This is the aquarium chiller that I mention in the video that I have: amzn.to/2mqU45Q This will cool your water to less than 40F. It does take some time with a full tub of water so just plan ahead.
You'll also need a submersible water pump and this is a solid one: amzn.to/2mUzfO0
And the 3rd thing you need is 1" flexible tubing to connect the chiller to the water pump. For some reason it's pricey on Amazon and I got it from pretty cheap from Home Depot.
How to adapt to the cold in 2 weeks or less. Using the Wim Hof method / Wim Hof Breathing Technique along with a few hacks, you can cold adapt in 2 weeks or less.
It's a very simple 3 step process.
The first step is cold water face dunks. This sensitizes your trigeminal nerve to cold and sends a signal to your brain and this prepares your nervous system for the cold. Once you can keep your face submerged in ice water for as long as you can hold your breath you are ready for the next step.
The second step is placing a large pack of ice on your torso. Do it over a t-shirt or compression shirt and once your skin starts to adapt you can do it directly on your skin. Start with 5 minutes and do this everyday until you can do it for an hour.
The third step is full body submersion in cold water that is 55F or less. Outside is ideal but if you can't find a place then your tub will work.
Do the Wim Hof breathing method before these exercises and you will adapt even faster.

I realized that part of the reason I hate winter is that I hate having to bundle up so much. I’m trying to think of ways to avoid that. 😂😂😂
50 F/10 C
My advice from month and a half of the experience, to the beginners, if you are completely inexperienced with cold showers please do not push yourself and don't shower with all the way cold water (what I mean by this is cold water which stings and is physically painfull to endure) Instead level out temperature and adapt your self to cold water through out month slowly! This will condition your bodey and when you finally go for all the way cold shower you can indure it and stay in it as much as you like. Now if you are some what experienced with cold showers but still shiver like a bunny wabbit after shower congratulations you are doing it completely wrong! Here's step by step guide: 1st of all it is mandatory that you do wim's breathwork right before shower (preferrebly shirt less) make sure you really get into it to the point where you can sense your veins tingling and feel light headed (if you can't achieve that anymore with wim's method there are plenty other breath works to activate dmt, just make sure you do wim's method before any other). 2nd step mentally prepare yourself, if you don't feel eager jumping into cold shower and you are forcing yourself into it, that means your body isn't conditioned and you will end up having negative effect from shower! You must excited to be jumping into cold, thought of it must be putting smile upon your face. 3rd step listen to your body and Maintain breathing which is the most comfortable (for me it is when I inhale fast hold it for second or two and slowly release it) maintain this type of breathing until you are done, in clothing and outside of bathroom. Here's an optional 4th step: stand in shower first before opening the water, face shower so cold water can hit your face and chest right away then start rotating, this may sound frightening to some but it's the best thing to do believe me.
Make sure to follow these steps closely, I hope it helps! Best of luck and best of life! Take care.
That was amazing
And this will make me feel less cold all the time? Is that what’s meant by “becoming cold adapted”? I’ll try anything. I’m cold all the time during winter and I hate it. I want to be one of those ppl wearing shorts outside in winter.
Great pointers! I'm on my first week. I took the coldest shower today. I wish I could of measured the temperature at the hotel I stayed at. But it was cold enough to make some numbness on my body. The hardest part of my body to keep cold is the center of my back.
Awesome man...keep it up! It's such a great feeling when you get done. Try breathing into that area and giving it your attention. Explore and be aware of the sensations on your back and see if that helps
Does it work?
Thanks for the video I started with 1 min on feet ice water and after watching wim hof doing his hands in ice water I did 6 mins one hand at a time after 90 secs it gets painful but concentrate on the breathing have a break then do the other hand hope this helps somebody just finished wk 9 wim hof method.
You mentioned to staying in 5min to start. I saw Wim Hof a couple of weeks ago and he said to start we should not do more then 2min and then build up from there , also the way you heat yourself after is important as not to create afterdrop.
How should you heat yourself after?
very good point.I took a 5 minute shower last week [as cold as it gets], the shower I could handle but a few minutes later I started shaking uncontrollably.I went to bed with two comforters covering me completely and I was still shaking and ice cold... when I got up I had pretty bad flu like symptoms and they lasted several days. I still like the showers but I`m not turning it all the way down and making sure I have plenty of layers of clothing on afterward.
@@johnkennedy3970 that's hypothermia. That was my experience 5 years ago. It was on my third week of win hof showers. I stayed under the cold for too long on a short night's sleep. Stopped daily win hof after, and dont push yourself too far. Acclamation takes a long time.
Thank you for talking about afterdrop. I have experienced it a few times and I didn't know it had a name.
@@j.brandon7402probably taking a hot shower or bath would be the best way along w hot tea. Just to equal back out. Then just remember not to go too far the next time.
