Carson Daly's Ice-Cold Secret for Better Mental Health

Imagine diving into freezing cold water every day for a year. That's what Carson Daly, the 51-year-old host of "Today" and "The Voice," has been doing to boost his mental health. He shared this unusual secret at the Project Healthy Minds Gala, where he stood alongside his colleague, Savannah Guthrie. A year ago, Daly was struggling with both his mental and physical health. He made a promise to himself to get better. That's when he discovered the power of daily ice-cold plunges. Daly has a special cold plunge set up at home.

The water is a chilly 40 degrees, and he spends two minutes in it every day. It might sound tough, but Daly believes that challenging himself in this way has made a real difference. Even after a year, he admits that it's still hard to do, but he finds value in facing tough tasks. Guthrie, who has also tried the cold plunge, agrees that it takes courage to jump right in. The event was filled with stars like Chance the Rapper and Demi Lovato. Daly attended with his wife, Siri Pinter, and their teenage son, Jackson.
