Medical mystery revealed | Wim Hof | TEDxBreda
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 ноя 2015
- Wim Hof is a person who has broken a lot of world-records by confronting his body with extreme low temperatures. He was even submerged into ice on the TEDxAmsterdam stage in 2010. He was a medical mystery, but not anymore. His body and technique became a subject for scientific research. In this talk he shares what he tought science, that his technique can help others attain results that were former mysteries and what the implications are.
By the time Wim reached his teenage years, he was already running barefoot through the snow, comfortably.. It was the beginning of a large series of confrontations with the cold, where every single time, limits were tested, stunning the outside world. Wim Hof (born 1959) is able to perform exceptionally, almost unnatural, on what he is focused on. Due to our lifestyle today we are far removed from our natural bodily condition. We breathe much more shallow which means that our body is not optimally supplied with oxygen.. According to Wim, it’s not complicated at all: "What I am capable of, everybody can learn".
He accomplished 21 Guinness World Records with the most exceptional and unique performances.
Scientists around the world baffled by this exceptional performance. In the Netherlands, Prof. Maria Hopman of the UMC St Radboud Nijmegen examined Wim’s physiology as he was affected by the cold, while he was up to his neck in a cylinder filled with ice cubes.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
I like the saying "A patient cured is a customer lost"
I am 71 and tried cold baths, his controlled breathing, walking in snow in freezing temperature and his exercises with controlled breathing. It feel wonderful! I will keep doing this! Thank you Wim Hof!❤
Hi, how are you holding up?
I’m with you, Christine. 63 yo & after just one month of breathing & 5 minutes of cold showers, my health has drastically improved. It feels as though I’m reversing time. What a gift the WHM is to the world, especially for older folks. There’s nothing like having a sharp mind & a frail body. Tell your family & friends! ☮️&❤️ to all.
❤
What I like about Wim is he never appears to be selling you anything. Air is free!!
so is ice
Cool
free for now...😂😅🙈keep breathing!
@@purevibration.4878 hahaa
Bill Gates has entered the chat
He really should win a Nobel Prize
Give me a break! Yogic breathing and cold therapy-training has been around for a long time. This guy acts like he invented it.
True. He is spreading the knowledge and showing people possibility though. That's gotta be worth something. But ultimately, the nobel prize means nothing, it is however worth more recognition and explorations of these ideas.
The photo electric effect had been around before Einstein as well. He didn’t invent it, he quantified it. This is what Win has done as well. If win’s practice were to be implemented in all schools, diseases would go down per generation.
@2ndrwkng Laugh what you like, the man has influence over his autonomous nervous system. with the simple techniques and his own method. All the medical books about medicine should be rewritten. I know that certain yogic masters are possible to do that, but for the first time anyone can do it.
@@robertsabella if it's been around so long how Come no one in modernity has been able to do what he's done?? Why does he have so many Guinness world records? Why is he the one we are hearing it from? Why's he the one demonstrating it's effectiveness, allowing himself to be tested? If it's so obvious and so ancient, why aren't millions of people doing these things? Why isn't climbing everest wearing nothing but shorts and shoes common place? My friend, knowledge is of small benefit, applied knowledge however can change the world. People may have known these techniques, but wim managed to take them to the limits, and prove that they work (as much as anything can be proved). Many people credited with scientific discoveries were standing on the shoulders of giants. Someone needs to get the credit for bringing it to the world.
This man is a gem to the world
He is The Gem indeed.
Wim hof changed my life i was drying and couldnt move out of bed server anixty pain i started breathing and 3rd day pain went away and i stoped taking medicne im on day 28 and im driving and in control of myself
Congratulations and lots of love.
Mike Semich rock on Brother!
well done, keep at it
I'm a week in rn had a little anxiety attack one time but I havnt had another so we will see how it goes!
inner peace !
He is a one person army that overthrew the hundred year old medical theory. The most respectful of Wim is his enthusiasm to teach the whole world his method to make us happy strong and healthy. The world has been ignoring him as a freakish stunt man. Watch a video interview of him in the 90s. No one at that time realised he had discovered the secret of the human mind. He should be awarded a Nobel prize.
This guy is a Living Legend!
I love how unpretentious he is.!!! Very genuine
Dengee right on
@2ndrwkng It doesn't matter, he could let everything get to his head.
*Wim Hof is the real deal! Just two days of his simple breathing exercise (alone) will greatly increase focus, energy and mood. Two months worth will change your life.* I love this dude!
