![]() To become effectively against the exposure of the ice cold, you have to breathe deeper into the tissue, bring oxygen, change the chemistry, become alkaline. Soon I found out that the ice cold water makes you breathe different. From there, because it made me feel so good inside, mind-body, I came back and did it again and again and it became a regular practice. The soul search was really on track there. That’s in Amsterdam when I was 17, which is 40 years ago. But I couldn’t really match up with that feeling until I met the ice cold water just in my backyard in wintertime. It brought me into all kinds of disciplines, esotericism, religions, traditions, cultures, many countries and travelings. If that feeling is nagging you from the inside, you become a soul searcher. Wim: There is more than meets the eye, only I felt it but I did not know what. How did you get to be The Iceman? You do stuff that’s weird even by my standards, and that’s a compliment by the way. Wim, for people listening, and probably a couple hundred thousand people hear the interview the first few weeks of this, some of them don’t know who you are. Thank you for welcoming me on your show.ĭave: You’re welcome. I gave my talk after Wim basically put me through the wringer, but it was awesome. Wim came up on stage and said, “Dave, are you going to do this? My breathing technique.” He has me hyperventilating and holding my breath empty and doing pushups right before my keynote presentation to the point that I’m starting to hallucinate a little bit, which happens. I met Wim for the first time in person when our mutual friend, Rick Rubin, brought him to the Bulletproof Conference two years ago. But on top of that, he works with scientists and doctors and he’s on a mission to just unlock our evolutionary potential. Wim has control of his biology in a way that makes the rest of us blush. If you’ve ever seen the ads of a guy diving into cold water and swimming with seals and things like that. But in shorts? He’s developed a breathing meditation technique that’s awesome. He’s a very attractive man, but one who’s climbed Everest I think was it naked carrying ice bags? Not quite. An extremophile is a single-celled organism that lives near a volcanic vent or at the bottom of a frozen ocean, and they tend to be ugly bacteria. Today’s guest, if I didn’t already give it away, is none other than Wim Hof, also known as “The Iceman.” He’s one of the world’s most famed multicellular extremophiles. Methyl B12, methylfolate, these are things that I take every single day, have for years, on the Bulletproof Top 10 Supplement List, they’re now available from. If you’re going to do the stuff we talk about in today’s show, which has a lot to do with cold and with having more control of your breathing, then you’re definitely going to want to make sure that you give yourselves the building blocks to have healthy neurons. These are things you can take and things that I take every day that improve the ability of your body to do what it’s supposed to do. ![]() Methylfolate for your heart and neurons and methyl B12, which is really important for all sorts of neurological function. It turns out that just about everyone can use methylated B vitamins, but a lot of us, about a third of us, don’t handle B vitamins that are not activated this way. I just came out with a couple different methylated B vitamins. Somewhere around here I have my stuff.įor today’s product mention, which you can expect. ![]() But while we’re doing that, we’re talking about mitochondrial function. You probably could figure out who the guest is. As you know, I like to foreshadow the guest. A study recently showed that exposure to really cold showers ramps up your brown fat activity by only 15 times, and that could translate to about nine pounds a year. What makes it brown is that it has more mitochondria. Brown fat is good fat that keeps you warm and protects you from cold. Today’s cool fact of the day is that, do you know you have brown and white fat and that cold showers can actually help you lose weight? White fat is the fat you get when you don’t have mitochondria that work very well or you eat a lot of inflammatory foods, a lot of sugar and things like that. A state of high performance.ĭave: You’re listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey. In this episode of Bulletproof Radio Dave gets the “Dutch Daredevil” to reveal how achieved the superhuman abilities that have stunned the scientific community and changed everything the world’s smartest scientists thought they knew about the human body.Ĭlick here to download a PDF of this transcript These are just some of the amazing feats accomplished by Wim Hof. Control Your Mitochondria with your mind. Survive submersion in freezing water for hours.
