@jedicouncil66 check out the videos under the channel "Advanced Gerson Therapy" is run by Dr Vickers. I have a couple interviews on there with him and he does a great job breaking down the science behind it. Breathing techniques was simple. I would do a routine prior to cold water emersion (at least 2 mins) head and neck area minimal. I also believed in myself and would have meditation sessions focusing on mentally simulating my immune system. I would do this prior to sleep.

@@Anonymous-mv9bm Yeah I have GAD and constant anxiety that skyrockets when I get any amount of stress. It’s like taking a pill that clears all your problems away in that moment. You focus on nothing but the cold
Yeah cold exposure does help a lot. Do a 3 min ice shower every morning it changes you it helps so much. Combine it with journaling self therapy, exercise, a more positive mindset and making other changes to turn my life away from the negativity like not drinking alcohol anymore and i am an absolute new human being. I feel like im tapping into parts of me i never thought id see again. Stay strong everyone!!
Just listening to you is so relaxing, i was unable to work for 6 years cause i was crippled with Rheumatoid Arthritis then 3 years ago my friend told me about the techniques you use. First i started the breathing techniques then reluctantly started swimming in winter for 1hr across our river just very slowly whilst controlling my breathing, to my surprise i got use to the cold in minutes and feel great when i get out so now 3 years later in my late 40’s i now function and feel like a 20 year old. No more medications and best of all 98% of my RA symptoms have gone. The techniques you teach have truely saved me and for that i thank you from my heart.

He literally warns against doing so. You are supposed to do the breathing method before cold exposure
Another benefit of cold exposure is it clears the breathing passages. I used to suffer from constant, severe nose congestion, especially in winter time. It was driving me crazy. There were times when I couldn't focus on my work, couldn't focus on my reading etc. Throughout this winter I was taking cold showers, and my breathing was free on a constant basis. In the heart of winter! I hadn't breathed so freely since I was a kid. Thank you, Wim.
I second that. It clears the passages and the mucus gets expelled. What also helped me was before turning to cold, I use a nose shower while showering. After the shower I almost can smell colors 😄
wow, Im excited to test these, as I have been suffering frim congestion and loss os smell for no reason, I can usually distinguish smells after about 2-3 hours later after waking up.
I live in Northwest Ohio and started cold showers 2 months ago and noticed I can breathe thru my nose and in the winter I’m always stuffed up. Started cold baths tonight, tub probably next
I realized that my anxiety is like cold water (it causes stress on my body) so I started to perceive anxiety as something external to me, and when I feel it I imagine it's just cold water...this helps me to don't identify me with my anxiety which therefore disappears quickly! I can handle it like a cold shower..hope this is helpful for someone else :)
gr8 job gioc. Might be good to not say 'my' anxiety. as it isn't yours or you. it is a figment of our minds powerful imagination. We create it and can also discard it. ty
Wim you have gone through so much of serious stuff in your life and yet raised 4 children succesfully, that I believe your Method works and gives you the strength to face all the serious challenges in life. I really admire what you have done and you are teaching now.
I been cold showering for a week now. And I tell you what? This is what I needed with my change of the mind. Wow what a wake up medicine and rush. Let's go
Been doing them every day for 2 months now and it is awesome! I bought a 1 hp water chiller and a 100 gallon Rubbermaid livestock trough from tractor supply co, you could certainly get away with a 1/2 hp chiller I only got the more powerful one because I'm in Texas and it's about to get real hot.
@@Ret_Linemanwater chillers work amazing provided that you get one that is powerful enough to cool the amount of water in the tub. I have to water chillers that is used in the past to cool my water cooled computer and it would get the temps down to around 2C-4C it’s less work than always having to buy or make your own ice however with the water chiller it take at least 30 minutes give or take to start chilling the water depending where you have the tube inside the house or outside. Outside the house is better especially depending on how cold it get outside meaning less time for the water chiller it takes to get the temperatures really low.
In preparation for this morning’s 41 degree/5 min plunge, I watched this video n read these wonderful comments - I needed the motivation on this Monday morning. Here’s my story: I’ve been IF for five years, and have cold plunged every single pre CrossFit workout for nine months. I’m 59 this month and have never been stronger. I deadlifted 245 9 times in today’s workout - a PR. That’s actually a dramatic PR. Pre w/o cold plunge supposedly increases Testosterone - my experience is that I’m stronger, calmer, sleep better, and feel better than ever. Love you all. Keep it up.
I learned to do this when my electricity was out for 3 days, LOL. Now started again with a slightly warm shower and gradually keep turning it down. Then last 2 - 5 minutes in pure cold, makes me feel great !!
