In this episode, Dr’s J and Santhosh bring to a conclusion their 12 Days of Xmas series discussing cold and how we adapt to it. Along the way they cover directionality, catching cold, an unfortunate fictional frontier family, humidity effects on infection, the healing power of soup, cold adaptability, winter metabolism, brown fat, temperature nomenclature, and international new years customs! So Sit back, relax and stay warm while we teach you about cold physiology!
