I started suffering from horrible panic attacks last year. I couldn't drive, couldn't do my job, and all I thought about was when the next attack was coming. Then I found this man, Wim Hoff. I started taking cold showers, and walking in shorts and a t-shirt in the winter. Within 2 months, I had zero stress, anxiety, and most importantly, the panic attacks stopped. Without Wim Hoff I would be in a dark dark place in my life, but now I'm thriving.
@@merabbram5688 I've fell out of practice in the last 3 months. I tend to have less anxiety and panic during the summer. But my exercise is still at a high level which helps. My mind does not do well in the winter, so this month I have to get back into cold showers and cold plunges to get ready for the cold seasons. I still maintain the breathing and cold showers, mixed with exercise is the best cure for panic attacks in the world.
SOon you will be let down by Wim, he is only a man like us, sinners, the only one who will never let you down is Jesus Christ. Ask God if he is real in the name of Jesus Christ and he will respond, It doesn't hurt to ask. just ask! You might never get a chance like this again, and if you do, TAKE IT!!!
Actor teaching people to have cold showers for when shit hits the fan when we will be having cold showers without a choice .wim froze his eyeballs swimming under ice bollocks wake up he is a mason
I never realised how much I was dragging myself around every morning until I started cold showers! The aliveness you feel is next level, plus they make my stone cold house feel warm 😅
I can't say enough about how profitable the cryptocurrency market is. Especially if you have a professional manager who is good at what he does, your income can exceed 100% .... My cryptocurrency income bought me my dream home.
@Jason Xavi You have to get in the right program. Also you have to know what coins are going to be the "New Bit Coin." That's where you make your money. For example I bought Etherium a few years back when it was $250, sold it when it hit $3K.
Wim's cold shower / swim has helped my brain heal from a traumatic brain injury. After a long cold shower my balance improves, my eyes improve and my speech improves. I now walk around in the snow wearing a sundress after my cold shower and it is GREAT. In the past I was always cold and now I never experience cold. I LOVE it!
hello i also suffered from tbi a little over a year ago i got meningitis and nearly died but im alive. my balance suffers sometimes so looking for ways to improve it . do you find cold showers help consistently with improved balance ? thank you
@@Jacob-fj7xp Hi Jacob and thank you for your question. For a year out, you are doing amazing by the fact that you can use a computer and type. It took me 2 years to understand the difference between a fork and a phone and that each had a particular function. So, I am truly impressed with your progress. When I started taking cold showers, I would enter the shower with warm water streaming down and gradually turned the temperature down during the shower. I kept it cold for a few minutes and got out. I started noticing that my balance improved and started turning the temperature lower and sooner into the shower. Now, my brain is programmed to recognize that the cold is my friend and I start it cold and never raise the temperature. I then walk around in the snow, with boots on and only a sundress and I LOVE that my brain is so alive and my day improves so much after that and I am never cold, never! This will help you and is easy if you don't approach it with thought of how cold and uncomfortable it is going to be. I also swim in ice water and love that as well. You CAN do this, you CAN.
Wow. I always wondered and was worried about my beautiful niece in the winter. She dressed very revealing with a short sexy low cut dress & no sleeves. It looked like she was freezing, but every time i offered her a sweater or a jacket she said, no and that she was ok. I guess she was used to the cold.
Started taking COLD SHOWERS in 1974, I was 15.... met an old Indian guru....he dropped knowledge on me 1974... I'm 63 now .. every morning out of bed right into the COLD SHOWER ....5 minutes.....the colder the water the better... I live in montreal canada ..............
@@MarieC82 No Just Turn on THE COLD WATER, Squirt a little on you Front & Back & Get In..... Getting in The warm water then Slowly go to COLD is For COWARDS.. This is To Build Character as well as Health....Marie.... GO FOR IT !!!!!
Took my first cold shower this morning. I was half dancing of the shivers, but the result felt great ! After the shower i felt warm, alert and fired up and ready to go for the day. Highly recommend.
been doing this for a week. I FEEL SO GOOD!!!! I dont think we can even understand or explain the true benefits.. now I take a cold one in the morning and at night.. awakens my soul!! One really weird benefit is that when you get out of the shower, the mirror is not covered in steam, so you can actually see your wet face and just stare at yourself for a minute *** UPDATE been doing this over 2 months now and I will never take a warm shower again.. my body craves the cold water.. so does my soul :) I have a feeling I will probably never be sick again. I am moving to Malibu soon so I can swim 30 minutes in the waves everyday :)
I can understand doing it in the morning because you WANT to get revved up and ready to take on the day, but at night, surely a cold shower is the last thing to help you relax and get a good night's sleep...?
@@soundseeker63 Oh it calms me down.. relaxes my mind.. I overheat easily so I need to keep my body cooler so I have less nightmares etc. I've always showered at night my entire life so I just make it cold and add an extra cold on in the morning.
My great uncle did this daily. He was two weeks away from 98. He was fully self sufficient physically and super sharp mentally. He had what most would consider a bad diet. But he always said, he was still walking thanks to the cold showers.
I have been doing the breathing and been taking cold baths and showers for the last 2 months regularly and my psoriasis has healed 95%. My whole back, chest and abdomen was covered in psoriasis and now I only got some scars left which are slowly going away. This man's method is truly powerful!
Hey Daniel, Psoriasis Plaque for 38 years here. Started cold showers somewhere in May. Same experience as you have. Most of it is gone. I had it on my lower legs, lower back, front core, buttocks elbows and underarms. Took some time though. Some months. It is a slow process. Never felt better. I'am trying to reach out to others with psoriasis to try this method. It is a lifechanger!. (ps: only did the cold showers, not the breathing.)
@@lexv4894 thanks mate …. You’ve just made up my mind to really do this …. Steroid creams and flare ups on my scalp with psoriasis …. Shingles out breaks …. Problem Is I eat clean and I’m very active. It worries me like as if my body is turning on itself. I even suffer terrible bouts of SVT now.. Think this is my last option to correct it all as it’s all just getting worse
Wow. That’s amazing! I just started the cold showers and breathing so I am looking forward to my psoriasis decreasing. I have it really bad in my scalp and nothing has helped. Thank you for sharing your testimony. Wim is GREAT!
For those healing from trauma it is a perfect way to get you back into your body . As person healing from childhood abuse I so recommend this as well as any somatic therapies . Love you Wim 💖
Cold showers bring so many benefits from self discipline to increased muscle mass and concentration it’s mad and it’s something they don’t teach us in school along with semen retention.

I’ve only been taking two minute cold showers for not quite a year but I can’t stop now. I’ve had heart surgery a few months ago and everyone tells me to stop. I haven’t stopped and cardio rehab is going great!! Blood pressure staying low and I’m getting a great workout!! First time in years I’ve been able to breathe hard and I’m feeling so much more positive and eager to get healthy again!! 🙏🏻
@@anthonyrutten4018 i had heart surgery also and take sauna’s but dont follow up with cold shower as i was concerned with constricting my vessels after dialating. What type of surgery did you have and how are cold showers going? No symtoms?
Been cold showering every day for 5 weeks now. I feel so very much better. I have more energy, happier and most importantly I am living again after a year and a half sitting stagnating and have no energy or interest in doing much at all. Thank you Wim from the bottom of my heart ♥

I decided to give cold showers a go. I am 3-4 weeks into having a cold shower everyday and I can sense the good it's doing me! I experience a feeling of euphoria after each shower.

