Today we’re talking to the legendary Wim Hof, a Dutch extreme athlete, also known as “The Iceman.”

Using 'cold, hard nature' as his teacher, his extensive training has enabled him to learn to control his breathing, heart rate, and blood circulation and to withstand extreme temperatures.

His Wim Hof Method combines breathing, cold therapy, and commitment that teaches people of all ages to control their body & mind to achieve extraordinary things. He believes that everyone can tap into their inner potential without having to invest the same decades worth of study, travel and daring.