Have you ever done a icebath? For some reason I find cold showers harder to do. Flowing water definitely makes it colder but the water temperature is higher. Curious to see what others think.
I was having horrible anxiety constantly and I started the breathing and cooler showers about 3 weeks ago. Going colder now. Without thinking about it for a while I realized the anxiety was gone! I am also recovering the chronic pain and stiffness I've had since I was a kid. I'm a 74year old woman and happy to say Ive been an outlier my whole life. . I'm ON the program!!
All I know is that I did these exercises for 3-4 months and my PTSD went away, stress levels where lower then ever and I had a heart rate of an athlete.
What I've learned the most about health is you must have brief moments of stress followed by long moments of recovery. The cold, for example, makes you stressed for a moment because your body suddenly must warm you up. But then, you recover, making you stronger and less stressed by the cold as a result. People misunderstand stress because they think it should be avoided at all costs, but a complete lack of stress weakens you further. Similarly, people should only do a little stress because their bodies won't find the time to recover.
Wim, my actual saviour and the human who gives me hope and the ability to face life. Thank you so much... what an incredible journey we as humans find ourselves on together ❤️🌏🌍🌎🙏
I’ve been doing this for 30 days and I cannot believe the difference ! What I want to know Wim is how to we spread this message further ? I have a little boy who is also obsessed with you lol, I’m an illustrator and I’d love to work with you on a book that we could put into schools , I wonder if you will see this message or how I can get onto you ??!! Hoping to hear from you , gratitude and thank you for being such a generous human ❤❤❤
Did you ever connect with Wim or his team about your book idea? I think that would be amazing! This needs to get into the schools. What I do to spread the benefits of cold exposure is jog around my neighborhood in just my shorts throughout our cold Canadian winters. Gets people's attention when it's -20 ° C 😜🤙
I’ve been taking cold showers daily for seven years. It took about four months to get used to the cold. This was very difficult to do, although in time the cold showers will become your “new normal.” Tough it out, it will get easier in time.
@@H-youtube7 Try hot/cold showers for the first year, then go cold. It will be easier to develop the habit and stick with it permanently. In time, I actually preferred the cold showers. The first ninety seconds will always be an adjustment. But you get used to it. The best part is the adrenaline rush you get for about fifteen minutes after you get out of the shower.
Thanks - I hope it will get easier. Been doing it for 10 days, starting with a warm shower then colder and colder. Still find it difficult but am pressing on.
@@TransparencyPlease I actually did hot/cold showers for two years. Before I went cold. Trust the process. I told myself I would do a cold shower everyday, until it became normal. For me “normal” came at about four months. I will never go back to warm showers. The rush after the shower is awesome. Hang in there! ✝️
Everyone has their own journey with this technique, mine personally has been incredible. The benefits I have seen from Coldwater exposure have been life-changing.💪🏽💙
@@akirahojo2 5 to 10 each mornig, sometimes 15 mins these days cause the water is around 12 degrees , my record was 15 minutes at winter cold 4 degrees
Wim Hof, you are a living legend. I meet so many people who have been helped into living a healthy and happy life through your teachings. There is no way that I can possibly thank you for getting this great information out to us all.
Been doing it daily for quite a while now and there is nothing like it. The cold water gives you the very happiness that others mistakenly seek in drugs, entertainment and consumption.
@@calantha203 I do but only for about 10 seconds at a time as it will start to hurt your head if it's constantly running on it. With my 5 minute cold shower I keep the cold water running over the body and then every so often during those 5 minutes I'll put my head under it so it flushes my hair and face with cold water. I probably do this about 3 times during the 5 minutes so in all it's about 30 seconds.
@@cornelishenk4569yes I got that. I went in the sea. Freezing water was ok but coming out was terrible. My head hurt so bad and I was in bed sick for two days. Will not submerge my head again unless it’s above that temperature.
@@melodyjane8301 You need to do it slower. It's possible to do it but in open water like lakes and the sea you need to be prepared. I did it in a frozen lake but it felt like a huge physical battle afterwards. In sea I can imagine the flow is pretty reckless.
For everyone like me who only takes boiling hot showers, don't think you can't do this! I washed myself in warm water then I just slowly turned the hot water off, and there was only maybe 5 seconds where i felt really cold, but after that - I felt stimulated and somehow joyful and like I'd achieved something really great without much effort at all. I felt like i was a kid again, swimming in the ocean at the start of spring when the water is still cold. Will definitely be doing this again tomorrow
This is how I started and I've recently started having 100% cold ones for about ten minutes. They feel amazing now. I quite literally look forward to having them. Come out feeling buzzing in body and mind for hours after.