I started suffering chronic fatigue and brain fog badly around my mid 30's. I used to be a health and fitness professional, obsessed with it all and KNEW what feeling good and being energized was all about. Somewhere along the way of being a father, working very demanding physical jobs and trying to keep up with my fitness goals... things fell apart. I tried everything to try and alleviate my brain fog and CF, I quit caffeine, I tried cycling caffeine, I tried eliminating Soy, Wheat... all sorts of dietary changes. Nothing seemed to help (in fact the months off caffeine were the absolute worse, just zero pick up at all and constantly feeling like I had just woken up lasting all day every day, this was utter hell). Earlier this year I discovered cold showers. IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. Once I take one and step out I literally feel a decade younger and the veil of fog gone. It is the real deal and nothing has changed or assisted in fixing my problems as much as this.
It took me about a week to get used to the cold showers but I'm hooked now. Feel so much better all morning. Tried to "treat" myself to a warm shower and I didn't like it anymore. That I didn't expect.
@@tnt01 Initially I watched a clock to be sure I stayed in at least a minute. You'll be surprised how quickly you get used to it. I was able to handle a full cold shower of 5 to 10 minutes within a week or so. But during that first week I'm pretty sure I made the other guys in the shower area at the gym uncomfortable with the various noises I was making :)
@@tnt01 I started by doing cold water first until I couldn't bare it and then would finish in hot water, took me about 6 days to commit to just cold showers in the morning and now it's fairly easy. Still have to pump your self up to do it though. Just get in the cold and think positively and you can do it bro!! :D
I'm 72 and take a cold shower after exercise every day Winter and Summer. It can be a challenge of mind over matter, but it's worth it and you certainly feel alive..!! 👍
I am 76 and came across the Wim Hof method through a Russell Brand interview with him. I feel great after the breathing and cold showers. I have such energy now

I have been vegetarian for most of my life. I was sick at least once a month with the flu, meaning my immune system wasnt strong. Someone told me about ending my shower with cold water, doing two sets of hot and cold. LIFE CHANGING, I kid you not. Its been 4 month and i haven't gotten sick not one time. At one point everyone at work was sick except me . I was so amazed with doing something so simple. Just amazing. Im living proof
How is it that a man... Who has NEVER been inside a medical school... No silly titles behind his name, can become our greatest health teacher? Our medical system is a joke... A drug dispensing machine... Salute Wim
How? Because of mercantilisme, materialistic world who make every institution a machin to profit to make money and money it is the main reason in the name of so call confort so much pollutions in ethics and pain
I started taking cold showers about 12 days ago. Around day 5 i was dreading the idea of washing :)). Pushed through it. Now i am looking forward to it. It's crazy how the body adapts. Wim's right when he says anybody can do it. All is needed is to get out of your comfort zone. In my personal experience that is where "life" happens - at the border between your comfort zone. You don't need to go too far out, but gently push against that barrier every day and you will be amazed how large "your world" becomes in time.
Great job! I'm on my ninth year : ) You'll get little tricks as you go along that help. I've found it's harder mentally than physically. The physical sensation is very doable, but its the mind that is going crazy! : ) Right before I start the cold water now, I come up with something to daydream about. Breakfast, my day, my cats . . . Some story. . . A song in my head. . . Like, when you brush your teeth, or wash dishes, you kind of daydream cause it's boring, for example. So, I have a mental scenario to focus on, now that I can physically go into auto mode. And breathe OUT a lot, all the air out, like blowing through a straw, helps the sting. Hope that helps : )

I love the way Wim knows the science on what he preaches inside out, and how he so literate on the matter. I also love the way he goes from one tone of voice and level of energy and enthusiasm, and halfway through his speech his tone energy and enthusiasm has skyrocketed. It's like he's reliving every single ice bath in his life all over again
I’ve been listening to Wim for about two years now, what a wonderful influence this gentleman has had on the world. I have a 1000 litre IBC in the garden and each morning I get a cold bath. It has changed my life, mind and body. For the first two weeks I had incredible pain in my feet from the cold, but then it went. I suffered from PTSD from being in the army and it’s helped me recover, it’s helped me quiet my mind and combined with the breathing it’s allowed my to feel human and alive again.... I’ve also become immune to the cold pretty much, I live in England which can be quite glum, but I hardly notice it. People have said ‘ are you not cold’ as I’m wearing shorts and T-shirt in freezing winter and I stop and have a feel...I’m just fine. I took up weightlifting one year ago and I believe taking cold baths has helped me stay injury free by reducing inflammation... There is sooo much talk about the relationship between illness and inflammation. I recommend cold showers/baths to every, it sets you up for the day and sets your mental clarity... Best wishes to everyone
Connecting a hose to a cold tap and sticking up up your arse is even more beneficial plus it's a nice experience. I learned this secret from Tibetan monks, some of them are 200yrs of age and have never been ill. Give it ago .

If you haven't already come across him, you might find Andrew Huberman's material very interesting -it can all be found on UA-cam. I do the WH breathing and cold showers daily and you're right, it is life-changing. Huberman brings understanding of neuro biology in a really accessible way, just fascinating and practical. The good side of social media.
Hey Andrew - great comment. The IBC - did you cut the top off of it and just jump in? Great shout for an out door IB option instead of paying way over the odds with an actual out door bath now its catching on...
I've been doing the Wim Hof method along with taking cold showers and doing meditation for 13 months now, since the start of the covid lockdowns, and I have not been sick in the slightest once and I feel healthier than ever. Thank you so much Wim, in my eyes you are a Saint. Thank you St. Wim Hof ✌️
What meditation do you practice everyday? Is there a UA-cam Wim Hof meditation you follow? I'm so happy for your great success with WHM deep breathing, cold showers and meditation!

I promise you.. the day you start is the day towards a better health and happier life! :) much love
Took a cold shower today after sauna and workouts. Feel fantastic. Majority of my friends and family don't do it, and I recovered from covid pretty well at the age of 41 without vaccinations. . Your whole lifestyle is a medicine
@ why isnt no one mentioning the drying afterwards? I have super long hair down to my hip and have to go out for work early morning,how do u people with long hair manage?
I have started cold water swimming for 15 mins a day. At first the dread was nearly overpowering but after a few swims I could accept it. The swims have made me more alert and positive but also more ready to confront things that have been scaring me in my life. Facing dread and discomfort / basically fear every day has made me mentally stronger in my general life. I believe there are physical health benefits also.
Fantastic! And so well stated! I want to go into the sea even though it is winter but not sure if it would be a good idea to walk 15 mins home wet in the cold. Anyone have any thoughts?

