Inflammation | Wim Hof Method
My name is Ben, I'm 24. I'm from Germany.
My parents are Indonesian Americans
But I live in London right now
I'm an actor, a full-time YouTuber, and I write stuff as well.
I found out about the Wim Hof Method probably like everyone else
I found it on Vice, on the documentary
And, I was at a time where I just came from a warm climate
I lived in a warm climate for the last six years
And the day I moved back to Europe I got ill immediately.
I've had inflammation. I've had an infection in my tonsils
So I checked out this website and I found Wim Hof Method
I immediately purchased the App, started breathing by myself
And it was only uphill from there.
Fully in!
Let it go!
It's all neurology.
And you are in command!
I've been doing it for three months by myself.
I'm actually friends with one of the instructors. We live next door to each other
So I've been practicing for 3 months in total, and this is my first workshop with Wim.
I learned incredible amounts of information with this workshop.
Today I learned insane amounts of information.
There was so much going on
They taught you so much!
And there are a lot of things that I learned but
Most of all, that this is the time I'm going to stop limiting myself
This is the last time I'm gonna limit myself and my physical capabilities. Forever!
I was a little skeptical.
I've been doing the breathing for 3 months. It's been giving me various benefits
But I've never really gotten healthy.
I took a couple of antibiotics last week and I still didn't recover from it.
I just asked Wim
What could I possibly do to combat this?
So he invited me over to stage, which was super cool!
He made me breathe 40 times
And then I suddenly pulled off 60 push-ups, which was ridiculous.
I've never done 60 push-ups ever!
And go!
1, 2, 3, 4
15, 16, 17,
48, 49, 50!
After the push-ups with Wim, I felt incredibly high.
I felt like I was on a little cloud.
I was a little tunnel visioned. Maybe I am still a little bit now.
This was like five minutes ago.
I'm gonna incorporate this my daily for sure.
I'm gonna do the breathing every day.
I feel cold showers just wake me up.
I feel like I'm a champion straight up from the get-go
I wake up in the morning, I breathe, I feel aware, I feel strong
And I'll keep on doing this for everything I think!
Easy, easy!
I would recommend to people that you should keep an open mind towards everything in life
But especially that things that involve your body
And things that are so primal and so basic
I think everyone should have an open mind about what happens to your body
And how you can heal yourself from the inside
Without any other influence from other people.
So always keep an open mind
And truly believe in yourself!
