Description

Episode 50 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast is all about cold exposure and why we get phenomenal health benefits when we expose our bodies to cold.Our bodies get stronger when we stress them. Exercise is stress to our muscles, tendons, and cardiovascular system, and after we stress, that kicks in the body's adaptation process to repair and grow stronger. One of the most fundamental and primal stresses is temperature. That’s why, every morning after I hydrate, I do a three-minute cold plunge in a cold tub my friend built me out of a big chest freezer.And that’s what I want you to consider — getting yourself a cold plunge or at least taking some cold showers so you can see the health advantages of cold exposure. The first thing that happens when you expose your body to cold is you get a stronger immune system. It has been well documented that the white blood cells that are the champions of our immune system increase in a good, healthy way when exposed to cold. So if you're looking at maximizing your immune strength, you’ve got to listen to this episode. It's not just about nutrition, sleeping, and exercise … cold exposure is one of the best things you can do for a stronger immune system. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg (see what I did there?) regarding the myriad health benefits of cold exposure!In this episode, you’ll learn: The massive benefits of cold exposure.How it improves your body's stress response. How to become more stress resilient.The keys to decreasing inflammation.Improving your physical performance and recovery.And so much more!So, if you want to get the most from your health and fitness efforts, listen to this episode on cold exposure, take some notes, and check out FM30X! What is FM30X?FM30X is a simple, sustainable, and specific weight loss program that is designed especially for busy women over 40.

It is no secret that Mothers are truly the unsung heroes of today’s families. The amount of work, errands, tasks, and support mothers do day in and day out is never-ending. It’s keeping the household and family running. It’s planning birthday parties and family activities. It’s running to the grocery store while waiting to pick up the dry cleaning. It’s making sure the kids and spouse have everything they need… often putting themselves and their health last. It can feel like an Invisible Burden... an evergrowing weight carried on the shoulders of many moms. And our society expects mothers to carry this load without question. What happens when we carry additional weight…? Our bodies are stressed and challenged in a magnitude of ways that can lead to stress, poor health. The Invisible Burden can lead to weight gain, constant low energy, hormone imbalance. It can lead to being stretched beyond reach. What’s worse is that hardworking mothers like you bearing this burden, are often not seen or acknowledged for carrying the contributions and the acts of the family. If you’re a stay-at-home mom, society often expects you to carry the invisible burden without question. If you’re a working mom, you’re also expected to carry the invisible burden just as much while working to provide an income to your family. You have so many important things pulling you in different directions that it often means you put yourself… and your health… last. I’m Dr. Anthony Balduzzi, Founder, and CEO of the Fit Mother Project and the host of this podcast… and I get all of this. Growing up… my dad died when I was 9 years old… and my mom became a widow with two young boys… and she had to fight to raise us and keep our family together. I started the Fit Mother Project and created this podcast with the sole purpose of helping create stronger and more powerful mothers through losing weight without restrictive diets, crazy workouts, or the image of “being perfect.” Our Fit Mother team has helped over 10,000 women become a stronger more fit version of themselves and we know this podcast will help you do the same on your journey to a better you. You can take care of your family and work… and still make time for yourself and your health. I’ll show you how XYZ. It’s time for you to put yourself and your health first.
