The Judean Cold Plunge (Cold Exposure Therapy) - Jeremy Gimpel: The Land of Israel Fellowship

hey guys so i was asked about the cold exposure therapy that i spoke about a few months ago and now that the weather is so beautiful and sunny in the mountains of judea in the summertime um what do i do now to experience the cold and all of the benefits of it so i just wanted to show you what i've been doing for the last i guess three months or so so come check this out this is our man cave this is my office down here below and so um when the sun started heating up the natural water around here um i started taking cold showers but then i realized that the cold showers although they were quite great the water up here on the mountain just doesn't get that cold because the pipes are not that deep underground and the water just it's cold but it's not it's not cold enough so what i did was um do you see this what looks like a table is actually a lying freezer and so i got this freezer online here in israel i think the price was probably about 300 and so what i did was i lined the freezer here to make it waterproof filled it with water and now yeah that's that's cold and so if you see right here we call this a shabbos clock well normal people call it a timer and it goes on at about um one o'clock in the morning it goes off at six o'clock in the morning and then the water is just right below freezing or right above freezing and so every morning after my just time in silence and after my exercise i get into the freezer so i have my trusted camera woman here tehila and i'll just show you what that looks like so i got my stopwatch here do i want to do this who wants to go into freezing cold water but then every day i look at something that i don't want to do and then i choose to do what i know is right and so um i go in for two and a half minutes one way and then the last 30 seconds full immersion and um it's cold so here we go see the water's so cold that i can't put my toes fully in the water it's kind of like floating in the dead sea if the dead sea were in the north pole so i just now stay here in the cold my body is in total panic mode it's like oh my gosh your body's in freezing cold water quickly help this idiot get out of the water and now it's sending all of the energy the hormones the endorphins what are they called the cold shock proteins though they're called old shock proteins and they're sending it all over everywhere now to help me get out of this freezing cold water and i just kind of absorb it and the world is a painful place and i'm just kind of like accepting that as the reality accepting it being in it and so what we'll do is we'll fast forward this just a little bit so you don't have to sit here watching me suffer oh hey jeremy i forgot to press record you're gonna have to do this all over again so wow that's the way to start the morning it will change your day no question about it now you know i'm i'm an intense guy i think that's pretty clear now i'm an intense guy it was hysterical watching your guys faces at that that was so fun for me this is such an entertaining fellowship where can you find a fellowship that is this entertaining and so just but i want you to know that getting into the freezing water it helps me it helps keep my intensity alive and it didn't doesn't feel good while i'm doing it but afterwards it feels so amazing i wouldn't do it if it didn't feel so good afterwards it's like a happy pill in an energy drink without any bad side effects totally natural and it's also like the it is the way of our ancients to immerse in water every morning for purification and that stuff purifies you i think that that's clearer right now but um you know i used to get sick every winter and it's it seems to charge up your immune system and that's in just in the discipline of the practice of self-authority just every morning the self-control it's just really beneficial and so every morning i teach my body and i remind myself who's the balabait who's the master of this house here who's the master of the domain called my life it's not my fears because i'm scared to go in the water every single morning and it's not my body there it's not the master it definitely doesn't want to go in that discomfort it's my higher self that wants me to have my best day so i set that straight in the lower desires they have to get in line with the higher desire and that's how i start off my day and it's just a qualitatively better day and i feel like i just have a moral responsibility to bring my a-game to life as much as i possibly can and so that's the answer about my culture hi my name is jeremy gimpel a
