Episode notes

In the winter, you develop neurality that is connected to the stress mechanisms inside the brain. Then in the summer, you're able to do something which you only do in the winter. You are confronted by the stress, and you make use of the neurological connection with your stress mechanisms learnt by going into the colt before. And this is the way to successfully battle depression and inflammation. It's amazing and amazingly simple. I was so flattercasted myself. This is the way i found out what is the power of the mind. The moral of it all is, it's not only about the cold. It is about connecting with the stress mechanisms to deal with stress in any shape

Wim Hof is a Dutch extreme athlete noted for his ability to withstand freezing temperatures. Wim has set world records for swimming under ice and prolonged full-body contact with ice and still holds the record for a barefoot half marathon on ice and snow. He attributes these feats to the technique outlined in his book, The Wim Hof Method.

In this episode, Wim and Eric talk about how we can cultivate strength, resilience, and healing within ourselves using the three techniques outlined in his method.
