Depression and Anxiety | Wim Hof Method

Time: 0.149

My name is Luke O'Shea

Time: 1.78

And I'm from Melbourne, Australia.

Time: 6.7

I discovered Wim Hof in 2015

Time: 10.6

From the VICE documentary

Time: 12.5

Shortly after I downloaded the 10-week online course

Time: 16.04

And now I'm here.

Time: 18.88

What attracted me to Wim Hof it was

Time: 21.48

Who is this crazy guy doing all these amazing feats of endurance in the cold?

Time: 27.42

And then I started researching his story, you know, with his ex-wife

Time: 32.8

That really resonated with me.

Time: 34.7

I went through a pretty messy divorce

Time: 37.46

With two kids involved and I went down

Time: 40.62

Some wrong paths, with drug addiction and depression, anxiety

Time: 46.18

My health was suffering

Time: 48

My family relationships were suffering

Time: 50.14

Everything was, you know, collapsing before me

Time: 53.22

You know, with the Wim Hod Method that sort of turned everything around.

Time: 59.78

First time I tried the breathing experience

Time: 62.74

I never have felt like this for as long as I remember

Time: 67.02

I felt this calm and

Time: 69.86

Power and strength

Time: 71.84

Which I hadn't had for a very long time in my life, control.

Time: 76.74

The ice baths are my favourite!

Time: 79.3

It sounds crazy, but it really just gives me

Time: 83.38

Focus and strength

Time: 85

I get distracted very easily

Time: 87.32

From life and as soon as you're in the ice bath

Time: 90.32

You have no choice but

Time: 91.76

To really focus on your mind and being strong.

Time: 96.36

It gives me power like I've never had before!

Time: 100.98

The 10-week course was challenging at first.

Time: 104.2

I think as I got through the first week I just

Time: 106.7

You know, I got stronger and stronger, and I

Time: 108.9

I started to love the ice showers.

Time: 111.04

I started to love this part of my day where I'd put aside this time

Time: 115.92

I just have a renewed energy for life

Time: 117.92

Which was missing for a long time.

Time: 121.64

The Wim Hof Method influenced everything in my daily life.

Time: 125.44

I spend half an hour every morning doing the breathing

Time: 129.1

Doing push-ups, doing the stretching

Time: 132.64

And finishing it off with

Time: 134.88

An ice-cold shower.

Time: 136.56

Every day I'm ready to go.

Time: 138.18

I just want to go out and attack the day like I never have before.

Time: 141.38

I'm not scared of anything, I'm not scared of confrontation anymore.

Time: 144.78

Yeah, it's changed everything.

Time: 149.76

The Poland expedition has been probably

Time: 153.52

One of the greatest experiences in my life!

Time: 155.6

Just to be able to share my journey

Time: 158.9

With many other people who are on their own journeys

Time: 162.04

As part of this Wim Hof tribe

Time: 164.42

It's been amazing, you know

Time: 166.08

We all look after each other and to me when I'm off was the ultimate for me

Time: 169.8

Because I feel he saved my life!

Time: 174.54

If you haven't tried the Poland experience

Time: 176.98

I would recommend it 100%

Time: 179.28

You will find your tribe

Time: 181.58

And a new family

Time: 183.56

And yeah

Time: 184.96

I cannot recommend it any more!
