263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

The autonomic nervous system was supposed to be beyond your
control, medicine said so for decades. Wim Hof proved them wrong,
and the data is now published in some of the most prestigious
peer-reviewed journals on the planet. In this episode, I’m with the
“Iceman” to unpack how breathwork triggers a respiratory alkalosis
that activates the adrenal axis, suppresses cytokine storms, and
enhances glymphatic brain waste clearance by up to 800%! CLICK HERE
