Summary

This week we are throwing it back to one of our most popular How 2 Tuesdays from 2019: In October of 2015 I came across a documentary that changed how I started my day. Vice did a documentary about a Daredevil named Wim Hof who, through a breathing technique, was able to do amazing things previously believed to be impossible. He ran a marathon barefoot in the Arctic Circle, another marathon in extreme heat, he climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in shorts and even went up Everest in a pair of shorts. He set world records for swims under frozen lakes, he stayed in ice up to his neck longer than anyone to set a World Record. He was also able to influence his autonomic immune system in a laboratory environment to astound the scientific community. What was the most impressive to me, though, was that he claimed that he could teach these methods to anyone and that anyone could do what he has done. Strong claim…but he proved it by takin untrained people right up Kilimanjaro and teaching a group of people to alter their autonomic immune system in a lab just as he had done. I was intrigued, so I tried it and I felt changes immediately. I have started every day with this protocol since. Do not take my word for it.

2:27.6	Maybe it's lucky, maybe it's because of the breathing technique. I don't know, but I hadn't been sick since 2015 and that's pretty great and I also see great
