Wasn't there some talk about Greta getting the Nobel? 😂
Wearing Occlusion Bands around arms and tights during the exercises brings perfect hypoxia. Even elder people can do this and get rid of many diseases.
Hello so I've been studying the wim hof method for sometime. I've only done this method twice out of skepticism and I honestly seen a difference in my mood and my energy level within the first 3 days. My question is does it matter how long you hold your breath? I can not hold my breath for 2 min. But I also suffer from fear of suffocation or drowning. So if I produce more adrenaline in doing this even tho I do not hold for 2 min. Is this still effective?
@Wim Hof, are you familiar with the "Buteyko Method" ? it would be interesting to see a discussion/collaboration effort between the buteyko method and wim's own insights. They differ but also have lots of overlapping !
Congratulations Wim! That's as much your prize as anyone who measured your achievements. You were the one who actually lead scientists to a Nobel prize. Amazing.
Indian sages have been preaching hundreds of breathing methods like this for thousands of years called ‘pranayam’ .Sad that the world has forgotten about them.This is just a modification of what has been already existing since hundreds of years in Hinduism and Buddhism
It all looks great, except for cancer patients or those who want to prevent it. As this breathing cycle stimulates the fabrication of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) via IGF (Ipoxia induced factor), doesn't it contribute to the development of tumors? In cancer, stimulating angiogenesis means promoting tumor growth and metastasis! Did these researchers address this issue?
It has been proven that, in relation to normal tissues, HIF is activated in solid tumors. This behavior generally results from a combination of local hypoxia and an increased level of HIF activation of cancer cells for a given oxygen pressure. In most studies, although not all, the tumors for which HIF activation is more marked, are associated with greater clinical severity. In some experimental studies in which a group of cells are implanted in immunodeficient mice, HIF inactivation has potent effects that generally lead to a reduction in angiogenesis and tumor growth. However, several studies have revealed that the growth of HIF-deficient tumors is in fact faster, which is not entirely surprising given the pleiotropy of the annexed effects of HIF.
I’m so confused everyday on the internet cause yesterday I was just reading about Hyperbaric chambers and how slaming oxygen into ur cells is good…. now people are winning Nobel prizes for the opposite…
As a freediver in the past I can surely say things are much more complex with hyperventilation. It is flushing CO2 that allows you to “not want to breath” and it is very dangerous (freedivers don’t do hyperventilation) because O2 goes down indeed without you noticing it and blackout comes unexpectedly. It does not prolong your breath hold. It only shuts down the urge to breath for a while (if you have low willpower and give up quickly – you will be able to hold breath longer, but that’s far from your maximum breath hold). And I am pretty sure the mechanism that Nobel prize winners describe can not be triggered by hyperventilation. So no, this does not confirm Wim Hof.
hi! cant connect this news with WHM. can somebody explain physiological mechanism?when u breathing u becoming alcaline cause u are getting A LOT OF O2 inside a lot of. so where is the hypoxie?

I don't understand… isn't the breathing for "oxygenizing the body and all the cells" as Wim says it in his videos not for LOWERING the oxygen level?
Wim Hof should get the Nobel Prize………?
This is what Tebitan Monks and Hindu saints did for thousands of years. Yoga with breathe control on high altitude.
Im pretty sure he learned it from the munks
Humbly thank you

Wonderful that explains some of the si thorns we people from high altitude have bigger lungs to stored more oxygen for the brain to function.
There are 0 references to scientific papers. How do you expect that people with certain scepticism will believe you?
Who esle is a true fan of WIM HOFF 👇

HIFs aren't complexes. They are individual proteins. It's also not at all surprising that hypoxia induces EPO expression.
Anyhow, this prize is not about Wim's method. It's not at all as if the aim of these researchers was to find a way to support Wim's method.
Seriously. How stupid do you think we are?!

i thought the point of wim hof method was to saturate blood with oxygen not depleat it?
Goed gedaan Wim!!!! Je zoon heeft mij in 2016 enorm geholpen toen Ik in het ziekenhuis lag.

Wim will this help during benzo withdrawls? I’m already feeling some benefits but I want to know your opinion. Much love!

Unfortunately this is still all hypothesis. But I do enjoy me some breathing in and letting go regardless.
Won hof is a nerd.
The therapeutic effects of hypoxia is well known for thousands of years… So, be more modest.

Mo entiendo nada. Pongan esto aunque sea con somubtitulos en español.
Is this similar to what free divers do?
We love you,Wim!
Lol this isn't anything new, ask anyone in deep meditation as it slows your breathing, also why people do buteyko
