Hormetic stressors, like an ice bath, can briefly spike biological stress, followed by ease and recovery, lead study researcher Elissa Epe said.
The researchers are also looking into gentle meditation, exercise, and hypoxic breathing to compare their stress relieving benefits.Epel said her research stemmed from her own experience with the Wim Hof Method, which involves exposure to extreme cold, yoga, andWim Hof, also commonly known as the Iceman for his advocacy of ice water dips, is the man behind the method, and his fans include Gwyneth Paltrow, Oprah Winfrey, and Justin Bieber.
Epel found that the method significantly reduced her own stress threshold, so she recruited Hof to teach his technique in her study.
