I've been studying the Wim Hof method for about five years. I was one of the first people to learn it from him in Poland. I'm also an investigative journalist and someone who was very skeptical of the super-human sounding claims that he makes. When I went to visit him my plan was to out him as a charlatan, but it didn't turn out that way. In a week I really started to see the benefits. And it just got better from there. I've accomplished pretty amazing things with the method--most notably hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro shirtless last year in January. I have a book coming out about my experiences with him in a few days. You can see a trailer about it if you're interested.
If you want to learn the method there is a 10-week course online that will keep you to a schedule as you train, but it's not really necessary if you don't want to splurge on it. The core is learning the breathing method and becoming comfortable in cold water.
Except he teaches people how to do it.
This guy went to debunk him and was convinced he's legitimate.

It’s called the “Win Hof Method.” It uses breathwork and controlled cold exposure to achieve conscious control of some autonomic nervous system functions, such as vasoconstriction and vasodilation. This Book is a pretty easy read and comes at the whole like like a seasoned skeptic.
You are probably in great shape and have active brown fat deposits for thermogenesis and fat burning. Ever heard of Wim Hof?

Hi Joel, One of the most helpful things I've found on your blog is the clod
shower trick. It is something simple and short that I can do every day that has
a huge impact on how I think. Do you have any other short exercises for brain-
training/dramatic thought change like that, or any advice on how to develop my
own?

Fair play to you mate! An incredible achievement to have. Ive done an ultra
marathon myself, 62miles (100km) so know what you went through, but not after
your 1st one I dont. I cant imagine the pain you went through, I nearly lost my
big toe due to doing mine. A question about entrepreneurship: How does one
go from having an idea to getting it to be real, with zero cash? Kind Regards
Lozza

Hey Joel, I was just curious about which towns in Guatemala the schools were

During my first weeks with the CST I researched on the cold effects on the body and found a lot of info on this dutch guy.
With breathing exercises and cold exposure he can regulate his body temperature and produce even some sort of enhancement of his inmune system.
He climbed mount Everest and the Kilimanjaro(with some of his students) just wearing shorts.
You should check out Scott Carney's book. A really good read if you are into cold.
Keep up the good work Joel!
Thanks!!
Don't listen to what Wim says. Listen to what he does, and try it yourself. You can learn the essentials from any of the hundreds of youtube videos out there.
I've tried it and there's no question that it affects the body. Can it cure inflammatory diseases? I don't know. That's what I'm on tnf-alpha inhibitors for anyway. But there's a ton of people reporting that they have gotten better with his breathing excersises and cold exposure. Can it be placebo? Sure, placebo is as strong as 25%. Is it only placebo for everyone? No. People apply his lifestyle to an otherwise hopeless and miserable life and get better. Will this work for everyone to treat everything? Of course not. Does it completely lack merit? No.
If you're at all interested in these things I suggest the book What Doesn’t Kill Us: How Freezing Water, Extreme Altitude and Environmental Conditioning Will Renew Our Lost Evolutionary Strength by Scott Carney. Although Wim's training takes a big part of the book he's more articulate than Wim and there are many other methods and people interviewed that also uses extreme methods to gain an edge.
The fact that I'm seeing this today is crazy; Amazon had recommended me a book a month and a half ago called: "What Doesn't Kill Us," really great read from another journalist named Scott Carney, he had followed Wim Wof and trained with him. I just finished it last night, a great read if you think this type of stuff is interesting.
