Wim Hof The Iceman on the Resilience and Strength Your Body is Truly Capable of
00:00[Music] hey everybody welcome to another episode hey everybody welcome to another episode of impact theory i am here with a return of impact theory i am here with a return of impact theory i am here with a return visit from the legendary iceman himself visit from the legendary iceman himself visit from the legendary iceman himself wim hof wim hof wim hof welcome to the show man welcome to the show man welcome to the show man thanks thanks for having me dude i am thanks thanks for having me dude i am thanks thanks for having me dude i am really excited to dive into a part two really excited to dive into a part two really excited to dive into a part two here um the first time that we met it here um the first time that we met it here um the first time that we met it was really extraordinary we went pretty was really extraordinary we went pretty was really extraordinary we went pretty hard on the things that you're typically hard on the things that you're typically hard on the things that you're typically known for but in the new book um the wim known for but in the new book um the wim known for but in the new book um the wim hof method you go into a lot of detail hof method you go into a lot of detail hof method you go into a lot of detail about something i wasn't expecting to about something i wasn't expecting to about something i wasn't expecting to see in your book which is your personal see in your book which is your personal see in your book which is your personal story story story how you were raised how you how you were raised how you how you were raised how you developed your free spirit and developed your free spirit and developed your free spirit and willingness to not fit in and sort of willingness to not fit in and sort of willingness to not fit in and sort of the power of the mind and so you've said the power of the mind and so you've said the power of the mind and so you've said that there are three pillars and i think that there are three pillars and i think that there are three pillars and i think this is really what i want to get into this is really what i want to get into this is really what i want to get into today so you've got today so you've got today so you've got cold exposure cold exposure cold exposure breathing and the power of the mind and breathing and the power of the mind and breathing and the power of the mind and so i want to start with so i want to start with so i want to start with you as a kid coming into the world with you as a kid coming into the world with you as a kid coming into the world with a difficult birth how did that begin to a difficult birth how did that begin to a difficult birth how did that begin to plant the seeds why did you open the
01:00plant the seeds why did you open the plant the seeds why did you open the book of that book of that book of that i think everybody in the world i think everybody in the world i think everybody in the world who suffered a trauma who suffered a trauma who suffered a trauma is is is deeply impacted deeply impacted deeply impacted is deeply impacted is deeply impacted and and and i was impacted from my birth because i i was impacted from my birth because i i was impacted from my birth because i was the second one was the second one was the second one and nobody expected in those days there and nobody expected in those days there and nobody expected in those days there were no echo scopia were no echo scopia were no echo scopia uh uh uh devices measurement devices measurement devices measurement things it was all on a things it was all on a things it was all on a on a horn a little a little on a horn a little a little on a horn a little a little wooden horn and so when you say you're wooden horn and so when you say you're wooden horn and so when you say you're the second one you mean you were an the second one you mean you were an the second one you mean you were an identical twin your brother was born identical twin your brother was born identical twin your brother was born they send your mom back to the the they send your mom back to the the they send your mom back to the the recovery room recovery room recovery room exactly and then they found out oh there exactly and then they found out oh there exactly and then they found out oh there is another one is another one is another one let's get him out through with cesaria let's get him out through with cesaria let's get him out through with cesaria because he has to deep in because he has to deep in because he has to deep in and we cannot get him out otherwise he's and we cannot get him out otherwise he's and we cannot get him out otherwise he's going to suffocate
02:00going to suffocate going to suffocate so they pushed me to the operation room so they pushed me to the operation room so they pushed me to the operation room and just before the operation room and and just before the operation room and and just before the operation room and my mother was my mother was my mother was uh she was aware they were going to do uh she was aware they were going to do uh she was aware they were going to do with cesarea she it's like fear with cesarea she it's like fear with cesarea she it's like fear and and she was a pious woman and and she was a pious woman and and she was a pious woman so so so her belief her belief her belief came to oh god let this child live i came to oh god let this child live i came to oh god let this child live i will make him a missionary and then she will make him a missionary and then she will make him a missionary and then she pushed me out pushed me out pushed me out in front of the rubber doors of the in front of the rubber doors of the in front of the rubber doors of the operation group and that's the way i operation group and that's the way i operation group and that's the way i came to the world purple came to the world purple came to the world purple because i always suffocated and in the because i always suffocated and in the because i always suffocated and in the cold of the whole cold of the whole cold of the whole that's it with that invocation that's it with that invocation that's it with that invocation with that invocation and that trauma with that invocation and that trauma with that invocation and that trauma together that imprints deeply into his together that imprints deeply into his together that imprints deeply into his psych even when it is a baby and has no psych even when it is a baby and has no psych even when it is a baby and has no reference reference reference inside of the brain it gets into that inside of the brain it gets into that inside of the brain it gets into that system and that make me always different
03:00system and that make me always different system and that make me always different than of my identical twin and then at than of my identical twin and then at than of my identical twin and then at the age of 17 the age of 17 the age of 17 i felt this attraction to go into cold i felt this attraction to go into cold i felt this attraction to go into cold water water water and then i i knew it when i went in for and then i i knew it when i went in for and then i i knew it when i went in for the first time freezing water i knew the first time freezing water i knew the first time freezing water i knew this is it this is it this is it not this is the thing you've been not this is the thing you've been not this is the thing you've been looking for looking for looking for yes connection with the deep imprint of yes connection with the deep imprint of yes connection with the deep imprint of my own personal trauma and now my own personal trauma and now my own personal trauma and now it shows the people going it shows the people going it shows the people going into this into this into this cold practice and into these breathing cold practice and into these breathing cold practice and into these breathing uh practices which comes from the cold uh practices which comes from the cold uh practices which comes from the cold because when you go into the cold because when you go into the cold because when you go into the cold you do you do you do you come alive you come alive in you come alive you come alive in you come alive you come alive in connection with your biochemistry and connection with your biochemistry and connection with your biochemistry and you begin to feel and understand sense you begin to feel and understand sense you begin to feel and understand sense that you are able to change the that you are able to change the that you are able to change the biochemistry biochemistry biochemistry by deep breathing and what we do in our
04:00by deep breathing and what we do in our by deep breathing and what we do in our society is shallow breathing society is shallow breathing society is shallow breathing we don't know the power of our own we don't know the power of our own we don't know the power of our own breath and therefore we don't know how breath and therefore we don't know how breath and therefore we don't know how to connect with our biochemistry when it to connect with our biochemistry when it to connect with our biochemistry when it goes wrong because of stress could be goes wrong because of stress could be goes wrong because of stress could be virus bacteria biological poison it virus bacteria biological poison it virus bacteria biological poison it could be a mental stress emotional could be a mental stress emotional could be a mental stress emotional whatever the stress is it has an impact whatever the stress is it has an impact whatever the stress is it has an impact on our biochemistry on our biochemistry on our biochemistry and through the deep breathing and and through the deep breathing and and through the deep breathing and manipulating the breath you are able to manipulating the breath you are able to manipulating the breath you are able to alter the biochemistry again how simple alter the biochemistry again how simple alter the biochemistry again how simple it all is and because nobody it all is and because nobody it all is and because nobody wanted to understand that this is wanted to understand that this is wanted to understand that this is happening and that oh it's just happening and that oh it's just happening and that oh it's just philosophy he's crazy what he is doing philosophy he's crazy what he is doing philosophy he's crazy what he is doing is crazy is crazy is crazy then i went to the university then i went to the university then i went to the university and they injected me with a with a
05:00and they injected me with a with a and they injected me with a with a bacteria bacteria bacteria and then i showed after 16 000 people and then i showed after 16 000 people and then i showed after 16 000 people who became sick with the same who became sick with the same who became sick with the same model of experimenting which is an e model of experimenting which is an e model of experimenting which is an e coli bacteria injection it's a coli bacteria injection it's a coli bacteria injection it's a controlled endotoxemia model to controlled endotoxemia model to controlled endotoxemia model to experiment to find out experiment to find out experiment to find out about the immune system are we able to about the immune system are we able to about the immune system are we able to tap into the immune system sixteen tap into the immune system sixteen tap into the immune system sixteen thousand hundred and thirty-four people thousand hundred and thirty-four people thousand hundred and thirty-four people all became sick all became sick all became sick and then i came in and i showed i did and then i came in and i showed i did and then i came in and i showed i did not became sick with the same injection not became sick with the same injection not became sick with the same injection of the e coli of the e coli of the e coli that that's a a very extraordinary that that's a a very extraordinary that that's a a very extraordinary journey and your book does an incredible journey and your book does an incredible journey and your book does an incredible job of putting some structure to how we job of putting some structure to how we job of putting some structure to how we tie tie tie this traumatic birth to then how we're this traumatic birth to then how we're this traumatic birth to then how we're able to shut down an endotoxin when it's able to shut down an endotoxin when it's able to shut down an endotoxin when it's injected in us and i want to try to injected in us and i want to try to injected in us and i want to try to recreate some of that here so i actually recreate some of that here so i actually recreate some of that here so i actually wrote down a quote if i can this is you wrote down a quote if i can this is you wrote down a quote if i can this is you um verbatim from an interview that you
