Does anyone else think that ‘Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof’ doesn’t belong on the BBC?

I am really enjoying bits of the ‘Freeze the Fear’ programme, but keep wondering where the scientists or doctors are and why they aren’t making more of the beautiful and fascinating location.

Does the BBC still try to ‘inform, educate and entertain’ or is this Channel 5esque reality tv format with Wim Hof (surely, today’s Gillian McKeith) what passes for information, education and entertainment in 2022?

DH says that I should stop mourning the programme they could have made and start celebrating what the BBC have made. To be fair, there are moments when it is quite compelling.

Wim Hof isn't Gillian McKeith. There's studies that show his work has a positive effect on mood. Exposure to cold alters your neurotransmitters over time.

I know this because I beat depression partly using this method.

In addition, cold showers potentially help with autoimmune disease. This is because they increase adrenaline, which suppresses the immune system.

I was able to avoid medication for autoimmune disease partly by using cold water therapy. It got me out of a flare and into a better state of health.

I think if you're afraid of heights just getting up on the bridge was an achievement but they didn't show that part.
