Cold Plunging: Teneal Tula Wright’s Journey to Health and Healing

On this episode of the We Share Podcast, Alex and Julie explore wellness with Teneal Tula Wright, a business owner and health advocate thriving while living with lupus. Teneal shares her transformative journey, which began with holistic treatments after traditional medicine proved ineffective. She explains how cold plunging and sauna therapy—known as contrast therapy—became life-changing tools to reduce inflammation, boost energy, and regain control over her health.

Teneal recounts starting small with two-minute cold plunges and gradually increasing the duration, pairing them with sauna sessions for maximum benefit. She emphasizes the mental and physical empowerment that comes from embracing this practice, which has also positively impacted her family. She encourages listeners to try cold showers or simple steps as a starting point, highlighting the accessibility of wellness routines.

Through Teneal’s story, Alex and Julie discuss how taking control of one’s health can ripple into other areas of life, fostering better relationships and overall happiness. They remind listeners to be open to trying new things and to lean on others’ experiences for inspiration. As always, the episode concludes with a reminder to share the podcast and tune in next week for more stories of purpose and growth.
