I once had an anxiety attack early in the morning. It was a very unpleasant feeling. You wake up to a rapidly beating heart and your mind is just full of anxiety and fear and dread. It felt like my mind was trying to split apart. I got up ran to the shower and hit the cold water... instantly helped. This stuff really does help. Keep on rockin everyone.

The cold showers are going decent. I just take my warm shower and wash myself. Then set a timer for 3 minutes in which I gradually go colder. And then when the timer hits 0 I go all the way cold and time it. Started the first 2 or 3 days with 15 seconds. And today was 30. Liking it alot! Gets easier already.

A cold shower raises adrenaline yet lowers cortisol? Cortisol is only released in direct response to elevated adrenaline (epinephrine and norepinephrine). Mechanistically, a cold shower (or cold plunge) in the morning makes most sense because that is when adrenaline and cortisol levels normally peak in a healthy circadian pattern. Adrenaline and cortisol should be at their lowest levels at night for proper sleep.

What will happen if I expose my body to cold temperature for the rest of the day, like wearing short in cold weather, even if I take cold shower everyday?

Thanks for another great lesson Wim! The initial effect of cold water is to cause blood vessels to constrict, resulting in a slow-down of blood-flow, thus, a depression of the vital processes. However, soon after the application of cold, the body reacts by strongly dilating the blood vessels, which powerfully increases blood-flow to, and stimulation of, bodily tissues.

Hello Wim Hof, my name is Reda, your follower from Morocco 🇲🇦. I've been watching you since 2023, but before I watched you about taking cold showers. I was about 14 or 15 years old when I started showering with cold water, but not with ice because it is difficult. But when I started showering, I did not shower in all seasons, but only at the beginning of the summer, when I started watching your videos and following your instructions, I decided to shower with cold water in all seasons, and now I am currently 18 years old in 2024, but Allah willing, I will continue until I shower with water. Cold with snow, I forgot to mention that in Islam.

Dear Jim thanks for introducing or inventing such a power method for healing, hats off to you. I need to ask how can we avoid getting cold symptoms, when start taking cold shower as most of us can catch cold. Kindly put some light on this matter. Thanking in anticipation.

Low temperature in a shower doesn't cause colds.

Took my first cold shower today. It was weird… let me give a little context: Earlier I saw a few videos on how not be an NPC. And they all roughly said the same thing, “be in control of yourself.” And the major way I saw them explain how to break out of being an NPC, is to start talking to yourself in your head. So one thing led to another and I came across this man’s breathing technique and ice plunges. Then I came across cold showers. Anyways, back to my experience. It took me a couple of minutes to break the first wall of actually getting in the tub because I was getting splashed on with cold water. But, after a couple of minutes, I started talking smack to myself. Things like “come on bro.. you’re not gunna die.. stop being a wuss..” Then I just walked in. I started to feel my body and jaw start to tense up. I tried the breathing, but it seemed to make it worse. So started talking to myself in my head again.. “you’re being a baby.. you got a lot to prove to yourself…” Then, I literally felt my body ignore the cold and start to warm up. Almost like my skin went numb. I felt the water, but I couldn’t feel the cold. It was from one second to another. I could’ve stayed in the shower forever. But I stopped at 4 minutes. Anyways, I’ll continue to do these showers everyday. 👍🏾
