The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

So, you know, you get a viral infection and it takes so long for the immune system to lock in that that virus has built up to such a level that when the immune system finally engages, you die of inflammation.

And the fact that we now have a mechanism to control that cytokine storm

Proven, by the way, this isn't hyperbole.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

I mean, I'm going to link all of the studies that this man has done with all of this.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

By the way, getting published in Nature and some of these journals, these are very, very prestigious, peer-reviewed journals, and the science is there.

And I think that academiaβ€”

And when we get infected with disease, with pathology,

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

If we give up and say, I no longer believe in what God gave us, I believe only in what man makes us, yeah, I'm gonna need a pharmaceutical, a synthetic, a chemical to fix this, rather than the deep belief that we can heal ourselves and using things like cold and like breath work.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

And I wanna talk about some of the mechanisms.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

Because this is now no longer like a tree-hugging society that's out breathing in the wilderness.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

This is data that has been done at some of the leading universities in the world, leading research institutions in the world.

So let's walk this back.

And for people that are fascinated by the idea that they might have some control over their stress, over their inflammation, over their mood, over their emotional state, where did they begin?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
