Reloaded | Wim Hof on what we can learn from pain.

Listen in app
Wim Hof is a Dutch extreme athlete, adventurer and world record holder who created The Wim Hof Method to help people unlock a host of physical and mental health benefits.
While Wim is an extreme athlete who has climbed into the Death Zone of Mount Everest and completed a full marathon above the polar circle in just a pair of shorts, his method is accessible to anyone.
It’s based on three pillars: cold therapy, breathing and commitment and with consistent practice Wim has shown its ability to increase energy, improve sleep, reduce stress, heighten focus and determination, increase willpower and strengthen the immune system.
And for anyone who, as I often as my guests on the podcast, wants to see the data, he welcomes scientists to scrutinise and validate his claims.
In this episode @iceman_hof and I discuss:
The power and fortitude that exists within us all and how to access it.How the benefits he felt from cold exposure and breath work is now being validated in labs under clinical supervision.He isn’t a ‘freak of nature’ anyone can do what he does.Why a ‘cold shower a day keeps the doctor away’.How forcing yourself to experience discomfort, such as cold, only amplifies the pleasure you feel from the warmth.Why it’s vital not to limit yourself; sometimes pushing your limits is where you find out who you are.Why failure is a vital part of life and how to handle it and learn from it when it happens, and so much more…Please use caution and seek advice, where appropriate, when attempting any exercises, especially in water.
