Welcome to the Mind Theory Podcast—your go-to source for unraveling the science behind the way we think, feel, and experience the world. In this episode, we tackle a question we’ve all wondered: Why do some people always feel cold, while others seem to overheat no matter the season?

Join us as we explore the fascinating physiological and environmental factors that shape our perception of temperature, including:

The role of age and its impact on metabolic rate
How sex differences influence muscle mass, hormones, and body temperature regulation
Body size and fat composition’s effect on heat retention and distribution
Common medical conditions like hypothyroidism and Raynaud's disease
Why "normal" body temperature is just the beginning of the story

We’ll uncover the science behind these differences and provide practical tips for managing your comfort in any environment.

Whether you’re a science enthusiast, curious about how your body works, or just trying to stay comfortable, this episode will keep you engaged and informed.
