The Science of Hibernation
1:23:26 - 1:34:00 (10:33)
The podcast discusses how hibernators have big patches of brown fat and fat at certain locations that are critical, around the heart for example, while humans have brown fat compartments around our body that are activated by shivering to increase metabolism.

Shivering can increase metabolism by activating brown fat in our bodies, but it can only take metabolism up three to four times resting.
1:24:54 - 1:27:11 (02:17)
Summary
Shivering can increase metabolism by activating brown fat in our bodies, but it can only take metabolism up three to four times resting. Exercise, on the other hand, can boost metabolism up to 10 times resting.

The idea of putting ice packs on the upper back as a way to stimulate brown fat thermogenesis may be misguided, as there isn't a lot of brown fat located in that area of the body.
