What becomes real when sight extends beyond the eyes?In this King Hero interview, I'm welcoming back Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan for our third conversation together.Over the past several years, I've watched Edith conduct extraordinary explorations into consciousness, blindfold vision, telepathy, healing, and human potential. Her work raises profound questions about perception, awareness, and the capacities that may lie dormant within us.This conversation ventures into the territory beyond ordinary seeing—into the force of life itself, the nature of consciousness, and the ways our experience of reality changes as our capacity for perception expands.Inside this episode, we explore:• the phenomenon of blindfold vision and mindsight• consciousness beyond conventional sensory perception• telepathy, intuition, and direct knowing• the relationship between awareness and healing• the force of life that animates human experience• how greater seeing changes our relationship with ourselves and the world• the evolution of human potential and consciousness• what Edith has learned from working with children, adults, and whole families activating expanded capacitiesAs always, we'll bring curiosity, direct experience, and a willingness to explore some of the most fascinating questions about what it means to be human.Join us for a conversation that reaches beyond what the eyes can see and into the workings of consciousness itself.About Dr. Edith Ubuntu ChanDr. Edith Ubuntu Chan is an expert in consciousness and human evolution, a Holistic Chinese Medicine Doctor, author, speaker, and mother of two Luminous Kids.Her journey began in 2003 following a series of meditation-induced mystical experiences that transformed her understanding of human potential.

Your lungs already know how to run. The real problem is all the breathing advice telling you otherwise.Breathing is one of the most overcomplicated topics in running. I tested seven popular techniques, from box breathing and Wim Hof to nose breathing and diaphragmatic breathing, to find out which ones actually help you run easier and which ones are better left for bedtime. In this episode, I break down what works during a run, what helps with recovery, and why the simplest approach often delivers the biggest results. If you've ever felt out of breath on easy runs or wondered whether you're breathing “wrong,” this episode will help you train smarter and breathe with less effort.Key TakeawaysMost Breathing Techniques Work Better for Recovery: Methods like 4-7-8, Wim Hof, and box breathing can help you relax and recover, but they are not the best tools to use while you're actually running.Diaphragmatic Breathing Makes Running Feel Easier: Learning to breathe from your belly helps you take deeper breaths and gives you a stronger foundation for every other breathing technique.The Best Breathing Strategy Is to Keep It Simple: Use nose breathing on easy runs to control your pace, and switch to mouth breathing when the effort gets hard and your body needs more air.Timestamps[00:27] What You'll Learn[01:30] How I'm Ranking Them[02:12] #7 4-7-8 Breathing[03:09] Use This to Breathe Better on Your Runs[03:44] #6 Wim Hof Power Breaths[04:44] #5 Box Breathing[06:10] #4 3-2 Rhythmic Stride Breathing[07:51] #3 Cyclic Sighing / Physiological Sigh[09:44] Help Another Runner by Doing This Super Easy Thing[10:31] #2 Diaphragmatic Belly Breathing[12:03] #1 The Best Breathing Method of All[14:44] Why the Best One Is Boring[15:43] Go Deeper on Nose vs. Mouth BreathingLinks & Learnings

In this episode of Perspective Shift, we sit down with Frank Daly to talk about his transformative experience attending a Wim Hof retreat in Sweden. From ice baths and breathwork to mindset breakthroughs and nervous system regulation, Frank shares what it was really like to step outside his comfort zone and immerse himself in the Wim Hof Method.We explore how cold exposure, conscious breathing, and presence can completely shift the way we relate to stress, fear, and the body itself. Frank opens up about the physical, emotional, and spiritual insights he gained throughout the retreat—and how the experience changed his perspective on resilience, healing, and being fully alive.Now streaming on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts.#PerspectiveShift #WimHof #Breathwork #ColdExposure #NervousSystemHealing #MindsetShift #ConsciousLiving #WimHofMethodSupport the show

