Are you chronically fatigued, always cold, or struggling to recover from post-viral burnout? In this episode of The Integrative Blueprint, Julian and Claire step into the Mudgeeraba clinic of Dr. Reece Yeo to unpack a revolutionary framework for health: Thermal Resilience. Moving beyond the idea that body temperature is just a symptom to be suppressed, Dr. Yeo reframes it as Governance—the foundational operating system of human biology. Using the "Greenhouse" analogy, we explore why your metabolic furnace might be flickering, why your "pipes" are blocked, and why modern "thermal monotony" is making us more fragile than ever.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Furnace: Why Han Dynasty medicine identifies the Heart as the body's primary furnace.
• The Heat Distribution Pipe System: Bridging ancient pathways with the modern discovery of the fluid-filled "piping" system that distributes heat to your cells.
• The Wellness Trap: Why excessive sauna use can actually "leak" your battery power and the truth about "Pathogenic Frost" in ice baths.
• The Gender Gap in Cold Exposure: Why women achieve peak metabolic benefits at 14-15°C and why going colder can actually trigger hormonal crashes.
• The Order of Operations: Why you must restore your furnace before you ever try to "biohack" with extreme temperatures.

Whether you're a biohacker looking for the next level of performance or a patient seeking a way out of chronic depletion, this episode provides a clinical roadmap to stoking your internal fire and rebuilding your resilience from the foundation up.
