] breath and breathing and how that lets you go deeper into yourself. He's set a bunch of really, really remarkable world records.

] on ice and snow. He frequently swims in frozen water. He holds the record for the longest time in direct full-body contact with ice, which is pretty nuts. He's climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro wearing only shorts. 

] his program is called The Wim Hof Method and it's a couple hundred bucks. It's really about breathing. It's almost a meditation and yoga course. He claims that this comes with a bunch of health benefits. I remember seeing a documentary about him where folks at a hospital in a very controlled environment ejected him with, I believe, a virus and he was able to fight it off [00:02:00] by breathing in a certain way, keep his temperature down, and it was a virus that could have brought a lot of harm to him unmedicated, but he beat it without medication.

] overall better mindfulness. The practice really takes, I don't know, maybe 20 minutes a day of breathing and taking cold showers. I don't know, I'm only a week in, or I have one week down. It might escalate quite a bit, but it's a lot of fun. I'm enjoying it.

I've seen him interviewed several times and he doesn't have the typical stunt devil persona. He really seems to be coming from a great place and he is really into [

For example, he holds the record for swimming the longest under ice without any wetsuit or anything else on, just wearing a pair of shorts. He at one time held the record for the fastest half-marathon barefoot [

But his program, which I'm going through and enjoying, I'm only one week into this, [

But I'm going through this because of the benefits that it claims, better sleep, better energy, better mood, and [

I have already noticed that I am sleeping better, that I do have more energy throughout the day, that my mood is [

But again, it's proving to be really enjoyable and it's amazing how good I feel after, you know, cold exposure, after taking a long cold shower. Alright, take care. Bye.