06:00um verbatim from an interview that you um verbatim from an interview that you did did did and i thought that it was really really and i thought that it was really really and i thought that it was really really interesting and you said interesting and you said interesting and you said i'm i'm doing right now with top i'm i'm doing right now with top i'm i'm doing right now with top researchers on dna to show that we have researchers on dna to show that we have researchers on dna to show that we have the absolute influence neurologically at the absolute influence neurologically at the absolute influence neurologically at will to enter into our own ancestral will to enter into our own ancestral will to enter into our own ancestral encrypted codes of the dna our genetic encrypted codes of the dna our genetic encrypted codes of the dna our genetic past to enlighten our past right here in past to enlighten our past right here in past to enlighten our past right here in the moment the moment the moment now if if anybody else made that claim now if if anybody else made that claim now if if anybody else made that claim uh i would probably be pretty dismissive uh i would probably be pretty dismissive uh i would probably be pretty dismissive of of of its veracity but when you make it it its veracity but when you make it it its veracity but when you make it it really makes me want to stop and go okay really makes me want to stop and go okay really makes me want to stop and go okay what is it that leads you to say that what is it that leads you to say that what is it that leads you to say that and then how does that really manifest and then how does that really manifest and then how does that really manifest so i want to go back to the two things so i want to go back to the two things so i want to go back to the two things you said at the beginning that there was you said at the beginning that there was you said at the beginning that there was this traumatic birth and an invocation this traumatic birth and an invocation this traumatic birth and an invocation and tying that to this idea of the power and tying that to this idea of the power and tying that to this idea of the power of the mind and one last element which of the mind and one last element which of the mind and one last element which is you saying that modern society has is you saying that modern society has is you saying that modern society has disconnected us from our our natural disconnected us from our our natural disconnected us from our our natural environment what we're sort of from a environment what we're sort of from a environment what we're sort of from a evolutionary past what we're meant to do
07:00evolutionary past what we're meant to do evolutionary past what we're meant to do so help me understand how so help me understand how so help me understand how your traumatic birth your traumatic birth your traumatic birth leads you to become okay with being leads you to become okay with being leads you to become okay with being different than everybody so that you can different than everybody so that you can different than everybody so that you can discover this ability for us to discover this ability for us to discover this ability for us to reconnect reconnect reconnect yes exactly so yes exactly so yes exactly so it was my mother a very pious naive it was my mother a very pious naive it was my mother a very pious naive mother in those days you could not work mother in those days you could not work mother in those days you could not work anymore when you married anymore when you married anymore when you married you had to stop working you had to stop working you had to stop working so you could not go by law so you could not go by law so you could not go by law yes by law yes by law yes by law by law everybody the man has to provide by law everybody the man has to provide by law everybody the man has to provide that was in those days so she was at that was in those days so she was at that was in those days so she was at home she was home she was home she was intelligent intelligent intelligent but she had no career only having but she had no career only having but she had no career only having children children children but she was also pious but she was also pious but she was also pious a god-fearing person a god-fearing person a god-fearing person and and she said that at that moment that she said that at that moment that she said that at that moment that invocation that she was going to make invocation that she was going to make invocation that she was going to make you a missionary you a missionary you a missionary yes yes yes yes and i was not aware of that
08:00yes and i was not aware of that yes and i was not aware of that only i was different and i came to know only i was different and i came to know only i was different and i came to know by talking to my mother by talking to my mother by talking to my mother later very much later that she said that later very much later that she said that later very much later that she said that and and she told me uh the whole book and and she told me uh the whole book and and she told me uh the whole book and she knew it like it was yesterday and she knew it like it was yesterday and she knew it like it was yesterday so so uh she told me that 48 years later uh she told me that 48 years later uh she told me that 48 years later i am in new york i am in new york i am in new york i am doing a experiment i am doing a experiment i am doing a experiment in the feinstein biochemical institute in the feinstein biochemical institute in the feinstein biochemical institute and i am connected and i am connected and i am connected uh to take blood uh out of me while i'm uh to take blood uh out of me while i'm uh to take blood uh out of me while i'm doing what i'm doing a hard meter long doing what i'm doing a hard meter long doing what i'm doing a hard meter long meter it's all connected in a warm nice meter it's all connected in a warm nice meter it's all connected in a warm nice room and they asked me room and they asked me room and they asked me do what the iceman is doing do what the iceman is doing do what the iceman is doing i just did breathing techniques and i i just did breathing techniques and i i just did breathing techniques and i gave it all it gave it so much that they gave it all it gave it so much that they gave it all it gave it so much that they had to had to had to uh take away the lung liter because i uh take away the lung liter because i uh take away the lung liter because i stayed more than two minutes without stayed more than two minutes without
09:00stayed more than two minutes without breathing and then you get a flat line breathing and then you get a flat line breathing and then you get a flat line they thought it's defect they thought it's defect they thought it's defect and then they took it out they came in and then they took it out they came in and then they took it out they came in another one another one another one defect again and at the third machine defect again and at the third machine defect again and at the third machine i was on i was on i was on i was on and i didn't care anymore i i i was on and i didn't care anymore i i i was on and i didn't care anymore i i stayed there for one hour and a quarter stayed there for one hour and a quarter stayed there for one hour and a quarter in that room and they took all the blood in that room and they took all the blood in that room and they took all the blood and a week later and a week later and a week later they called me that was dr ken carmen they called me that was dr ken carmen they called me that was dr ken carmen and he said we have the blood results and he said we have the blood results and he said we have the blood results and and and it and it and it shows that if you are able to reproduce shows that if you are able to reproduce shows that if you are able to reproduce this in a group of people this in a group of people this in a group of people then that means huge consequences for then that means huge consequences for then that means huge consequences for human mankind and then he named all human mankind and then he named all human mankind and then he named all these diseases related to the results i these diseases related to the results i these diseases related to the results i had let out there in the feinstein had let out there in the feinstein had let out there in the feinstein institute a week ago in the blood institute a week ago in the blood institute a week ago in the blood showing that i was controlling the vagus
10:00showing that i was controlling the vagus showing that i was controlling the vagus nerve and the vagus nerve is considered nerve and the vagus nerve is considered nerve and the vagus nerve is considered to be in signs in medical science not to to be in signs in medical science not to to be in signs in medical science not to be controlled by humans it cannot but i be controlled by humans it cannot but i be controlled by humans it cannot but i showed big control in the vagus nerve showed big control in the vagus nerve showed big control in the vagus nerve and if you are able to control influence and if you are able to control influence and if you are able to control influence into the vagus nerve you are able to into the vagus nerve you are able to into the vagus nerve you are able to bring down inflammation and inflammation bring down inflammation and inflammation bring down inflammation and inflammation is the cause and effect of any disease is the cause and effect of any disease is the cause and effect of any disease now when you say that you could control now when you say that you could control now when you say that you could control the vagus nerve are you talking about the vagus nerve are you talking about the vagus nerve are you talking about they could measure an electrical they could measure an electrical they could measure an electrical stimulus that you were sending to it stimulus that you were sending to it stimulus that you were sending to it no no no they uh they uh they uh they took my blood and within the blood they took my blood and within the blood they took my blood and within the blood related to the vagus nerve there are 307 related to the vagus nerve there are 307 related to the vagus nerve there are 307 blood values blood values blood values and those blood values showed a complete and those blood values showed a complete and those blood values showed a complete difference difference difference than of a normal test person when dr ken than of a normal test person when dr ken than of a normal test person when dr ken carmilla had called me carmilla had called me carmilla had called me with the results saying with the results saying with the results saying if you are able to reproduce this that
