- Please enjoy my 2nd podcast conversation with 'The Iceman' Wim Hof -- a modern-day force of nature who has mastered the art of breath to unlock heightened states of consciousness and untapped reservoirs of human potential to do the unfathomable.
Disclaimer: Never practice any of the breathing exercises described in this conversation without proper supervision. Avoid doing them before/during any activities where a loss of consciousness may prove life threatening. The breathing methods discussed may have a profound effect and should be practiced exactly as explained and always in a safe environment.
Enjoy!

Thank you for a wonderful conversation and sharing some light with all. Big hug buddy! Love
Hi wim you have helped me regain my balance within myself. Much love too you.
I hope this is you hahaha and if so please reply
helping me so much.. so much. Thank you. :)
Wim can you look at Chronic fatigue syndrome/m/e in particular...I'm part of a wim hof group for m.e. and unlike other illnesses, no one makes progress. we all try
The cold is our warm friend!!! Thanks Wim for sharing your experience. ☃️☃️☃️
I am 46 years old. I have had ptsd, adhd, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, attachment and addiction issues all stemming from childhood trauma. I’ve been on and off anti depressant medication all my life. Nothing really worked. I started the WHM a year ago and everything has completely changed. All these symptoms have disappeared. It’s real people. Get in the cold water and it will change your life. Thank you Wim Hof, you are a light that the world needs. Thank you man, you saved my life! ❤
How long before the anxiety went away. I’m tired of living with this crap.
How are you guys doing now? Still practicing cold exposure therapy?
@@Eserr7856 Everyday.
You can't truly understand this man's teachings unless you give it a try. One of my favourite quotes from past interviews with Wim is "You won't find the meaning of life from reading books, YOU are the book, and you need to open up." I started my adventures with the cold about two years ago. It is a beautiful and empowering thing. It can be difficult to start, but anything truly worthwhile is. Think I'm wrong? Give it a try. =)
Are you still doing it? How has it helped you?
From 4 or 5 days I’m into it! Incredible! 🙏 life changing
@@jewel2022now Yes I'm still doing it. I prefer to be in the sea or a lake, but if that's not possible I Have an ice bath at home. I go in for 15 minutes every other day. It really boosts my energy levels and just makes me feel great generally. I haven't gotten sick in ages (apart from Covid which hardly affected me at all).
@@kiero1236 I just started. I nearly psyched myself out of doing it this morning, but I did it. It's good to hear from someone who powered through.
Beautifully said!
I could care less about nit picking his understanding of the actual physiological science, his method simply works. Never thought I could love cold showers after being raised in the woods of PA with one space heater and outside showers under a hose with snow on the ground. I hated cold. Now I am so thankful for it. I have never started my days so alive and ready for anything. Thank you, Wim Hof.
You made me laugh! I experienced outdoor showers with a hose in the dead of cold Utah winters. I thought it was one of life's lowest points. Guess not!
@@dagneytaggart407 yeah I lived in a shack in Mississippi with only a wood burning stove in the living room and no indoor plumbing so taking cold baths was simply a part of life. We also did intermittent fasting ( aka dirt poor) funny thing is we never got sick and always had tons of energy 🤔
Wim Hof is the opposite of anxiety. Anxiety tricks your brain into thinking something is wrong with your given circumstance. Wim Hof tricks his brain into thinking nothing is wrong (even if it is).
This guy is on fire! He is so right; I have proven it myself by changing my thoughts and habits. I'm curing my PTSD and self-harming thoughts and actions. Thank you.
🤗🖖🌈🕉
The journey to Ataraxia I am very happy to hear that you are doing better doing this that's amazing! Take good care of yourself and never give up ‼️☮️❤️
Awesome Amanda! Cheering you on! This stuff works!
Thank you ! Dear Heart for choosing well being
How?
Amazing!
I am about to complete my first year free of illness thanks to Wim Hof's techniques. Eternally grateful for is commitment to the elevation of humankind. Great interview.
Hi Dieyen DualPen what illness were you suffering from? I am very interested in conquering autoimmune disease through this and other methods.
@@SamuelDavidAdams a different method that has helped many with autoimmune disease: www.meatheals.com 3 days in I stopped taking 400-2400 mg a day of ibuprofen for chronic back and hip pain that last over 15 years. stopped snoring after 30 years, lost 45 lbs in 6 months, never had so much energy, lots more positives than just those...
how often do you do the breathing technique and cold showers?
Samuel David Adams th-cam.com/video/gaY4m00wXpw/w-d-xo.html
I've been doing it for about 6 months. I had some serious health problems. They are almost all gone. I'm in the best shape of my life.
