Joe Rogan - ALWAYS Do This When you Cold Plunge

body has to use its natural Machinery to heat back up in talking to her recently I learned some really interesting things that I've been incorporating first of all I've always avoided putting my head under until the very end in the cold turns out that if you put your face in the water right as you go in you activate the mammalian dive reflex and this reflex increases the so-called parasympathetic activity of the autonomic nervous system which is just nerds speak for it lowers your heart rate it makes you calmer and it makes you better able to tolerate stress so try this next time go you could even just put your face in before I go right under you go right under so that's the right way to take my nose I go right on so I didn't know this a lot of people that do deliberate cold get headaches they don't feel good and a lot of times it's because they slowly immerse themselves up to the neck and then right at that interface of cold and hot it it creates change vasoconstriction right below a little bit vasodilation above they get headaches they don't feel good the heart rate is way too high putting your face under isn't that anxiety though I just feel like that's all psychological I really do because there's there's a moment when you get in the cold where there's a part of your brain that goes let's get out of here you can get out of this if you will just get out right now and you got to go shut the [ __ ] up but if you don't say shut the [ __ ] up then that thing runs rampant through your brain and that kicks your heart rate up and that kicks your anxiety up I really think it's psychological well it's psychological and it's physiological so here's physiological because of psychological absolutely uh absolutely so here's what we know for sure for the first 20 to 30 seconds of cold shock when you get in just how it's described that prefrontal cortex that normally has the job of handling context and says shh to the reflexes of the brain and the impulses of the brain is not active for 20 to 30 seconds so your reflex to get the hell out of there is very there's a clear and logical reason for that after that 20 or 30 seconds the forebrain starts coming online again that's your opportunity to start negotiating with yourself of oh this is actually good for me this this is I can handle this I got through that so I can get through the next one what I've been doing recently is trying to not go for time but going for the only way I can describe this would be walls like sometimes just getting in the thing there is a wall for me it's like okay I got over one wall just getting in the damn thing then like oh God here it comes forebrain's shutting down I'm like panicking I'm gonna get through this and then I'm watching for when I have the impulse to get out and what I start to notice is that the the gaps between those walls start getting longer and longer the more you do it the more you have one at your house I do yeah and then pretty soon what's happened how cold is it uh it's hard I I suppose it's probably in the low 50s what low 50s or why is it so warm I don't know low 50s High 40s why do you do that stay in there longer I don't know well we have two I confess we have the Morocco one which is that one's really cold and that one is you avoid that one sometimes like to go in the sauna first I don't like what I'm hearing well here's the thing I've been doing longer exposure in the warmer one that's so much easier though it is we had one here that was kind of broken and it was at 54 degrees okay that's timed in I'm like this is a [ __ ] job what 50s okay you know all right listen 34 34. yeah you and Kim Haynes um listen I Like It where the ice breaks I just got done out of another thing and it floats to the top you realize I just uninvited myself on the the campaigns hunting trip because he was like you should come hunting I've never gone but I think he'll probably just say I'm almost until I get down to the 30s on these cold flunges no I did a workout with him I went up there I was sore for two weeks those High rep weight workouts yeah they're insane yeah he does a lot of that stuff yeah like I'm a slowly
