1:02What causes a human being to gain so much fat? What are the main factors? So that's if people stop moving. So if people are not exercising enough, not moving enough. If they eat unhealthy kinds of fat, which is processed food these days. Unhealthy kinds of food and too much of it. so there's like if you don't burn the calories that you take in it will convert to white fat and the body is per like that's how we are built we want to survive okay so that's the body is just built to survive and because you used to starve right at moments we had fasting periods back in the days where we don't have all the food available all the time but we do today so the food the body is calling for food all the time as soon as you just get after a few hours or four hours five hours you get hungry and the more you actually eat the more the white cells are sending a signal to the brain that you need to eat because otherwise you would tear off from the white fat and you need that kind of storage so the white fat is actually something we need but we don't need that bigger storage right right yeah so we try to like figure out how can we lose weight but not with any more drugs because in my opinion we have enough we have enough pills in the world even for obesity and for type 2 diabetes we also need to think about how can we help people not get this obese so exercise is definitely number one thing that we need to do but on top of that, it seems that if you use cold and heat therapy, then you can also boost your metabolism even more and top that off.

2:51And that's going to also tear off some of the white fat because you also activate the brown fat. And back to your question was that what is the difference between these two tissues? So to say it very short, the white fat is storing your fat in the body and the brown fat is using the fat in the body. So the brown fat can eat off the white fat. So we want more brown fat. Yes. And we want the brown fat to be healthier, it sounds like, or more efficient so that it can burn the visceral white fat from our body. And I think I'm hearing you correctly that the internal fat that's in our organs or inside of us sounds to be more dangerous than the external fat that's on the outside.

3:33Is that correct? Yeah. So we could have a little fat on the outside, but a lot of fat on the inside and still be not well. Is that right? That is, yeah, That is so true. And actually, if you start being inactive, that is the first place around your inner organs where the white fat will put itself. So you cannot maybe see it at once that you're getting fatter, but you can maybe see that your fitness level is going down. And you can see that you are maybe also getting more out of breath easier if you do a run or something like that. But that is telling you that you are not as fit as you were before.

4:11And correlating with that is increase in white fat. And it starts around your inner organs, which is the most dangerous kind of fat storage, you can say. And then it also puts, as you said, on the outside. Excess, yeah. On the outside. Yeah. So when you were doing these interventions and studying cold therapy and heat therapy, what was it about cold therapy that you was a big aha for you when you started to either apply it with case studies and with yourself practicing this what was the research telling you about the power of cold therapy and activating the brown fat the metabolism losing weight all these different things oh my god it it told me a lot it told me something on a scientific level but also on a personal level because when I was researching this reading everything I could around this doing my own research in it started also doing winter swimming myself and that is where I learned how this is actually connected because I was reading how is our physiology affected how is the biochemistry affected and I did understand that and I did understand how is our neurotransmitters activated and how's the brain and how is the physiology and also the psychological effects of this.

5:33But when I saw the winter swimmers, it didn't really match what I read. So there was something missing there. And only when I started doing this myself, I understood, aha, it's the connection between what is going on in your physiology and your brain and that brain body brain connection I felt that suddenly and also this increase in gratitude I think it is yeah so when I felt that I was like now I understand the happiness afterwards why do people go into the water with another mood but get out in completely another mood I could not understand it really but I did when I started doing this myself I would say it was painful at the beginning but once you get over that you increase your pain threshold that's what you do then you start to enjoy it and you can then feel the neurotransmitters increase you cannot feel them increase but you feel the effects of it afterwards and then what you've thought about before is not as important or as bad as it was when you go up from the water so I think that transition I did not understand from the research but I understood it when I did it myself.