Kyle Thiermann—writer, journalist, big-wave surfer, and podcast host—breaks down why writing is one of the most powerful tools for thinking clearly, processing life, and escaping what he calls “informational grazing.” He explains how writing forces depth in a distracted world, how to build a repeatable creative system, and why analog tools like longhand drafting and structured research still outperform digital shortcuts. The conversation explores how storytelling, curiosity, and asking better questions can transform not only your work, but your relationships—especially when it comes to documenting family history and interviewing your parents before it's too late.They also go deep on fear and performance. Kyle shares how big-wave surfing trains real-time emotional control, including a near-death hold-down in Ireland, and how that same mindset applies to jiu-jitsu, business, and everyday stress. The episode covers breathwork practices ranging from Wim Hof to rebirthing, the role of somatic experiences, and a grounded, honest take on psychedelics—focusing on intention, caution, and integration rather than hype. You'll also hear Kyle's full morning routine, his perspective on creativity in the age of AI, and practical ways to live with more intention, ask better questions, and create a life that's actually worth writing about.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Why Writing Beats Passive Consumption 03:36 The Truth About Pro Surfing Careers 06:32 Writing Without Self-Censorship 09:36 Why Reporting Improves Writing 13:52 Training Fear Through Big Waves 17:33 Near-Death Wipeout in Ireland 21:23 Breathwork Fundamentals 26:49 Breathwork vs Psychedelics 37:29 Using Psychedelics With Intention 44:43 Morning Routine for Focus 47:22 Creating in the Age of AI 50:06 Better Questions, Better Life 55:11 Navigating Family Trauma 59:39 The Best Questions to Ask 01:07:57 Questions for Depression 01:12:57 Rosebud Thorn Seed Practice 01:16:49 Choosing Fun Over Approval 01:20:29 Capturing Legacy Stories 01:23:23 Where to Find the Book 01:24:02 Final Thoughts and Takeaways

Wir atmen rund 20.000 Mal am Tag – meist unbewusst. Dabei beeinflusst unsere Atmung weit mehr als nur die Sauerstoffversorgung. Dr. med. Wolfgang Gesierich, Chefarzt einer der größten Lungenfachkliniken Deutschlands, und Tom Sietas, 22-facher Weltmeister im Apnoetauchen, sprechen im ERCM Medizin Podcast über das oft unterschätzte Potenzial der Atmung: wissenschaftlich fundiert, differenziert und alltagsnah. Tom Sietas hielt in seiner Profikarriere über 22 Minuten die Luft an (Weltrekord 2012). Er erklärt, warum der Umgang mit großen Herausforderungen entscheidender ist als das Lungenvolumen – und wie Atemtechniken aus dem Leistungssport für jeden von uns nutzbar sind: ob zur Stressregulation, für Fokus oder innere Balance. Diese Episode beantwortet: Warum der Mensch nur 10 bis 20% seiner Lungenkapazität nutzt – und welche Folgen flache Atmung im Alltag haben kann. Wie eine tiefe Bauchatmung das Nervensystem messbar beruhigt und wie Sie diese Methode sofort anwenden können. Wie Klimawandel, Feinstaub und unser urbaner Lebensstil das Risiko für Allergien erhöhen. Welche Rolle die Milz als natürlicher Sauerstoffspeicher beim Tauchen spielt. Was Hyperventilation vor dem Tauchen gefährlich macht – und warum die intensive Wim-Hof-Methode kritisch zu bewerten ist. Warum Lungenkrebserkrankungen heute alle Generationen betreffen – und welche Rolle Risikofaktoren wie Rauchen und Vaping spielen.  Die Experten im ERCM Medizin Podcast sind sich einig: Bewusstes Atmen beeinflusst sowohl unsere körperliche als auch geistige Gesundheit auf mehreren Ebenen.  Eine Folge für alle, die verstehen wollen, wie Atmung funktioniert – und wie man sie sinnvoll nutzt.

In this episode, I sit down with respiratory and sleep scientist Martin McPhilimey to take a deep dive into breathing, CO₂ regulation, and how they actually impact performance, stress, and sleep. We get into why respiratory physiology is way more complex than most people think, how his clinical and research background shaped his approach, and why breathwork exploded during COVID with names like Wim Hof and James Nestor. From there, we dig into allostatic load and why piling on high-stress practices—like aggressive hyperventilation or cold exposure—can backfire if you're already running hot. We also talk about the difference between actually relaxing your system versus just dissociating from it. We cover how inspiratory muscle training can improve performance and recovery, why respiratory rate is one of the most sensitive markers of stress, and question some common ideas, such as “CO₂ tolerance.” We also touch on the risks and limited data around inhaled CO₂ therapies and what actually makes sense to apply in the real world.