Yes, I've noticed this too! The strength to confront things you're not comfortable with has become SO MUCH easier to handle and deal with.. cold showers have been a life changer for me :)
I have been doing this for a week, my eczema is clearing, I have more energy, sleep is better and I feel much better overall. That being said, it is not easy to motivate jumping into a cold tub. The temptation to turn the hot water on is my greatest obstacle.

I swim almost every day all year round in the sea (in Wales.) It helps me cope with chronic pain (fibromyalgia/HMJS/Hoshimoto 's thyroid disease) and it lifts my mood. I am a Poet and a Writing for Wellbeing Practitioner and the sea is often my inspiration. I am 65.
I love to hear passionate stories of the ocean. I'm almost 50 now and I still surf daily. The cold water of central and northern CA makes you feel alive. Big animals come close to you in cold water, elephant seals, sea lions and massive sharks. I love cold nature. Much ocean love Karen.
@@user-qj6nx9ss7v I've never surfed but I do canoe. We sometimes see dolphins in the bay but nothing as big as a shark. I must be quite an experience. I'm looking at on online course on cold water therapy. It definitely gives me a great feeling of well being.
Hi.Karen..that's great! Wim is right..cold water heals..as does breath work. Also diet is really important for anyone with autoimmune (or mental health) issues. Check out Kelly Brogan's book..a mind of your own. Another great help to me has been mouth taping at night...and nose breathing whenever possible during the day.
@@Suzitao Thank you Suzi. I will look up Kelly Brogan's Book. I actually feel more pain relive in very cold water then summer time. I even reduced my pain meds by 25% under medical supervision this year. I still get breakthrough pain so I can't reduce it further but I'd rather be managing on the lower dose.
I have been taking cold showers every morning for four years, and I can attest that I feel much more alive with an overall sense of well-being. I am 71 years old and much healthier than all my peers.
I've been having only cold showers for about a month now; at least two cold showers every day. One at bed time helps me sleep better and one in the morning really wakes me up. It's hard to do, but I really feel such wonderful benifits!
I live in the bush in Canada. We have a gravity feed water system so the water is the temp of the outside temp. I built a shower out side. I do my rounds of breathing that Wim taught me then I go out naked to my shower do my shower stand outside and dry off then take my time getting back to the house. It’s been life changing I’m so very thankful for this man thank you Wim I love you
This is absolutely true. I have been doing this daily for 40 years, and at 72, I have the same level of physical vitality and mental clarity as I did when I was 30. This should be the foundation to build your day on. Ice baths and 40 day fasts are another level, and have amazing health benefits as well, but everyone should start with a cold shower in the morning. Start by rubbing your body down under the chilly water-no need to stand there passively!
40-day fasts? no food? that sounds almost impossible and you'd lose so much weight from the ketosis. not best for people who want to lose muscle mass or body fat.
@@antoniosalcudean8380 wow, so can you elaborate as to no food at all? And what about how much water or any other liquids? What if any electrolytes did you take? Also starting, was it a few days first or? Thanks
I’ve been doing it for the last 3 weeks, and I’ve got so much more energy as a result. The first day was hard, then from day 2 I used breath work to manage the process, now I’m managing 2 mins of cold easily. I’m dancing around under the cold water while I breathe my way through it. Mindfulness at its best!
@@moth_paws Start your breathing before cooling the water. I just do 10 seconds. I was doing cold showers several years ago. I think it helped me lose weight. You'll increase the time if you stick with it.
I also dance under the cold water ! 😅 I can do 5 minutes, for now I don't think of going for longer but might be good. The first days, I started with only 30 seconds, then 30x3 with breaks in between then increased to minutes !
@@moth_paws I practice mindfulness, simply focus my mind on breathing… I am breathing out… I am breathing in… I am breathing out… for as long as it takes to stabilise breathing. Then I sing and dance and enjoy the experience!!!

Today was my 3rd cold shower day. I was able to do a minute. It took me three months to start! That’s how scared I’ve been of the cold. I’m amazed at how peaceful I feel afterwards. The shower itself is painful. But I look forward to how amazing I feel hence I’m motivated to do it. I hope to reach 2 to 3 minutes with no resistance and welcome the cold. As others have mentioned the breathing technique helps, I will start that as well. I’m just proud to have challenged myself and finally started.
lol,its funny how ppl react to the cold,i live in the south of new zealand and we would swim in the ocean upto autumn till we were blue in the lips so this is perfectly normal for me,i had a bath in ice yesterday no trouble wasnt even a shock just normal ,but the difference now i do it everyday because i didnt no how good it is for you
Here in Britain, most swimming pools were outdoors and cold and we took our holidays at the seaside. We would swim in the Atlantic Ocean. I’m not certain when this changed. Possibly with the advent of the Sports Centre and availability of holidays abroad amongst other things. So I’m sure my old body remembers how to be resilient…cold showers here I come!

Thank you for this amazing interview. My Peak Flow (lung health) has gone from 300 to 370. And I hope to get higher. This is from someone that had Asthma (lung problems) for 48 years. I managed to cure Asthma with organic plants. But thanks to Win, I am now improving and strengthening my lungs. My friend is an ex nurse, it is thanks to her that I started to question my diet, and she also recently sent me videos by Win Hof. What a great man. I also love that he promotes bringing back innocence. Our children deserve a better world that treasures them and allows kids a real childhood.

I just started having cold showers since last 5 days. I practice deep breathing while I have my cold shower and when I come out of the shower I feel super refreshed and energised and the only way I can describe this experience is as " exhilarating" I still cannot believe I'm doing this. I've truly surprised myself. !! Thank you WimHoff ❤️
Hello Renny, I think Wim advices to do his deep breathing lying down. But this concerns his breathing method. Some young Dutch guy tried the breathing i a shallow pool. He drowned because of loosing control. Just saying stay save.
Cold shower trick // turn the water on & start shower while it warms up / you get cold blast that fades to warm / take a short warm shower & clean up then a nice cold rinse //
Update. i continued with the cold showers during my sickness, but cut the time to 45 seconds. Eventually after 14 days, it started to decrease. So now i am 2 weeks of feeling a lot more human, so i have extended my showers back to two minutes again. I must admit i missed the full showers after my WH four round breathing session, but the breathing exercises were almost impossible due to coughing and blocked sinuses. So i am now back to "normal" lets hope i will never be sick again as WH says here. Good luck to all
Well done, Keep it rolling! I took one every day starting Jan 1st last year and it was probably one of the best years I've had even with this pandemic. This year I've been taking a cold plunge in the garden I'm living in the UK so it's bloody cold ❄ 😂 if you'd told me this time last year id be doing this I'd have said you were crazy! Have an awesome 2021 and beyond!
@@robindegroot9455 I was doing a pre shower meditation which involved the breath work, but now I just have a warm shower, then gradually turn it down and I sing.... I tried the breathing but it made me very dizzy, so I tried singing and it works for me!

