Send us a text


Ever braved the icy waters of Iceland for enlightenment, or even
thought about it? Joshua Church, co-founder of Edge Theory Labs,
did just that only to unearth the transformative power of cold
therapy. Through our interview with Joshua, we unpack his
remarkable journey, from the toasty climate of San Diego to the
ice-cold waters of Iceland, and how it led him to co-found Edge
Theory Labs. Together, we explore how cold therapy has the
potential to build mental fortitude, flush out lactic acid, and
help the nervous system adapt to stress, offering a new approach
to recovery and wellness for athletes at any age.

Joshua shares how Edge Theory Labs knocked out the guesswork and
heavy lifting by creating an all-in-one, portable system for cold
baths. For those of you new to this, Joshua kindly dishes out a
beginner-friendly dose - a two-minute session at 55 degrees
Fahrenheit, just enough to dip your toes into the world of cold
therapy. We also dive into the nitty-gritty of optimizing cold
water immersion, including how to adjust protocols and
temperatures to align with various goals, and the profound
effects of full body immersion.

While we all know children thrive with a bit of rough and tumble,
have you considered cold therapy as part of their wellness
routine? We delve into the physiological benefits of cold water
immersion for young children and caution it should be a choice,
not a forced activity. Joshua reveals the intriguing human
survival instinct and the higher percentage of brown fat in
babies. Ultimately, we share Edge Theory Lab's vision to conduct
peer-reviewed research studies, pushing the boundaries of
knowledge on cold therapy. This episode is a must for those keen
to explore the icy world of cold therapy - so wrap up warm, and
join us on this intriguing journey!
