Inner Insulation (livestream #12)

Wild swimming in winter (or cold showers) as popularised by Wim Hof and others seem to help poor circulation, inflammatory disorders, depression and many other issues. In this Livestream I discuss my thoughts on these practices and show and tell some of the little herbal hacks I use to help recover from cold exposure!

I recall reading that extracts could specifically increase blood flow through the coronary arteries, if I find the reference I will post it! <a href="https://analyticalsciencejournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/pca.2800030108">https://analyticalsciencejournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/pca.2800030108</a>

Winter Blues (livestream #11)

DIET EVANGELISM (livestream #10)

Many people espouse dietary beliefs which are perceived as rigid or extreme. In this livestream I mull over some thoughts on diet dogma, where it comes from, and some of the positives and negatives of food-focused beliefs.