I live in a cold country so every morning in the winter time i stand outside on my balcony in the minus freezing cold weather to feel the cold air surrounding my entire body its a fantastic feeling ..i can stand there for like 5 minutes and feel my cells tingling all over ..what a rush .it works far better for me than the cold showers ..I love it
Love Wim. I've been taking cold showers for over a year. Wow!!! Amazing. Feel great...I love my morning cold showers. The medical complex is not about health and well being. Its about profits and disempowering people. The gig is up...
@@Baldrick_dogsbody you wash in warm water first then turn on the cold and stand in just that . Plus not meaning to be rude but 15 minutes to wash? lol you been rolling in mud?
@@lilme7052 Yes, I clean myself properly. At least 15 minutes to wash properly. Also, how cold is cold ,? When I turn on to full cold water in the shower, it really isn't that cold. I can have this cold shower every day without any issues. So the question is, how cold should it be ? The temperature. Does anyone know ?
Because of this guy and the 30 days cold shower challenge i started doing cold showers every day.I think i have already 3 months.It makes me feel so relieved.It’s a true emotional, spiritual, mental and phisical elixir.it aligns you from top to bottom.

My grandma passed away in 2017 at age 101. Throughout her life she always took cold water shower daily at around 6am. Except for last 5 yrs she was completely healthy for a century of her life. Beside cold shower she never missed taking sunlight in the mornings (one to two hours depending upon the season of the year). Edit: Even in last 5yrs she was not having any major illness. Only occasional indigestion, some balance problem (in walking) and once hospitalized for gallbladder issue. Her memory was 100% perfect. Eyesight and hearing were 80% good.
@@sneakerhead2830 sunlight exposure is equally important. Understand, all life forms including humans are born to live in sunlight during daytime but our modern lives keeps us away from the sun. We are taught that sunlight gives us Vit-D but that's incomplete truth. There hundreds of biological reactions that happen in body bcoz of sun exposure, so do not ignore the precious light of God.
@@fifaguy2498 i am not sure about the answer to your question but I've been witness that my grandma took cold water shower till last few days of her life. She passed away at 100 or 101 (which was a bit disputed). Except some gallbladder issues after age 95 she had absolutely no health problems ever.
I was diagnosed with slight MS and I started taking a warm shower then turn to colder at the end and feel a bit better, but now I’ll be brave and step right into a cold shower (with breathing technique) and see if I feel even better!
@@lau3979 I tried, but no. Too much of a shock to the system! Prefer to turn the shower colder (but not too cold) at the end. It wakes me up sufficiently.
@@Dewwood100 Hi. I hope you are feeling well. Was just curious if you found going to extreme cold made your MS symptoms worse?

I'm 59 and been taking cold showers daily, and practicing Wim Hof breathing method for 1 1/2 years now. I do 3 minutes cold shower (at the end of hot shower) and 5 to 7 rounds of breathing technique with breathe retentions up to 3 minutes, by round 7....no longer use my sleep apnea machine, and haven't had a cold, or allergic reaction since I began. I do believe the cold shower is most beneficial. Hated cold showers at first, but quickly come to enjoy them now

I just did this because I was feeling sad 😔 about a few things and it instantly made me feel better! Your a true Genius Sir ! God bless 🙌 you and Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts and wisdom 🙏 ❤
I've read Wim Hof's book and he didn't get this technique from anywhere other than discovering it on his own. There is an ancient form of Yoga called Tummo Yoga that also has the same effect as the Wim Hof Method.
The Duke of Nuts wims great but those Buddhists were doing crazy shit with their breath many millennia ago Also they could heat a wet towel with breath some lineage He’s not gave them props so much but it’s all true
I recently started doing this again. I am now on day 11 of my new cold showers. Just get in when it’s cold, so no heat, just cold then I turn it down and stay in it for about 5 minutes where I was. Point to note. You stay warmer. My body is now self regulating heat and I am wait on the heart rate to drop by the 30 beats per minute. I hated it, then I sort of liked it and now I know it’s essential.
Thanks to Wim I get to enjoy a swim at the beach all year round. I live in Melbourne Australia so our water temp in winter goes down to 8degree. The best thing about being in the bay water through the cold months is noone is there and it's beautiful having the whole place myself like a private giant pool 🥰
I did the breathing exercises not sure if I did it correctly but I had tingling in the area’s of my body that I’ve been having discomfort with. Then I took a warm shower & then gradually turned to cold. I breathed through the process longer than 30 seconds. I have to say I felt good more energy than I’ve had in days. My arm was hurting but there’s a difference I can just tell. I’m going to continue… ( Beautiful people, help us more than doctors. Truth is we just need the unconditional love of each other) Namaste
Thanks for this interview! WIm Hof is the best !!!🙏🙏🙏 I am so happy that I found a genuine natural way to cure my suicidal depression, this is going to allow me to recover and live life again! Can't wait, this is the best year :D I will do cold showers and nofap and fasting, and workout and Neville Goddard!!! This is great!!! I am so grateful that after all these years of depression and plandemic and dooming I get to rise up finally!!!

@@turtletube Yes, it feels wrong to read about Counter Strike in the comment section of an interview about cold showers and meditative breathing. By the way, I play Counter Strike since for more than 20 years, but took my first cold shower this morning.
I began the Wim Hof method this January, doing both the cold showers and the breathing exercises, daily. 💫🚿Is any one else along this journey too?💚Curious to hear how you are finding it!
I started in October with 15 seconds cold showers and that was not easy. I have always hated the cold. But I fell in love with it. I also did the breathing and it changed me straight away. Still doing it every day. I live 10km from Copenhagen and I take a short swim in the sea every day now. Water was 0.8 C yesterday. 1.5 minute in now is easy and does hardly need recovery. If I push myself I can be in longer it just depends on if I can afford to be cold and tired after the dip.
I thank you Wim for changing my life and those of my friends. I only have a warm shower once a month, and that feels weird. Your breathing techniques and teachings are fantastic. Again gratitude.
I intentionally switch from hot to cold twice to maximize the constriction and dilation of the blood vessels. It also allows me to be tolerant of both heat and cold.
I absolutely love this man. I just started 2nd day of his guided breathing video, it really gave me a few good hours of energy. I'm going to continue tomorrow and start this morning cold shower routine after the guided breathing video.

