Why cold still wins at activating human brown fat

A Cell Metabolism trial pits a beta2-adrenergic drug against real cold exposure — and only cold switches on human brown fat, leaving the drug’s extra calories to come from somewhere else entirely

Why moose retreat to cold water once summer arrives

Moose start overheating at temperatures most animals would call mild. With no efficient way to sweat, they rely on shade, wet ground, and cold water immersion to survive the hottest hours of a boreal summer — a strategy now under growing pressure as northern summers warm

Winter Expedition: Sweden: five days with Wim Hof in the Arctic wilderness

From 6 to 11 December, Wim Hof leads a five-day expedition into Swedish Lapland — daily breathing sessions, ice baths, and frozen-lake hikes, based out of a mountain lodge in Åre with a chance to see the Northern Lights.

The strange power of cold: how atomic clocks keep perfect time

In physics labs around the world, atoms are cooled to within a hair’s breadth of absolute zero to build the most accurate clocks ever made. Heat blurs an atom’s true signal through motion and background noise — cold strips that noise away. The same underlying logic, stripped of its noise, echoes in a much more human practice

The hidden mechanics of breath: what neuroscience reveals about structured breathing

Every breathing session pulls on levers connected to the heart, brain, and immune system. Here’s what current research actually shows about how slow, structured breathing changes autonomic tone, cerebral blood flow, and cerebrospinal fluid movement — and where the evidence still runs thin

What newborn seals reveal about the body’s capacity for brown fat

A new study finds that harbor seal pups retain a fully functional heat-generating protein, while elephant seals have lost it, pointing to body size rather than aquatic life as the deciding factor in brown fat thermogenesis

Breathing and perception: how exhalation sharpens awareness

A new neuroscience study finds that breathing and perception are more tightly linked than previously known, with people unconsciously timing their breath to the moments that matter most, and exhaling at exactly the point when both internal and external senses become sharper

breath retention Cuvier's Beaked Whale

Cuvier’s beaked whale and the biology of extreme breath retention

A Cuvier’s beaked whale once stayed submerged for nearly four hours, a feat that defies basic calculations of oxygen capacity for its size. Research into the physiology behind that dive — particularly the carbon dioxide tolerance that governs the urge to breathe — offers a biological reference point for understanding breath-retention training, including approaches developed by Wim Hof

Brown adipose tissue thermogenesis in ruminants: What new research reveals

A peer-reviewed study maps the thermogenic mechanisms of brown adipose tissue in ruminants — opening new questions about how mammals regulate heat from within and what cold exposure protocols can activate