The autonomic nervous system was supposed to be beyond your control, medicine said so for decades. Wim Hof proved them wrong, and the data is now published in some of the most prestigious peer-reviewed journals on the planet. In this episode, I'm with the “Iceman” to unpack how breathwork triggers a respiratory alkalosis that activates the adrenal axis, suppresses cytokine storms, and enhances glymphatic brain waste clearance by up to 800%!

What does it feel like when your body starts moving before your mind has any idea why?For Mike Maher, the answer came in the basement of a hotel in Poland — lights off, a room full of strangers, thirty rhythmic breaths — and then tears, trembling, and a release he couldn't explain. That single session with Wim Hof lit a fire that eventually became the Take a Deep Breath YouTube channel, one of the largest breathwork communities on the planet, and a decade-long exploration into what breath can actually do for the human nervous system.In this episode, Alex sits down with Mike for a wide-ranging conversation about breathwork as a complete system — not a single technique, but a full toolkit for nervous system regulation. Together they trace Mike's journey from stressed corporate professional to one of the field's most trusted educators, exploring his RESET framework, what he learned from training breath holds underwater with the world record holder, the 90-day CO2 documentary he's launching, and why the simplest ancestral practices — bare feet on soil, morning light, quiet air — might carry more physiological weight than any sophisticated technique. And along the way, they wander into the territory closest to home for the NI community: the intersection of breathwork and TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) — and what happens when the body starts tremoring during a breath session and you finally stop fighting it. If you've ever wondered how breathwork and TRE relate, or felt both practices pulling toward the same place in the body, this conversation is for you.Mike Maher is a breathwork coach, educator, and content creator who spent 12 years in the corporate world before a sequence of transformational experiences — a Wim Hof retreat, Tony Robbins events, and walking the Camino de Santiago — set him on a different path. Drawing on a background in video production and storytelling, he built the Take A Deep Breath YouTube channel into one of the largest breathwork platforms in the world, with 300,000+ subscribers and 42 million views. His podcast has featured deep conversations with James Nestor, Patrick McKeown, Dr. Belisa Vranich, and many others at the frontier of breathing, trauma, and performance. He works with clients one-on-one, leads group programs, and teaches a full-spectrum approach that blends functional technique with nervous system science and genuine embodied practice. Mike is also currently a student in the Neurogenic Integration TRE Certification program, deepening his understanding of how neurogenic tremoring and breathwork can work together as complementary pathways to nervous system regulation.⏱ KEY HIGHLIGHTS00:00 — Welcome & Introductions03:30 — Mike's Origin Story: Steve Jobs, Joe Rogan & the Road to Wim Hof06:00 — The Poland Retreat: Tears, Trembling & an Unexplained Release08:00 — When Wim Hof Was Making the Anxiety Worse11:00 — The Podcast as Education: James Nestor, Patrick McKeown & Learning from the Best13:00 — The RESET Framework: A Full Map of Breathwork in Five Categories19:00 — Mike's Personal Learning Curve: From Oxygen Advantage to Rebirthing in a Hot Tub22:00 — A Full Rebirthing Experience in Glastonbury26:00 — Breath Holds, Willpower & Training with the World Record Holder28:00 — The 90-Day CO2 Therapy Documentary: What Mike Is Testing & Why33:00 — Ancestral Living: Earthing, Light Exposure & Things Too Simple to Ignore40:00 — Discovering Neurogenic Tremoring44:00 — Where Breathwork and TRE

Wim Hof has pushed the limits of the human body: running marathons in freezing temperatures, climbing Everest in shorts, and enduring nearly two hours submerged in ice. After decades of extreme feats, he realized the greatest challenge wasn't physical, but internal... Following personal tragedy, Wim turned inward, using breathwork and cold exposure to heal and regain control of his mind and body. In this episode from the Align Podcast, Wim Hof shares his best practices for strengthening resilience, regulating the nervous system, and helping anyone reconnect to their innate capacity for health and vitality.

