And then they used that in a thermo-physiological experiment in Detroit, in the hospital, to test to see if people are able to use parts of the mind that cope with the stress.

Cold is stress.

So what they do is pumping a cold water into the vest, into the tubes, and they measure the skin temperature and they look inside the brain what is happening, how the person is dealing with stress.

And nobody could really do something against that.

And what I was doing,

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

There was this, I'm talking squirrels.

There was this not so tall, he looks like Napoleon, a professor.

And he swims every day, he swims every day, 800 meters butterfly.

You know, that it says he is into breathing without knowing.

And he's got a lot of energy.

But he had difficulties pouring ice cubes in the container, which was pumping water, me being in the fMRI, motionless, because I was warming up the water.

263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

Wow.

So my skin temperature never went down.

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

Wow.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

And it came in, and then warming the water again, and then ice cubes again, cold, warm, cold, and you see fluctuation of skin temperature.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

And then you look inside the brain.

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

What did I do?

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

I just set my intention.

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

I don't want to call today because today I got the chance to show that we can do more than we think.

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

That is so powerful.
