There is SO much information on fitness and nutrition out there - and I get it - did we really need ANOTHER guy making a podcast? I hear ya. But here's the thing - most of the fitness/nutrition information out there is just noise. The average person who wants to get in shape doesn't need more noise - they need clarity. They need it to be easier. They need a lower barrier to entry. And that's what this podcast is - an attempt to lower the barrier to fitness.

40: Ice Baths: Overhyped Trend or Legit Recovery Tool?

MATTI IS BACK and today, we are back behind the mic to break down the cold hard truth about ice baths. Do they really speed recovery? Help with fat loss? Boost mental toughness? Together we dig into the science, call out flawed studies, and share when (and if) cold water immersion actually makes sense. Expect myth-busting, practical takeaways, and plenty of laughs as we cut through the hype so you’ll know whether to jump in - or skip the tub altogether.

Timestamps:

30:45 For mental toughness?

41:15 When do they make sense?