11:00if you are able to reproduce this that if you are able to reproduce this that that means huge consequences for human that means huge consequences for human that means huge consequences for human mankind mankind mankind and then he named all these diseases and then he named all these diseases and then he named all these diseases half hour and then i mean at that moment half hour and then i mean at that moment half hour and then i mean at that moment in the telephone of course i can do that in the telephone of course i can do that in the telephone of course i can do that the missionary was born the missionary was born the missionary was born consciously to my to my brain to my consciously to my to my brain to my consciously to my to my brain to my consciousness my awareness it was there consciousness my awareness it was there consciousness my awareness it was there boom boom boom without saying half hour later i got a without saying half hour later i got a without saying half hour later i got a telephone that my mother had died you see how it all connects you see how it all connects and and this is just a personal story everybody this is just a personal story everybody this is just a personal story everybody has beautiful personal stories has beautiful personal stories has beautiful personal stories and magic happens only if you look for and magic happens only if you look for and magic happens only if you look for it and and it makes all sense if you it and and it makes all sense if you it and and it makes all sense if you look deeply within yourself and find out look deeply within yourself and find out look deeply within yourself and find out why you are here what for and that you why you are here what for and that you why you are here what for and that you have a great
12:00have a great have a great impact possible by standing up and do impact possible by standing up and do impact possible by standing up and do things out of the box and do it be things out of the box and do it be things out of the box and do it be audacious audacious audacious have no fear have no fear have no fear how much though do you think that that how much though do you think that that how much though do you think that that is they just don't know how to access is they just don't know how to access is they just don't know how to access that part of their brain you said in the that part of their brain you said in the that part of their brain you said in the book something that i i think addresses book something that i i think addresses book something that i i think addresses the opioid crisis more profoundly which the opioid crisis more profoundly which the opioid crisis more profoundly which is is you said everybody who looks towards the you said everybody who looks towards the you said everybody who looks towards the light is looking for purpose light is looking for purpose light is looking for purpose and when i think about the opioid crisis and when i think about the opioid crisis and when i think about the opioid crisis i think about that like people not i think about that like people not i think about that like people not knowing what they want in life people knowing what they want in life people knowing what they want in life people feeling completely disconnected from the feeling completely disconnected from the feeling completely disconnected from the world around them from their body world around them from their body world around them from their body um what do you think about um what do you think about um what do you think about yes into the darkness into the know yes into the darkness into the know yes into the darkness into the know knowledge into being desperately out knowledge into being desperately out knowledge into being desperately out there into letting it go they are there into letting it go they are there into letting it go they are completely lost in their lives completely lost in their lives completely lost in their lives that the purpose of life itself is in that the purpose of life itself is in that the purpose of life itself is in inside the brainstem inside the brainstem inside the brainstem the brainstem is about life the brainstem is about life the brainstem is about life about survival life and death
13:00about survival life and death about survival life and death so life is like light that is like shut so life is like light that is like shut so life is like light that is like shut down darkness over done down darkness over done down darkness over done the light and the light and the light and how by neurology what is neurology how by neurology what is neurology how by neurology what is neurology it's electricity it's potential neural it's electricity it's potential neural it's electricity it's potential neural transmitters transmitters transmitters and you are the alchemist you are able and you are the alchemist you are able and you are the alchemist you are able this is what we have shown as well this is what we have shown as well this is what we have shown as well how to produce neural a hundred how to produce neural a hundred how to produce neural a hundred new a percent percent neural activity in new a percent percent neural activity in new a percent percent neural activity in the brain and with that you make the the brain and with that you make the the brain and with that you make the right biochemistry inside the brain for right biochemistry inside the brain for right biochemistry inside the brain for the will which is neurotransmitters to the will which is neurotransmitters to the will which is neurotransmitters to connect with any part of the brain connect with any part of the brain connect with any part of the brain that's the way we are naturally built to that's the way we are naturally built to that's the way we are naturally built to do but because of our behavior we do but because of our behavior we do but because of our behavior we disconnected from the right uh disconnected from the right uh disconnected from the right uh biochemistry and we are limited we are biochemistry and we are limited we are biochemistry and we are limited we are narrow minded
14:00narrow minded narrow minded and and the expansion of the neurology inside the expansion of the neurology inside the expansion of the neurology inside the brain which should be the brain which should be the brain which should be until you die expanding until you die expanding until you die expanding like fresh like a tree it always goes on like fresh like a tree it always goes on like fresh like a tree it always goes on r r every spring new neurology neurology r r every spring new neurology neurology r r every spring new neurology neurology bigger bigger expansion expansion of bigger bigger expansion expansion of bigger bigger expansion expansion of consciousness consciousness consciousness and when you're ready you're ready man and when you're ready you're ready man and when you're ready you're ready man and then you have no fear you can go and then you have no fear you can go and then you have no fear you can go you can go you fly you can go you fly you can go you fly you know why you know why you know why and it is all in and it is all in and it is all in and that neurology now is the power of and that neurology now is the power of and that neurology now is the power of the mind which we are going to show but the mind which we are going to show but the mind which we are going to show but because nobody was listening because nobody was listening because nobody was listening and thinking that man is crazy that's and thinking that man is crazy that's and thinking that man is crazy that's why i work with the top researchers in why i work with the top researchers in why i work with the top researchers in the world because the natives hundreds the world because the natives hundreds the world because the natives hundreds of years ago they knew of years ago they knew of years ago they knew i bless your seven generations before i bless your seven generations before i bless your seven generations before and you're seven generations to come
15:00and you're seven generations to come and you're seven generations to come what kind of stupidity is that what kind of stupidity is that what kind of stupidity is that let's take over their land it's a no you let's take over their land it's a no you let's take over their land it's a no you are too primitive are too primitive are too primitive and now i tell you we go back to our and now i tell you we go back to our and now i tell you we go back to our nativeness we go back to respect and nativeness we go back to respect and nativeness we go back to respect and ancestry and we go back to purpose and ancestry and we go back to purpose and ancestry and we go back to purpose and now we can do this consciously before now we can do this consciously before now we can do this consciously before tell me tell me what the point is why tell me tell me what the point is why tell me tell me what the point is why why respect your ancestry to an eastern why respect your ancestry to an eastern why respect your ancestry to an eastern mind i think that makes immediate sense mind i think that makes immediate sense mind i think that makes immediate sense to a western mind i don't know that it to a western mind i don't know that it to a western mind i don't know that it does does does because because because your purpose if you get into the dna your purpose if you get into the dna your purpose if you get into the dna into the encrypted codes damaged by into the encrypted codes damaged by into the encrypted codes damaged by trauma trauma trauma of your ancestors who passed on in of your ancestors who passed on in of your ancestors who passed on in generations their trauma generations their trauma generations their trauma in their genetics in their genetics in their genetics then you feel relieved you feel then you feel relieved you feel then you feel relieved you feel enlightened enlightened enlightened so if we go for the best within so if we go for the best within so if we go for the best within ourselves
16:00ourselves ourselves for a freedom a fair state of being a for a freedom a fair state of being a for a freedom a fair state of being a very powerful being that is not being very powerful being that is not being very powerful being that is not being withhold without by anything if you like withhold without by anything if you like withhold without by anything if you like that that that then you have to go and deal with the then you have to go and deal with the then you have to go and deal with the encrypted codes in the dna and release encrypted codes in the dna and release encrypted codes in the dna and release it not in being profane and shallow but it not in being profane and shallow but it not in being profane and shallow but going into the depth and now we have uh going into the depth and now we have uh going into the depth and now we have uh now we know how to do it that's exactly now we know how to do it that's exactly now we know how to do it that's exactly what i was going to ask so i think when what i was going to ask so i think when what i was going to ask so i think when people hear you talk about getting back people hear you talk about getting back people hear you talk about getting back into your dna into your dna into your dna going at one point you'd mention going going at one point you'd mention going going at one point you'd mention going back 11 generations it sounds a little back 11 generations it sounds a little back 11 generations it sounds a little bit like past lives or somehow bit like past lives or somehow bit like past lives or somehow connecting to like a narrative or a connecting to like a narrative or a connecting to like a narrative or a story story but i'm curious if what you've been but i'm curious if what you've been but i'm curious if what you've been laying out in the wim hof method meaning laying out in the wim hof method meaning laying out in the wim hof method meaning that we're exposing ourselves to the that we're exposing ourselves to the that we're exposing ourselves to the cold we're learning how to breathe we're cold we're learning how to breathe we're cold we're learning how to breathe we're reconnecting with nature we're tapping reconnecting with nature we're tapping reconnecting with nature we're tapping into that lizard brain the brain stem into that lizard brain the brain stem into that lizard brain the brain stem the fight-or-flight mechanisms and