@@vickiewessel2478 start at 15 seconds and then work it up by 5 seconds at a time until you get to 1-3 minutes. Then if you are comfortable increase a little further to 5 minutes which is where I'm at now. I may increase to 7 or even 10 minutes in the future but I think 10 minutes is the max (or so I've been told).
@@vickiewessel2478 you're welcome. It took me about half a year to get to 5 minutes as I was gradually increasing and then stayed at a certain time for a period as I wasn't ready to increase and then gradually when I felt ready I could increase a little more each time I showered. You can go to the cold 100% but if you are starting you do the cold shower after a warm one. My goal is to do 100% cold for 5 minutes and ice baths.
❤ I had cold showers, followed the breathing techniques for a while. It was a beautiful experience, I had more stamina while training, less stress and more lungs capacity.
All those comments are so positiv and great to read . Im doing cold bath and sauna since 7 years now , currently im 25 , Never felt psysicly better . Trying to get my girlfriend startet Right now . Bless you all 🙏
I heard of Wim Hof the Iceman but never watch his videos . I started to watch his videos since few days ago. He is suc a happy, crazy, fun and positive person. I always love the cold water. On and off, i do cold water plunge etc. Now, I may go further with it.
Thank you my friend. I'v shared your breath work method and teachings as well as your channel to anyone that will listen. You've helped me and several others in my life so I want to thank you.
thank you for this reminder. i need to get back on track with cold baths. i really noticed a difference in my mood and energy levels when i was doing it on a consistent basis. stay frosty ya'll 🧊
I'm in Florida and it's hard to get cold water here. It comes out of the tap at 70F even in January! But I've been able to get it around 50 pretty regularly. One thing I've discovered is that if I keep my hands out of the water, I was able to add to my time without additional effort. Just something that worked for me, hope it works for you if you decide to try it!
Remember Wim to put your face into the cold water. Your Vagus nerves run into and through your face; thus you can see when someone is nervous in their face. This will help shock your body onto that warm state and bring you to that next level of calm coherent heart beat. Breathe well my friends. Just not under the water.😅
Wim you are a very positive person. It's a pleasure to listen to. You can feel the positive energy that you radiate. You are very good at motivating. :-)
Ive been doing this a lot of time, but recently im not able to take immersion anymore, so i take the shower, but i find it is more addictive when ur head and body are on cold, than only body. I hope get the same benefits, this is very addictive.
77, with a heart condition, and been doing his breathwork every day for 40 months now. Great results! Now, the ICE is my next challenge but I am not jumping right into it quite yet. I am not sure my heart and circulation are up to it at this point.
The shower part is good but i am unable to control the after effects, heart gets heavy and starts beating fast, hope u can make a video about it. It would be really helpful. Cheers mr. Hof 🥂
Great Wim , the thing is overcooming the psychological inertai you wouldn't believe the old...on my scheme I had the council and the police around , a few months ago , but some in the council said great ....YES it is psychologically the most difficult protocol , cold showers are ok but don't really cut it , I get into my thoughts too much , lots of obstacles still no tooth buds dupytrens , sacked from NHS post for asking questions , but yes I agree when I do go down to the stream it as if I override all of this !
I have a question. Ok…. Maybe a couple questions. Should I still take warm showers along with cold showers? I ask because taking warmer showers definitely opens pores and you get a better clean. But there are so many benefits to cold showers. Should I start warm and go cold? The last few days I’ve taken warm showers and wash myself, then switch it to cold for the last 2 to 3 minutes. Am I still gaining these benefits from this way?
Hi, carry on what your doing! Any cold exposure is good. Many people that know about this subject tell you to have a warm shower then end it with a cold one
Wim states in his book to start slowly. Start with 15 seconds of cold showering after your normal warm shower for 10 days. Buy his book, it's awesome. Don't try to find it out yourself, he explains everything.
One thing I can say that was a nice surprise from doing cold exposure for over a year. My carpal tunnel is pretty much gone, sure occasionally ill feel a tightness, but I never feel pain or tightness in general anymore. Ive maybe felt it twice in a year with a pulling feeling in the fingers feeling very very slightly. Im sure people that have had carpal tunnel know what im talking about with that feeling. But its awesome, I think its the inflammation improvement from a daily ice bath. My ice bath is usually around -1c to -7c if you would like to know.
I do 5 minutes cold showers now after working my way up gradually from 15 seconds but I'm really interested in doing ice baths. How much ice do you put in the tub and how long should you submerge yourself for like the lovely people in the video? Can you also do cold showers with ice baths? The benefits sound absolutely life changing.