Troll
Try it. "WHM" as a free app.
Me too. ♥️
@@frikkelisjes not.. really?
For me it was one time.
I had a heart condition.Ifelt like im dying.
Just one breathing exercise and it was gone and i felt awesome again!!
I went through a really rough episode in my life that had me on constant anxiety and fighter flight response. after months of trying to find the cure for it.. meditations, exercise, books, yoga, medication and one day I hear about this method.. In my desperation I went and bought something resembling a tub, did the breathing and jumped into ice water.. by the end of the 3 mins I was about 60 percent better, I became addicted to it because I had found nothing like it.. I did it everyday for a week, extending the timing in cold exposure and I was at 100% in one week. I truly believe in this method because it saved me in the course of days. When I went to my therapist and I told her, she said it had to be the medication which Ive had been taking for 2 months with no effect prior me getting into the ice water. So I understand his frustration also when when people/"experts" dont take his research seriously because it is a threat to the pharma industry.
A cured patient mean a customer lost
I've just started cold showers with deep breathing, since the last five days. I cannot explain how great I feel. Every time I come out of a cold shower, I feel so refreshed, energised and the experience is exhilarating. I never thought this was possible for me. Boy have I surprised myself!! Thank you WimHoff. ❤️
Me too! Started just 3 days ago and I feel so ready to tackle anything after the shower. I almost look forward to it!
@@MoxEEm have you kept up with it given up?
Do you still do it?
@@daveagard1884 Still going, but it'll happen more often that if I miss a morning cold shower, I probably won't take a cold shower at night as I don't feel the need (of want to) wake up right before bed.
Same here ❤
Isn't it about time Wim was invited to do a TED Global talk. In terms of "Ideas worth spreading" I can't think of many better than this.
I've been practising the Wim Hof method for 3 weeks. It is the real deal. I'm seeing notable improvement in mood and energy.
+James Alliban Did you buy his course or just watched some videos of him? I really want to get into it too! He is such an amazing human being.
Although it all looks entirely legit I decided to try before purchasing the course. You can find tutorials online and there is a free mini-course on his site. I bought the course after 5 days practice as I was so impressed. If you choose this route just start small - 1 minute cold shower after hot - I jumped right into 5 minute cold showers which were pretty rough. Alternatively there is a 14 day money back guarantee in case you're not satisfied.
Here's as explanation of the method:

I'd definitely recommend the video course as there is so much more info.
James Alliban
Thank you very much for your answer! I am allready satisfied with Wim Hof and his ideas/ his method. I will buy his course when I can afford it(because I am sure he deserves it), but in the meanwhile I want to get started and practise it. Since a few months I am sick more often and I am freezing pretty easily so I want to fight these with his method.
To keep it short:
1. breathing exercise
2. warm shower
3 1-x min cold shower while practicing breathing technique
4. end of shower/finnish
Did I get it right?
No problem. Start with a 1 minute cold shower at the end of your hot shower. You can then intensify the cold exposure each week, eventually dropping the warm part. Don't do the same breathing exercise from step 1 in the shower. Breathe deeply and naturally but without long holds.
James Alliban
always a pleasure to write with friendly people online! With the No. 1 I just wanted to refer to the daily habit of the breathing exercise. A full shower with cold water in the wintertime must be :0 !! capiche! Always stay relaxed while breathing. ;) I think it's a little bit sad that his course is so expensive that not everybody has access to it.
He is awesome. I have been having cold showers now for months and I can tell my skin has improved, it is now softer and my eczema has practically disappeared. I agree he deserves recognition for his knowledge, enthusiasm and altruism in helping others. He is a legend.
4 years old but people are jus now noticing.
The evolution of consciousness is here.
I LOVE THIS COMMENT.
I was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis in 2013 told id be in a wheelchair in 6months. It hit me hard n my whole left side was numb for 8months because my brain believed i was/would going to be incapable of functioning. I refused to let this dis-ease destroy me so i started to meditate n then was taught this amazing mans breathing technique. Wim saved me from all of the suffering i see others diagnosed the same year deal with. Its now 2022 n I am a fully functional woman who gets affected when stressed. I am very slim n don't like being cold so haven't tried a cold shower yet but I am going to be brave for my health n wellbeing n start slowly but surely having part of my shower cold. I am not going to be a MS sufferer. Namaste Wim Hoff 🙏❤
Wim comes on the stage and applauds the audience. His sincerity and wish to help us all be healthier comes from the heart. He is genuinely compassionate, his conviction, experience and the scientific proof must convince even the biggest sceptic.