17:00the fight-or-flight mechanisms and the fight-or-flight mechanisms and beginning to develop conscious control beginning to develop conscious control beginning to develop conscious control is that what you mean that more holistic is that what you mean that more holistic is that what you mean that more holistic view of your own life of being exposed view of your own life of being exposed view of your own life of being exposed to the elements or is there something to the elements or is there something to the elements or is there something about like actually sort of going within about like actually sort of going within about like actually sort of going within yourself and meeting your grandfather yourself and meeting your grandfather yourself and meeting your grandfather your great grandmother so on and so your great grandmother so on and so your great grandmother so on and so forth forth forth yeah that one is very interesting the yeah that one is very interesting the yeah that one is very interesting the last part last part last part but now you come not only in the ability but now you come not only in the ability but now you come not only in the ability to enter into your dna to enter into your dna to enter into your dna and how to strengthen your cell and how to strengthen your cell and how to strengthen your cell how to influence the length of your life how to influence the length of your life how to influence the length of your life the quality of life because it all the quality of life because it all the quality of life because it all relates to the building blocks of life relates to the building blocks of life relates to the building blocks of life itself which is the dna and the genes itself which is the dna and the genes itself which is the dna and the genes and the cell structure and the cell structure and the cell structure by going into these exercises you will by going into these exercises you will by going into these exercises you will be able to grasp be able to grasp be able to grasp the purpose of your being the purpose of the purpose of your being the purpose of the purpose of your being the purpose of the power of your mind to enter into the the power of your mind to enter into the the power of your mind to enter into the deepest of the cell deepest of the cell deepest of the cell to to to protect the self from inflammation protect the self from inflammation protect the self from inflammation oxidative stress
18:00oxidative stress oxidative stress and to and to and to to see to see to see to to to see the repair the deep healing to see the repair the deep healing to see the repair the deep healing inside and feel great about it is that inside and feel great about it is that inside and feel great about it is that an intuitive connection though because an intuitive connection though because an intuitive connection though because when i i'm trying to reconcile when i i'm trying to reconcile when i i'm trying to reconcile when you talk about the things that you when you talk about the things that you when you talk about the things that you do and the method that you use and when do and the method that you use and when do and the method that you use and when somebody injects you with the toxin and somebody injects you with the toxin and somebody injects you with the toxin and how you're doing it um it isn't like a how you're doing it um it isn't like a how you're doing it um it isn't like a conscious thing at least that i've conscious thing at least that i've conscious thing at least that i've understood from you saying it's not like understood from you saying it's not like understood from you saying it's not like you say dear immune system create more you say dear immune system create more you say dear immune system create more white blood cells go and attack this white blood cells go and attack this white blood cells go and attack this maybe you do now because you understand maybe you do now because you understand maybe you do now because you understand the mechanisms but certainly when you the mechanisms but certainly when you the mechanisms but certainly when you were starting you didn't necessarily were starting you didn't necessarily were starting you didn't necessarily know what was going on of course know what was going on of course know what was going on of course so is when you say go inside the cell so is when you say go inside the cell so is when you say go inside the cell what do you mean what do you mean what do you mean what do i mean is going into the deepest what do i mean is going into the deepest what do i mean is going into the deepest and and feel no inhibition to solve anything feel no inhibition to solve anything feel no inhibition to solve anything that concerns my life my purpose my that concerns my life my purpose my that concerns my life my purpose my being being being by connecting to the lizard brain by connecting to the lizard brain by connecting to the lizard brain brainstem limbic system to go
19:00limbic system to go in in in here it is and to go here it is and to go here it is and to go now now now to the threshold to the threshold to the threshold of the power of our of the power of our of the power of our unlimited power of our own brain that's unlimited power of our own brain that's unlimited power of our own brain that's that's what i'm at and i'm only at the that's what i'm at and i'm only at the that's what i'm at and i'm only at the threshold i'm showing now that placebo threshold i'm showing now that placebo threshold i'm showing now that placebo does not exist anymore it is now does not exist anymore it is now does not exist anymore it is now conscious control conscious control conscious control and this is what the process is and this is what the process is and this is what the process is interesting interesting interesting yeah this is what the professors say wim yeah this is what the professors say wim yeah this is what the professors say wim hof has found hof has found hof has found uh the power the secret of placebo uh the power the secret of placebo uh the power the secret of placebo and that means the healing power within and that means the healing power within and that means the healing power within us us us is now able to be not only there because is now able to be not only there because is now able to be not only there because we believe it but also to be amplified we believe it but also to be amplified we believe it but also to be amplified if it's necessary can i say what i think if it's necessary can i say what i think if it's necessary can i say what i think you just said in different words and you you just said in different words and you you just said in different words and you tell me if i've got this correctly tell me if i've got this correctly tell me if i've got this correctly by exposing ourselves to cold by by exposing ourselves to cold by by exposing ourselves to cold by learning to breathe and by letting go as
20:00learning to breathe and by letting go as learning to breathe and by letting go as we're experiencing this pain letting go we're experiencing this pain letting go we're experiencing this pain letting go not fighting it so we can develop a not fighting it so we can develop a not fighting it so we can develop a connection to the brain stem essentially connection to the brain stem essentially connection to the brain stem essentially the unlimited power that we're the unlimited power that we're the unlimited power that we're experiencing of the mind is unlimited in experiencing of the mind is unlimited in experiencing of the mind is unlimited in terms of the body that you can take terms of the body that you can take terms of the body that you can take control through intention you talked control through intention you talked control through intention you talked earlier about the power of intention earlier about the power of intention earlier about the power of intention through intention through intention through intention but not like consciously saying go but not like consciously saying go but not like consciously saying go create 72 000 more white blood cells but create 72 000 more white blood cells but create 72 000 more white blood cells but just through that connection that you just through that connection that you just through that connection that you now have had by letting go and not now have had by letting go and not now have had by letting go and not resisting resisting resisting yeah the power of intention you don't yeah the power of intention you don't yeah the power of intention you don't need to know this all need to know this all need to know this all uh to get there you'd i i i never saw uh to get there you'd i i i never saw uh to get there you'd i i i never saw dna in the wild i didn't see a bacteria dna in the wild i didn't see a bacteria dna in the wild i didn't see a bacteria in the wild or a virus in the wild in the wild or a virus in the wild in the wild or a virus in the wild it's too wild for words but this is it's too wild for words but this is it's too wild for words but this is where we got where we got where we got with our extension tools our uh with our extension tools our uh with our extension tools our uh measurement devices microscopes and all measurement devices microscopes and all measurement devices microscopes and all those things we learned those things we learned those things we learned to to take that as the truth
21:00take that as the truth take that as the truth so i go through the truth so i go through the truth so i go through the truth through what we think is the truth through what we think is the truth through what we think is the truth because we left our simple uh belief in because we left our simple uh belief in because we left our simple uh belief in the power of our mind just to create the power of our mind just to create the power of our mind just to create happiness strength and health and happiness strength and health and happiness strength and health and guarantee it for our children no we had guarantee it for our children no we had guarantee it for our children no we had to take the land and more and more and to take the land and more and more and to take the land and more and more and produce and more and more and go to the produce and more and more and go to the produce and more and more and go to the moon man this world is beautiful moon man this world is beautiful moon man this world is beautiful make of this world a beautiful place make of this world a beautiful place make of this world a beautiful place instead of the pollution that is instead of the pollution that is instead of the pollution that is existent right now existent right now existent right now and exploitation and insensitivity we and exploitation and insensitivity we and exploitation and insensitivity we have to stop this that is craziness that have to stop this that is craziness that have to stop this that is craziness that craziness we gotta stop the world is craziness we gotta stop the world is craziness we gotta stop the world is sick the world needs to stop and to sick the world needs to stop and to sick the world needs to stop and to begin to see that we are simple begin to see that we are simple begin to see that we are simple beautiful beings with the power of beautiful beings with the power of beautiful beings with the power of intention and it's called love intention and it's called love intention and it's called love to guarantee love composed by happiness to guarantee love composed by happiness to guarantee love composed by happiness strength and health and a confident