Yes, you can do everything, and do it as often as you want. All you gotta do is listen to your own body. You can do ice baths/cold showers as many times as you want to in a day. Go research on youtube, on these questions you got. Theres a lot of good info. Also with ice baths, staying in submerged: 2 minutes is enough for the benefits. But do it longer, just for the fun or the challenge of it. It depends on how familiar you are with it. Some people do 5-10 minutes. But i recommend starting in the 1-3 minute range.
Also more than 5 minutes, is only for the well-trained induviduals, that have done it for some time. It can cause hypoxia if you're in for too long. (When you're not used to it) But do not worry about this, it can only be good for you - if you do it with caution, listening to your body, and starting slow. - Anton
@@bogaming2457 thanks Anton. That's really helpful information. I didn't want to start ice baths and try and sit there for 10 minutes when I haven't done it before. So 1-3 minutes to start and if I want can gradually work up to 5-10 minutes with more experience listening to my body.
I don't want to deter anyone from trying this method or come across as trying to 'debunk' the method as I know it has worked for many people I know but I found it had the opposite effect on me. I tried it for four months straight....the first month I did genuinely feel a whole lot better like stated in this video....but from month 2-4 I honestly started feeling worse then I did before I started. Lower mood, overall general body pain, I felt like I was burning all through the day and my skin was redder than usual. Basically everything the opposite of what it was meant to be doing. I stopped taking the ice baths about a month ago and now feel 'normal' again. I don't know if I had another illness during this time but the timing can not be coincidence
That’s so interesting. I wonder why you have this reaction. Are your adrenal organs functioning okay? I feel that mine are not due to me experiencing both anxiety and depression at the same time and under external stress (financial). If you can see a holistic doctor to check your hormone and vitamin levels, that might be a good idea. Best of luck!
Thank you Wim. you inspired me to start cold water therapy. I posted my first video on my channel today on the top things that i have learnt in my first 30 days of ice baths!
I've been doing my own ten day cold challenge. I almost made it to ten day, I think 8. I feel the benefits. Is it normal to crave the next step beyond cold showers? Like ice bath, freezing ocean or lakes?
Every day. Yes, I do ICE COLD exposure. Every. Single. Day. I made a built-in ice-cold shower machine 4 years ago and even made a portable one for travel this summer (videos of the build are on my channel). You can build one for yourself. Or even buy the portable one off craigs list if you're in the Carolinas. I've had a miraculous improvement in a chronic health condition. Can't promise the same for you, but if you can make it REALLY EASY to do, you can do cold exposure every day. I will admit, there are mornings where I don't want to do it. But like Wim says, you are in command of the animal part of your brain. Just do it.
Wim - I found you during my journey with Stage III cancer. I started practicing breathing techniques, cold water plunges, adjuct to Gerson therapy. Seven months later I was disease free. Thank you and much love!

Another benefit of cold exposure is it clears the breathing passages. I used to suffer from constant, severe nose congestion, especially in winter time. It was driving me crazy. There were times when I couldn't focus on my work, couldn't focus on my reading etc. Throughout this winter I was taking cold showers, and my breathing was free on a constant basis. In the heart of winter! I hadn't breathed so freely since I was a kid. Thank you, Wim.
I second that. It clears the passages and the mucus gets expelled. What also helped me was before turning to cold, I use a nose shower while showering. After the shower I almost can smell colors 😄
wow, Im excited to test these, as I have been suffering frim congestion and loss os smell for no reason, I can usually distinguish smells after about 2-3 hours later after waking up.
I live in Northwest Ohio and started cold showers 2 months ago and noticed I can breathe thru my nose and in the winter I’m always stuffed up.
Started cold baths tonight, tub probably next
I realized that my anxiety is like cold water (it causes stress on my body) so I started to perceive anxiety as something external to me, and when I feel it I imagine it's just cold water...this helps me to don't identify me with my anxiety which therefore disappears quickly! I can handle it like a cold shower..hope this is helpful for someone else :)
Wow this is amazing thank you for sharing! We suffer for our attachments.
It is!!!!!
Gloc. Spot on friend. Non attachment is a huge option we can practice
gr8 job gioc. Might be good to not say 'my' anxiety. as it isn't yours or you. it is a figment of our minds powerful imagination. We create it and can also discard it. ty
Wim you have gone through so much of serious stuff in your life and yet raised 4 children succesfully, that I believe your Method works and gives you the strength to face all the serious challenges in life. I really admire what you have done and you are teaching now.
I been cold showering for a week now. And I tell you what?
