You don’t need years to learn to control your immune system. Wim Hof got it down from ten days, to four days, to half an hour.
In this clip, Wim Hof and Jay Shetty talk about the study where people injected with bacteria that should have made them feverish and vomiting simply didn’t get sick, and what that says about how much of your body you were told you can’t reach.
Wim breaks down the whole method in about a minute: thirty full breaths, exhale, and wait. He explains what happens in the brain stem when your oxygen drops, why that triggers an adrenaline spike bigger than a first-time bungee jump, and what five times more blood flow does to a heart and a brain.
Learn about the man who did 15 push-ups, breathed for one round, and did 40, and why Wim says anxiety isn’t a flaw in you but a signal telling you to clean up before you go up.