New York YouTube VideoLast year I released an episode of The Good Glow with some very powerful women, and now, it's over to the men, with a surprise right at the end. I hope you love it.Thank you Boyne Valley Honey for supporting The Good Glow

Wim Hof joins me to explore the deeper story behind his work, from profound personal loss to discovering a direct path back into the body through breath and cold exposure. We unpack how modern life pulls us out of feeling and into constant mental noise, and how reconnecting with the breath can bring us back into a state of presence, strength, and clarity. Wim shares how a single moment stepping into freezing water at 17 opened something fundamental within him, quieting the mind and reconnecting him to his heart.In this conversation, we explore the science behind his methods and what it means to consciously influence the nervous system and immune response. Wim explains how breathwork can reduce inflammation, strengthen the body, and restore balance, and why this ability is not unique to him but available to anyone willing to practice. This episode is an invitation to reclaim autonomy over your body and mind, and to remember a deeper connection to nature that modern life often pulls us away from.Try Function Health and get $25 off your membership at https://www.functionhealth.com/knowthyselfTry LMNT & get a free sample pack https://drinkLMNT.com/KnowThyselfVisit https://www.wimhofmethod.com to learn more about the Wim Hof Method and its benefits.To start practicing the method, download the Wim Hof Method app (iOS or Android).For a free introductory Wim Hof Method Mini Class, sign up at https://www.wimhofmethod.com/free-mini-classAndré's Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro01:27 A Life Shaped by Purpose04:00 The Science of Breath and Inflammation09:20 Music, Cold, and the Opening of the Heart12:31 Becoming a Missionary for Human Healing22:10 Freedom, Autonomy, and the Power Within25:15 Trust as the True Superpower29:52 Ad: Function Health31:04 The Years of Searching, Love, and Loss37:16 Grief, Rage, and the Call to Change the World47:14 It's Time for the Soul52:10 Returning to the Body Through Breath and Cold53:31 Ad: LMNT54:39 The Wim Hof Method in Practice1:07:17 What the Cold Really Teaches1:10:33 A Message for Humanity1:12:45 Choosing Stress Before Stress Chooses You1:19:11 The Forgotten Power of the Breath1:24:08 Consciousness, Soul, and the Search for Meaning1:33:18 Becoming an Agent of Change___________Episode Resources: https://www.wimhofmethod.comhttps://www.instagram.com/iceman_hofhttps://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

He spent 24 years teaching teenagers how to move, but it was learning how to breathe that changed his life.In this episode, Dirk Hamelijnck shares why he left the familiar structure of the Dutch school system and what brought him to Bali. He talks about the turning point that pushed him onto a new path, the intense practices that first opened the door, and why he now cares more about nuance than hype in breathwork.You will hear how he approaches breathwork with three clear values, why “safe space” is not just a nice phrase, and what most people misunderstand about breathwork before they ever try it. If you are curious about breath as a tool for grounding, learning, and real change, this conversation will make you want to listen all the way through.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Opening request00:00:29 Welcome and guest intro00:01:29 Roots and family00:01:59 Leaving the Dutch school system00:03:15 Joy of learning again00:03:42 Outdoor instructor beginnings00:04:48 First steps into yoga and breath00:05:30 Discovering Wim Hof00:06:22 Training experience and cold exposure00:09:11 Why breathwork needs nuance00:09:50 From personal practice to teaching00:11:14 Breathwork with high school students00:12:20 Influential teacher figures00:13:31 Three words for his teaching style00:19:25 What he brings to classes00:21:03 What breathwork really is00:23:23 Connecting breath and yoga00:27:00 What he hopes people leave with00:28:22 What he is refining now00:29:46 Gratitude and closingMentions & Resources:Michael Henri's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelyoga.pt/ Dirk Hamelijnck's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dirkhamelijnck/The IN Movement Instagram: https://www.instagram/com/the_in_movement/Wim HofCaspar van der MeulenTags: The In Movement, breathwork, nervous system, safety, somatic awareness, embodiment, pranayama, mindfulness, education, cold exposure, Wim Hof method, personal growth, healing, Bali