This is what I needed with my change of the mind. Wow what a wake up medicine and rush. Let's go
Been doing them every day for 2 months now and it is awesome! I bought a 1 hp water chiller and a 100 gallon Rubbermaid livestock trough from tractor supply co, you could certainly get away with a 1/2 hp chiller I only got the more powerful one because I'm in Texas and it's about to get real hot.
Really enjoy your channel as well! Tons of great content. I'm also in Texas (RGV). Where did you pick up the water chiller?
Does the water chiller work pretty well ?
Would love to see a video of your setup!
pointless dangerous activity
@@Ret_Linemanwater chillers work amazing provided that you get one that is powerful enough to cool the amount of water in the tub. I have to water chillers that is used in the past to cool my water cooled computer and it would get the temps down to around 2C-4C it’s less work than always having to buy or make your own ice however with the water chiller it take at least 30 minutes give or take to start chilling the water depending where you have the tube inside the house or outside. Outside the house is better especially depending on how cold it get outside meaning less time for the water chiller it takes to get the temperatures really low.
In preparation for this morning’s 41 degree/5 min plunge, I watched this video n read these wonderful comments - I needed the motivation on this Monday morning. Here’s my story: I’ve been IF for five years, and have cold plunged every single pre CrossFit workout for nine months. I’m 59 this month and have never been stronger. I deadlifted 245 9 times in today’s workout - a PR. That’s actually a dramatic PR. Pre w/o cold plunge supposedly increases Testosterone - my experience is that I’m stronger, calmer, sleep better, and feel better than ever. Love you all. Keep it up.
I learned to do this when my electricity was out for 3 days, LOL. Now started again with a slightly warm shower and gradually keep turning it down. Then last 2 - 5 minutes in pure cold, makes me feel great !!
Been doing cold showers for 6 days now. Immediately notice how it helps me regulate my stress, and reaction to stresful things. Lovin it
Have you ever done a icebath? For some reason I find cold showers harder to do. Flowing water definitely makes it colder but the water temperature is higher.
Curious to see what others think.
@@blackcat4859I’ve only done cold showers but I feel more effort would be required to allow your body to get into the ice
I was having horrible anxiety constantly and I started the breathing and cooler showers about 3 weeks ago. Going colder now. Without thinking about it for a while I realized the anxiety was gone! I am also recovering the chronic pain and stiffness I've had since I was a kid. I'm a 74year old woman and happy to say Ive been an outlier my whole life. . I'm ON the program!!
All I know is that I did these exercises for 3-4 months and my PTSD went away, stress levels where lower then ever and I had a heart rate of an athlete.
Cool nick name!
Good to know... Thanks!
Agree Elv. Correcto amigo. Gr8 job
Oh I have hope❤️thank you!!
What I've learned the most about health is you must have brief moments of stress followed by long moments of recovery. The cold, for example, makes you stressed for a moment because your body suddenly must warm you up. But then, you recover, making you stronger and less stressed by the cold as a result. People misunderstand stress because they think it should be avoided at all costs, but a complete lack of stress weakens you further. Similarly, people should only do a little stress because their bodies won't find the time to recover.
Excellent comment! Thanks
It's the chronic long term stresses that kill you slowly. Read about this in one of Nissim Telebs books 🤙
Wim, my actual saviour and the human who gives me hope and the ability to face life. Thank you so much... what an incredible journey we as humans find ourselves on together ❤️🌏🌍🌎🙏
I’ve been doing this for 30 days and I cannot believe the difference ! What I want to know Wim is how to we spread this message further ? I have a little boy who is also obsessed with you lol, I’m an illustrator and I’d love to work with you on a book that we could put into schools , I wonder if you will see this message or how I can get onto you ??!! Hoping to hear from you , gratitude and thank you for being such a generous human ❤❤❤
Did you ever connect with Wim or his team about your book idea? I think that would be amazing! This needs to get into the schools. What I do to spread the benefits of cold exposure is jog around my neighborhood in just my shorts throughout our cold Canadian winters. Gets people's attention when it's -20 ° C 😜🤙
Thank you, Wim, for your endless support and encouragement. Like you say; We are built to be happy, strong, and healthy. Much love
I’ve been taking cold showers daily for seven years. It took about four months to get used to the cold. This was very difficult to do, although in time the cold showers will become your “new normal.” Tough it out, it will get easier in time.
thanks for the honest advice, the people on the video make it look too easy.
@@H-youtube7 Try hot/cold showers for the first year, then go cold. It will be easier to develop the habit and stick with it permanently. In time, I actually preferred the cold showers. The first ninety seconds will always be an adjustment. But you get used to it. The best part is the adrenaline rush you get for about fifteen minutes after you get out of the shower.
