The podcast Infamous is covering how, in the last decade, the “Iceman” Wim Hof (a.k.a. Justin Bieber’s “Breathwork Santa”) has become a household name. Orlando Bloom to Oprah Winfrey have practiced his method, which includes daily cold plunges and hyperventilation breath work. But despite intense success, is Wim Hoff responsible for encouraging practices known to be dangerous—and even deadly? In this episode, Vanessa interviews investigative journalist Scott Carney, Wim’s former ghostwriter, who has been looking into deaths related to Wim’s method. Learn more about your ad choices.