I haven’t stepped into a hot shower for 2 years. Waking up to icy cold water is like a shot of adrenaline, it makes me feel fresh and alive, my muscles tense up and my metabolism increases, my brain feels more active and my skin feels less saggy, it’s an amazing feeling. It also gives me the feeling of a Norse God lol

I've been taking cold showers for years now. It felt refreshing at first, but now I don't feel anything. I have noticed I'm more resistant to cold weather, but I can't tell if it's done anything else for me. I continue to do it because I think it helps me deal with cold weather better.
I'm on my ninth year of daily cold showers, discovered Wim after the first couple years. I came to it naturally, and so did he. Remember, he felt an inkling out of nowhere, to get in the cold pond outside, watch early videos. It was a natural, spontaneous and persistent invitation. I love it so much I can't stop myself from talking : ) . . . I built a wood sauna, outdoor dunk tank, roll in the snow and had a goal to swim in the frozen river twelve months straight. I swam twenty four months in a row the first two years! : ) I used to dread the winters and the cold. Now, I put ice packs in my big shower bucket every morning, to make it More cold! : ) I live in the great plains u.s. with bitter harsh winters. Cold water, every day, roll in the snow 0 degrees, love it! Then I hum and sing out loud while I make breakfast, ha, feels amazing! I call it a cold sizzle! Like, when you get hit with a snowball, that hot/cold sizzle all over your skin, big drugs released!! go get em, Free!!! Research the breathing, important to have some procedures to follow physically, mentally, if you're new to it. Figure those out. My first shower goals were two minutes, big achievement, you'll feel like a King, (or a Queen!) . . . . The hardest part of a five minute cold shower is the first five minutes : ) Go for it!!!!!!!!!!!
I started suffering from horrible panic attacks last year. I couldn't drive, couldn't do my job, and all I thought about was when the next attack was coming. Then I found this man, Wim Hoff. I started taking cold showers, and walking in shorts and a t-shirt in the winter. Within 2 months, I had zero stress, anxiety, and most importantly, the panic attacks stopped. Without Wim Hoff I would be in a dark dark place in my life, but now I'm thriving.
How are you doing now ? I just started practicing his breath work meditation and started the cold shower due to panic attacks
@@merabbram5688 I've fell out of practice in the last 3 months. I tend to have less anxiety and panic during the summer. But my exercise is still at a high level which helps. My mind does not do well in the winter, so this month I have to get back into cold showers and cold plunges to get ready for the cold seasons. I still maintain the breathing and cold showers, mixed with exercise is the best cure for panic attacks in the world.
Thank you for sharing your experience makes me want to work on my self .
SOon you will be let down by Wim, he is only a man like us, sinners, the only one who will never let you down is Jesus Christ.
Ask God if he is real in the name of Jesus Christ and he will respond, It doesn't hurt to ask. just ask!
You might never get a chance like this again, and if you do, TAKE IT!!!

Wim's cold shower / swim has helped my brain heal from a traumatic brain injury. After a long cold shower my balance improves, my eyes improve and my speech improves. I now walk around in the snow wearing a sundress after my cold shower and it is GREAT. In the past I was always cold and now I never experience cold. I LOVE it!

@@Jacob-fj7xp Hi Jacob and thank you for your question. For a year out, you are doing amazing by the fact that you can use a computer and type. It took me 2 years to understand the difference between a fork and a phone and that each had a particular function. So, I am truly impressed with your progress.
When I started taking cold showers, I would enter the shower with warm water streaming down and gradually turned the temperature down during the shower. I kept it cold for a few minutes and got out. I started noticing that my balance improved and started turning the temperature lower and sooner into the shower.
Now, my brain is programmed to recognize that the cold is my friend and I start it cold and never raise the temperature. I then walk around in the snow, with boots on and only a sundress and I LOVE that my brain is so alive and my day improves so much after that and I am never cold, never!
This will help you and is easy if you don't approach it with thought of how cold and uncomfortable it is going to be. I also swim in ice water and love that as well. You CAN do this, you CAN.
That's amazing !

Took my first cold shower this morning. I was half dancing of the shivers, but the result felt great ! After the shower i felt warm, alert and fired up and ready to go for the day. Highly recommend.
been doing this for a week. I FEEL SO GOOD!!!! I dont think we can even understand or explain the true benefits.. now I take a cold one in the morning and at night.. awakens my soul!! One really weird benefit is that when you get out of the shower, the mirror is not covered in steam, so you can actually see your wet face and just stare at yourself for a minute *** UPDATE been doing this over 2 months now and I will never take a warm shower again.. my body craves the cold water.. so does my soul :) I have a feeling I will probably never be sick again.

I started suffering chronic fatigue and brain fog badly around my mid 30's. I used to be a health and fitness professional, obsessed with it all and KNEW what feeling good and being energized was all about. Somewhere along the way of being a father, working very demanding physical jobs and trying to keep up with my fitness goals... things fell apart.
I tried everything to try and alleviate my brain fog and CF, I quit caffeine, I tried cycling caffeine, I tried eliminating Soy, Wheat... all sorts of dietary changes. Nothing seemed to help (in fact the months off caffeine were the absolute worse, just zero pick up at all and constantly feeling like I had just woken up lasting all day every day, this was utter hell).
Earlier this year I discovered cold showers. IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. Once I take one and step out I literally feel a decade younger and the veil of fog gone. It is the real deal and nothing has changed or assisted in fixing my problems as much as this.

I started taking cold showers about 12 days ago. Around day 5 i was dreading the idea of washing :)). Pushed through it. Now i am looking forward to it. It's crazy how the body adapts. Wim's right when he says anybody can do it. All is needed is to get out of your comfort zone. In my personal experience that is where "life" happens - at the border between your comfort zone. You don't need to go too far out, but gently push against that barrier every day and you will be amazed how large "your world" becomes in time.
@Teodor Dragan thank you , that I needed to hear , 100% , thank you!
Great job! I'm on my ninth year : )
You'll get little tricks as you go along that help. I've found it's harder mentally than physically. The physical sensation is very doable, but its the mind that is going crazy! : )
Right before I start the cold water now, I come up with something to daydream about. Breakfast, my day, my cats . . . Some story. . . A song in my head. . .
Like, when you brush your teeth, or wash dishes, you kind of daydream cause it's boring, for example.
So, I have a mental scenario to focus on, now that I can physically go into auto mode.
And breathe OUT a lot, all the air out, like blowing through a straw, helps the sting. Hope that helps : )

I have a 1000 litre IBC in the garden and each morning I get a cold bath. It has changed my life, mind and body.
For the first two weeks I had incredible pain in my feet from the cold, but then it went. I suffered from PTSD from being in the army and it’s helped me recover, it’s helped me quiet my mind and combined with the breathing it’s allowed my to feel human and alive again....
I’ve also become immune to the cold pretty much, I live in England which can be quite glum, but I hardly notice it.
People have said ‘ are you not cold’ as I’m wearing shorts and T-shirt in freezing winter and I stop and have a feel...I’m just fine.
I took up weightlifting one year ago and I believe taking cold baths has helped me stay injury free by reducing inflammation...
There is sooo much talk about the relationship between illness and inflammation.
I recommend cold showers/baths to every, it sets you up for the day and sets your mental clarity...
Best wishes to everyone
Connecting a hose to a cold tap and sticking up up your arse is even
more beneficial plus it's a nice experience. I learned this secret from
Tibetan monks, some of them are 200yrs of age and have never been ill.

If you haven't already come across him, you might find Andrew Huberman's material very interesting -it can all be found on UA-cam. I do the WH breathing and cold showers daily and you're right, it is life-changing. Huberman brings understanding of neuro biology in a really accessible way, just fascinating and practical. The good side of social media.
Thanks, thanks, thakns Wim. I love you
Thanks for posting Andrew
Hey Andrew - great comment. The IBC - did you cut the top off of it and just jump in? Great shout for an out door IB option instead of paying way over the odds with an actual out door bath now its catching on...
I've been doing the Wim Hof method along with taking cold showers and doing meditation for 13 months now, since the start of the covid lockdowns, and I have not been sick in the slightest once and I feel healthier than ever. Thank you so much Wim, in my eyes you are a Saint. Thank you St. Wim Hof ✌️
What meditation do you practice everyday? Is there a UA-cam Wim Hof meditation
you follow? I'm so happy for your great success with WHM deep breathing, cold showers
and meditation!