Every time I watch Wim he says something so profound he hasn’t said in any other interview. A depth of knowledge and intuition.
Think i’ve watched every interview😂
@@tarandeepbudhraja8986 Lmao bro I rewatch these interviews because of how awesome it is.
Alex Boehm hahaha im just one month in, will be doing that too hahah
@@tarandeepbudhraja8986 Good shit. I'm combining this with the gym, being vegan and meditating.
Alex Boehm damn you are doing very well hahah. I started this to get over a girl, and it does help very well hahah. Im getting into meditation as well lately.
I remember as a child we all swam in the creek.. The water was always very cold once we got under the water I remember how warm my body stayed the longer we kept swimming..I also remember how alive and exhilarated I felt after our swim.
I love WHM because I am a minimalist. Breathing, cold and letting go of all kinds of useless stuff we don't need.
I'm going to heal from major depression and crippling anxiety with daily Wim Hof method.
@anthrax so far so good, but I'm still taking my medication (10mg Escitalopram). It was initially so bad that without medication I couldn't even function to start any kind of routine. I'm planning to reduce the dosage during spring while continuing the Wim Hof method. I've slept really well and some days I feel motivated and uplifted.
@@Vestu i am with you bro lets fight this thing
@@Hugo-xl5mw Awesome! Yeah let's! Still going strong. Just gotta make it a consistent habit. I made myself a calendar with a checkbox for each day "[x] Cold shower taken". Take the cold shower especially when you feel like skipping it :)
@@Vestu thats awsome! its crazy the effect of the cold shower followed by the breathing....lets keep eachother accountable to it!
keep at it. all the love. all the power.
Tried breathing technique today and wow it’s unbelievable fantastic
We love you Wim
Wim is such a beautiful human. Look at how he talks, look at what he says!
Funny story : I once mentionned Wim Hof in a job interview and I’m 100% sure they thought I was a huge liar because the interviewer rolled his eyes when I said Wim climbed MT Everest past the death zone in shorts and boots. I didn’t get the job. But I still listen to Wim haha.
Create your own job it's easier
Screw those puppets
Being a former NHL enforcer and struggling with PTSD, anxiety I am living proof this works, I own a cold plunge, I do the breathing, meditating every morning, every day. 40 degrees 5, min a day, utopia and positive change. Thank you Wim, thank you Rich, I bought your book, it's incredible, congrats on your success and sobriety, my friend.
Please look into cbd oil. It's not weed. It's different. Please, it may help you
Same thing can be done with cannabis
@@seds94you are missing the point. With these techniques there is no need for other substances, just the chemistry of the body
I have PTSD. For 7 years I have struggled to be non-judgmental, critical and to become loving because I am consciously on a spiritual path. With in the first day my negative thinking disappeared!!!!!!! I am on day 3 and this morning was the first time in my life I enjoyed a cold shower. THIS WORKS. Thank you Wim, Wendy
Are you still doing the cold showers?
How long do you do the cold? 3 minutes or more? I’ve heard 3 minutes is all that’s necessary.
It’s been one year are you still doing the cold showers?
@@benicio1967I spend 3 minutes in my ice ath 1st thing in the morning, and 1 minute of cold in the shower, every day. I'm 2 months in and have stopped taking all pharmaceutical drugs and I feel 20 years younger, less stress daily.Try it, cold water will not hurt you!!!
Great interview. I had dealt with chronic pain since 2007. Three weeks into WHM off all medications and living free from pain. I’m blown away how something so simple works with such great results. Thanks to you Wim, I’m a believer.
I am Dutch. He speaks from time to time literally translated Dutch. Funny.
Via Wim I started with every morning yoga sun salutation, breathing meditation, cold shower. Great. Sort of corner stone in what I did to lose this seemingly chronical tired feeling I had for decades. I succeeded.
His English might not be perfect, but he is very eloquent and the words he uses are very meaningful. Wim Hof- LEGEND.
Lekker beziggg
The cancer topic is dangerous... much respect to wim hof... you are a hero... but it's simple, we are able to do it by our own... we got the Power!
Haha you ARE changing the world! You've changed my world, I had never met a teacher that reasonated so purely, wildly, and powerfully. Guiding me into myself through the practise, not the preach. Much LOVE
Yay!
I want to tell the whole world that I have performed the simple Wim Hoff breathing and am amazed at the immediate things happening in my body even as I am writing this. How I wish I can access the whole package.
Ice baths and cold showers saunas oysters earthing barefoot on the beach and in the woods, deep breathing , meditation, sun gazing energy morning . Thank you so much WH..! You have assisted me in uncovering my true essence and ONENESS and the magic of soul ...