Thanks - I hope it will get easier. Been doing it for 10 days, starting with a warm shower then colder and colder. Still find it difficult but am pressing on.
@@TransparencyPlease I actually did hot/cold showers for two years. Before I went cold. Trust the process. I told myself I would do a cold shower everyday, until it became normal. For me “normal” came at about four months. I will never go back to warm showers. The rush after the shower is awesome. Hang in there! ✝️
@@Brian-rs4ug Thanks for encouragement - appreciated
Everyone has their own journey with this technique, mine personally has been incredible. The benefits I have seen from Coldwater exposure have been life-changing.💪🏽💙
Wim is the raison i started cold showers 3 years ago, i do it 4-5 time per week since then, and i love it ! Thanks Mr. Hof !
I started his breathing 5 years ago and still a daily routine. It has helped tremendously, still working on the cold as this was always my nemesis
@frank beaulieu how long is the cold showers each time?
@@akirahojo2 5 to 10 each mornig, sometimes 15 mins these days cause the water is around 12 degrees , my record was 15 minutes at winter cold 4 degrees
do you wet your hair when taking the cold shower? I see no one in the video wets their head
@@CosmicMindSense ?
Hi Wim, nu 12 weken kouder douchen en de laatste 2 weken volledig koud douchen. Fantastisch effect. Dank voor je uitleg.
Wim Hof, you are a living legend. I meet so many people who have been helped into living a healthy and happy life through your teachings.
There is no way that I can possibly thank you for getting this great information out to us all.
Been doing it daily for quite a while now and there is nothing like it. The cold water gives you the very happiness that others mistakenly seek in drugs, entertainment and consumption.
7 months and counting of daily cold showers 🎉 thank you Wim Hof!!
do you wet your hair when taking the cold shower? I see no one in the video wets their head
@@calantha203 I do but be carefull with brainfreeze😂
@@calantha203 I do but only for about 10 seconds at a time as it will start to hurt your head if it's constantly running on it. With my 5 minute cold shower I keep the cold water running over the body and then every so often during those 5 minutes I'll put my head under it so it flushes my hair and face with cold water. I probably do this about 3 times during the 5 minutes so in all it's about 30 seconds.
@@cornelishenk4569yes I got that. I went in the sea. Freezing water was ok but coming out was terrible. My head hurt so bad and I was in bed sick for two days. Will not submerge my head again unless it’s above that temperature.
@@melodyjane8301 You need to do it slower.
It's possible to do it but in open water like lakes and the sea you need to be prepared.
I did it in a frozen lake but it felt like a huge physical battle afterwards.
In sea I can imagine the flow is pretty reckless.
For everyone like me who only takes boiling hot showers, don't think you can't do this! I washed myself in warm water then I just slowly turned the hot water off, and there was only maybe 5 seconds where i felt really cold, but after that - I felt stimulated and somehow joyful and like I'd achieved something really great without much effort at all. I felt like i was a kid again, swimming in the ocean at the start of spring when the water is still cold. Will definitely be doing this again tomorrow
how long do you stay in the cold shower?
This is how I started and I've recently started having 100% cold ones for about ten minutes. They feel amazing now. I quite literally look forward to having them. Come out feeling buzzing in body and mind for hours after.
@@vickiewessel2478 start at 15 seconds and then work it up by 5 seconds at a time until you get to 1-3 minutes. Then if you are comfortable increase a little further to 5 minutes which is where I'm at now. I may increase to 7 or even 10 minutes in the future but I think 10 minutes is the max (or so I've been told).
@@greenkitty82 thank you
@@vickiewessel2478 you're welcome. It took me about half a year to get to 5 minutes as I was gradually increasing and then stayed at a certain time for a period as I wasn't ready to increase and then gradually when I felt ready I could increase a little more each time I showered. You can go to the cold 100% but if you are starting you do the cold shower after a warm one. My goal is to do 100% cold for 5 minutes and ice baths.
Wish i could give a million for helping me get my life back
All the love!
Neil, maybe buy a friend the course. Gr8 work bro.
Such a beutiful man. Thank you for the gift Wim. ❤
I do it because it makes me feel so good!!
Cold showers for now 🥶 and I love it! Thanks for everything my friend!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
I thought this was a joke, then I tried it. Pretty darn cool . Really helped me in all the ways he said in this video.
❤ I had cold showers, followed the breathing techniques for a while. It was a beautiful experience, I had more stamina while training, less stress and more lungs capacity.
All those comments are so positiv and great to read . Im doing cold bath and sauna since 7 years now , currently im 25 , Never felt psysicly better . Trying to get my girlfriend startet Right now . Bless you all 🙏
I heard of Wim Hof the Iceman but never watch his videos . I started to watch his videos since few days ago. He is suc a happy, crazy, fun and positive person. I always love the cold water. On and off, i do cold water plunge etc. Now, I may go further with it.
