I really liked the course and as someone who has been practicing cold water exposure it has given me the insight that i am on the right track. Especially with the research I've done myself on the nervous system and Vegas nerve. Thank you for the course and i will be recommending it to anyone interested in learning about cold water exposure.

Thank you very much for such an amazing course! I completed all the modules, read through most of the studies and Youtube videos as well, and completed the test.
I enjoyed how you brought in your personal connections and anecdotes into the course content. It made for more engaging learning of the material.
I am looking to start offering ice bath and breathwork classes at my apartment building in NYC as there are no natural bodies of water to jump in for free! I have been doing cold showers and ice baths for the past 2 months and really feel the mental and physical benefits. I hope to be able to teach others and create a new community!
