Cold Immersion & Hashimoto's Going into Remission

3/20/2023
What if there was one tool out there that you haven't tried yet to help your Hashimoto's symptoms? We are talking all about cold exposure or ice baths with co-founder of Morozko Forge Adriene Jezick. She shares how she used cold immersion to help put her 3 autoimmune conditions into remission. Adrienne Jezick began her practice with Deliberate Cold Exposure for healing in October 2017. In 2013 she was diagnosed with three Autoimmune diseases; Hashimoto's, Urticaria, and Eosinophilic Esophagitis. That is when she began her quest for greater health. Since developing a regular DCE regimen, she has reversed all traces of Autoimmune and is now guiding others to do the same. She created The Morozko Method, a sensory immersion meditation technique for Deliberate Cold Exposure, and hosts workshops to certify other guides. She is Co-Owner and Co-Founder of Morozko Forge, the world's first ice bath. She is also the creator of The Morozko Method Podcast, sharing the healing journey of the people she meets.