Gabriel Arroyo es baterista, ingeniero industrial y pulmonauta. Ha estudiado breathwork con referentes como Wim Hof, Patrick McKeown, Dan Brulé y Kasper Van Der Meulen. También cuenta con formación en Somatic Experiencing y es divulgador de las 5 Leyes Biológicas.Actualmente imparte cursos, talleres y certificaciones enfocados en breathwork y en la regulación de la ansiedad.En este episodio hablamos de ansiedad, pero no desde el lugar habitual. Partimos de una pregunta incómoda: ¿y si la ansiedad no está realmente en la mente, sino en el cuerpo? A lo largo de la conversación exploramos cómo el sistema nervioso guarda experiencias que muchasveces no sabemos nombrar, qué significa trabajar desde lo somático y por qué muchas soluciones rápidas del mundo del bienestar pueden quedarse en la superficie. También hablamos de adicciones, de vulnerabilidad, de lo delicado que es sostener espacios de sanacióny de la tensión constante entre lo que promete el mercado del wellness y lo que realmente transforma a una persona. Al final, la conversación vuelve a algo mucho más simple: respirar, reír, llorar y recordar cómo se siente estar vivo.Como siempre, tus comentarios son muy valiosos para mí. Gracias por compartir y co-crear conmigo mejores preguntas. Con cariño,Victor____Más contenido en:

Rob welcomes Dr. Nick Heath—an atmospheric scientist living with type 1 diabetes for 27+ years and known online as “The Breathing Diabetic”—to explore how breathing can become a practical lever for living well with diabetes. Nick shares his diagnosis at age 11 and how his “second diagnosis” moment came in his mid-20s when nutrition changes improved his control and opened his mindset to other tools within his control. That curiosity eventually led him into breathwork, first through Wim Hof and then more deeply through Patrick McKeown's The Oxygen Advantage, where the science around nasal breathing, slower breathing, and CO₂ tolerance clicked—followed by a noticeable improvement in his blood sugars after a few months of consistent practice. From there, the conversation gets tactical and evidence-driven: why breathing is uniquely powerful because it's both autonomic and voluntary, how airflow through the nose can influence brain activity and calm states, and how slow breathing can improve markers tied to autonomic function (like heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity) that are often reduced in people with diabetes. Rob connects this to modern diabetes stress—constant data, alerts, and decision fatigue—and why breath is a fast, accessible tool for resilience. Nick addresses the “woo vs. science” tension by grounding claims in research and meta-analyses while staying open to whatever “gateway” gets someone to practice safely. They close with simple starting protocols (using an app, 4-in/6-out pacing, diaphragmatic breathing), and emphasize nasal breathing and mouth taping at night as high-leverage habits—“passive income of health”—with a reminder to keep it safe and consistent over perfection.

This is my final report on Wim Hof—the charismatic ice-guru who exposed me to the magic of breathwork and cold exposure. Since I first met Hof in 2013 he has become increasingly erratic and even dangerous. Today a new edition of my New York Times bestselling book What Doesn't Kill Us is officially for sale and I'd love you to pick up a copy or download the audiobook on Audible. (Incidentally, if you already have a copy from Audible you can just re-download the book to access the new files for free).I'm setting the record straight about Hof because of the prominent endorsements I gave him over the course of a decade. I still believe in the transformative power of various environmental exposure and breathwork regimens, it's just that Wim can no longer be the face of the movement. Over the last two years I've collected archival footage of Hof, interviewed dozens of people whose family members' died following Wim's instructions and endured near-constant abuse from his cult-like devotees who would rather call me “Judas” in the pantheon of Hof than look at the evidence with clear eyes. The video I'm putting out today collects the most important pieces of Hof's story that ultimately made me change my mind about him.Official Book Page: https://www.scottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usAudible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B01N5NNZF8/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-077506&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_077506_rh_usAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/What-Doesnt-Kill-Environmental-Conditioning/dp/1635652413/?tag=Foxtopus-20Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/

In this episode of Take a Breath, I'm joined by Wendy Heine — certified Wim Hof instructor, breathwork coach and yoga teacher.Wendy shares her journey from avoiding the cold completely to embracing it as a powerful tool for healing, particularly following her cancer diagnosis in 2021.We explore both the science and the nervous system side of cold exposure — what's actually happening in the body, why it can lift mood and energy so quickly, and how breathwork completely changes your experience of stepping into discomfort.This isn't about bravado. It's not about forcing yourself into freezing water. It's about intention, regulation, and building resilience in a calm, grounded way.Inside this conversation, we explore:Why cold water can lift mood, sharpen focus and boost energyHow long is long enough to trigger the key physiological benefitsWhat “cold enough” really means (and why it doesn't need to be extreme)How to use your breath to stay calm and in controlWhy cold exposure is a form of positive stress that can strengthen both body and mind when approached safelyIf you've been curious about cold showers or sea dips but feel hesitant, this episode will help you understand how to approach it in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming.It's about learning to stay steady — even when things feel uncomfortable — and taking that steadiness back into everyday life.To connect with Wendy, go to: https://www.instagram.com/longevitylifestylecoach/Download 15 Breaths to Calm Anxiety - a FREE 5 minute audio to calm you down in real time.

