“Wim Hof saved my life.” - Naudi Aguilar
Well, my name is Naudi Aguilar.
I've been training for like the last ten years.
I've spent a lot of time working with several different types of people.
People who've had movement impairments,
People who've had pain in their body,
Professional athletes.
I've gone all across the board with the people that I've worked with.
I'm still figuring more things out as I go along.
It's a science, and things continue to keep evolving, and that's generally what I am.
I'm trying to see myself as a human behavioural scientist, from the brain all the way through the body.
Wim was a piece of the puzzle, a very big part of the puzzle.
I knew as soon as I saw him on an interview with Joe Rogan.
Then he started talking about the autonomic nervous system, and that he finally cracked the code.
I was like all right 'if you crack the code on this, I want to find out what it is'.
I started practicing it, and I felt it immediately.
And I knew something was very different about my physiology.
I'm very much into my body.
I wouldn't have discovered the things even what I have in my career
Unless I was somewhat into my body, and into my own mechanisms in my own behaviours.
Every human being will adapt to its environment.
If you take a human being and you put her in a dog kennel
It will walk like a dog, and it will bark like a dog
It will communicate itself like a dog.
Its body language will be that just of a dog.
If you are put in a cage
Where you're having to sit at a desk doing this for extended periods of time
If you're constantly under stress, if you're driving, if you're sitting
You're doing things that are counter to our biological routes.
We're completely disconnected from that.
It's completely clear.
This is not pseudoscience, this is hard science.
We are making adaptations to this, and to this culture.
When I tell somebody that they need to try Wim Hof
I'm telling them that that they need to disassociate
those patterns that they have ingrained into their body.
If you ingrain these types of
Dysfunctions into yourself
And you never do anything to release those problems, or do anything to counteract them
Illness and poor function with your body are inevitable.
We need to get back to our connections with nature.
There's no denying it.
If you adapt to being in trees and things like that
And you adapt to
Connecting yourself with natural law and you respect natural law
You're going to get all the advantages that come with that, whether it's strength
Energy, all those types of things.
Mobility, everything that comes along with that
And the Wim Hof Method, in terms of how I'm seeing it
It works hand in hand with the system that I'm trying to employ, to decondition people .
Your physiology needs a reset. It needs to get kicked on.
The 10-week program is something I would recommend for everybody!
The value you're going to get is unbelievable.
I forgot what I paid, but it was very very...
I mean for the price it was very cheap, for the value you get.
I mean, for the sake of rebooting your physiology in a way that you will never do with any other system
You can't put a price on that, so
From my perception of it it's a...
That 10-week program definitely was amazing.
I went through a great deal of stress in the last few years, building this company 'Functional Patterns'
And you know, you work your 16-18 hours a day, almost 365
Every single day, and you're working, working, working
And I feel like I did some damage to myself trying to do this
And so, for Wim it's like his system, he's...
At least even just a breathing in the cold immersions alone
They manage to help undo some of that crap that I did to myself.
I put myself through a lot of punishment on myself
Physiologically, stress-wise, emotionally
A lot of stuff, and the fact that he managed to do this, I mean, he saved me.
He pretty much saved my life!
So there's only
I mean, if you tell somebody that and
I mean, I don't know if you could pay any bigger respect
So, I don't think I need to really say anything else if I say you saved my life
And, uh, I mean
That's as good as it gets.
So thanks Wim!
I'm ultimately grateful!