Love this guy! So wise, so many achievements, yet so humble.
There is nothing humble about him and he does a poor job at trying to hide it.
I appreciate his humble effort to show west l am from India our sages discover breathing g techniques 5000 years ago.All yog techniques are healing so many diseases.
I have never seen a person get more respect from the public he really is changing people's lives for the better
I absolutely love that man. What a sweet humble, loving human being. God bless you wim ❤️
This needs to be shown in all schools 💚✨
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! It is in my academy
4th day of the wim hof method and i cant put into words how good i feel!!! This is the real deal ladies and gentlemen. Wim Hof is for real!!!!! -3 this morning and i took a cold shower and i could have stayed in there all day long. the calmness i felt coming out was unfuckingbelievable. 4 days!!!!!! support this guy if you decide to change your life.
Jay Mac can I ask with regards to the cold immersion stuff, do you go in the shower after you have performed the breathing technique?
Jay Mac How often do you do the breathing exercise per day?
Ben watson, you can go in the shower if you like. I think the experience is better when you go in the shower after the breathing exercise...
Pupper, do it as many times you can per day...once a day or twice a day it doesnt matter. Consistency is the key in life.
This kind of knowledge is priceless in times like these.
I have been doing his breathing for 2 weeks now. I FEEL AMAZING!!! DO THESE BREATHING EXERCISES. They will change your life. I suffer from anxiety and depression. It is being lifted by this breathing. LIFE CHANGING!!! THANK GOD FOR WIN HOF
Where I can find this exercise?
@@imranjaved3064 its simple just search up Wim Hof
@@imranjaved3064 on RUclips
He is so cool and confident. No self consciousness at all.
Thank You, Wim.
This is a great gift, to allow us to be fully human.
Hey Wim, Keep up the good fight! I have been doing your breathing and cold immersion for almost 2 months. Best thing I have ever done. No belief, no hocus-pocus, just do it! Improved focus, no more fear, much happier and in the zone every day. Go Wim Go!
David Beecroft seriously is that good ..ave never done it yet .Am wondering wen u say u have no more fear which is incredible av always suffered with anxiety and fear the of confrontations since a boy any advice would be appreciated so much thanks
Just do it. Start with cold showers. First, start with ur desired temperature. Then slightly lower it over and over untill finish. In a week, it won't even feel cold anymore. (:
U can do it
Thank you Wim, keep up the great fight. People are always stubborn to hold onto their beliefs even when it's not good for them, but that will shift eventually. Just relentlessly persist man.
What is likely, is he's going to WIM the Nobel prize
*Atleast you tried* 😑
I love this man! ❤️ 🙏🏻
He is the REAL future for humanity
WHY does the media NOT show wim hof, he has the BEST medical advice that works for everyone 99 percent of the time.
Common because big enterprises don't want their business to be ruined by a Dutch Hippie.
@@MichaTheLight exacto no les conviene
Because there is a dark agenda deeply imbedded in the world, look at how you were educated, look at the aims of commercial advertising, the western medical paradigm, politics, religion…they all have one thing in common. There is a clear agenda to diminish our innate connection to nature, to our nature. These increasingly global systems promise comfort and convenience. We have been severed from our natural birthright and now can be manipulated in and out of existence….Unless we say ‘NO!’
A really great and inspiring talk. Challenging our body while believing in it's capabilities is a real cornerstone of health and healing and Wim Hof has proved it. Really, it's worth trying...
His contributions are absolutely and profoundly pivotal! He deserves recognition and the highest honor for his leading-edge thinking and his bravery to personally pursue and prove his beliefs -his knowing. Awarding him a Nobel Prize would be a good start! As soon as enough people in power get brave enough to let go of their own fear and ego, he will receive at least one.
I agree. He should be given Nobel prize. Moat deserving person.
It would depend on the influences on the decision makers. The pharma industry would not want to "buy" into this life changing Potential.
Big pharma wouldnt be having it. Just like Doctor sebi
P
,?
first time I've seen him wearing clothes:)
😀
He should take that jacket off
that jacket is afraid of him 🤣
Every one should pr active the Wim Hof breathing exercise, even 70 tears Young people like me can feel the happyness en strength of IT. No I am able to taken a cold shower for 3 minutes every morning. And feeling good.
You can tell he dosen't care about high style. I like that.
