Cold Shower Protocol

Taught by Master Chief Navy SEAL Stephen Drum, our Cold Shower Protocol is a training program that teaches mental tools under stress, so they kick-in automatically under actual times of stress.
Build the habit
New to cold showers and need direction
  • Learn mental tools needed to conquer the cold
  • Develop the mindset to defeat stress and discomfort in everyday life
  • Motivational stories and a healthy amount of F-bombs
Keep the habit
Keep conquering the cold and level up
  • Track your weekly time under the cold to achieve maximum results
  • Train with more advanced tools to achieve mental clarity under stress
  • More cold, more motivation, still a healthy amount of F-bombs
"This shit works."

"Not just saying that because I'm the CEO of Mental."

Founder's story

Co-founder, CEO
When I was young, two close male relatives of mine killed themselves.



This experience drove me to pursue my PhD in Neuroscience, and to build the Calm app. I've seen first-hand how our cultural conversation around mental health is not resonating with men. It's not geared towards men. Men commit 80% of suicides, so to solve this crisis, we must innovate on new ways to help men.



I founded Mental because I care deeply about helping men realize their full potential, using science-based and action-oriented tools. The tools we use at Mental are beneficial not just when you're down, but also when you're already excelling and looking to find your edge.

Out of all the 20,000+ mental health apps out there, Mental is the first one designed from the ground up with men's needs in mind.


We built it for you. Meet the Mental team.