Sungazing... poor eyes :(
@@veglord4481 stars = sun so hes not wrong
I also use an ice bath, but I have it of poor quality and uncomfortable, which one did you buy for yourself, what do you like and dislike most about it?
@@xxxlexaxxx7778 use my home tub .
@@xxxlexaxxx7778 also cold plung in the ocean . Cold showers also work , depending where you live and how cold your tap water is . Bryan Johnson Blueprint. Ai will soon take all the guess work out of being healthy and living longer . All the gurus and snake oil salesmen will be gone . Good luck , see you in 2500.
Freedom is through Christ, these euphoric sensations can be found within the heart of one who has been set free. Life is so beautiful and it doesn't require you to do anything but trust in His sacrifice. Imagine receiving the ultimate gift of unconditional love.
It is the most amazing, strongest, and beautifull message of ending the war of anxiety and open into love, joy and confidence. Take a cold shower every Day and learn the breathwork. And the cold helps you to find your deep breathing and conscious breathing during the Day and your body become alkaline and refind the right chemistry - and “the light is the love and the love is the Universe “ - thank you for sharing your wonderfull work
Wim Hoff breathing has been such a blessing from God for me.
Thank you Wim Hof, I have watched a few of your videos on this and I just finished the Jordan Peterson Video you did on Dec 6th, 2020. I myself have Neurological conditions and I have a Deaseas called Neurofibromatosis type 2. I just repeated your exercise 3 times and was able to hold for 1 min 45 seconds. I hope to accomplish a physiological reset to fix my self. I cannot thank you enough for what you are doing for all of us who are lucky enough to receive your message of hope.
Holy cow ANYBODY with access to this information is blessed ! It’s absolutely life changing
He is my new favorite person in the universe ✨ 💕
I used to be racked with full body Arthritis, cramps in fingers, hands and feet. I felt toxic\acidic for years.. With the Wim Hof breathing and a self healing practice I've been developing. I no longer have any issue's wits these. Thanks Wim💞
Wim Hof is super admirable. And Rich, you are so intelligent in your responses and your questions. Keep up the good work Wim and Rich.
He is the more inteligent person with a beautiful heart in the world.❤️🙏
Wonderful and thanks to Mr.Hoff for providing the breathing techniques for free ! True humanity ! I genuinely feel this man should get Nobel prize for teaching how to be healthy simple and effective way !
Mr Hof is not the "discoverer" of new mental abilities but the mental archaeologist uncovering ancient ones that have always been there. Thanks to him I can say" Go the Hof "and actually mean something uplifting & positive. Instead of an inane meme. Those who ever watched baywatch know what I mean.
Happy + Healthy + Strong = Truly Free... I realize this is 5 years old at this point, but thanks so much for posting this podcast, I'm a big fan of Wim and his practice. It has helped me (and continues to do so) with so many physical conditions from fibromyalgia to chronic arthritis pain, sleep apnea, chronic headaches, and auto immune conditions, among others. I love his perception of the mind-body connection... very similar to the native philosophy that everything is connected, we are all related, and the sacred hoop of life. Very interesting- I'm currently studying the idea of what psychology calls "genetic memory", and how it may have a play in all my physical troubles (through genetic memory of past experiences of my ancestors and the learned responses they may have passed on to me). Stay happy, healthy, strong, and free! ~Tim, Alaska
Thanks Tim. Remember YOU are in control. Stay strong, happy, and healthy.
Hell yeah guys, Wim Hof is back! And more inspiring than ever❤️🙏🏻no ego, we go!☯️🌹
NOBEL PRICE FOR WIM HOF NOW .
Please please please
Prize
God gave us the cold, Wim and Rich. He gave us each other that we may love and care for each other .... this is a great example of that love.
Great interview with Wim Hof and I learned alot more. I started practicing the method about 5 years ago for tendonitis in my left lower leg from an achilles tendon rupture years ago. The method did more for my problem than any prescribed pills doctors had prescribed me over the years. They left me high and dry. And I don't think I'd be alive today if I did not try the method. It also helps with my PTSD issue.
One of the most inspirational and real guys out there. I have three people who I look up to, Wim Hof is one of them. Thanks for existing in my lifetime!
Who are the other 2?
Michael Goggs And the other two are?
@@RobMatthews21 three people i admire the most father son and the holy gost.
What other two??
Chris jenner and andrew tate
"Get high on your own supply"-Wim Hof. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best 2 people to make a podcast together
Don't forget about Joe Rogan.......