Do not look at the screen. Look at the camera. It makes you look more connected with your audience
Guy Fawkes nice tip 😂 go become a youtuber lol
@@Narayan he cant he was burnt in November 🤣🤣
@@NepaliSher101 that's bad. CZcams wants that quality consistency 👑im mega ultra giga super giant big fan of MrBeast he's my brother. I analyzed his channel yesterday, daumm man, videos that are a month older have all about over a 100M views. It's insanity. Pure motivation once again. 👑
Thank you Nathan for the tips! 👍
Be sure to put them to use!
50f is 10c. I took a cold shower at 3c.
Is a cold shower colder than pool water? I’m trying to increase my tolerance to cold for a future pool party.
It depends on the temperature. Full body cold submersion is superior to a cold shower
getting ready for my first winter in colorado. it’s only september but i was car camping last night and at 9500’ it can get cold at night. felt like i was going to freeze to death
Always be safe when cold adapting. For example, in the winter I rarely wear a jacket but always have a warm jacket & boots in the car in case get stranded or something like that
@@NathanWalzso me being lazy in winter and just running to the car for my errands is actually adapting me? That’s good to hear! I’m tired of having to bundle up so much living up north. My southern ass isn’t used to it! It’s too many things to keep track of too. Hat, gloves, scarf, and layers. The laundry in winter is off the charts up here.
I want wear shorts bare legged in the polar vortex without getting frost bitten do know anything that will help because the wind chill can be -40 or lower.
Do you have hairy legs? I bet that helps. 😂😂😂
@@threeofeight197 some black people have hairy legs. But I wear shorts bare legged when its cold&snowing outside&when the windchill is subzero.
Hey will I get cold bones frost bits or sever sick or anything bad ?
Hello, you totally could get frostbitten if you expose yourself to too luch cold.
Doing cold showers atm. Is there more value to shower the head or face apart from mainly focus on the body?
When you get cold water on your face that actually increases cold adaptation. You have your trigeminal nerve there and when that gets cold it sends a signal to your nervous system that helps sensitive your body to the cold. I'm sure there are other benefits to getting cold water on your body so I would do both
@@NathanWalz oh man I need your help because I'm losing my mind . I live in Michigan and it's cold and snow and now I'm dealing with cold tolerance and every time I drink something cold or be inside and outside the cold I get cold sensations in my head which I know that's a nerve right? So how can I stop the triggering ?
@@juliusSooLA Not sure what that is. Have you done face dunks? Start with cool water and slowly decrease the temp to tolerance
What if your chest is not flat? Will a bag of frozen peas work?
SaintTrinianz I would use ice from your waist up to your chest and then above your chest. Avoid ice on your breasts unless you want them smaller because ice destroys fat cells
I started with cold showers, but after I feel really cold during the rest of the day... Any advice?
Start with the water a little less cold and shorten the duration and slowly increase as you adapt. Also doing face dunks in ice water will help speed up adaptation to cold
is putting the face in cold water safe for people who have sensitive sinuses or people with history of sinusitis?
Yes, should help. Star with slightly warmer water & move towards colder water as tolerance increases
I wonder how the chiller would work if you chilled with ice first then just used the chiller to maintain the temperature? How noisy is the unit and how much energy does it use?
donindri yes that would work. The colder the starting point the less work for the chiller. It does make some noise but not super loud
Nathan Walz Great, I have a freezer, I’m having problems with leaks. I bought a portable Japanese style bathtub on Amazon for $80. It’s just made of rubber, but works fine. I covered the drain with flex tape and insulated it with the foil covered bubble wrap used to insulate hot water heaters. Only lost a degree or two overnight. If I don’t get my freezer sealed better, I may get the chiller and have a good or even better alternative. The bathtub is actually roomier. Thanks
donindri good deal! Cold thermogenesis is such a great practice with so many benefits
How much was your chiller and how long does it take to cool the water? What brand? My tap water is mid 60s right now. Thanks!
This is the aquarium chiller I have - amzn.to/2mqU45Q but with 1/4 hp. It takes several hours to cool the water and really depends on the starting temp. If you can afford a 1/2 hp or higher I would go with that
This does NOT sound like good advice for beginners. These are great ideas for people who already have some experience and understand how to find their body’s cold tolerance level. Please don’t shock your body. Practice conditioning your body, mind and especially your heart gradually, safely.
Do people born via cesarean surgery not have the dive reflex?
Is this why I choke on water so much?? XD
You still have it. One possibility is poor vagal function. You can try gargling a small amount of water at a time and slowly build up. This does take some time just like working out once doesn't build muscle so stick with it
@@NathanWalz thank you! I was just making a joke, but that's actually really helpful!
