Light Up Your Metabolism

Want to Reverse Insulin Resistance and Heal Your Thyroid? You need to get Cold. with Thomas Seager, PhD | Episode 280

Danielle Hamilton, FNTP

Dr. Thomas P. Seager is an Associate Professor at Arizona State University, engineer, entrepreneur, and founder of Morozko Forge—the world’s first ice bath designed for deliberate cold exposure. His work spans engineering, resilience, hormesis, and human optimization. Through both science and personal exploration, Dr. Seager teaches how stress—when used intentionally—can transform the body, regulate the mind, and deepen emotional healing.

His unique approach merges Stoic philosophy, trauma-informed healing, and the neuroscience of environmental stressors. He’s a pioneer in showing how ice baths, fasting, heat exposure, and movement can recalibrate both the nervous system and the soul.