Ludovic Leroux, coach et expert en régulation du système nerveux.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de la différence cruciale entre savoir et intégrer. J'ai questionné Ludovic sur les chemins concrets d'incarnation du développement personnel, en partant de sa vision de sportif : pourquoi est-ce que tant de gens connaissent les outils… sans jamais les utiliser ?Il explique avec clarté et bienveillance les 4 voies d'accès au système nerveux, en montrant que le retour au calme et à la présence n'est pas un luxe spirituel, mais une hygiène quotidienne, aussi concrète que de se brosser les dents.Un moment fort, dense et utile — à écouter, et surtout à pratiquer.Citations marquantes« La vraie question, ce n'est pas “est-ce que tu sais ?”, mais “est-ce que tu le fais ?” »« Utiliser la respiration seulement quand ça ne va pas, c'est comme s'entraîner la veille d'une compétition. »« Notre système nerveux ne fait pas la différence entre le réel et l'imaginaire. »« Trois soupirs intentionnels suffisent parfois à retrouver un état de calme. »« La douche froide, c'est une agression choisie pour reprendre le contrôle. »Idées centrales discutées (Big Ideas)

What if you could train your body to stay calm under pressure the same way Navy SEALs do? In this conversation with Level 3 Wim Hof Method instructor Brandon Powell, we explore the three-pillar system of breath work, cold exposure, and mindset training that elite athletes and military operators use to control their stress response and perform when it matters most.You'll discover how cold exposure triggers a 500% dopamine boost, why five breaths can shift you from panic to calm, and the science-backed protocols you can start today with nothing more than a cold shower and your breath. This is about building resilience from the inside out—training your nervous system to become your competitive advantage rather than your limitation.

Cravings don't wait for perfect conditions, so we need plans that work in real life. I sit down with coach Jason Lyle to unpack a grounded, nontraditional approach to addiction treatment that starts with the body and rewires the brain: cold water immersion, breath work, meditation, and yoga. This is recovery as nervous system training—practical tools that widen the gap between urge and action and put your prefrontal cortex back in the driver's seat.Jason shares his path from ministry through sex addiction and despair to a repeatable method that helps men regulate first, then choose. We break down the science in plain language: why ice baths create a safe, high‑intensity rehearsal for impulse control; how Wim Hof‑style breathing builds micro‑seconds of space during cravings; and how a five‑minute, no‑frills meditation practice teaches you to see thoughts and let them go. We also show where yoga fits in—not acrobatics, but simple positions that let the body signal the brain and release tension before it becomes a decision you regret.Across the hour, we map a daily stack that takes 20–30 minutes and delivers fast results, plus what to expect at the two‑month plateau when the “new normal” feels unfamiliar. You'll learn the three pillars Jason uses—honesty, curiosity, and self‑love—along with on‑demand regulation moves: a ten‑second breath reset, when to grab a cold shower, and why hard exercise can dump stress hormones when grounding isn't enough. We also talk identity shifts, rewriting shame narratives with simple journaling and affirmations, and how small choices compound into a life you actually want to defend.If you're a clinician, coach, or anyone navigating addiction, this conversation offers concrete steps and clear language to share with patients and peers. Explore Jason's resources at thesacredgrit.com and his Sacred Grit Podcast for guided practices. If this resonated, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with someone who could use a stronger toolkit for recovery. Your next calm breath might be the start of a different day.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

You know about breath work. You know about cold exposure. It's a thing all the major "influencers" tell you to do. I had some skepticism myself and that's why I wanted to have this man, the original cold exposure and breath work guy on himself, Wim Hof! He is a man who has redefined the limits of the human mind and body. Known globally as The Iceman, Wim Hof has shown millions of people how to take control of their physiology through breath, cold exposure, and mindset. From climbing mountains in nothing but shorts to teaching everyday men how to regulate stress, build resilience, and reconnect with their primal strength, Wim's work challenges everything we think we know about comfort, health, and human potential. Today, we're talking about cold, breath, discipline, and what it really means to return to our factory settings as men.

