Knowledge is the key to change
Hello - and welcome to The Thermalist Journal and Community with Dr. Susanna Søberg. This is my Journal website:
I’m a bestselling international author, Phd in metabolism and expert in cold and heat exposure.
My debut book Winter swimming is out in 13 languages and Thermalist is my new book published in Danish (Denmark, where I live) in 2023.
Today I focus on science communication and teaching. There has been a huge interest in my insights in cold and heat therapy, so I started the Soeberg Institute where you can find all my information. (what is this? I’ll get back to that at the bottom of this post).
The Thermalist Journal is my extended newsletter in everything health. In this Journal I’ll dive in to various health topics to give you answers and tools related to health.
In short: This will be my weekly science digest. As an author and scientist, this is a fantastic way of teaching in real time. No lead time, just here and now interaction about health with you.
And I’m inviting you in!
For a fuller explanation: Here’s why I launched this project.
The Journal is: Learnings in Metabolism, thermogenesis, exercise, mental health, physical health - all sorts of exciting science - translated by me to layman language, so you will benefit today. The purpose with the Journal is to give you information and tools so you can act today to improve and level up your life.
The Journal is NOT: Personalized medical advice, or a Journal only about cold and heat exposure. If you’re only looking for my specific expertise in cold and heat exposure, I’ll point you to the courses I have made for this:
The Thermalist Education
Read about it in below announcement and check out the educational content on the website.
As seen in…
The Thermalist Journal is about leveraging a natural and holistic lifestyle using modern science to perform better and live healthier. My principles, science, books, The Thermalist Approach, and my clear way of teaching has been noticed and mentioned by world renowned scientists. An example and a colleague of mine is Professor Andrew Huberman from Stanford University and host of the successful HubermanLab Podcast. For that I’m truly honored.
Furthermore, my work has been discussed by comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan. His podcast is #1 most listen to podcast in the world. Yes - the biggest podcast! Here are a few examples of the episodes: The Joe Rogan experience and here. I’m grateful that my passion for science and this space is being noticed and appreciated. This gives me motivation to teach you even more of what I know.
In the broader media my work has been featured in Vogue, Women’s Health Magazine, The Times, The Wall Street Journal… etc.
I have a vision for now and one down the line for people joining the community and Thermalist Instructors (an education in the making). I can’t wait to develop the most fantastic community in this space. And I’m inviting you to come along!
There is a need in this world to do extraordinary efforts and services to combat the increasing incidence of obesity, anxiety, depression, and suicide.
I will provide you Health, Time and Money
I’m delaying writing a third book to focus on providing us with information in real time. I couldn’t do this without your support. The goal is to use the resources from this project to get the best information for us all. To devote my time to dig out answers to your questions from different scientific angels.
Hence, I’ll be offering options for subscribers to this newsletter: Free, Member, and Founders.
I want you to experience what this project is about and whether it’s worth becoming a member of The Thermalist Journal.
I’ll be encouraging everyone to become a subscribing Member. This project is supplanting my books for the near future because I think this direction is a way of working in real time - a new way as an author. The feedback and conversations are instant, whereas with my books and your feedback comes years after writing them. I’ll continue writing my third book, but both ways will work great in parallel.
The goal with the Member subscriptions is that you gain more money and time than the monthly cost.
Health is Actually Wealth!
Consider the people who finally lost weight or got back their spirit and courage to live because of something they read in this newsletter. Scientists at Johns Hopkins ran all the numbers and found that people who drop from obese to overweight or overweight to normal weight save an average of $18,000 to $36,000 across a lifetime. Or there’s the people who applies some of my principles, ideas, and digest of science from my recent newsletters, podcasts, books and Thermalist courses to their lives and business: They have increased their focus, mood, and revenue by 50 percent or more! Incredible stories. And I’m happy that my science and insights bring health and a living for people.
Time passes so quick
When we talk about time, we’re talking about getting more of it. In the present time, we all know it’s not possible. Unless it could come from cutting out unhelpful habits hindering you or clogging your schedule. Or it could be more years of life. That would in fact give you more time.
A young guy contacted me last year telling me, that my work and advice led him to believe in himself and life again. Since then, these messages are coming more and more often. The cold water seems magical in its multi-effectful ways. But it’s not magic. It’s biology, physiology - and in my journal I’ll break it down.
Different studies suggest that weight loss and getting out of depression likely adds 10 to 14 years to life. Or there are the people who started exercising again, whether through running, weightlifting or other activities. That’s giving them, on average, seven extra years.
But it’s of course not just about money and future years. It’s about living better—right now and that’s the key to live better for longer. That’s how you get more time! Again, that’s the tense of living, that we’re after.
