How Cold Showers Are the Best Mental Reset - Wim Hof

it. It's an amazing technique, Whim. And uh what I do now is I wake up in the morning and I have a cold shower first thing. I do your breathing. Then when I go to the gym later, I do the cold shower. I do the breathing in the gym. Everyone thinks I'm crazy because I sound a little crazy in the shower. And then when I come home at night, I do it as well. I haven't had a hot shower, I think, in a year. And I will tell people, it's incredible how effective this technique is. You could be having a tough day, a stress day, a this and that. If you do the breathing and the cold shower, it's like within a minute or two, you're reset. It's incredible how fast it works and how amazing it works. It really is. — Yes. Yeah. What you say is that the thinking brain which goes like and all what is happening you cannot stop it. But when you take a cold shower, you get into the it breaks the pattern goes into the depth of the brain the brain stem. It's now proven and that with that you shut up. You suddenly become silent. You become disconnected of this thinking brain which you like but nobody knows how to do it. So a cold shower will be able to break through disconnect from the world and get back into deep feeling. You just had a study come out in Nature magazine that actually goes deeper into the science of what's happening. What are you learning more and more about the Wimhof technique? — So in the whole wide world stress tools uh generally accepted and implemented our meditation and mindfulness. Now they with 500 people they compared the Wimhof method to mindfulness and meditation and it turns out that this works better significantly better uh to uh toward stress resilience goes way up. stress experience goes way down compared to mindfulness and meditation and cognitive awareness sharpness in the head the mind goes way up compared to meditation and mindfulness and then we got another study done uh with the Harvard University and it's on interosception interception is a new models of neuroscience And it's about trust. They can measure trust. So before and after and it shows that this method makes people trust cooperate without inhibition much better. M — so that is in short the science and it's been uh submitted uh to the uh magazine nature which is one of the best in the world and with 500 people is like beyond any doubt that this method is going to be the stress tool number one in the whole wide world. — Yeah. because it's so simple and it's so effective and anybody can do it. — What the London Real Investment Club actually does for you, it gives you the keys to open that door to the inside deals. In the last 3 weeks, I've participated in three incredible deals. A layer 2 Bitcoin protocol, a an incredible AI protocol. The deal flow is beyond what I expected. I don't think I've ever seen a model like this that just gives a average folks the opportunity to be behind the deals. And that's exactly what we've done. Not only that, you get to hang out with Brian Rose every week. And for me, that was huge because I look at Brian as somebody who's not only an expert in the space and I think is on the leading edge, but just the leading edge of thought with London Real and the work he's doing there. To anyone who's taking a serious look at this, I know it's a big decision. It was a big decision for me and my family and it is one of the best decisions I've ever made. So, I wish you all the best and hope you come join us. Whim, you started doing this 20, 30 years ago and when you started there weren't mobile phones everywhere. There wasn't social media everywhere. with these days, all the kids and the adults now, obviously they're in their heads already, but now you got the phones showing you what everybody else is doing, uh, trying to to give you news that's there to scare you. Um, how much more important these days is it to disconnect and to also force yourself to do something maybe difficult? Yes, there is also a study been done on

the amygdala and hippoc campus. Amydala is the seat of stress and fear. So if you see all these images, the worries, the news in the world, the wars going on and all that affects our it's psychosomatic. It affects our neurology. So it comes in through thoughts but the words become neurotoxic. So if you don't cleanse this neurotoxic uh uh behavior and uh chemistry then it accumulates and it piles up and of course then you become afraid not because of what is happening in the world but you get disconnected inside your own body through the wrong chemistry accumulated. So if you do the breathing and you go in a cold shower, you reset the body, you cleanse the body of these neurotoxins. You influence deeply. You reset it and you are ready again. It's not there. It's not accumulating. It's not piling up. Now you are able to think well and feel unconditionally okay. And that is uh for the people in the world of nowadays fear worries too much minding a emotional stress and all it causes neurotoxicity and that neurotoxicity we just need to clean and this breathing is simply doing that. It goes into the lymphatic system autonomic nervous system. thought of before impossible uh to regulate uh to be regulated at will but now it is there and it is simple. So we can talk about all these so a kind of modern issues but it is very simple an effective natural way to cleanse yourself and to reset the body and mind to its natural standards is breathing is the most closest you can go. You don't need anything outside. You need to go inside and a shower exercises the cardiovascular system fully and with that is the transportation system inside of our bodies. So once it get cleansed uh to the lymphatic system then yeah you just feel ready again you feel okay. These modern issues are not there.