22:00strength and health and a confident strength and health and a confident guarantee that we are able to stand for guarantee that we are able to stand for guarantee that we are able to stand for that and to give that to our children that and to give that to our children that and to give that to our children and all the beings around us we lost it and all the beings around us we lost it and all the beings around us we lost it we are into production insensitivity we are into production insensitivity we are into production insensitivity competition we lost the best within competition we lost the best within competition we lost the best within ourselves our simplicity now is ourselves our simplicity now is ourselves our simplicity now is complicated and there we are and that complicated and there we are and that complicated and there we are and that deregulates our systems we go to the deregulates our systems we go to the deregulates our systems we go to the moon we go to mars but we don't know how moon we go to mars but we don't know how moon we go to mars but we don't know how to stop autoimmune diseases cancer to stop autoimmune diseases cancer to stop autoimmune diseases cancer depression depression depression and name it and more and more anxiety and name it and more and more anxiety and name it and more and more anxiety anxiety fear for death fear what is the anxiety fear for death fear what is the anxiety fear for death fear what is the soul it's still unknown and i tell you soul it's still unknown and i tell you soul it's still unknown and i tell you it is the time for the soul it is the time for the soul it is the time for the soul through all these mechanistic through all these mechanistic through all these mechanistic devices that are able to measure up devices that are able to measure up devices that are able to measure up until the nanometer until the nanometer until the nanometer i mean to everything we will show that
23:00i mean to everything we will show that i mean to everything we will show that the purpose of life is right within us the purpose of life is right within us the purpose of life is right within us and we have a control over the mind and we have a control over the mind and we have a control over the mind possibly everybody at birthright by possibly everybody at birthright by possibly everybody at birthright by birthright to control our brain not birthright to control our brain not birthright to control our brain not sixteen percent at will but hundred and sixteen percent at will but hundred and sixteen percent at will but hundred and now we are showing this now we are showing this now we are showing this i want people to understand i think i want people to understand i think i want people to understand i think they're gonna get it immediately they're gonna get it immediately they're gonna get it immediately emotionally what you're saying like just emotionally what you're saying like just emotionally what you're saying like just listening to you is always intoxicating listening to you is always intoxicating listening to you is always intoxicating because you have so much energy and it's because you have so much energy and it's because you have so much energy and it's so infectious so infectious so infectious the book does an extraordinary job of the book does an extraordinary job of the book does an extraordinary job of helping people understand how to helping people understand how to helping people understand how to reconnect to nature and i want to talk reconnect to nature and i want to talk reconnect to nature and i want to talk about that there's a key part in the about that there's a key part in the about that there's a key part in the book that i i thought was really book that i i thought was really book that i i thought was really profound around that eight year period profound around that eight year period profound around that eight year period of your life where you were squatting of your life where you were squatting of your life where you were squatting you said you'd always felt like a black you said you'd always felt like a black you said you'd always felt like a black sheep in your family and that period sheep in your family and that period sheep in your family and that period gave you the willingness to step outside gave you the willingness to step outside gave you the willingness to step outside of the box right walk us through that of the box right walk us through that of the box right walk us through that what was that period why was it so what was that period why was it so what was that period why was it so meaningful to find true freedom meaningful to find true freedom meaningful to find true freedom yes yes i call it free thinking
24:00i call it free thinking i call it free thinking it was a free thinking block in the it was a free thinking block in the it was a free thinking block in the middle of amsterdam middle of amsterdam middle of amsterdam it was a place where 100 people it was a place where 100 people it was a place where 100 people lived together in two courtyards a lived together in two courtyards a lived together in two courtyards a former orphanage former orphanage former orphanage and i could play in the hallway and i could play in the hallway and i could play in the hallway guitar the lyrics out nobody was yelling guitar the lyrics out nobody was yelling guitar the lyrics out nobody was yelling oh you got to stop the music there's a oh you got to stop the music there's a oh you got to stop the music there's a shut up and oh no i was able to do shut up and oh no i was able to do shut up and oh no i was able to do yoga naked in the courtyard yoga naked in the courtyard yoga naked in the courtyard and i didn't give a [ __ ] about nobody i and i didn't give a [ __ ] about nobody i and i didn't give a [ __ ] about nobody i felt just great doing it and there i felt just great doing it and there i felt just great doing it and there i developed this sense to go to the park developed this sense to go to the park developed this sense to go to the park and go into the cold water and go into the cold water and go into the cold water and it made me able to sit outside in and it made me able to sit outside in and it made me able to sit outside in this snow at a certain moment very fast this snow at a certain moment very fast this snow at a certain moment very fast tapping into my own system awakening my tapping into my own system awakening my tapping into my own system awakening my deeper physiology to my mind i could sit deeper physiology to my mind i could sit deeper physiology to my mind i could sit all night long in my shorts outside in all night long in my shorts outside in all night long in my shorts outside in the snow
25:00the snow the snow things like that you could you could just let go you had not to follow what just let go you had not to follow what just let go you had not to follow what are you letting go of are you letting go of are you letting go of letting go of this restrictive way of letting go of this restrictive way of letting go of this restrictive way of thinking you gotta go get a job thinking you gotta go get a job thinking you gotta go get a job yeah yeah yeah career you gotta be in complete career you gotta be in complete career you gotta be in complete competition you have to become better competition you have to become better competition you have to become better you have to married and you have to get you have to married and you have to get you have to married and you have to get a house you have to be catholic you have a house you have to be catholic you have a house you have to be catholic you have to go to church you have to have to have to go to church you have to have to have to go to church you have to have to have to have to have to have you have to that to have to have to have you have to that to have to have to have you have to that have to was gone have to was gone have to was gone if you let a mind evolve naturally it if you let a mind evolve naturally it if you let a mind evolve naturally it comes to great powers and it is f as if comes to great powers and it is f as if comes to great powers and it is f as if we enter in this society into a spell we enter in this society into a spell we enter in this society into a spell into a spell of being limited into a spell of being limited into a spell of being limited in our in our in our power to experience our soul power to experience our soul power to experience our soul and what is that spell culture and what is that spell culture and what is that spell culture family pressures all of the above yes family pressures all of the above yes family pressures all of the above yes don't if you look at the world then you don't if you look at the world then you don't if you look at the world then you see where it got to

29:00they can re-center with nature they can re-center with nature and then now once they're re-centered and then now once they're re-centered and then now once they're re-centered around nature they'll be able to start around nature they'll be able to start around nature they'll be able to start building something up that power of building something up that power of building something up that power of intention intention intention in a way that makes more sense and yeah in a way that makes more sense and yeah in a way that makes more sense and yeah we talked about this briefly in our last we talked about this briefly in our last we talked about this briefly in our last interview and you you go into it in the interview and you you go into it in the interview and you you go into it in the book in a way that i'd never heard you book in a way that i'd never heard you book in a way that i'd never heard you talk about before with the suicide of talk about before with the suicide of talk about before with the suicide of your wife your wife your wife and you what i found very interesting and you what i found very interesting and you what i found very interesting was you said when you saw her after she was you said when you saw her after she was you said when you saw her after she had killed herself that you actually had killed herself that you actually had killed herself that you actually looked at her face and and thought for looked at her face and and thought for looked at her face and and thought for the first time that the shadow that had the first time that the shadow that had the first time that the shadow that had gripped her had gone away gripped her had gone away gripped her had gone away talk to me about that as as how you talk to me about that as as how you talk to me about that as as how you chose to see it because it would be very chose to see it because it would be very chose to see it because it would be very easy to only see the tragedy easy to only see the tragedy easy to only see the tragedy how how did you get yourself to a place how how did you get yourself to a place how how did you get yourself to a place where you could see something more where you could see something more where you could see something more yes yes when i heard she had when i heard she had when i heard she had jumped from eight stories down jumped from eight stories down jumped from eight stories down after kissing her uh after kissing her uh after kissing her uh babies goodbye babies goodbye babies goodbye then that that was a beautiful woman and
