breakfast with had completed a hot and cold contrast shower. I couldn’t believe it! It’s not something most people are accustom with doing in our culture. It is definitely outside of our comfort zone but it has so many benefits - benefits that I have long been encouraging my clients to embrace. Admittedly, my recommendation has been met with a lukewarm reception...
I am hopeful that will change with this 5-day Cold Thermo Challenge August 3rd - 7th with my friends at Kion. You see, the benefits of regular cold exposure include:
Immune support
Improved athletic recovery
Increased fat-burning potential
Enhanced mood and cognitive benefits
Boosts mental strength, resiliency, and stress adaptations
Ready to step out of your comfort zone, improve your cognition, improve your immunity, and join over 15,000 people who have already signed up for this free challenge?

What’s all this business of getting cold? Cold showers? Cold baths? Cold ice vests? It may seem trendy but cold exposure and claims of the health benefits go back to around 400 BC. Clearly not something new but it may be new to you. So let’s get comfortable with being uncomfortable and give this challenge a whirl.
My friends at Kion have put together a fantastic ebook that explains everything you need to know about cold therapy. If you click on the link here you can sign up for their free challenge and in turn get the ebook and daily tips and tactics. Additionally there will be a live Q & A. There will be many people doing the challenge so you won’t be alone.

The ebook is very well written with a quick look at the history of cold, the science behind the claims, and exactly how to do it based upon if you are a beginner or well-versed. What I like in particularly about this information is the language around mindset and intention.

Set your intention as a family, get some ole-fashioned grit, you know, like our grandparents had, and tackle something challenging head-on, knowing it’s only going to make you stronger.