He speaks from the heart and soul. He is truly amazing and I started practicing some of his teachings. I am already experiencing my physiological changes to my mind and the body. Thank you so much for sharing the abundance of potential within our mind and the path to unlock it. Truly inspirational. Love to this wonderful man Wim Hof and thanks to Rich Roll for hosting.
Thank you so much for this interview! Wim is such a beautiful person! He’s got it right. We’ve turned our back on Mother Nature and are paying the price BIG TIME.
Going into the deeper layers of ourselves and getting back to nature should be taught in all of the schools. We wouldn’t have all this opioids and loneliness epidemic 28:37.
We’ve got to stop all this sectarian nonsense in the world - it’s dividing families and making people miserable.
Like Wim says, “It’s time for the SOUL - It’s all about Happiness, Strength and Health, and the rest is BULLSHIT!”
Absolutely LOVE Wim and his perspective and to share everything so freely with the world. Keep on truckin Wim. I am a fan!! Been doing your breathing technique for 1 week followed by a cold shower each morning and I feel so connected and clear and happy. Thank you so much.
Hell yeah HOF! It’s easier for someone to come at this with science then the yogis who just say to do it.
In kundalini yoga taught by yogi bhajan he advocates a similar start to the day. By stretching and pranayama(breath exercise) then Ishnaan(cold shower). Great to see it all connecting.
Wim is the guiding light! Thanks for having him on again.
Wow, so glad to find this man. So glad to be alive!
So thankful for your work, message, and drive let people know that the power to feel and be better is within us all. You have confirmed many things I have believed all my life, but had no idea how to tap into. Your story is a real testimony to the human spirit. It’s very humbling and inspiring to see how a journey borne in the depths of suffering and tragedy could rise to the highest level of human existence. The multitude of lives you have and will touch and improve is an incredible way to honor the memory of your wife and your love for her. Thank you
science of the soul...perfect!
Love Love Love this so much.. this is it!! So close and possible for everyone! When i did the breathing and then the cold shower for the first time.. OH MY.. What a power, clarity and fitness i felt!! Much love and gratitude
the Wim Hof method is helping me get my life back
Into the basics such as cold shower and breathing kept me away from flu and fever for two years~ thank you Wim
WOW. Just, wow. Definitely going to give the course a try. And Mr Hof's impression of those annoying, cave-dwelling, esoteric-knowledge-hoarding yogis is by FAR the best I have ever seen/heard. Bless 🙏
I did a cold shwr last night and it was amazing!!! I'm gonna do a short cold shower twice a day.
I haven’t taken an Ashwagandha or L-Theanine for anxiety in 4 days. Interesting to me, I started my cold baths and breathing 4 days ago.😆God bless you Mr. Wim Hof!!! Update......it’s been 2 months now and still GREAT!😂🎉😂🎉
I'm a man struggling with anxiety for the past 10 years. Did ashwaganda help you?
@@seds94 do the Method and cold showers man.
Still working a year later?
love you Wim Hof
I always do for 15 minutes on icebath with immerse my head into within 40 seconds. I never get sick again. Greetings from Laos nears Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam countries
Sweet! Same here. This is truth!
Beautiful countries. All of the countries you named are amazing . Bless you. I am looking into the Durian fruit.
Freaking awesome!!!! Wim is showing the way. This means true hope for us to solve health, political and social issues. We are at core creative loving beings and are way off track due to civilization. Nature is the way and Wim is showing us how. Thank you, Wim! Undertatement. Very exciting times to be alive
It's God! Through Him we can do all good things!
WOW, JUST SO POSITIVE AND POWERFUL, enough to be the change of the future, just by becoming willing to learn Wim' s methods and sharing it with others. Thank you so very much, for exposing so many to such valuable information. I'm all in brothers !!!! I thank you both kind sirs. Mr Hof & Mr Roll.
I am so grateful for the research and scientific experiments that he is doing to uncover exactly how it all works. As a yogi, I have experienced the healing and beauty of breathing exercises, but I like to know the how of it also. I definitely know that learning to breathe is a transformative experience.
That’s something to remember that nature is merciless but righteous.
I love you Wim you are wise man from the west that simplifies life. Thank you. Hopefully one day I’ll meet this amazing man.
The Man is great. I love listening to his story. I hope others take him on to prove his methods.
I've been Wim Hofing for about a year. I would walk around in a T-shirt when it's -30 c. People think I lost my mind. I tried to introduce the Wim Hof Method to them. But so far, all they do is laugh about it.
Same
Same
Some people wont be helped - No matter how.much they need it.
It is such a shame having to see your loved ones being sick and they only believe in doctors.
