The question should be why isn’t there any peer reviewed cold shower research going on?
@exshadowkick5564 1 December 2025 at 05:16

Cold shower when I wake up, nice hot shower/bath before I sleep.
@pierre-alexandregrondin3677 1 December 2025 at 05:16

After taking a cold shower I'm 1 inch taller each time
@zack2zack215 1 December 2025 at 05:16

That lady is a quack. Why don't you do your own research and take cold showers it's simple enough. Why not use your own experience instead of someone else's study
@petecross22 1 December 2025 at 05:16

This doctor is wrong. There are peer reviewed studies that absolutely confirm the benefits of temperature resiliency in the human body.
@valortheory 1 December 2025 at 05:16

These people who make fun of the benefits of cold showers don’t understand how it has helped countless people
@TheHumanBodyTalk 1 December 2025 at 05:16

What a great video. I gonna break this down in a video! I hope you will like it. + 1 sub 💯💯
@michaelpaton8818 1 December 2025 at 05:16

Cold showers are cheaper than hot.
@michaelpaton8818 1 December 2025 at 05:16

Cold is bold.
@wearydingo4453 1 December 2025 at 05:16

What a moronic response.
@james14078 1 December 2025 at 05:16

Last place I’d take advice from is a news group
@derekjp33 1 December 2025 at 05:16

She's just not aware of any peer-reviewed studies because she doesn't care. I highly doubt she checks each month to see if any new peer-reviewed studies have been produced.
@danieloltean2759 1 December 2025 at 05:16

The only think I see in this video it’s zero health experts .. actually these ppl in the video need some healthy advises 😀😀
@steveward2394 1 December 2025 at 05:16

There is science behind it.
@tenhebrewexecutioners341 1 December 2025 at 05:16

Been taking at least 3 cold showers for 7 minutes per week…new study submerge in ice cold water in like it's Jan 5 watch ailments go away, Neuropathy, cell rejuvenation, etc.. did I say since 2012 start with showers then ultimately end up in the tub… what you scared
@jared3047 1 December 2025 at 05:16

I started taking cold showers and I walked out the first time and was expecting the same feeling of drowsiness that I get after taking a hot shower. Didn't feel that way. You feel alive, ready to go, stimulated, and also healthy. It's the way to go.
@emilyulanbekova 1 December 2025 at 05:16

Other than the health benefits you’ll also spend less on your energy bill.
@ethancowart6765 1 December 2025 at 05:16

there actually is scientific data and studys that show health benefits of cold showers
@johnmcdonald100 1 December 2025 at 05:16

Their IS plenty of scientific data on the health benefits of cold showers and cold water immersion. Take a look at Wim Hof.
@miks2639 1 December 2025 at 05:16

"no conclusive peer-reviewed scientific or medical data that says it does anything amazing for you" Is probably the biggest cop out of answering the question as a medical physician…
I can google right now and find countless studies showing an increase in metabolism, adrenaline, endorphins, acclimation to cold temperatures, reduction in inflammation quicker muscle recovery, immune function cognitive performance… the list goes on and on, sounds and feels pretty "amazing" to me (whether they are peer-reviewed idk and idc there's so many of them I don't think that matters) she coulda just said she's not well informed on this topic and encouraged people to go inform themselves!! 😀
@simonstrba7686 1 December 2025 at 05:16

Cold showers have no scientifically proven health benefits? I guess Wim Hof is just a very good actor.

@Andros1990 1 December 2025 at 05:16

Oh really no conclusive medical data? This woman is a quack. I was having anxiety so bad that it raised my heart rate earlier I went in a cold shower and my heart rate went back to normal. Having a medical degree or license means nothing.

@deanmuhl7417 1 December 2025 at 05:16

Cold showers boost memory. I took a cold shower once and I've never forgotten the experience!
@anxietysimplifiedpodcast3489 1 December 2025 at 05:16

terrible talk about cold showers, she has no idea what she is talking about
@keithconti6057 1 December 2025 at 05:16

UPDATE: THE CDC is now saying cold showers cause heart attacks.. to many dieing by heart attack on young age.. they need to blaim something.

@haydave4884 1 December 2025 at 05:16

Our ancestors took cold baths and showers and we’re all here.
@michaelgeorge4607 1 December 2025 at 05:16

She doesnt know. All this doctor knows is what big phrama allows her to know in med school
@84coleR 1 December 2025 at 05:16

She doesn't like them therefore there is zero medical evidence to suggest they're beneficial……………….
@rory616 1 December 2025 at 05:16

I shut it off when i heard covid 19..🙄
@stephenfricke9298 1 December 2025 at 05:16
