And so we become stronger for the next bout of stress. And that is building stress resilience. We're not built as modern human beings to deal with this constant short-term stressors. We're not built yet. And this is why this method is so great as well as regulating stress.

So at one hand, Laura said it very beautifully, eustress, hormetic stress, it gives a big stress point, the artery goes up and it goes down. And then like emotions, et cetera, when you're facing an issue, your cell has that as well.

afterward it becomes more resilient okay more resilient so that is just one entry and the other one of the Wim Hof method what we are doing actually with inducing controlled stressors because these are controlled stressors is that yeah you get a big bounce of stress and then you're relaxed and then as well what we have seen in research while doing the method so they put some people in fmris

They checked the brains, did some research, brain research. And then they saw actually that this endocannabinoids, the ECB1 receptors, endocannabinoids says receptors one, increased. And what it means actually, these are widespread in the brain. 10%, 10% of the cells are, you have these receptors on the brain. When you have more of these cells, you actually are

increasing your stress response because these receptors, if you have more of these receptors, they act as a stress buffer. So for a next time, if you're practicing it for a long run, they did this measurements for during six weeks. So they measured just one week before the methods and one week after, but there they saw an increase of these receptors and it means a better stress response.

So that means actually when stress comes in, you are less reactive. You're more responding. So stress hits you less harder. It's also the endocannabinoid system, opioid system. It's the same system that we actually also give a boost when we use painkillers. So actually Wim Hof method, it's a natural painkiller.

Wow. Well, for that, I really think you need to have this deep connection with your inner self. And if you lost that, then you can not understand what actually your road is or what you want to be, or what you believe in, what is important for you. If you don't know those things that are important for you, how can you act on it? And that deeper self is for me intuition as well.
