Wim Hof shares how breathwork and cold exposure can regulate stress, inflammation, and mood, offering a science-backed path to resilience and mental health.

Wim Hof shares his personal journey through trauma, grief, and emotional pain—and how breathwork and cold exposure became tools for regulating stress, inflammation, and mental health. He explains the science behind the Wim Hof Method, including its impact on the nervous system, immune response, and inflammatory markers, and why training the body to relax under stress can restore resilience, mood, and inner strength.

Dutch extreme athlete, Wim Hof, got his nickname ‘The Iceman’ by breaking a number of records related to cold exposure, including: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts, running a half-marathon above the Arctic Circle barefoot, and standing in a container while covered with ice cubes for more than 112 minutes.

Using ‘cold, hard nature’ as his teacher, his extensive training has enabled him to learn to control his breathing, heart rate, and blood circulation and to withstand extreme temperatures.

Armed with his motto, ‘what I am capable of, everybody can learn, Wim Hof is convinced that everyone can tap into their inner potential without having to invest the same decades' worth of study, travel, and daring.

Wim has made it his mission to share what he’s learned with the rest of the world. And so he developed the Wim Hof Method: a combination of breathing, cold therapy, and commitment that offers a range of benefits.

With his Wim Hof Method, he teaches people from all over the world, from celebrities and professional athletes, to people of all ages, to control their body & mind and achieve extraordinary things.
