Jeffrey Hartford was diagnosed with a tumor on his kidney. His doctor urged surgery.Jeffrey refused.In this podcast, Jeffrey describes his decision to treat his tumor himself, using diet, light hygiene, ivermectin, fenben, and ice baths. He explains his metaphysical aspects of healing, emphasizes the power of belief and the impact of fear on health. Jeffrey advocates for a paradigm shift towards empowerment and holistic healing, encouraging others to embrace discomfort for better health outcomes.His latest imaging shows his tumor is shrinking.https://www.morozkoforge.com/ice-bath-science/categories/cancer-cold-water-therapyThomas Seager PhD is an Associate Professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering at Arizona State University and CEO of the Morozko Forge ice bath company.

BYU Biology Professor Paul Reynolds, PhD delves into the complex topic of glycation, its effects on health, and the mechanisms behind insulin resistance.

He explains how glycation inhibits the function of other molecules in the body when glucose becomes attached during blood glucose spikes. Vision and immune function can suffer.

Moreover, Reynolds explains how it is glycation of fine LDL particles that makes them dangerous in heart disease, and not the LDL cholesterol itself.

The conversation also explores strategies for preventing glycation, including cold plunge therapy.

Thomas Seager, PhD gives an overview of the many benefits of cold plunge therapy, including the human specie's aquatic origins, testosterone and prostate health, insulin resistance, and metabolic health. If you're looking to start a cold plunge practice, this is a great place to start.

This episode is a live recording from Prof Seager's presentation at the Salt Therapy Association Convention in 2025.

In this episode of Uncommon Living, Thomas P Seager, PhD, and Stephen Cunnane, PhD discuss the intricate relationship between brain physiology, nutrition, and metabolism. They explore the critical role of omega-3 fatty acids, the importance of fat in infant brain development, and the impact of dietary choices on cognitive health. The discussion delves into the significance of ketones as an alternative fuel source for the brain, the role of mitochondria in energy metabolism, and the therapeutic potential of ketogenic diets for conditions like Alzheimer's disease.

Thomas Seager, PhD talks to a panel of Wim Hoff certified instructors organized by Miles Lukas about how daily ice baths reduced his prostate specific antigen (PSA) and boosted his total testosterone. He explains the mechanisms of sex hormone synthesis in the mitochondria and the science behind how cold plunge therapy can rejuvenate mitochondria to boost sexual performance, fertility, and hormone levels in men and women. Skip around for the Q&A after Professor Seager's lecture to cover topics like cold plunging while pregnant, the unknown secret to thermal contrast therapy, and shivering.

Martin Picard and Thomas P Seager, PhD, delve into the intricate world of mitochondria, exploring their roles beyond energy production. They discuss how mitochondria influence human health, mental well-being, and even cancer dynamics. The dialogue also touches on the relationship between energy, information, and consciousness, proposing that our understanding of biology must evolve beyond the mechanical view of the body. The conversation culminates in a discussion about the epigenome and the potential for mitochondrial therapy to influence gene expression, suggesting a paradigm shift in how we approach health and healing.

In this conversation, Thomas P Seager, PhD, interviews Denis Blondin about the fascinating world of brown fat and its implications for human health. They discuss the recent discoveries surrounding brown fat in adults, the mechanisms of non-shivering thermogenesis, and the role of cold exposure in activating brown fat. The conversation also delves into the relationship between brown fat and insulin sensitivity, the potential for targeting brown fat as a therapeutic approach, and the connections between brown fat, thyroid hormone, and mental health. Throughout the discussion, they emphasize the importance of understanding brown fat's role in metabolism and the benefits of cold exposure for overall health.

Thomas Seager, PhD and Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO discuss mitochondrial remedies for cancer, different treatment options, as well as why children get cancer.