30:00then that that was a beautiful woman and then that that was a beautiful woman and you see a photo of her in the in the you see a photo of her in the in the you see a photo of her in the in the book she was a a a beautiful woman book she was a a a beautiful woman book she was a a a beautiful woman and she was alive always and then this and she was alive always and then this and she was alive always and then this shadow came it was as if the exorcist shadow came it was as if the exorcist shadow came it was as if the exorcist was there that the only way to get rid was there that the only way to get rid was there that the only way to get rid of this terror of this possessive being of this terror of this possessive being of this terror of this possessive being inside inside inside or was to jump down it was terrorizing or was to jump down it was terrorizing or was to jump down it was terrorizing her and that her and that her and that i could not do anything at that moment i could not do anything at that moment i could not do anything at that moment i could not i was brokenhearted i went i could not i was brokenhearted i went i could not i was brokenhearted i went there i cried with the father over the there i cried with the father over the there i cried with the father over the uh over her dead body uh over her dead body uh over her dead body when it was there in the in the morgue when it was there in the in the morgue when it was there in the in the morgue and and and i saw her face it was for the first and i saw her face it was for the first and i saw her face it was for the first time time time it was soft it was a liar it was soft it was a liar it was soft it was a liar again the woman i knew of before again the woman i knew of before again the woman i knew of before there was peace there was peace there was peace and the rest uh of course i was broken and the rest uh of course i was broken and the rest uh of course i was broken about it and i
31:00about it and i about it and i i had to deal with four children which i i had to deal with four children which i i had to deal with four children which i had with her my children made me survive had with her my children made me survive had with her my children made me survive the cold water it healed me because in the cold water it healed me because in the cold water it healed me because in the cold water you don't think the cold water you don't think the cold water you don't think you go into the brain stem you go into the brain stem you go into the brain stem you go into a non-thinking part of your you go into a non-thinking part of your you go into a non-thinking part of your own brain because you have to survive at own brain because you have to survive at own brain because you have to survive at that moment uh freezing water and it that moment uh freezing water and it that moment uh freezing water and it does it and that gives me the slack to does it and that gives me the slack to does it and that gives me the slack to uh for my system to go in and not into uh for my system to go in and not into uh for my system to go in and not into a crying and and nervous system a crying and and nervous system a crying and and nervous system of action and oh oh oh no then of action and oh oh oh no then of action and oh oh oh no then and then their body is able to heal it's and then their body is able to heal it's and then their body is able to heal it's able to go into parasympathetic mode in able to go into parasympathetic mode in able to go into parasympathetic mode in nature nature nature when zebras get attacked a couple of when zebras get attacked a couple of when zebras get attacked a couple of moments later they shake it off the fear moments later they shake it off the fear moments later they shake it off the fear but in my case but in my case but in my case with humans we hold on with through our with humans we hold on with through our with humans we hold on with through our thoughts so but going into the cold and thoughts so but going into the cold and thoughts so but going into the cold and i recommend this for everybody who
32:00i recommend this for everybody who i recommend this for everybody who suffers from people who are suiciding or suffers from people who are suiciding or suffers from people who are suiciding or tragic deaths tragic deaths tragic deaths go into the cold water it makes you a go into the cold water it makes you a go into the cold water it makes you a body being able to reset body being able to reset body being able to reset to find the energy the purpose again to find the energy the purpose again to find the energy the purpose again because i needed to have purpose for uh because i needed to have purpose for uh because i needed to have purpose for uh creating a new nest for my four children creating a new nest for my four children creating a new nest for my four children without money without money without money i did it i did it and they had a great i did it i did it and they had a great i did it i did it and they had a great youth youth youth because i was always there like the sun because i was always there like the sun because i was always there like the sun i had energy all over it's i had energy all over it's i had energy all over it's because that's what because that's what because that's what the call does it it gives you the call does it it gives you the call does it it gives you you have to have energy here otherwise you have to have energy here otherwise you have to have energy here otherwise you're going to die so you're going to die so you're going to die so for the rest of the day you got bloody for the rest of the day you got bloody for the rest of the day you got bloody much energy much energy much energy so that that was great for the children so that that was great for the children so that that was great for the children and now they work with me they work and and now they work with me they work and and now they work with me they work and they believe it there before when i when
33:00they believe it there before when i when they believe it there before when i when they were young i could not appear on they were young i could not appear on they were young i could not appear on school yard in the winter time in my school yard in the winter time in my school yard in the winter time in my short doing uh short doing uh short doing uh doing handstands and splits doing handstands and splits doing handstands and splits yeah i had to uh yeah i had to uh yeah i had to uh wait like all the other mothers and wait like all the other mothers and wait like all the other mothers and fathers did smoking a cigarette and then fathers did smoking a cigarette and then fathers did smoking a cigarette and then you are normal no i was doing my you are normal no i was doing my you are normal no i was doing my in shorts and uh doing splits in in in shorts and uh doing splits in in in shorts and uh doing splits in in mid-winter getting them from the school mid-winter getting them from the school mid-winter getting them from the school then it was not a day they felt a little then it was not a day they felt a little then it was not a day they felt a little bit ashamed but now bit ashamed but now bit ashamed but now now now they know it now they have become they know it now they have become they know it now they have become instructors themselves into a method instructors themselves into a method instructors themselves into a method which bears their father's name which bears their father's name which bears their father's name so so we are healing people by the thousands we are healing people by the thousands we are healing people by the thousands ten tens of thousands hundreds of ten tens of thousands hundreds of ten tens of thousands hundreds of thousands i don't know i i lost count i thousands i don't know i i lost count i thousands i don't know i i lost count i just keep on going the other thing is in just keep on going the other thing is in just keep on going the other thing is in detroit in detroit i showed in the brain detroit in detroit i showed in the brain detroit in detroit i showed in the brain scans
34:00scans scans i showed a that i was capable to control i showed a that i was capable to control i showed a that i was capable to control this is what they said the uh uh this is what they said the uh uh this is what they said the uh uh now we have the compelling evidence of now we have the compelling evidence of now we have the compelling evidence of the key components of the autonomous the key components of the autonomous the key components of the autonomous processes autonomous is outside of our processes autonomous is outside of our processes autonomous is outside of our will now inside of our will are related will now inside of our will are related will now inside of our will are related to moot regulation to moot regulation to moot regulation the autonomous processes in the brain the autonomous processes in the brain the autonomous processes in the brain related to mood regulation and then he related to mood regulation and then he related to mood regulation and then he sat at the professor vibe of divakar he sat at the professor vibe of divakar he sat at the professor vibe of divakar he told me when told me when told me when this technique is this transformational this technique is this transformational this technique is this transformational technique will go and change mental technique will go and change mental technique will go and change mental health care health care health care and then my cycle was around and then my cycle was around and then my cycle was around because when my wife died i was hopeless because when my wife died i was hopeless because when my wife died i was hopeless i was powerless i could not do anything i was powerless i could not do anything i was powerless i could not do anything and they shot injections pills therapy and they shot injections pills therapy and they shot injections pills therapy it only went down down down down down it only went down down down down down it only went down down down down down nothing but now let me tell you anybody
35:00nothing but now let me tell you anybody nothing but now let me tell you anybody who's depressed and he's going to start who's depressed and he's going to start who's depressed and he's going to start to do this to do this to do this and to do it right you will get a and to do it right you will get a and to do it right you will get a absolute control within his brain over absolute control within his brain over absolute control within his brain over whatever is happening over there the whatever is happening over there the whatever is happening over there the biochemistry the hormonal uh biochemistry the hormonal uh biochemistry the hormonal uh homeostasis of dopamine serotonin he homeostasis of dopamine serotonin he homeostasis of dopamine serotonin he gets uh he will learn to regulate his gets uh he will learn to regulate his gets uh he will learn to regulate his mood at will this was thought of in mood at will this was thought of in mood at will this was thought of in psychiatry impossible only long therapy psychiatry impossible only long therapy psychiatry impossible only long therapy i see and i tell you within 10 minutes i see and i tell you within 10 minutes i see and i tell you within 10 minutes 15 minutes at the most 15 minutes at the most 15 minutes at the most people get the sense that they are in people get the sense that they are in people get the sense that they are in control control control if they're doing it that fast is that if they're doing it that fast is that if they're doing it that fast is that through the breathing work or is that through the breathing work or is that through the breathing work or is that from the cold exposure or sort of from the cold exposure or sort of from the cold exposure or sort of interrupting their negative thoughts interrupting their negative thoughts interrupting their negative thoughts what how's it able to take hold so fast what how's it able to take hold so fast what how's it able to take hold so fast so with the breathing so with the breathing so with the breathing with the breathing techniques you with the breathing techniques you with the breathing techniques you absolutely enter into the stress mode