Thank you my friend. I'v shared your breath work method and teachings as well as your channel to anyone that will listen. You've helped me and several others in my life so I want to thank you.
2 years cold therapy it’s changed my life it’s funny when I’m not sore I hate it but when I’m sore I love it
I do steam sauna then 5 min cold shower. Usually after work!👍
Amazing to let your mind and body release all the hormones.
thank you for this reminder. i need to get back on track with cold baths. i really noticed a difference in my mood and energy levels when i was doing it on a consistent basis. stay frosty ya'll 🧊
It's clear we have an intrinsic connection to the cold. Thank you, my guy!
This guy has such a great vibe 🎅🏻
Big facts on the #1-10 training and reasoning of exposure to cold plunges !!❤😊
would love to meet him someday. beautiful soul
Me too. Wim is the best. A genuinely good man.
Thank you Tio Wim! We love you ❤️
Im reading your book. Its wonderful. Ty very much ❤
I'm in Florida and it's hard to get cold water here. It comes out of the tap at 70F even in January! But I've been able to get it around 50 pretty regularly. One thing I've discovered is that if I keep my hands out of the water, I was able to add to my time without additional effort. Just something that worked for me, hope it works for you if you decide to try it!
Remember Wim to put your face into the cold water. Your Vagus nerves run into and through your face; thus you can see when someone is nervous in their face. This will help shock your body onto that warm state and bring you to that next level of calm coherent heart beat. Breathe well my friends. Just not under the water.😅
🤣
On the video I see nobody putting their face or hair... I want to start but don't know if I take cold shower, should I cover my long hair,?
@@calantha203sure, get your face wet once at least.
Magnífico. Comecei a entrar no frio faz dois meses. Super. Gratidão Wim Hof.
Powerful and free of charge. Get high on your own supply and take the plunge! Gradually....ty Wim
This helped in many ways mentally and physically. Thanks for this
Started my breathing and cold shower today and I’m blown away love you all
I f**king love you Wim!!!!
There is a top ten of everything. But you’re still an inspiration Mr Wim
He is the bridge between the west and east - more power to the WimHof method ❄️
Wim you are a very positive person. It's a pleasure to listen to. You can feel the positive energy that you radiate. You are very good at motivating. :-)
Thank you for everything
Ive been doing this a lot of time, but recently im not able to take immersion anymore, so i take the shower, but i find it is more addictive when ur head and body are on cold, than only body. I hope get the same benefits, this is very addictive.
Thank you for sharing this important information with us
77, with a heart condition, and been doing his breathwork every day for 40 months now. Great results! Now, the ICE is my next challenge but I am not jumping right into it quite yet. I am not sure my heart and circulation are up to it at this point.
Great Video Wim !! Thank You For Sharing This Valuable Information With Us. 🙏
Awesome , well described , I love all those facts ,
I'm a believer thank uou Wim
Love you Wim cold shower morning and night, thank you
I’m on day 6 and it’s freaking amazing!!! Mood, happiness, energy and focus
Breath work and cold is absolutely life changing
The shower part is good but i am unable to control the after effects, heart gets heavy and starts beating fast, hope u can make a video about it. It would be really helpful. Cheers mr. Hof 🥂

I started cold shower 7 days ago and already can go out with a t-shirt, although here is too cold(5° C)
Thank you for the reminder !
👏
Probably best bloke in the Universe 💜
Great Wim , the thing is overcooming the psychological inertai you wouldn't believe the old...on my scheme I had the council and the police around , a few months ago , but some in the council said great ....YES it is psychologically the most difficult protocol , cold showers are ok but don't really cut it , I get into my thoughts too much , lots of obstacles still no tooth buds dupytrens , sacked from NHS post for asking questions , but yes I agree when I do go down to the stream it as if I override all of this !
I have a question. Ok…. Maybe a couple questions. Should I still take warm showers along with cold showers? I ask because taking warmer showers definitely opens pores and you get a better clean. But there are so many benefits to cold showers. Should I start warm and go cold? The last few days I’ve taken warm showers and wash myself, then switch it to cold for the last 2 to 3 minutes. Am I still gaining these benefits from this way?
I'm looking to know the same
Hi, carry on what your doing! Any cold exposure is good. Many people that know about this subject tell you to have a warm shower then end it with a cold one
You're doing it exactly right.
Wim states in his book to start slowly. Start with 15 seconds of cold showering after your normal warm shower for 10 days. Buy his book, it's awesome. Don't try to find it out yourself, he explains everything.
