Episode Details

In this episode, I break the ice with Jason Stauffer & Adrienne Jezick, the genius minds behind Morozko Forge: the only ice bath in the world that can maintain freezing temperatures. 

I had the pleasure of visiting their HQ in Phoenix, AZ, after the infamous Texas storm delayed our Austin move. My first dip in a Morozko Forge was a mind-numbingly freezing experience. Absolute bliss. 

I took the plunge and invested in one of their models for our new house, and I hop into it around 2-3 times a day to short-circuit anxiety, beat the Texas heat, and get me pumped up before a workout. 

Jason, Adrienne, and I dive into the health and benefits of cold exposure, their innovative technology, and how their spiritual approach to ice bath therapy has transformed their emotional and physical well-being.