36:00absolutely enter into the stress mode absolutely enter into the stress mode they saw this this is what they saw but they saw this this is what they saw but they saw this this is what they saw but the uh the principle is right in when the uh the principle is right in when the uh the principle is right in when your functionality needs to be at best your functionality needs to be at best your functionality needs to be at best that's in danger that's in danger that's in danger then the adrenal axis is activated and then the adrenal axis is activated and then the adrenal axis is activated and anything that should not be there anything that should not be there anything that should not be there to uh to interrupt with the to uh to interrupt with the to uh to interrupt with the functionality to flee and or fight that functionality to flee and or fight that functionality to flee and or fight that is going to be get rid of the body knows is going to be get rid of the body knows is going to be get rid of the body knows how to do that one thing is depression how to do that one thing is depression how to do that one thing is depression the other thing is disease that's why the other thing is disease that's why the other thing is disease that's why people when they are in war and somebody people when they are in war and somebody people when they are in war and somebody shot their leg off they still are able shot their leg off they still are able shot their leg off they still are able to order the people around to order the people around to order the people around uh because their adrenaline is gone uh because their adrenaline is gone uh because their adrenaline is gone so they don't feel it their opioids are so they don't feel it their opioids are so they don't feel it their opioids are done it's blocked they gotta function done it's blocked they gotta function done it's blocked they gotta function that's why that's what that adrenaline that's why that's what that adrenaline that's why that's what that adrenaline is now is now is now they did compare the breathing exercises they did compare the breathing exercises they did compare the breathing exercises in the blood blood samples
37:00people lying on people lying on on the bad sofa on the bad sofa on the bad sofa and they compared the blood results and they compared the blood results and they compared the blood results together with people going into their together with people going into their together with people going into their first in fear into their first bungee first in fear into their first bungee first in fear into their first bungee jump jump jump and they saw and they saw and they saw the people doing at the breathing the people doing at the breathing the people doing at the breathing exercises lying feeling kind of high on exercises lying feeling kind of high on exercises lying feeling kind of high on their own supply their own supply their own supply like harish nice and like harish nice and like harish nice and they had more adrenaline lying on bed they had more adrenaline lying on bed they had more adrenaline lying on bed than the people in fear going into their than the people in fear going into their than the people in fear going into their first bungee jump that's so first bungee jump that's so first bungee jump that's so counterintuitive whim that you would one counterintuitive whim that you would one counterintuitive whim that you would one would think if you've got somebody who's would think if you've got somebody who's would think if you've got somebody who's depressed that you depressed that you depressed that you want to calm them down you want to get want to calm them down you want to get want to calm them down you want to get them to relax and make things easy the them to relax and make things easy the them to relax and make things easy the idea of getting them so stressed through idea of getting them so stressed through idea of getting them so stressed through breathing that they have a higher stress breathing that they have a higher stress breathing that they have a higher stress response than somebody who's about to response than somebody who's about to response than somebody who's about to bungee jump bungee jump bungee jump that's really intriguing that's really intriguing that's really intriguing yes and the thing is they don't notice yes and the thing is they don't notice yes and the thing is they don't notice that that uh consciously they feel kind of
38:00uh consciously they feel kind of uh consciously they feel kind of high-ish this breathing technique is so amazing i this breathing technique is so amazing i was uh doing this with the people who was uh doing this with the people who was uh doing this with the people who are are are paralyzed paralyzed paralyzed and these breathing exercises they and these breathing exercises they and these breathing exercises they exercise the vascular system exercise the vascular system exercise the vascular system more than somebody who is running more than somebody who is running more than somebody who is running imagine people who are paralyzed imagine people who are paralyzed imagine people who are paralyzed they cannot run they cannot walk they they cannot run they cannot walk they they cannot run they cannot walk they can't do anything like that and now they can't do anything like that and now they can't do anything like that and now they are able through breathing exercises to are able through breathing exercises to are able through breathing exercises to exercise their exercise their exercise their vascular system more than somebody is vascular system more than somebody is vascular system more than somebody is running and more adrenaline than running and more adrenaline than running and more adrenaline than somebody who is going into its first somebody who is going into its first somebody who is going into its first bungee jump what a healing properties it bungee jump what a healing properties it bungee jump what a healing properties it must have they get to their must have they get to their must have they get to their functionality they felt happy functionality they felt happy functionality they felt happy that's what they said this should be that's what they said this should be that's what they said this should be spread all over the world in any spread all over the world in any spread all over the world in any revalidation revalidation revalidation center in the world doing do it do it center in the world doing do it do it center in the world doing do it do it guys do it and drain and stimulate also
39:00guys do it and drain and stimulate also guys do it and drain and stimulate also your vascular system with the gold to your vascular system with the gold to your vascular system with the gold to go hand gloves in ice water and do like go hand gloves in ice water and do like go hand gloves in ice water and do like this because even though you don't feel this because even though you don't feel this because even though you don't feel it it still reacts and you know what it it still reacts and you know what it it still reacts and you know what happens until all the veins they are happens until all the veins they are happens until all the veins they are connected to the nervous system to open connected to the nervous system to open connected to the nervous system to open and close and close and close is the nervous system so it is an is the nervous system so it is an is the nervous system so it is an indirect way to reboot to er to to to indirect way to reboot to er to to to indirect way to reboot to er to to to get to get the engine going in a get to get the engine going in a get to get the engine going in a different way they shoot bloody different way they shoot bloody different way they shoot bloody investigate any doctor who is listening investigate any doctor who is listening investigate any doctor who is listening now now get into this [ __ ] because it really get into this [ __ ] because it really get into this [ __ ] because it really works so getting back with the works so getting back with the works so getting back with the depression it is depression and the depression it is depression and the depression it is depression and the hormonal system is at work there is a hormonal system is at work there is a hormonal system is at work there is a lack of serotonin and dopamine that is lack of serotonin and dopamine that is lack of serotonin and dopamine that is depression depression is loss of depression depression is loss of depression depression is loss of pressure pressure pressure loss of pressure loss of pressure loss of pressure caused by a uh caused by a uh caused by a uh this equilibrium of dopamine serotonin
40:00this equilibrium of dopamine serotonin this equilibrium of dopamine serotonin in the cell in the neurons in the cell in the neurons in the cell in the neurons so so in the ganglia inside in the ganglia inside in the ganglia inside and so there is a lag and that's what we and so there is a lag and that's what we and so there is a lag and that's what we call depression then you don't feel good call depression then you don't feel good call depression then you don't feel good when you get into adrenaline when you get into adrenaline when you get into adrenaline then it shoots out through the body and then it shoots out through the body and then it shoots out through the body and it rebalances everything what needs to it rebalances everything what needs to it rebalances everything what needs to be rebalanced it's directly connected be rebalanced it's directly connected be rebalanced it's directly connected because adrenaline is a hormone because adrenaline is a hormone because adrenaline is a hormone it knows those are messengers electrical it knows those are messengers electrical it knows those are messengers electrical signals and they they do their thing signals and they they do their thing signals and they they do their thing almost almost almost instantly instantly instantly is there a little blockage of is there a little blockage of is there a little blockage of conditioning a wrong wiring of such a conditioning a wrong wiring of such a conditioning a wrong wiring of such a long time it just passed through because long time it just passed through because long time it just passed through because it's stronger than somebody who goes it's stronger than somebody who goes it's stronger than somebody who goes into his first into his first into his first bungee jump i mean you are not even bungee jump i mean you are not even bungee jump i mean you are not even aware that it is happening aware that it is happening aware that it is happening when you are lying there and doing the when you are lying there and doing the when you are lying there and doing the breathing and but afterwards you will breathing and but afterwards you will breathing and but afterwards you will see