Excellent video!
One thing I can say that was a nice surprise from doing cold exposure for over a year. My carpal tunnel is pretty much gone, sure occasionally ill feel a tightness, but I never feel pain or tightness in general anymore. Ive maybe felt it twice in a year with a pulling feeling in the fingers feeling very very slightly. Im sure people that have had carpal tunnel know what im talking about with that feeling. But its awesome, I think its the inflammation improvement from a daily ice bath. My ice bath is usually around -1c to -7c if you would like to know.
I do 5 minutes cold showers now after working my way up gradually from 15 seconds but I'm really interested in doing ice baths. How much ice do you put in the tub and how long should you submerge yourself for like the lovely people in the video? Can you also do cold showers with ice baths? The benefits sound absolutely life changing.
Yes, you can do everything, and do it as often as you want. All you gotta do is listen to your own body.
You can do ice baths/cold showers as many times as you want to in a day.
Go research on youtube, on these questions you got. Theres a lot of good info.
Also with ice baths, staying in submerged: 2 minutes is enough for the benefits. But do it longer, just for the fun or the challenge of it. It depends on how familiar you are with it.
Some people do 5-10 minutes. But i recommend starting in the 1-3 minute range.
Also more than 5 minutes, is only for the well-trained induviduals, that have done it for some time.
It can cause hypoxia if you're in for too long. (When you're not used to it)
But do not worry about this, it can only be good for you - if you do it with caution, listening to your body, and starting slow.
- Anton
@@bogaming2457 thanks Anton. That's really helpful information. I didn't want to start ice baths and try and sit there for 10 minutes when I haven't done it before. So 1-3 minutes to start and if I want can gradually work up to 5-10 minutes with more experience listening to my body.
I’ve ordered a Lumi Recovery Pod, winter will be awesome!
Grear thanks!! Can you do 10 reasons to do breathing?
There is one important. Living. 😉
Yes Wim , you are correct 100% ! 💙🥶💙🧊💙❄️
I don't want to deter anyone from trying this method or come across as trying to 'debunk' the method as I know it has worked for many people I know but I found it had the opposite effect on me. I tried it for four months straight....the first month I did genuinely feel a whole lot better like stated in this video....but from month 2-4 I honestly started feeling worse then I did before I started. Lower mood, overall general body pain, I felt like I was burning all through the day and my skin was redder than usual. Basically everything the opposite of what it was meant to be doing. I stopped taking the ice baths about a month ago and now feel 'normal' again. I don't know if I had another illness during this time but the timing can not be coincidence
That’s so interesting. I wonder why you have this reaction. Are your adrenal organs functioning okay? I feel that mine are not due to me experiencing both anxiety and depression at the same time and under external stress (financial). If you can see a holistic doctor to check your hormone and vitamin levels, that might be a good idea. Best of luck!
Thank you Wim. you inspired me to start cold water therapy. I posted my first video on my channel today on the top things that i have learnt in my first 30 days of ice baths!
What a guy!! Thank you Wim!!
This guy saved me a lot of pain and depressions. I still hate the cold though...
You grow to embrace it after a while. Blessup.
I see it as a spiritual guider who washes me with healing fluid. That's what I visualise when in cold. It's my spiritual healer.

Mr. Hof is truly obsessed with going into de cold. Think I'll give it a shot.
I've been doing my own ten day cold challenge. I almost made it to ten day, I think 8. I feel the benefits. Is it normal to crave the next step beyond cold showers? Like ice bath, freezing ocean or lakes?
wait 20 more day
I find ice baths way easier than cold showers. 🤪🤙
@@derwynmdockenjr same !!!
Yeah go for it theyre awesome. Ice plunges are colder than a shower though so youll have to work up to going into the crazy coldness.
@@karolinakarolina421 Sorry, why do I think what is the case?
for me cold showers in the evening help me fall asleep faster and more relaxed.
Every day. Yes, I do ICE COLD exposure. Every. Single. Day. I made a built-in ice-cold shower machine 4 years ago and even made a portable one for travel this summer (videos of the build are on my channel). You can build one for yourself. Or even buy the portable one off craigs list if you're in the Carolinas. I've had a miraculous improvement in a chronic health condition. Can't promise the same for you, but if you can make it REALLY EASY to do, you can do cold exposure every day. I will admit, there are mornings where I don't want to do it. But like Wim says, you are in command of the animal part of your brain. Just do it.
#6 is so wise. “By going into the cold, it is you who is going into the cold”
Love Wim ,Improved my life. 😊❤
Exerc-ice.
Nice one Wim. 🤟🏻😁
