Welcome to Quick, brain, bite sized brain hacks for busy people who want to learn faster and achieve more. I'm your coach Jim quick.
Three your. Let's imagine if we could access 100% of our brain's capacity. I wasn't, I wasn't wired, just clear. I knew what I needed to do, and how to do it. I know cook food. Show. Me, welcome
back, quick brain. So here's your question of the day. How do you conquer your mind for greater?
Happiness, strength and health. I mean that's really the question. Everybody wants to be able to access those things. And we have a very special guest here today with him off. Thanks for being here, buddy. Thanks. It's good to see you. Thanks
Jim. It's Jim. Yeah, it is
Jim and this is win. Win win. I like that. There we go. That's the show right there. Right up. You know, we I first interviewed you five years ago in Boston. We were speaking at our mutual friend Tony's event.
Right outside of Harvard and I have this picture of us together doing our your exercise. Yeah, it was really amazing and it's wonderful to follow your career the past, five years, because it's just people getting turned on to the power of breath and the power of cold, all our viewers, our listeners. They're really excited about the potential of the mind. That's what this show really is all about breaking limits and I feel like it's not even just the moon and the stars. It's like, we are our own limit and you've done some extraordinary things in your life.
If so, many world records that you have broken, what are some of those that we could talk about here? Just to give people an idea who not familiar with your
work, through the power of the will and intention. I thought to do things sort of impossible. Yeah. And like climbing Mount Everest in your short and your shorts first, it was done by oxygen with the aid of oxygen and clothes that without he ate of out.
June. And now I thought I'm going to do it without oxygen and without clothes. Okay, just a naked truth, into the Death Zone on Mount Everest, in short, and losing the way because they're I had, I found myself suddenly in a whiteout in a wide-eyed. It means snow everywhere and there is no path there. It's only snow and ice and it's white. And it was no.
No, Sherpa, no guide, you got your lost but there I found myself. Is surprisingly very confident, Swift good in my body while being in those extremes, the mind, if you know how to control it, you know, how to control the extremes coming to you, not making you paranoid or full of anxiety. You
Are able to tap in and to find even the way where nothing is visible. Three hours later. I found myself in a advanced base camp at 20,000 feet received by Tibetans who saw a man in short coming out of the snow. It's the power of the mind, which led me into a Tivoli to the right place. So, if you are able to do that, and you find yourself,
Self that we are able to do a whole lot
more. Yeah. Well, you know, we talked about a lot of the research that's been done on our show that we've discovered more about the human brain, the human body more in the probably the past 10 years in the previous thousand years combined. It's all be found as we're grossly under estimating our own capabilities, in our own potential. And so, we seek in this show living examples because I believe the life, we live our lessons, we teach, but you're a inspiring example to the life you live. And some people were listening to
Might be like, Jim like, I don't want to climb Mount Everest in my shorts and under those kind of circumstances. But when we take outstanding examples, like yourself, everybody has things going on in their environment, you know, that creates stress is on them. Maybe not as severe as being that, you know, 20,000 plus feet up in the in the air with very little oxygen on those in the whiteout conditions, but people have their dealing with things with their clients. They're doing with things with family troubles. They're dealing with extra all this external
stuff. I was you
Looking at disease and the world, your War, stress and tension and there's a I thought I don't want to be part of that. Finally. I come to terms with the University's showing em, brain scans, that we actually have a capability within our own brain and we just published that brain over body. It's called these professors. They say after looking at the results of what you have.
Done in the brain scan thought of impossible to access in areas of the brain thought of inaccessible by humans. Right now. We have broken those borders, those limits that knowledge and changing the Paradigm. We are able to battle stress in any way with the power of our own mind by consciously tapping in from the prefrontal cortex into the PA G. Perea.