41:00see see people who are depressed suddenly you people who are depressed suddenly you people who are depressed suddenly you have said have said have said wow wow wow i didn't feel so good i didn't feel so good i didn't feel so good says i don't know what happened what says i don't know what happened what says i don't know what happened what happened you know being flabbergasted happened you know being flabbergasted happened you know being flabbergasted that's what you want in the beginning that's what you want in the beginning that's what you want in the beginning with people not talking no cognitive with people not talking no cognitive with people not talking no cognitive therapy therapy therapy let them do and feeling is the let them do and feeling is the let them do and feeling is the understanding understanding understanding this is all all what i'm saying about this is all all what i'm saying about this is all all what i'm saying about the ancestry about the ancestry about the ancestry about the way the cell works the telomeres the the way the cell works the telomeres the the way the cell works the telomeres the gene expressions gene expressions gene expressions i go i go i go anywhere until anywhere until anywhere until this this this nature is back to us to be lived in nature is back to us to be lived in nature is back to us to be lived in harmony with and to be happy strong and harmony with and to be happy strong and harmony with and to be happy strong and healthy for everybody in the world and healthy for everybody in the world and healthy for everybody in the world and there is little money present because there is little money present because there is little money present because unconditional love doesn't need money if unconditional love doesn't need money if unconditional love doesn't need money if you are a love in a woman you are a love in a woman you are a love in a woman man you fly you don't think man you fly you don't think man you fly you don't think that's what you want you want to feel that's what you want you want to feel that's what you want you want to feel the love for life and that's who we are
42:00the love for life and that's who we are the love for life and that's who we are spiritually and that this is all about spiritually and that this is all about spiritually and that this is all about and i like your questions and i like your questions and i like your questions and i like your inquisitive nature since and i like your inquisitive nature since and i like your inquisitive nature since the last time you did your homework the last time you did your homework the last time you did your homework that's good because i want to polish the that's good because i want to polish the that's good because i want to polish the diamond of the truth anytime through the diamond of the truth anytime through the diamond of the truth anytime through the right critical questions right critical questions right critical questions so i'm on there and so i'm on there and so i'm on there and together we are like brothers together we are like brothers together we are like brothers spiritual brothers we bring spiritual brothers we bring spiritual brothers we bring evidence-based clarity to the people evidence-based clarity to the people evidence-based clarity to the people and and we develop ways together and and we develop ways together and and we develop ways together you got a lot of money but you don't you got a lot of money but you don't you got a lot of money but you don't give a [ __ ] about about it you give a give a [ __ ] about about it you give a give a [ __ ] about about it you give a [ __ ] about this [ __ ] about this [ __ ] about this and that is good and that is good and that is good that is the goodness of your heart it's that is the goodness of your heart it's that is the goodness of your heart it's still there that makes you a very good still there that makes you a very good still there that makes you a very good man man man thank you man i appreciate that very thank you man i appreciate that very thank you man i appreciate that very much i love that you're willing to put much i love that you're willing to put much i love that you're willing to put this all out there that you're willing this all out there that you're willing this all out there that you're willing to be tested i remember the first time i to be tested i remember the first time i to be tested i remember the first time i came across you came across you came across you god 15 years ago i mean it's a long time god 15 years ago i mean it's a long time god 15 years ago i mean it's a long time ago and it was the i think the bbc
43:00ago and it was the i think the bbc ago and it was the i think the bbc documentary you did about becoming documentary you did about becoming documentary you did about becoming superhuman or whatever and you were of superhuman or whatever and you were of superhuman or whatever and you were of course the iceman and they showed you course the iceman and they showed you course the iceman and they showed you doing all the crazy feats that you've doing all the crazy feats that you've doing all the crazy feats that you've done um you're now you've run a marathon done um you're now you've run a marathon done um you're now you've run a marathon without water in the desert without water in the desert without water in the desert people think of you obviously as the people think of you obviously as the people think of you obviously as the iceman for very clear reasons but i see iceman for very clear reasons but i see iceman for very clear reasons but i see you now experimenting with other things you now experimenting with other things you now experimenting with other things how did you manage to run a marathon i how did you manage to run a marathon i how did you manage to run a marathon i don't think people could do that in a don't think people could do that in a don't think people could do that in a normal environment let alone in the normal environment let alone in the normal environment let alone in the middle of the desert um is it just that middle of the desert um is it just that middle of the desert um is it just that this applies to this applies to this applies to controlling your physiology like controlling your physiology like controlling your physiology like how did that work or did you have to how did that work or did you have to how did that work or did you have to train for the heat train for the heat train for the heat no absolutely no training and i'm not a no absolutely no training and i'm not a no absolutely no training and i'm not a runner at all runner at all runner at all i just got an idea that was half year i just got an idea that was half year i just got an idea that was half year before i run the marathon that was my before i run the marathon that was my before i run the marathon that was my second marathon second marathon second marathon the first one was uh like the first one was uh like the first one was uh like it was it was the bbc who called me he it was it was the bbc who called me he it was it was the bbc who called me he said well we got a series on the said well we got a series on the said well we got a series on the superhuman we got the spiderman we got
44:00superhuman we got the spiderman we got superhuman we got the spiderman we got the man on wire and we got the birdman the man on wire and we got the birdman the man on wire and we got the birdman and they call you the iceman i thought and they call you the iceman i thought and they call you the iceman i thought wow right nice name so yes do you know wow right nice name so yes do you know wow right nice name so yes do you know any by any chance any challenge coming any by any chance any challenge coming any by any chance any challenge coming up and you could be in the series up and you could be in the series up and you could be in the series and then i made it up while i was on the and then i made it up while i was on the and then i made it up while i was on the phone yes i can run i never run a phone yes i can run i never run a phone yes i can run i never run a marathon at all i i i'm not into running marathon at all i i i'm not into running marathon at all i i i'm not into running maybe a couple of miles that's it but i maybe a couple of miles that's it but i maybe a couple of miles that's it but i will run a marathon and it's in two will run a marathon and it's in two will run a marathon and it's in two months okay in two months i will run a months okay in two months i will run a months okay in two months i will run a marathon mid marathon mid marathon mid beyond the polish circle in my shorts beyond the polish circle in my shorts beyond the polish circle in my shorts yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes they said and then two months later i they said and then two months later i they said and then two months later i was there and when i did it was there and when i did it was there and when i did it then i thought hey i did it all i stood then i thought hey i did it all i stood then i thought hey i did it all i stood in the ice i swam in the ice i i've been in the ice i swam in the ice i i've been in the ice i swam in the ice i i've been running running running i've been climbing mountains in the eyes i've been climbing mountains in the eyes i've been climbing mountains in the eyes all in short i did it you know what now all in short i did it you know what now all in short i did it you know what now i will go to the heat
45:00i will go to the heat i will go to the heat so so half a year later without training half a year later without training half a year later without training i was in the namib desert i was in the namib desert i was in the namib desert and i run a married full marathon and i run a married full marathon and i run a married full marathon because of my confidence because i know because of my confidence because i know because of my confidence because i know how to deal with stress that's it i got how to deal with stress that's it i got how to deal with stress that's it i got deep confidence therein it's like if you deep confidence therein it's like if you deep confidence therein it's like if you know how to drive you you don't feel know how to drive you you don't feel know how to drive you you don't feel anxiety going into the car and going to anxiety going into the car and going to anxiety going into the car and going to drive drive drive but but but it's foolish to go without anxiety and it's foolish to go without anxiety and it's foolish to go without anxiety and you cannot drive you cannot drive you cannot drive because because accidents will happen accidents will happen accidents will happen but i was trained i got my driver but i was trained i got my driver but i was trained i got my driver license by years going into stressful license by years going into stressful license by years going into stressful situations and that the cold uh teaches situations and that the cold uh teaches situations and that the cold uh teaches you not only to how to deal with you not only to how to deal with you not only to how to deal with temperature mechanisms in the deep uh temperature mechanisms in the deep uh temperature mechanisms in the deep uh the depth of the brain but it also the depth of the brain but it also the depth of the brain but it also teaches you how to deal with stress how teaches you how to deal with stress how teaches you how to deal with stress how to go consciously into the stress so the
