WARNING: AS I’VE EMPHASIZED BEFORE, NEVER DO BREATHING
EXERCISES IN WATER OR BEFORE TRAINING IN WATER. SHALLOW-WATER
BLACKOUTS CAN BE FATAL. Wim Hof (@Iceman_hof) is a Dutch world
record holder, adventurer and daredevil, commonly nicknamed “The
Iceman" for his ability to withstand extreme cold. He is the
creator of the Wim Hof Method and holds more than 20
world records. Wim is an outlier of outliers, as he routinely
asks scientists to scrutinize and validate his feats. Here are
just a few examples: In 2007, he climbed past the “death zone"
altitude on Mount Everest (~7,500 meters) wearing nothing but
shorts. In 2009, Hof completed a full marathon above the polar
circle in Finland, in temperatures close to −20 °C (−4 °F).
Dressed in nothing but shorts, Hof finished in 5 hours and 25
minutes. Hof holds the current Guinness World Record for the
longest ice bath, now set at 1 hour 53 minutes and 12 seconds.
But it’s not just cold. In 2011, he ran a full marathon in the
Namib Desert without water. The run was performed under the
supervision of Dr. Thijs Eijsvogels. He can also run at altitude
without suffering from altitude sickness. In the same year, he
was injected with toxins under doctor supervision and
demonstrated that he could effectively control his autonomic
immune response. Wim was able to raise his cortisol levels and
lower his blood concentrations of cytokines (inflammatory
mediators) using solely his meditation and prep techniques. Not
only this, but he was able to train others to achieve the same
effect… with only 4 days of training! We dig into all this
and more. I loved this conversation and hope you do, too...

I love audiobooks. I have two to recommend right off the bat: The
Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman – Perhaps my favorite
audiobook of all time. Vagabonding by Rolf Potts – This book
had a huge impact on my life and formed the basis for a lot of
what has become The 4-Hour Workweek To get your free
audiobook and a free 30-day trial, go to Audible.com/Tim.
You can choose from the two audiobooks listed above or from
180,000+ audio programs. They offer audiobooks, magazines,
newspapers and even classes. It’s that easy. Go

This podcast is also brought to you by MeUndies. Have
you ever wanted to be as powerful as a mullet-wearing ninja from
the 1980’s, or as sleek as a black panther in the Amazon? Of
course you have, and that’s where MeUndies comes in.
I’ve spent the last 2-3 weeks wearing underwear from these
guys 24/7, and they are the most comfortable and
colorful underwear I’ve ever owned. Their materials are 2x
softer than cotton, as evaluated using the Kawabata
method. Check out MeUndies.com/Tim to see my current
faves (some are awesomely ridiculous) and, while you’re at
it, don’t miss lots of hot ladies wearing MeUndies.
