Developed and refined over the course of nearly forty years, the Wim Hof Method is based on three simple pillars: cold exposure, conscious breathing, and the power of the mind. When we take control of our minds and bodies through Wim’s techniques, he says, “we awaken to our inner source of power and fulfillment.”
Throughout our conversation Wim shares stories about devoted practitioners of the method who have been able to reverse diabetes, alleviate the debilitating effects of Parkinson’s disease, lose weight, and achieve remarkable athletic feats.
We discuss the best way to ease into cold therapy and incorporate breathwork into our daily routine. We also dive into mindset and meditation techniques that can help us tap into our innate inner power. “The secret to a lifetime of health and happiness is within your grasp,” says Wim. You can safely practice the Wim Hof Method by yourself, at your own pace, and within the comfort of your own home—all you need is a desire to unlock your body’s hidden potential.
Wim Hof, also known as “The Iceman,” holds multiple world records for his feats of endurance and exposure to cold, include climbing Mount Everest in nothing but a pair of shorts, running across the Namibian desert at 104°F without drinking any water, and sitting in an ice bath for 1 hour and 52 minutes. He has proven in eight university research studies that he can consciously influence his autonomic nervous system, measurably reduce inflammation, regulate his internal PH levels and body temperature, and activate his immune system to resist the effects of poisonous endotoxins. These studies also show that Wim is able to teach others to achieve similar accomplishments in as little as four days through the Wim Hof Method.

Be grateful!
How long does it take for your body to adapt to cold showers?
1 shower.
@James Nguyen I really doubt that. It more than likely depends on the strength of your vagus nerve and stress response
A few minutes tops. I even wash my hair with shampoo under a cold shower. On average such a shower lasts between 5 and 10 minutes. But: I don’t have any overweight, have no heart condition and am reasonably fit. After every cold shower my body feels warm when I use my towel. It’s a great feeling.
1 hour and a half? Any link with a summary?
Here’s a link to his 10 minute breathing tutorial

Thank you for this video! ❤ Wim Hof is amazing!
What time of the day is the best time for the cold showers? I would think at night for beginners and mornings after you start to adapt.
Hi, beginner here too. Been at it one months with the cold shower in the morning. It is so energizing, I think it would wake me up too much to get to sleep at bedtime, but I never tried it. Give it a try and see what works!
the video has 3 guests. Who is the lady at the end?
I have been doing the cold showers for a month now and rarely miss them now! The. Only thing is my shower water starts to lose some coldness after a couple minutes, so I keep a gallon jug of water in the fridge, and pour it over me when the shower is almost done, really gives me a icy cold boost!
