In this week’s podcast, we discuss a fat loss technique called adaptive thermogenesis. This technique can increase your metabolism, allowing you to burn more calories everyday without doing any extra work. Topic of the podcast starts at the 10 minute mark. 

So how do you take advantage of adaptive thermogenesis??

Cold exposure!

Simple and easy! Simply take a cold shower everyday and watch your metabolism increase.

To learn more about the science of adaptive thermogenesis and the awesome benefits of cold showers (such as increased endogenous antioxidant production, anti-tumor effects and an improved immune system), listen to this week’s podcast!
