How Cold Should a Cold Plunge Be for Women?
Temperature is the setting that matters most for women. Josh keeps the water between 55–60°F, which he says raises cortisol a little without the hard stress of very cold water. He also pays attention to the time of the month and to how recovered someone feels that week. On a training day, the order matters. Josh plunges first, warms up and trains, then finishes in the sauna. On days without a workout, he says you can start with either one, as long as you finish with cold. Sauna heat has a ceiling too. Josh keeps infrared saunas in the 140s and a traditional hot sauna between 180–200°F, and he warns against going past 200°F. Start slowly, and check with your practitioner first if you have a health condition.
Dr. Peter McCullough on Spike Protein, Recovery and the Vaccine Schedule
Antibody levels guide his treatment decisions. Dr. McCullough uses the COVID-19 spike antibody test as a stand-in for spike protein exposure. In his practice, levels below about 1,000 rarely call for treatment, while higher levels, especially above 5,000, lead him to recommend a clearance protocol. His detox base is two oral enzymes plus curcumin. The protocol he has published pairs nattokinase and bromelain with curcumin, taken on an empty stomach. Because nattokinase and bromelain affect clotting, he tells patients to tell their doctors, especially before any surgery. He wants vaccines matched to clinical needs. Dr. McCullough argues that vaccines should follow individual risk, such as hepatitis B for babies born to infected mothers or pneumococcal vaccines for people without a spleen, and that parents' decisions about their children should be respected.
Is It ADHD or Something Else?
Is it really ADHD, or is something else going on? If you've been told your child's focus problems are ADHD, or that your own anxiety, brain fog and poor sleep are "just stress," this conversation offers another way to look at it. In this episode, Dr. Jaban Moore talks with Dr. Stephanie Rimka, DC, BCN, a chiropractor board certified in neurofeedback who practices in Atlanta. She explains brain waves in plain English, shares what she looks for before assuming a diagnosis, and describes why she believes the brain needs the right foundation before neurofeedback can work. Dr. Jaban also shares how gentle brain-calming tools have fit into his work with highly sensitive, complex chronic illness. In this episode, you'll learn: → What neurofeedback is and how brain waves relate to focus, anxiety and sleep → Why Dr. Rimka says ADHD can look like other things, from sleep loss to nutrient and environmental factors → What she has observed on live brain scans of children watching screens → Why she starts with sleep, food and nutrition, and sometimes pauses neurofeedback while the body catches up → Why Dr. Jaban calls neurofeedback "physical therapy for the brain" → How in-person and remote neurofeedback can differ, and how to find a qualified provider → How the brain can build a new "road" when it's stuck in an old pattern