What a wonderful and impactful human being! Thank you WIM for all you are contributing to the world
Love this guy!!! Thanks, Wim!!!! :)
I’m a newcomer on this, 2020 but I’m not an unfamiliar one to well being searching and auto healing at all.
All this is growing up, coming to us, catching our attention year over year!
Let’s keep up with the big guy and all the others powerful humans!!!!!!!! 💪💪
Love this guy, you feel amazing using his method part of my daily routine ~ thankyou Wim
You are a very inspirational man with a healing mission.
You (Think) you are connected and you are. You're connected to a way of life you didn't choose and a lifestyle not of your choosing but one that was pushed upon you by greed, hate, pain & suffering, war and poverty and that's all you know to be. Disconnect from Society for a while and follow this man's teaching to Truly Connect with the True self.
Many of his techniques are discovered by tibetian buddhist monks and are practiced for centuries.But because of Wim Hof those techniques are coming out and being helpful for normal people.
Yes but he also modified them in his own way. He also gives credit to that fact. Saying he is not first one doing what he is doing.
God bless Wim Hoff for his dedication to helping man kind.
I love this guy! I’m so grateful for having found him...🙏🥰
Love this guy! Great food for thought
Jimmy Naraine better to experience it.
Amazing person and yes his method work . Thank you Wim Hof 🙏
Thank you for changing my life Wim
I admire him so much.
This Man it's Amazing He really care about Humanity I LOVE this. AWESOME PERSON
I’m extremely happy I found this video!!! He’s talking about a type of science that I have taught myself and previously considered myself crazy for. I can influence any relaxed nervous system to directly change the psychology, relocate joints, speed/slow, blood flow, and affect hormones as well as other things. I was only 16 when my awareness of the nervous system became subconscious, causing my joints to relocate without needing help from my conscious thoughts. I have spent the last two years mastering these abilities while trying to be a functional member of society, and now I have reached a point where my body is almost perfectly symmetrical and the energy from my body exudes; influencing objects. I feared my ability because when people are around me in relaxed states they become I can significantly alter their bone and mental structure into a genetically better state but it can throw off their equilibrium or cause sudden emotional or physical pain; which can come with abrupt alignment. Now I have better mastery over my abilities and I can control how much I affect peoples homeostasis,so now I don’t fear my abilities more than reasonable. I believe my abilities are just natural evolution and that evolution can be sped up during life through conscious and subconscious effort. Many of you have these abilities too but your mentality, morals,motives, imagination, and/or psychology blocks your abilities from fully manifesting or even partially manifesting. Now most of these things can be ignored if you have innate talent, but if you have innate talent you will not want to ignore these and you will need to focus on these in order to make your abilities stronger. I am lenient with the knowledge I give because people who lack balance but have strength can use it to inflate their ego and destroy others, so I’m choosing to show my mastery of the craft slowly but surely. I know and truly believe mastery of self will be obtained by everyone who truly wants it, and it will lead to the healthiest collective consciousness. Evolution is forever or never. Who wants to evolve with me?
I m in 🤟
how is humanity going to get into a better state of consciousness with the so called powers how is it helping humans to become kind and compassionate
I want in

@@abhisektamang454 one of my forms of of reiki activates the frontal lobe. Emotions are easier to identify and activate as well as rationalize. It will help compassion because it will show that everyone can be healed if they open up their mind and hearts. The reason I started my journey was because I wanted more emotions, and memories.
He has the energy of a twenty year old; the way he moves is energetic and full of vitality
he is so light
the comments on wim hoff videos are always as positive and awesome as the video itself
May God Bless & Keep Wim! He is my Brother. Everyone’s friend!
Thanks Wim! You are such a dear friend. Blessed to know the WHM!

I did my first breath work around 5 months ago....have Not missed one day on average doing over 7 sessions a day....first time holding for 1 minute felt like forever...Now 4 minutes just seems a part of a moment in timeless eternity....All the things he talked about are Real....Breathworks takes mediation to a new level ...Gets you to that door of Enlightment/JOY /Highest Frequency^
His English isn't perfect but he communicates incredible knowledge and gives so much to this planet.
bravo!
Mind blown! 💚💜
Thanks very much Wim you are amazing
Thanku Wim - been doing cold swims + showers for over 3 years now - WISH more people wud do this
He got me thinking about something. He says "we have these old ways of thinking" but I feel it to be more accurate to say new ways of thinking... that are outdated! Because it's the old ways that have been forgotten and what we have to go back to, the wisdom of the ancient people. back to the meaning of life.
