Welcome to Healing Beyond Your Diagnosis—where today’s episode takes you straight into the cold… literally and figuratively.
Dr. Jason West is joined by his lifelong best friends, Scott and Jordan, for a raw, real, and unexpectedly hilarious journey into the world of ice baths.
This isn’t about wellness trends or social media stunts. It’s about discovering what you’re really made of when everything in your body screams “Get out”—and you stay anyway.
What began as a last-ditch effort to help Dr. West’s son turned into a nightly ritual of freezing water, floating snow chunks, and deep personal transformation. You’ll hear how their DIY horse trough experiment evolved into a mental toughness training ground, a tight-knit brotherhood, and a life-changing practice that rewired their mindset, immune system, and perspective.
They share their first terrifying plunge, the unexpected physical and emotional benefits, how cold therapy taught them to face life’s hardest moments, and why choosing to do hard things on purpose might be the greatest act of self-love there is.
This episode is about confidence, resilience, laughter, and the beauty of doing something ridiculous, painful, and powerful—together.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, unmotivated, or unsure if you’ve still got it in you… this is your reminder: you are stronger than you think.
You’re not your diagnosis. You’re your decisions. And today, we’re choosing strength—one ice bath at a time.