"I'm not afraid to die. I'm afraid not to live." What if everything you've been told about your limits… was a lie? In this rare, raw, and unfiltered conversation, Kute Blackson sits down with the legendary Wim Hof—also known as The Iceman—to explore the true potential of the human spirit. Wim doesn't speak from theory. He speaks from fire-tested experience: plunging into frozen waters, scaling mountains in shorts, and surviving the loss of his beloved wife while raising four children alone. But more than his feats, it's what those experiences unlocked in him and what they can unlock in you, that makes this episode a must-listen. This isn't about breathwork.It's not about cold therapy. It's about coming home to your own inner power. Whether you're facing physical pain, emotional grief, or just feel disconnected from your inner fire, this conversation will remind you: there is a wild, unbreakable intelligence in your body, and it knows the way home.   Timestamps (00:00:54) – Why this rare Wim Hof interview is being shared now.

Send us a textEn esta sesión me acompaña JP Álvarez, “El Señor de los Hielos”, el primer instructor oficial del método Wim Hof en México, y alguien que ha enseñado a miles de personas a usar el frío, la respiración y la incomodidad como entrenamiento mental y físico. Hablamos de algo que me voló la cabeza: la hormesis, ese “estrés controlado” que, en la dosis correcta, te hace más resistente, más claro, más presente.Pero lo más importante no es si te metes a los hielos, si haces ayunos o si te avientas al sauna. Lo verdaderamente poderoso es esto: entrenar tu capacidad de sentirte cómodo con lo incómodo. Porque si no desarrollas esa habilidad, cuando llegue la presión real —la presentación, la venta, la decisión difícil, la conversación incómoda— te va a dominar a ti. Y no al revés.

"When I was doing keto, a salad would spike my blood glucose. And this is because of the fat. There was so much saturated fat that my glucose tolerance was diminished. I went from keto to the opposite, the most opposite diet you could ever have: a plant-based diet. My insulin requirements started to come down very fast. I got down to an all-time low." Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death. It causes kidney failure, lower-limb amputations, and blindness in severe cases. As a person with diabetes, keeping your blood sugar levels within the range recommended by your doctor can be exasperating. That's because many things make your blood sugar levels fluctuate, sometimes unexpectedly. So how does someone with diabetes live a joyful and purposeful life? Let's find out from today's guest, Drew Harrisberg. Drew is an exercise physiologist, diabetes educator, sports scientist, and most importantly – a happy and healthy guy thriving with type 1 diabetes. His background as a health professional and his triumph with managing diabetes has ignited a passion for sharing everything he knows to inspire, empower and enable people to thrive with Diabetes rather than simply live with it. Drew's Daily Dose is his way of empowering people to take control of their health to live a fuller, happier, and healthier life. What we discuss in this episode:  Type 1 vs. Type 2 Diabetes – How do they differ? The leading cause of insulin resistance and how it affects the body Why is it unhealthy to have too much insulin in the body? Drew talks about the time he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and how it impacted his life  How does someone get diabetes, and what is it like living with it? Drew explains how exercise and diet help manage and control diabetes Keto, Paleo, Plant-Based – Which diets are beneficial for people with diabetes, and why Drew opt to stick with the plant-based diet? What does Drew eat on a regular day to support his body's needs as a person with diabetes and an athlete? What are the benefits of intermittent fasting to someone with diabetes? Drew walks us through his Five Pillars of Health and how he lives a joy-filled life. Drew debunks a few Diabetes MYTHS! Why Drew enjoys swimming in cold ocean water using the Wim Hof breathing technique Drew happily talks about his funny talking dog DENNIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGQEBtq5fQM There's a lot more in store for Drew as he pursues his passion for singing and songwriting.