If the old ways have been forgotten then how do you know they existed in the first place?
They have been forgotten by "modern man" (the majority)... there are few now that still follow the old ways.
ecstatica23 And who are the few and where do they live for example?
Tribal cultures that have managed to escape extinction by the hands of this Western culture that live in peace and harmony with each other and the land. One example can be the Pachamama tribe I think that's the name. I'm not sure where they live but you can look that up. South America somewhere I believe.
Thanks for your reply. Pachamama is a goddess revered by the indigenous people of the Andes. The people who revered her practiced warfare. I think perhaps you have fallen for the Noble Savage myth thus your belief that the "old ways" have been forgotten. Cheers.
One of my favorite human beings 🙏🏼
I feel so good after two weeks and am focused on revering my hypothyroidism. In a month I will get it checked and you'll hear about any change with it.
How did it go?
Updates?

Wish you all the best .. updates plz thanks
This man is giving away years of his life in the 10 week program, follow his instructions and you'll learn way more in term of meditation and concentration than you would alone in 10 years.
Been doing his breathing exercises for only a few days and mood and energy is better
Thank u for helping us all wim
wow, he is awesome. I want to try
Yes we all want to be strong, healthy and happy. And its a good experience to learn the breathing method and taking a cold shower in the morning ( or even better go to the sea in Denmark to the sea and most of the year it will be a cold bath) and you will immediately feel a Rushdie of energy and joy even if you are not as extreme in your practice as Wim Hof
Bryan Cranston has to do the Wim Hoff movie
Great idea.
From the creators of Breaking Bad comes...
Catching Cold
Yes!!
That is an exceptional example of a real influencer! Someone selling a lipstick or promoting traditional “inside the box” thinking is only a kind of a marketing tool with an old mindset...not an influencer!
this guy good vibes ( bravo ) 😇😎😇
I think this has been known in many parts in the east for thousands of years.. that you can transform yourself internally with the power of your mind. The only difference is that now, the west is embracing it as well.
No other like Wim. More real than any, "Guru" I see out there!!
Just got out of my first cold 🥶 water bath 🛀 soak. I binged on the RUclips video first, and those of others who also have been living this lifestyle. I ran a cold water bath while watching an ice bath video, then walked into the bath 🛁 like a boss while having a video in the background, I sat down for a minute, just adjusting to the temperature, then I stood up, soaped up my body, then laid full on in the water for 5 straight minutes breathing steadily. I was able to then cleanse off slowly and stepped out at the 7 minutes mark. I’m gonna try another bath in another 13 hours at 3am 😀
respect
What you have shored with the world is amazing!! I am 57 with Hashimotos - autoimmune disease.. would Wim be advisable for me?
I love you, dear Wim Hof 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ u are a gift on nova days 🌈❤️🙌🙌🙌
great awakening is coming...real deal!!!
November 21th
He’s incredible!!!
I feel like a superhuman after I get out of the cold shower and I love the WHM App.
Amazing. Will most of us continue to do little about it?
All the love, Wim. All the love.
3 years strait cold showers and i know he is right on. only been sick few times for reasons i could not explain. I had to re write this since i do get sick often, just most of the time i know its food related, or an alergic reaction to soaps or chemicals. I have so much inflamation sometimes its crazy.. cold showers help me live a normal life. It is trully amazing..
I will put a stamp on that.
It's three years for me as well and I'm sick as often as before. About twice a year.
@@MrCmon113 is your water really cold?
@@realhlth5672
I don't really have a comparison. I live in Germany, but I guess how cold it gets depends on the water supply of the city.
@@MrCmon113 i take skin temps with a temperature scaner. My body gets about 72 degrees so i bet mine come out at high 60's. My exp with city water is that all the piping and routing sometimes can help loose the deep cool from underground or basement house set ups. I wont moove unless i find a place with a good shower.
thanks wim!
Someone mentioned they saw a whim half on a Joe Rogan podcast I was fortunate enough to accidentally come across that same podcast and I thought exactly why everyone else is saying this is amazing stuff not too technical straightforward to the point, thank you win .
Skater’s Life fam you cannot type
the brain doesnt diferenciate btwn reality and imagination, that´s why it´s so powerful visualitation.
Andrés BF that's an interesting point to think about
His method doesn't even involve imagination, it simply uses one autonomous body reaction to cancel out another.
