Show Notes

When Wim Hof was 35, his wife, who suffered from schizophrenia, committed suicide. He then had to raise four young children by himself with no money. His only escape from daily agony was submerging himself in ice water. There, he discovered the physical and mental healing power of ice water. Since then, Wim has revolutionized the way we view the body’s capacity to heal itself using all-natural techniques. In this episode of YAPClassic, Wim will unpack the importance of deep breathing, how he took over his autonomic nervous system, and how to connect with your intuition.

Wim Hof is a Dutch extreme athlete, motivational speaker, and well-being influencer, known as "The Iceman” for a long list of incredible feats involving his ability to withstand extreme cold, including 26 Guinness World Records. He is also the founder of The Wim Hof Method, the science-backed practice of using breathwork, meditation, and cold therapy to voluntarily activate your autonomic nervous system and immune system response and consciously control your response to stress and pain.

In this episode, Hala and Wim will discuss:

- Role of the body vs. the role of the soul

- What’s wrong with always feeling comfortable?

- Why you should be curious about everything

- How do you know what your intuition is?

- Are we in the next stage in human evolution?

- How did Wim Hof become the Iceman?

- The importance of deep breathing

- The Wim Hof breathing method

- How Wim took control over his autonomic nervous system

- And other topics…
