“What I am capable of, anyone can learn.” -Wim Hof
Wim Hof — "The Iceman" — is internationally renowned for his countless ice
endeavors that range from being up to his neck in a cylinder filled with
ice cubes for over 90 minutes, swimming large distances under polar ice,
running a marathon barefoot to climbing the Everest in nothing more than a
pair of shorts.
Wim has pioneered a practice of breathing and cold immersion that has
allowed him to set countless world records and can help you to harness your
inner strength and achieve robust health & well-being.
In this episode, Wim shares from the heart on his journey confronting the
cold and how his practices can help you become a better version of yourself
in a very short time period. Our conversation was particularly powerful for
me, as I’ve been playing around with Wim’s breathing and cold immersion
techniques since we’ve spoken and have felt immediate positive effects. I
share a bit about my experience so far in the beginning of the show!
I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!