Cold showers bring so many benefits from self discipline to increased muscle mass and concentration it’s mad and it’s something they don’t teach us in school along with semen retention. Anyway I just made a vid on all this and went in deep I’d appreciate if you take a look you’ll learn something great 💯
Don't meditate unless it's God's word!
I started taking cold showers last year. I started with 30 seconds and never thought I could ever last for three minutes. Now it’s pretty easy. I do need to work on my breathing better though. Thank you so much for bringing this to the world.
My dad takes cold showers and he is 83 years old right now- thank you Lord
my dad is 91 and he does not and never has taken cold showers , huh

IF YOU SAY " I AM OLD" THEN ALL THE CELLS IN YOUR BODY WILL RESPOND BY SAYING : "COMMAND FROM HEAD QUARTERS ! EVERYBODY START DYING NOW !" DON'T KILL YOURSELF WITH YOUR WORDS ! "

I promise you.. the day you start is the day towards a better health and happier life! :) much love
Took a cold shower today after sauna and workouts. Feel fantastic. Majority of my friends and family don't do it, and I recovered from covid pretty well at the age of 41 without vaccinations. . Your whole lifestyle is a medicine
Absolutely true. Many feel health is in a syringe nowadays. They live like pigs and hope pfizer will keep them alive
@ why isnt no one mentioning the drying afterwards? I have super long hair down to my hip and have to go out for work early morning,how do u people with long hair manage?
@@palakush7650 can‘t you just wash your hair in the evening and do a cold shower for your body in the morning?
@@palakush7650 If I’m washing my hair I wash it first in warm then turn the shower cold. Otherwise I wash it at night and wear a shower cap in morning
@@palakush7650 ring your hair out before getting out of the shower. Then most of the cold water will be out of your hair before your blow/towel dry it
I have started cold water swimming for 15 mins a day. At first the dread was nearly overpowering but after a few swims I could accept it. The swims have made me more alert and positive but also more ready to confront things that have been scaring me in my life. Facing dread and discomfort / basically fear every day has made me mentally stronger in my general life. I believe there are physical health benefits also.
Fantastic! And so well stated! I want to go into the sea even though it is winter but not sure if it would be a good idea to walk 15 mins home wet in the cold. Anyone have any thoughts?

Just use the bathtub.
Yes, I've noticed this too! The strength to confront things you're not comfortable with has become SO MUCH easier to handle and deal with.. cold showers have been a life changer for me :)
I have been doing this for a week, my eczema is clearing, I have more energy, sleep is better and I feel much better overall. That being said, it is not easy to motivate jumping into a cold tub. The temptation to turn the hot water on is my greatest obstacle.

I started your breathing exercises last night. I woke up today feeling very fresh. I've not felt that way in years!
I swim almost every day all year round in the sea (in Wales.) It helps me cope with chronic pain (fibromyalgia/HMJS/Hoshimoto 's thyroid disease) and it lifts my mood. I am a Poet and a Writing for Wellbeing Practitioner and the sea is often my inspiration. I am 65.
I love to hear passionate stories of the ocean. I'm almost 50 now and I still surf daily. The cold water of central and northern CA makes you feel alive. Big animals come close to you in cold water, elephant seals, sea lions and massive sharks. I love cold nature. Much ocean love Karen.
@@user-qj6nx9ss7v I've never surfed but I do canoe. We sometimes see dolphins in the bay but nothing as big as a shark. I must be quite an experience. I'm looking at on online course on cold water therapy. It definitely gives me a great feeling of well being.
Hi.Karen..that's great! Wim is right..cold water heals..as does breath work. Also diet is really important for anyone with autoimmune (or mental health) issues. Check out Kelly Brogan's book..a mind of your own. Another great help to me has been mouth taping at night...and nose breathing whenever possible during the day.
@@Suzitao Thank you Suzi. I will look up Kelly Brogan's Book. I actually feel more pain relive in very cold water then summer time. I even reduced my pain meds by 25% under medical supervision this year. I still get breakthrough pain so I can't reduce it further but I'd rather be managing on the lower dose.
@@Sup1719 it's amazing.
I have been taking cold showers every morning for four years, and I can attest that I feel much more alive with an overall sense of well-being. I am 71 years old and much healthier than all my peers.
I've been having only cold showers for about a month now; at least two cold showers every day. One at bed time helps me sleep better and one in the morning really wakes me up. It's hard to do, but I really feel such wonderful benifits!
I live in the bush in Canada. We have a gravity feed water system so the water is the temp of the outside temp. I built a shower out side. I do my rounds of breathing that Wim taught me then I go out naked to my shower do my shower stand outside and dry off then take my time getting back to the house. It’s been life changing I’m so very thankful for this man thank you Wim I love you
This is absolutely true. I have been doing this daily for 40 years, and at 72, I have the same level of physical vitality and mental clarity as I did when I was 30. This should be the foundation to build your day on. Ice baths and 40 day fasts are another level, and have amazing health benefits as well, but everyone should start with a cold shower in the morning. Start by rubbing your body down under the chilly water-no need to stand there passively!
40-day fasts? no food? that sounds almost impossible and you'd lose so much weight from the ketosis. not best for people who want to lose muscle mass or body fat.
Since I discovered Wim, I soap & wash up with my cold shower. Doesn’t everyone?
@@RiordanLadyGaga I done It .Just do It! After the fasting you can put back all, plus 5-10% if you want.❤
Impressive! 👀
@@antoniosalcudean8380 wow, so can you elaborate as to no food at all? And what about how much water or any other liquids? What if any electrolytes did you take? Also starting, was it a few days first or? Thanks
I started doing this exactly one year ago, and boy did it felt good. I cannot go back to hot showers now.
The Same Here, I Started Out In 2009 And Have Not Turned Back, Salute 2 U.👍
I’ve been doing it for the last 3 weeks, and I’ve got so much more energy as a result. The first day was hard, then from day 2 I used breath work to manage the process, now I’m managing 2 mins of cold easily. I’m dancing around under the cold water while I breathe my way through it. Mindfulness at its best!
Can you tell me how you breathe through the cold shower? I'm trying to work up the nerve to try this and can use all the help I can get!
@@moth_paws Start your breathing before cooling the water. I just do 10 seconds. I was doing cold showers several years ago. I think it helped me lose weight. You'll increase the time if you stick with it.
I also dance under the cold water ! 😅 I can do 5 minutes, for now I don't think of going for longer but might be good. The first days, I started with only 30 seconds, then 30x3 with breaks in between then increased to minutes !
@@moth_paws I practice mindfulness, simply focus my mind on breathing… I am breathing out… I am breathing in… I am breathing out… for as long as it takes to stabilise breathing. Then I sing and dance and enjoy the experience!!!

