Wim Hof Method allows you to rapidly establish a relationship between your body, mind, and self that will help you break addictions and live your life with optimum vigor and vitality. You will become intimately familiar with your inner strength and ability to leverage your conscious will to achieve almost anything, especially self-healing. Your self-awareness will increase dramatically in a relatively short amount of time.

It is that powerful. It’s a system shock that quite literally shakes you awake and puts you back into the command seat of that body and mind of yours, in the fewest number of steps, and without pills or psychotherapy.  

“Become strong, happy and healthy,” the Wim Hof way.

The Wim Hof Method can help you become a better version of yourself faster than any other known therapy modalities on the planet (without using plant medicine). It is the most-aggressive method listed in the Ultimate Healing Guide.

Wim Hof is a Dutch extreme athlete known as “The Iceman” for his ability to withstand extreme cold, which he attributes to his Wim Hof Method breathing techniques based on Tibetan Tummo meditation but without its religious components. (1)

He holds world records for withstanding extreme cold and performing mind-over-body athletic feats such as climbing Mt. Everest wearing only shorts, running a full marathon within the arctic circle wearing just shorts, or running a full marathon in the Namib Desert without water.

Mr. Hof has contributed to substantial scientific evidence that we can voluntarily override our autonomous systems, including our immune system, the integumentary system (which helps to regulate body temperature), and the endocrine system, which helps regulate cellular activity and metabolism.

The Wim Hof Method includes a particular form of deep breathing, sometimes referred to as “controlled hyperventilation,” combined with extreme cold exposure, plus a mindset of focus and commitment to self which will unlock our inner primal powers of health and longevity.

This method, as developed by Wim Hof, may be the fastest possible route to a dominant connection with your mindbody and real-life implementation of your willpower over pain, fear, and anxiety. The practice usually includes full-body immersion into frigid ice water (think glacial ice water). It tests the limits of your mindbody connection by forcing an immediate and intense concentration of your awareness of self, perhaps as a way to prevent hypothermia from kicking in.

There are tiny muscles which can contract to restrict the flow of blood surrounding our blood vessels in our skin and tissues. This controlled exposure to extreme cold exercises those little muscles around the capillaries within our skin, and strengthens our entire cardiovascular system.

Cold therapy, also referred to as cryotherapy, is used by athletes, trainers and healthcare professionals to treat acute injuries and speed recovery. Use of cryotherapy can include ice packs, ice massage, or standing mostly naked in nitrogen-gas cryotherapy tanks at -240 degrees Fahrenheit, and is intended to reduce metabolic rate, inflammation, circulation, muscle spasms, and pain.

Cold and pain cannot coexist within your nervous system. Not if the conditions are cold enough. It is also a proven fact that pain requires your attention for you to notice it.(4) When the cold is extreme, two primary things happen to you. 1) you cannot help but shift your awareness and attention to the cold and away from your pain, and 2) your body has an extreme reaction to extreme cold.

If the weather, water or air you expose yourself to is sufficiently cold, as it usually is with the Wim Hof Method, your body might treat it as an emergency and start procedures that would save your life if done under other circumstances. Since you won’t be staying in the extreme cold long enough for hypothermia to begin, the action of using this modality exercises most if not all of your internal systems. Done correctly, this is incredibly healthy activity could add years to your life.(5)

When you remove your body from extreme cold conditions, especially if you have been laying on snow or submerged in glacial-like ice water, your skin will become flushed red. The color indicates your surface capillaries are opening up to warm your skin, where moments before they were constricted to restrict blood flow to your extremities.