Holotropic Breathwork sits at the center of this wide ranging conversation between Psychedelics Today co-founders Joe Moore and Kyle Buller. Drawing from decades of personal practice and assorted types of breathwork facilitation, they explore how breathwork methods from the Grof lineage including Dreamshadow Breathwork can prepare people for psychedelic work, support difficult journeys, and deepen integration over time. Kyle shares how his near death experience, somatic training, and breathwork facilitation shaped this new course on breathwork foundations, while Joe reflects on how reading Dr Stanislav Grof and years of experience in Holotropic Breathwork changed how he approaches psychedelics. Early Themes: Roots, Lineages, and First Encounters The episode opens with how each of them first found breathwork. Joe discovered Grof's writing in college, then traveled to Dreamshadow workshops long before he worked seriously with psychedelics. Kyle came to Holotropic style breathwork while studying transpersonal psychology at Burlington College, arriving as a skeptic who assumed people were exaggerating until his first session opened into a full psychedelic level process. They trace the roots of breathwork in modern psychology back to Wilhelm Reich, character armor, and early somatic approaches, then follow that thread into Grof's work and later branches. Joe and Kyle map out the different schools that emerged, including Grof Transpersonal Training, Grof Legacy Training, and Dreamshadow, and explain why the term "breathwork" has become a huge umbrella that covers everything from Wim Hof to short online sessions that are not actually Holotropic Breathwork. Core Insights: Breath, Nervous System, and Working the Edges In the middle of the episode they move into what this new foundations course actually covers and why it matters now. Rather than promising quick fixes, Kyle frames breath as a flexible tool for: Preparation before psychedelic sessions Navigation during intense or destabilizing moments Integration and nervous system support afterward They discuss window of tolerance, fight flight freeze responses, and how fast, deep breathing can open powerful experiences but also risk overwhelm if there is no somatic literacy. Kyle shares a vivid story from a ketamine training where his near death trauma was reactivated and how simple breath awareness, slow belly breathing, and body based skills kept him from panicking or fleeing. Throughout, they return to a key point: Holotropic Breathwork and related practices can restore agency. The breather chooses when to intensify, when to slow down, and how far to go, which can be deeply reparative for people whose trauma involved a loss of control. Later Discussion and Takeaways: Holotropic Breathwork as Foundation, Not Shortcut Later in the conversation, Joe and Kyle caution against "keeping up with the Joneses" in psychedelic culture. They talk about people chasing ever bigger doses, accruing trauma, and then needing years of therapy to sort it out. Breathwork, including Holotropic Breathwork in a well held group setting, is offered as a slower, more grounded way to explore non ordinary states while building skills that transfer into medicine work. They outline the core components of Grof lineage breathwork: intensified breathing, evocative music, focused body support, expressive art, and group sharing in a safe container. Joe highlights how group process, mandala drawing, and simply being witnessed can be as healing as the inner journey itself. They also flag practical next steps: Kyle's self paced breathwork foundations course at the Psychedelic Education Center, upcoming live online sessions, and in person weekend workshops in places like Breckenridge. Frequently Asked Questions What is Holotropic Breathwork? Holotropic Breathwork is a structured group process developed by Stan and Christina Grof that uses accelerated breathing, evocative music, supportive bodywork, art, and integration sharing to access non ordinary states of consciousness without substances. Is Holotropic Breathwork as intense as psychedelics? For some people, yes. Joe and Kyle both describe Holotropic Breathwork sessions that matched the depth of powerful LSD or ayahuasca journeys, while also noting that some sessions are quiet, restful, and focused on simple nervous system regulation. Can I do Holotropic Breathwork alone at home? They strongly suggest caution. Gentle breath practices can be explored solo, but Holotropic Breathwork as taught in the Grof lineages is designed for a trained facilitation team and a group container to reduce risk and support intense emotional or somatic processes. How does Holotropic Breathwork help with psychedelic preparation and integration? Breathwork helps people learn their own nervous system, practice staying with difficult material, and build trust in inner process. These skills often translate into more resilience, flexibility, and agency before, during, and after psychedelic sessions. Is Holotropic Breathwork backed by research? Research on breathwork is growing, especially around heart rate variability, stress, and subjective mystical type experiences. Joe and Kyle emphasize that early studies suggest overlaps with psychedelic states, but they avoid framing Holotropic Breathwork as a cure and instead present it as a powerful tool within a broader healing path. In a culture that often treats psychedelics like quick fixes, this episode makes the case for slow foundations, embodied practice, and honest respect for the risks. By placing Holotropic Breathwork and the other Grof lineage breathwork practices inside a larger conversation about trauma, agency, and community, Joe and Kyle offer a grounded path for anyone who wants to explore non ordinary states in a safer, more skillful way.
