Due to his trained ability to withstand extreme cold, Wim Hof has earned the nickname “The Iceman”, and he’s one of the most charismatic and enjoyable people I’ve had the chance to speak with. At 55 years old, Wim Hof is forcing western sciences to re-write text books as he has shown the ability, in a lab setting, to voluntarily control his body temperature, immune system, and various parts of the autonomic nervous system.

Wim holds 26 world records, some of which include:

• Running a marathon in the Namibian desert without water, only wearing shorts.
• Running a marathon in Finland above the arctic circle, barefoot in only shorts at -20 deg celsius.
• Summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in under 32 hours with a group of novice climbers.
• And not surprisingly, Wim holds the world record for the longest ice bath at just under 2 hours.

In part two, we get into the details of some of the University studies that have been done on the Iceman and a few people he’s trained. We break down the physiology and discuss how to spread this knowledge so people can feel healthy, happy, and strong.

You can sign up for his video course, live workshops, and expeditions at www.innerfire.nl and you can try out a free mini-course at www.wimhofmethod.com/video-miniclass/.