It is my third year of cold exposition routine. Now i start every day with a cold bath in a garden pool for 2 or 3 minutes. I have NEVER regreted i had took bath but a few times i regreted not taking it. Thank you Wim. My life has changed for better
Not at ice bath level yet, but now 2 months in and 4 minute 9 degrees showers. Feeling great! It's really worth it, feeling amazing!

Today was my 3rd cold shower day. I was able to do a minute. It took me three months to start! That’s how scared I’ve been of the cold. I’m amazed at how peaceful I feel afterwards. The shower itself is painful. But I look forward to how amazing I feel hence I’m motivated to do it.
I hope to reach 2 to 3 minutes with no resistance and welcome the cold. As others have mentioned the breathing technique helps, I will start that as well.
I’m just proud to have challenged myself and finally started.
lol,its funny how ppl react to the cold,i live in the south of new zealand and we would swim in the ocean upto autumn till we were blue in the lips so this is perfectly normal for me,i had a bath in ice yesterday no trouble wasnt even a shock just normal ,but the difference now i do it everyday because i didnt no how good it is for you
Great job!!! Im still trying to get brave:)
Here in Britain, most swimming pools were outdoors and cold and we took our holidays at the seaside. We would swim in the Atlantic Ocean. I’m not certain when this changed. Possibly with the advent of the Sports Centre and availability of holidays abroad amongst other things. So I’m sure my old body remembers how to be resilient…cold showers here I come!

I've been taking cold showers for years and haven't been sick since I started. There seems to be something to this.

I USED TO SWIM IN COLD WATER EVERY MORNING FOR 20 MINUTES. IT HEALED MY BACK INJURY. I GOT SO MUCH ENERGY, AND FELT SO CALM THROUGH THE DAY.
KEEP DOING IT WHY WOULD YOU EVER STOP?!?!
If started taking cold showers two years ago when I first heard wim wof talk about it the first time and it has helped me tremendously.
In what way has it helped you
Yes please elaborate
How ?
My starting point was 15 seconds and now I am able to stay 5 minutes in cold bath…thanks to this wonderful man! Thank you Wim!😊
Thank you for this amazing interview. My Peak Flow (lung health) has gone from 300 to 370. And I hope to get higher. This is from someone that had Asthma (lung problems) for 48 years. I managed to cure Asthma with organic plants. But thanks to Win, I am now improving and strengthening my lungs. My friend is an ex nurse, it is thanks to her that I started to question my diet, and she also recently sent me videos by Win Hof. What a great man.

I just started having cold showers since last 5 days. I practice deep breathing while I have my cold shower and when I come out of the shower I feel super refreshed and energised and the only way I can describe this experience is as " exhilarating"
I still cannot believe I'm doing this. I've truly surprised myself. !! Thank you WimHoff ❤️
Hello Renny, I think Wim advices to do his deep breathing lying down. But this concerns his breathing method. Some young Dutch guy tried the breathing i a shallow pool. He drowned because of loosing control. Just saying stay save.
Cold shower trick // turn the water on & start shower while it warms up / you get cold blast that fades to warm / take a short warm shower & clean up then a nice cold rinse //
Update. i continued with the cold showers during my sickness, but cut the time to 45 seconds. Eventually after 14 days, it started to decrease. So now i am 2 weeks of feeling a lot more human, so i have extended my showers back to two minutes again. I must admit i missed the full showers after my WH four round breathing session, but the breathing exercises were almost impossible due to coughing and blocked sinuses. So i am now back to "normal" lets hope i will never be sick again as WH says here. Good luck to all
I need to start these again. Totally wakes me up.
I have been taking cold showers since 1st Jan every morning and it has made such a difference to my life!
Only te shower or do you also do the breath?
Well done, Keep it rolling! I took one every day starting Jan 1st last year and it was probably one of the best years I've had even with this pandemic. This year I've been taking a cold plunge in the garden I'm living in the UK so it's bloody cold ❄ 😂 if you'd told me this time last year id be doing this I'd have said you were crazy! Have an awesome 2021 and beyond!
@@robindegroot9455 I was doing a pre shower meditation which involved the breath work, but now I just have a warm shower, then gradually turn it down and I sing.... I tried the breathing but it made me very dizzy, so I tried singing and it works for me!
@@thepamo2812 thank you. I live in northumberland and when I started doing my showers it was - 6 ..... It has become so easy to do now. My mindset has changed, no negative thoughts. I will be trying cold baths soon.

I am 66 year old woman. I start doing a cold shower in the morning and sometimes in the evening 2 months ago. And I feel great, full with energy and good feelings. Thank you Wim
I live in a cold country so every morning in the winter time i stand outside on my balcony in the minus freezing cold weather to feel the cold air surrounding my entire body its a fantastic feeling ..i can stand there for like 5 minutes and feel my cells tingling all over ..what a rush .it works far better for me than the cold showers ..I love it
I’m convinced. I’ve been wanting to take cold showers for the longest time now. I need to just do it and this video helped!
Ditto....😉💪🏽
Go for it! You won’t regret it 😊
It sounds such a silly thing but that was life changing for me
Just start it, i wish you already did it 💪
Funny they seem completely normal to me now.
This man deserves nobel prize!
Look into what that prize is…. I think we can give him something better
no one brings the passion, joy, and human truth like Wim
Love Wim. I've been taking cold showers for over a year. Wow!!! Amazing. Feel great...I love my morning cold showers. The medical complex is not about health and well being. Its about profits and disempowering people. The gig is up...
I do it for 2 years great advice! Following Wim Hof and other great mentors I improved my life!
I just did 7 minutes!. Starting today!!! I’m trying to reset my nervous system. I pray this helps.
How is it still helping you ?
progress updates please!!!
7 minutes ? Do you not use soap to wash yourself.? That's at least 15-20 mins
@@Baldrick_dogsbody you wash in warm water first then turn on the cold and stand in just that . Plus not meaning to be rude but 15 minutes to wash? lol you been rolling in mud?
@@lilme7052
Yes, I clean myself properly. At least 15 minutes to wash properly.
Also, how cold is cold ,? When I turn on to full cold water in the shower, it really isn't that cold. I can have this cold shower every day without any issues.
So the question is, how cold should it be ? The temperature. Does anyone know ?
On my second day I began doing 5 minute cold showers. Not hard at all. I love how it feels.
Because of this guy and the 30 days cold shower challenge i started doing cold showers every day.I think i have already 3 months.It makes me feel so relieved.It’s a true emotional, spiritual, mental and phisical elixir.it aligns you from top to bottom.
isnt it ridiculous how amazing the benefits are?!
Sounds amazing! Do you shower the head also or only the body?
Sometimes the head too. But not too much becayse it’s more sensitive than the rest of the body. Especially the ears.