Aqua, dr. Grey hemisphere part of The Reptilian Brain, the brain stem, the most primitive thought of inaccessible by humans. Now, while I was in the brain scam robustly activating that at will. So the question is, are we able to go into hundred percent power of our own brain? The seat of the mind? We are? I went into the deepest, I activated it while being
Stressfully exposed to ice water on the skin. And normally you cannot do nothing. There's no breathing in the brain scan. You cannot move is nothing only. You can use the power of your own brain of your mind and it showed, I was making the skin temperature not going down while being exposed to ice water. So then they looked inside the brain and then they saw on the surface, the thinking brain, the prefrontal cortex.
X. The conscious. Brain go into the deepest part of the brain and robustly activating. If you are able to go into the deepest, then you have done them. All, you can go anywhere. And that is now the question we are on the threshold of the power of their mind being accessible for every human in the world.
So, what I love about you is your living example, it's not necessarily about walking going in your underwear.
Are out in the, in the Arctic Circle for people listening to it. It's like, but if somebody could do that, what else can they
do? All right. I tell you the first study. I did which was a very revolutionary one. Is what I showed that the autonomic nervous system can be influenced deeply with that. The innate capacity of the Adaptive immune system at will and the endocrine system, immune system is related to health.
Hormonal system. Endocrine system to happiness and to end to pain killing hormones. It's all inside. Right? So the first study I did, I did with the age of climbing a mountain outside because then, if you expose yourself in Extremes, in the, in nature than the deepest of your physiology comes within your conscious control. Four days later, after climbing the mountain, we produced all the results which revolutionized
Medicine showing that we are able to tap into the autonomic nervous system. Get a bacterial ejected and being able to
control that but talk about with that. But you did that study.
Yes. So they were 16,000 134 people were exposed to a big Tyrion it in a controlled experiment is called he endotoxemia experiment. The model. It's injecting a debt bacteria and your immune system severely is gone.
To react upon it, you get become Fever full of fever all over Agony of the body. Vomiting Czar, headaches, uncontrolled shivering, because you have no control over the inflammation, the inflammatory markers in the body and then I trained these people. So 16,000 134 people all becomes a and that suddenly hundred percent School within eighteen people. 12
Them lie, chosen being injected with the same. All okay. Well, all hundred percent score. Okay, sir, perhaps the inflammation within the body caused by the bacteria injected. There. We changed the way science is looking to the perspective of the human capacity of the power of the Mind, both with the breathing, being able to defy a bacteria or to activate it.
A deeper physiology of hours. And with that we changed Medical Science. It's amazing. That's six years ago. Now. This
world and you're not suggesting people at home. It's experimented inject bacteria.
No, no, not at all. Don't do it. Just take a cold shower. A cold shower, a day keeps the doctor away because it works. It's training, the vascular system. You take a hot one. Do you take also cold water, 30 seconds to begin with to
To optimize our vascular condition, which is three times the, the world circumference, and that is very big and it all contains a little muscles. And they are trained by going into the court. And then the heartbeat goes down. 2025 beats a minute. So there is no stress anymore and the nutrients minerals and oxygen gets to all the selves. Now, you get a lot of energy and you train, you avascular channeling and vascular.
Yelling is the life force. Oxygen comes in the transportation to a system is okay. Everything is going to be. Okay,
where do people start with that? He recommends, they don't have to do like a 10 minutes in the beginning.
No. No, I have 30 seconds at the most. Don't go shockingly around with your physiology with your body. No, no shocking. A just 30 seconds cold and we found out natural peace with our self-awareness and breathing.
And a little bit, vascular training, call some called, we are able accidently to tap in all the parts of our physiology and our brave much more than I ever thought possible.
This is available for everybody because it's not just you who's doing this. Many of your students are duplicating this regardless of ability,
and it's growing why it's growing because it
works, right? Because you're under a lot to as you're growing.
