For sure his body weight will fend off the cold a little longer. Don't understand the concept though of improving his health by getting down to below freezing.

I do agree with the assessment of being "nuts"

After a warm shower I turn the hot water off and let the cold water run for a second over my feet only. I have warm feet all night long. Our water here is "river water" and is very, very cold.

I do that also. I’ll have a hot shower, wash my hair and rinse with cool water. I find it invigorating

If he is Really on a "health journey", losing a Bunch of excess weight should be his highest Priority, Based upon the picture, I would estimate that he is about 100lbs. overweight.

I have also read about doing the cold water treatment, but I definitely do not want to do what he is doing ! However, when we go to the fitness center, I am in the hot tub for about 5-10 minutes, and then into the colder water of the swimming pool, which feels like ice water after the hot tub.
My body definitely get the “polar plunge effect” when I do this, and that is as close as i am going to ever get to doing the cold water bath at this time in my life.

Here is some information on how the cold water after a hot shower can help our health.

If he manages to get that water down to 30F as a liquid without adding any kind of salt or antifreeze, assuming he is not at an altitude of 2 miles or higher, let us know as it will be a breakthrough in science!

He is nowhere near 100 pounds overweight but losing weight was and is part of his journey.First,a year ago,was to stop drinking alcohol as he felt it had no place in what he was/is trying to achieve. Along with that came some automatic weight loss. Now he has added healthy eating to that. His biggest issue-at least to me-is that he is a workaholic. In the past two years,he has gone from earning a good living working for someone else for 20 years to starting 3 or 4 businesses and is now a millionaire. He is out the door at 4:30 a.m. and goes til at least 7p.m. Fortunately,he is also discovering that mini vacays are nice too,because I really worry about how driven he is.

Most of his working life has been spent operating heavy equipment-hence the upper body bulk.

I hope your son-in-law gets the results he's aiming for. I also hope he cuts down on his working hours, so that he's around for a long time to enjoy his wealth.