@@susannekrog1069 "A person can be reached only at his own level and only to the extent of his capacity. When there is no capacity to understand, you cannot force even the greatest and most wonderful treasures on a person. A prophet who keeps on preaching the word to a rock is undoubtedly a lunatic." This is a Quote from a book titled Red Lion: The Elixir of Eternal Life. I find it so liberating. I used be bothered for being a "weirdo" about almost everything. After reading this book and many others, I'm ok to be a "weirdo". As a matter of fact, I'm very happy and grateful to be a "weirdo". I am blessed.
just the simple breathing method?
Wim Hof is so awesome! So much love for his passion for life. So happy to be living in a time to spread this positivity ❤️
"Ice is nice and wise
If you learn how to deal with that."
Great interview!
So true💚thank you so much for educating me. Love Wim💚
It is so refreshing hearing from a man who understands the beauty of life, that we each have a soul and we are loved unconditionally. Fear goes away when you really understand this. Love Wim Hoff!
The man, the myth, the legend! Beautiful interview!
First time hearing of Wim Hof, but WOW, total legend.
Excellent interview! My first time to listen Mr. Roll. You ask very good questions and you let Mr. Wim Hof speak! I will be listening to more of your podcasts!
Thank you Wim for being the pioneer... the scout!
Amazing podcast again, thank you for the wisdom and inspiration. This man deserves all the respect in the world.🙇🏽♀️ Bedankt Wim!
FINALLY. I've waited for your Wim podcast (or a continuation thereof) to be fully available on TH-cam. ☮️🌱
AWESOME INTERVIEW!!!! WIM HOF IS SO RIGHT ON!!!!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
Wish there were more like him to make world liveable
Well. The actual message of Wim is to become yourself from within your inner temple. So, the other way round.
Also, I have been doing the cold shower thing for 3 years now. Has really done as lot for me! I love it!!!
@Agua de Estrellas , it has boosted my immune system. I NEVER get colds anymore or anything else either. My skin feels awesome too! And my recovery time from weightlifting and running has been greatly reduced.
One of the best conversations EVER heard.
Really glad to hear someone pointing out that there is a race to set the direction of the future of humanity. It's not guaranteed that those with higher values will win. I wonder about this a lot when I see Wim Hof interviews.
Luv this guys work, (WIM) spread the word, spread the love, we can all be happy,healthy and strong
We are in strange times Rich said when he posted this video. I say, give it 6 months Rich :)
What people don’t know that this is really the mind doing the healing- belief is central. Obviously I don’t have time to relate it all but wins method is tapping into this God gifted body and it’s ability to heal itself.
Rich, thanks for this interview. Keep up the great work. All the best to you and Wim!
What an interview with equally amazing questions and answers!
do we really know what we are watching?? this is massive for human life! thank you brothers x
Groundbreaking commentary. What a legend 🙏
How lucky I am when I stamble into dr jason fung, wim hop and dr joe dispenza when my body was so desperate for healing at a time when I was unemployed and had no resources to take care of myself thank you soooooo much the universe and the creator, now I know that my body can heal itself by thought, believe ,awareness and breathing' iam not alone, you are not alone, we are not alone , explore the power of your mind, may the universe bless the dr joe, dr jason and wim richly 'Amen'
God Bless You Rich for bringing Mr. Hof to talk about this very interesting way of learning to deal with anxiety, depression, ptsd, etc.
So happy Wim is back!
this guy is so right on - love you !!!!!
Wim Hof is brilliant.
The essence of meditation are not the fleeting experiences but the awareness, says Mingyur Rinpoche
Thank you so so much!!! I am so grateful for this amazing and beneficial conversation, and it's simple application. One day at a time. Yay!
You are Such a comforting for human Beiings. To Lean on there power inside to concer themselves. Having trust in themselves. I love the way you teach.
This is the best interview I’ve found with Wim! I’ve been finishing my showers with cold water for years, never really knew what I was doing, it just felt good. I love the cold and look forward to winter. Listening to Wims story and feeling the changes from the breathing techniques, I’m all in.. I’m going to jump in Boston harbor this winter! Love it!
Perfect podcast.... Wim is wise as always and Rich give him the respect that he deserves.
God Bless you Wim Hof!!!!!!!
I so much agree with the way of unconditional love,. It is the way to go if we could only love every one like our own children, parents, grand-parents, friends... that's the way to go for!!! Thanks Wim!
You guys just eminate peace and love.
This is one powerful conversation.. one of the best, damn
Great interview Rich, I appreciate that you let Wim speak. Thanks bro. Much love 💕
I love you man.. found you by mistake.. I watch soooo many different hosts on TH-cam for YEARS... I love Rich roll.. you are an awesome man.
