Wim Hof Interview (Full Episode) | The Tim Ferriss Show (Podcast)

[@LaszloMag]

I listen to the majority of Tim's podcasts and I almost didn't finish listening through this one and it might have ended up being the biggest mistake of my life. I was thinking to myself "This dude seems a bit arrogant". Looking back at it I probably stumbled across that episode on a bad day, projecting my shortcomings on Wim. However, after a month or so with this episode sitting in my podcast player's playlist i finally got through it, and immediately gave it another listen in one sitting, which fully woke my curiosity about Wim's teachings, and since that day my life has taken a completely new trajectory. Thank you Tim, Wim and all your other guests for everything you bring to this world.

[@andypagakis]

Still feeling like a changed man? I am interested in his teachings now too

[@davidl3207]

Try them. So far so good for me

GLAD U SAW YOUR OWN STUPIDITY!!! LOL THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ....AT FIRST I WAS LIKE .."WHO IS THIS ICEHOLE" LOL but I was the stupid one! I love wim and been doing his breathing for a while!! amazing!:)

[@wiolantsungazer7665]

I think it is because of our life long programming that the cold will make us sick and only sick, that there is nothing healthy about sitting in water that is almost freezing over, I've noticed that the colder the water the better the relaxation afterwards. So glad we are doing this on a global scale to become healthy strong and happy. Breathing exercises should be taught from first graders to the end graduation. That is how we were once living in full purpose alive and vibrant, for thousands of years expanding, growing and evolving ❤

My dentist recommended Wim Hof. His method reduced my pain almost immediately.

I have been doing WHF for the past 2 months, and I started intermittent fasting a month ago, and I am loving the results. Thank you TIm and Wim. Heroes!

Wim's laugh alone was worth the listen. He always makes me smile.

[@calebcrouch6133]

Relistening for the first time since the episode was released. Just started the method again. What a game changer. Why did I ever stop?! Want to be able to handle your stressors and keep a positive mental attitude? Breathing method and cold showers. Just do it.

[@audreysegura8933]

I love Wim ! Got his app, been doing the breathing, cold shower and other exercises in the app for a 2 weeks now, great great way to start the day !

[@larryholliday8412]

Thanks for this video. I've been doing the WHM for 6 years. It's works like magic. Tim, you ask questions that no other interviewers have asked. Great job.

[@vincevengeance9755]

of all the reviews i've seen so far about wim hof, this one is the one i respect the most, as the host never interrupted wim when he is explaining, although most of the time wim as further into the question asked. this is a very good interview to listen to. and the host has so many patient to listen to wim explaining everything. thank you.

[@marktiernan8537]

Brilliant. Thank you. Just started WHM 2 days ago. Loving it. It was great the way you let Wim just speak uninterrrupted!

[@j.c5078]

Wim is one of the most badass people on the planet. Tim is an incredible conversationalist as usual. Great takeaways and realizations here. Much love from Israel.

NOW I can understand Tim's obsession with the cold stuff. Wim is awesome, the neurology seems legit for switching to parasympathetic side and thus enjoy life more with all the benefits. Personally I've been a shallow breather excluding childhood fascination for holding my breath and now having so much fun experimenting with this long lost hobby with some feelings of increasing vitality! Thanks Tim for having Wim over. It was a great interview as always!

[@vincevengeance9755]

also 1 thing that wim hof is very powerful with his immune system is because of his 1 day a meal per day. this habit of eating is also another thing he should explain to others. this eating habit help a lot when it comes to immune system. you halt your engine for a while, analyse what's the problem, make the maintenance, and start again. plus his powerful breathing method, i think many micro bac virus have no chance at all.

[@eatmoveandbehealthy5068]

Well, it's winter... I will look deeper into this stuff. Amazing.

[@hthorne4364]

You should! I started doing it yesterday. I was under the water for 30 sec in Copenhagen, Denmark outside in the harbour today. It works. Water did not feel cold. I felt warm when I got out of the water.

[@RicoKaboomTube]

I think Wim Hof method is very effective, I'm practicing and it is energizing me a lot. I have a question, how many hours sleep Wim Hof or how many hours are suggested using the Wim Hof breathing?

[@WalterDeRooij]

As many as you need to feel rested and energized. For Wim this is 6 hours if I remember correctly. It's in one of the facebook videos on his page if you want to know exactly.

[@jeanniebeneanie3752]

Great interview... great questions.

[@raypers]

I love how Ferris always reverts to the material. "What books do you gift people?". He doesn't seem to realize this man is beyond the material and values his body and it's interaction with nature over "stuff". I guess living in San Francisco will do that to someone.

[@primingdotdev]

[@jennifergibbs7481]

I'm a new subscriber and I love your vids so so much. I've been interested in the Wim Hof method but I have never found a clear explanation of how to do the exercises ??? I know you breathe in 30 times and hold it but do you have to do this while your in the shower as well in order to not feel the cold? Or do you do it before? Do you think about being warm while your in the shower and just meditate on the idea of heat? Im very confused but I really want to try this!

[@antoniodias1925]

Jennifer Gibbs buy the book "what doesn't kill us" (Scott Carney). It explains most of the method. Do not do it while in the shower, you can faint and injury yourself!

[@houseconcerts]

Mandela wasn't all he was cracked up to be by the MSM : " Everyone thought Mandela was a known entity, but he turns out to have led a double life, at least for a time. By day, he was or pretended to be a moderate democrat, fighting to free his people in the name of values all humans held sacred. But by night he donned the cloak and dagger and became a leader of a fanatical sect known for its attachment to the totalitarian Soviet ideal. When Ellis first aired this theory, it read like a Cold War thriller, but when Mandela died last month, the African National Congress and the SACP both issued statements confirming that it was true: at the time of his arrest in 1962, Nelson Mandela was a member of the SACP’s innermost central committee." www.spectator.co.uk/2014/01/the-mandela-files/

[@steveoisemo]

serious question, can performing the Wim Hof method correctly, lead to long term brain damage due to the breath holding? Does a casual non-competitive person run the risk of having long term brain damage from performing this method a few times a day over the course of 20 years or so

[@steveaustin3524]

how in the fuck would increasing the oxygen in your blood cause brain damage???

[@ThatOneGuy1024]

I love the wim hof method, and have been using it for about 3 months now, but as an avid pursuer of truth, listening to Wim talk about decalcifying the Pineal gland, and how the Pineal gland controlled everything else really bothered me. Thats not what the Pineal gland is for, and it bothers me to hear one of my inspirations so taken in and convinced by this ridiculous pseudoscience. With how many real world effects he has proven his program to have, I dont know why he has to walk this line of woo-woo hippy shit.

[@nateprice999]

That OneGuy do we fully understand the pineal gland? It creates melatonin and it’s believed that it releases DMT during the dream state. I don’t think we fully understand it’s functioning fully yet. More scientific studies need to be done, however I don’t think we should discredit Wim for his claim. People have been able to produce psychedelic trips through his breathing methods.

[@vichenec]

Wim has gone deeper than anyone we know, pseudo science or not you got to take his word. He broke scientific claims on many occasions, perhaps there is truth to what he is saying.

[@takethisl4096]

Pineal gland excretes hormones. Clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about wim is correct

[@trishs9277]

He's so cool, so smart... every once in a while he sounds sexist and it's annoying (Wim! you're beyond that), otherwise, wow! The breathing is already helping me out after just a few days. cool