I had my first cold shower today,was hard to control my breath but eventually zoned out and felt brilliant afterwards.
My grandma passed away in 2017 at age 101. Throughout her life she always took cold water shower daily at around 6am. Except for last 5 yrs she was completely healthy for a century of her life.
Beside cold shower she never missed taking sunlight in the mornings (one to two hours depending upon the season of the year).
Edit: Even in last 5yrs she was not having any major illness. Only occasional indigestion, some balance problem (in walking) and once hospitalized for gallbladder issue. Her memory was 100% perfect. Eyesight and hearing were 80% good.
Wow that’s very inspiring makes me want to make sure my parents start taking cold showers from now on Rest In Peace to your grandma ❤️
@@sneakerhead2830 sunlight exposure is equally important. Understand, all life forms including humans are born to live in sunlight during daytime but our modern lives keeps us away from the sun. We are taught that sunlight gives us Vit-D but that's incomplete truth. There hundreds of biological reactions that happen in body bcoz of sun exposure, so do not ignore the precious light of God.
Is the cold shower not dangerous at 90 years old?
@@fifaguy2498 i am not sure about the answer to your question but I've been witness that my grandma took cold water shower till last few days of her life. She passed away at 100 or 101 (which was a bit disputed). Except some gallbladder issues after age 95 she had absolutely no health problems ever.

Two years of cold showers and now I can do 30 minutes in an Ice Bath. Filmed and on my channel. Thanks Tummo (where Wim got it from)
Tummo who ?
@@jamesdean1143 tum mo means inner fire Wim mentions it on his website
I've read Wim Hof's book and he didn't get this technique from anywhere other than discovering it on his own. There is an ancient form of Yoga called Tummo Yoga that also has the same effect as the Wim Hof Method.
The Duke of Nuts wims great but those Buddhists were doing crazy shit with their breath many millennia ago Also they could heat a wet towel with breath some lineage He’s not gave them props so much but it’s all true
Ive been doing cold showers for 1 year and feel awesome physically and mentally thanks Wim Hof!!
I recently started doing this again.
I am now on day 11 of my new cold showers. Just get in when it’s cold, so no heat, just cold then I turn it down and stay in it for about 5 minutes where I was.
Point to note. You stay warmer.
My body is now self regulating heat and I am wait on the heart rate to drop by the 30 beats per minute.
I hated it, then I sort of liked it and now I know it’s essential.
Thanks to Wim I get to enjoy a swim at the beach all year round. I live in Melbourne Australia so our water temp in winter goes down to 8degree.

I did the breathing exercises not sure if I did it correctly but I had tingling in the area’s of my body that I’ve been having discomfort with.
Then I took a warm shower & then gradually turned to cold. I breathed through the process longer than 30 seconds. I have to say I felt good more energy than I’ve had in days. My arm was hurting but there’s a difference I can just tell. I’m going to continue… ( Beautiful people, help us more than doctors. Truth is we just need the unconditional love of each other) Namaste

@@turtletube Yes, it feels wrong to read about Counter Strike in the comment section of an interview about cold showers and meditative breathing. By the way, I play Counter Strike since for more than 20 years, but took my first cold shower this morning.

I started in October with 15 seconds cold showers and that was not easy. I have always hated the cold. But I fell in love with it.
I also did the breathing and it changed me straight away. Still doing it every day.
I live 10km from Copenhagen and I take a short swim in the sea every day now. Water was 0.8 C yesterday. 1.5 minute in now is easy and does hardly need recovery. If I push myself I can be in longer it just depends on if I can afford to be cold and tired after the dip.
I have been doing it for a week. I have MS and lots of nerve pain. I have definitely felt different since, more energy and less pain.
@@theohuioiesin6519 that would be so nice to have the option of taking a dip in the cold sea!🌊
@@sandimoo wow! So great that you are seeing a difference already. Hope you continue to experience more healing 💚
Been doing it for a year, it’s wonderful 👍
Wim Hof's energy is so beautiful and contagious. What an incredible human being he is!
I thank you Wim for changing my life and those of my friends. I only have a warm shower once a month, and that feels weird. Your breathing techniques and teachings are fantastic. Again gratitude.
Yes, for me a warm or hot bath feels horrible
I intentionally switch from hot to cold twice to maximize the constriction and dilation of the blood vessels. It also allows me to be tolerant of both heat and cold.
The guy he was talking too asked great questions
Just watching you explain the feeling of a cold shower gave me a boost of energy.
I absolutely love this man. I just started 2nd day of his guided breathing video, it really gave me a few good hours of energy. I'm going to continue tomorrow and start this morning cold shower routine after the guided breathing video.
Cold showers bring so many benefits from self discipline to increased muscle mass and concentration it’s mad and it’s something they don’t teach us in school along with semen retention. Anyway I just made a vid on all this and went in deep I’d appreciate if you take a look you’ll learn something great 💯
Taking cold showers for 3 months super exciting dancing in the shower full,of excitement and happiness
Been doing Wim HOFF cold showers and breathing for 3 months now. I must say it absolutely has helped me tremendously in a lot of different areas
I haven’t stepped into a hot shower for 2 years. Waking up to icy cold water is like a shot of adrenaline, it makes me feel fresh and alive, my muscles tense up and my metabolism increases, my brain feels more active and my skin feels less saggy, it’s an amazing feeling. It also gives me the feeling of a Norse God lol
How do you not freeze your ass off and get sick? Do you set the water to ice cold or just mildly cold?
@@bobmango8472 cold temperature does not make us sick only bacteria and viruses make us sick and gene diseases
@@Rickholmesjrmusic you do get a cold

Do you feel less cold in the winter too?
I've been taking cold showers for years now. It felt refreshing at first, but now I don't feel anything. I have noticed I'm more resistant to cold weather, but I can't tell if it's done anything else for me. I continue to do it because I think it helps me deal with cold weather better.
This is the first realistic comment here...
Move to ice baths..then you’ll feel that boost. The body is extremely adaptable.
This is mind blowing for people who have endured depression for a long time without any hope of finding freedom from this evil.
I'm on my ninth year of daily cold showers, discovered Wim after the first couple years.
I came to it naturally, and so did he. Remember, he felt an inkling out of nowhere, to get in the cold pond outside, watch early videos. It was a natural, spontaneous and persistent invitation.
I love it so much I can't stop myself from talking : ) . . . I built a wood sauna, outdoor dunk tank, roll in the snow and had a goal to swim in the frozen river twelve months straight. I swam twenty four months in a row the first two years! : )
I used to dread the winters and the cold. Now, I put ice packs in my big shower bucket every morning, to make it More cold! : )
I live in the great plains u.s. with bitter harsh winters. Cold water, every day, roll in the snow 0 degrees, love it! Then I hum and sing out loud while I make breakfast, ha, feels amazing! I call it a cold sizzle! Like, when you get hit with a snowball, that hot/cold sizzle all over your skin, big drugs released!! go get em, Free!!! Research the breathing, important to have some procedures to follow physically, mentally, if you're new to it. Figure those out. My first shower goals were two minutes, big achievement, you'll feel like a King, (or a Queen!)
. . . . The hardest part of a five minute cold shower is the first five minutes : )
Go for it!!!!!!!!!!!
