From the Archives: The Mental Health Benefits of Cold Therapy

My Most Authentic Life

Dec 20 2023 • 29 mins

As we prepare to launch new episodes in January, we’re revisiting some of host Fede Vargas’  favourite episodes from the archives. In this episode, Fede interviews Kara Whipkey, an experiential marketing director who turned to ice bath cold therapy as a part of her mental health journey. Whipkey shares how mental health issues not only affect one's emotions, but daily habits and ways of coping. When the live events industry halted due to COVID-19, Whipkey lost her job, forcing her out of her comfort zone and onto a plane to Mexico. She discovered ice baths and breathwork and found it one of the most effective methods to address her mental state. Her transformative journey aligns with the episode's theme of cultivating mental health awareness, living one's most authentic life, and the importance of fulfilling promises to oneself for personal growth and self-worth. A recurring message is the call to normalize and destigmatize conversations about mental health and self-care routines.