Going and your this movement is communities growing. You're under a lot of scrutiny, but it's standing up to that scrutiny. Yeah, because it's a lot of Duty is
stress. While it all the stress is there, you should be able to relax deeply and be happy
and then you could happily achieve, you know, you could do once you have strength and hetchy and happiness. Then you could go out there and impact and grow. There's nothing wrong with doing that, but a lot of people are trying to do that, trying to get that and they get their wealth at the expense of their health care.
From eyes. And at the end, they're trying to get their health back and to give away all their their wealth. Yes, when they could have that as a foundation and then grow from there. It's chronic stress. Chronic fear. At actually, when we talk about the brain, it shrinks the brain. So a good starting point for everyone who's listening and watching is taking cold showers in the morning. Start with just little 10 seconds, but answer
this and you can do as well. Is that a four-point? You look through this simple assembly is of techniques, right? Poor point to go into.
The deepest of the DNA to into the lymphatic system, thought of inaccessible, into the deepest of the brain and into the bone marrow. Okay. We are all able to do that
and you're saying is how people do it. If they put themselves in difficult situations, like taking a cold shower. Something simple that everyone could do then being uncomfortable. It's important because that will show up in other areas where they're uncomfortable when they need to give a presentation at work. Exactly, take a test. You have anxiety by doing difficult things because it
Biochemistry, yes, and you learn to control the biochemistry bygone, consciously uncomfortable situation, which is the call
because a people just put themselves in Easy situations all the time. Then life gets very difficult. Now. Do you recommend when people are doing 10 seconds that they increase it as they go on, I guess more and more
No Force, just go along with your feeling. You feeling is your guide. The guy wants to bring you in the depth of your body and with that the brain
And with that the mind and with that, the spirit and soul.
I love that. How do you spend your time? Like what would be a day? You know, we talk about first, you create your habits and then your habits create you, right? You have your habits, a meditation or journaling or ice bass and then those habits create you back. So what would you say? How do you spend your the first talking about time the first hour of your day? Are there certain things that you just
first thing I do when I wake up is
And I was Brenda life, just breath is Life, Is Life Force.
So after you do your breathing in the morning, what would be next in a perfect world? For people watching this? I liked your old and so you do the cold like a cold bath.
Yes. I got a swimming pool and a live in the Netherlands, in the wintertime. It's always cold. So every day, I'm somebody in the swimming pool.
So somebody who is watching this who doesn't have that big pool, but then they can graduate from doing a cold.
Shower to shower, same
thing to a nice to an ice bath. Yes. So what would that
entail? Why not? No means no money. I was still doing my in the wintertime a we got these natural bodies of water
lakes
and I just wanna run to the lake and go into. I got the whole leg for myself because nobody was in there every day and it's amazing the Stillness of emotion.
I can do this, anybody. Well, my oldest student right now is 97 years and she is as she loves doing this and she is only doing this for one year. Now. How about that? There is no restriction. In optimizing your vascular system and the control from the brain down into the body. And vice versa. There is no limit. There is no limit to our brain because the soul is
our source.
And you're a living example of
that. I'm a man on a mission. You are, I want to bring love into this world. This time, not like hippie and flower power real right through the power of the mind and everybody has
it. Yeah, how would you like to be remembered
that? We like to look crazy. Lovable guy, crazy little change, science
altogether. Well, you're definitely doing that. That's what we do. All right, when how do people stay in touch with
you? I got a website.
Okay, and everything is on the Wim Hof is my name. Yes it mattered.com.,
Okay, and on social media
on social media as well, but I have, I never knew that this is my son and my family that my children do that. Well, I
would highly recommend people go there because you have a lot of great information there. We'll put all this in the show notes, but I would challenge everyone to do is to take a screenshot of this video that you're watching right now or this podcast, take a screenshot tag. Whim tag,
Myself. Yeah, but your big aha. Well, it's your big lesson that you got out of this session. And then as always, I'll repost some of our favorite whim. Thank you for being a not only a force of nature but also Force for good, huh? So good.
Thank you. We are doing it together and together. We have so much stronger.
