In today’s post, we will discuss what the Wim Hof method is, what research supports it, and potential issues with applying it to conditions like Parkinson’s.īefore we start: This post is notan endorsement of the Wim Hof method, but rather an exploration of the research that has been conducted on it. This is dangerous ground for a blogger to tread on, but in the interest of stimulating discussion (and possibly research), we shall do our best. There have been numerous requests to explore more readily applicable research, which could be useful for the Parkinson’s community to explore (for example, diet and exercise). And while the breadth of the research is exciting and encouraging, the average reader may feel distant to the results of those studies as the experimental drug being tested is still a long way from possible regulatory approval. In short, it takes something to make something.A regular theme of the SoPD website is the reviewing of novel phamarcological treatments that are being tested on models of Parkinson’s. It is only through grit and determination that the other pillars will stand. If there is one thing the method teaches, change takes more than a passing thought. In fact, the Wim Hof method claims to use cold therapy as a means of fat loss, fortifying immune systems, improving sleep quality, and more.Ĭommitment: Behind the other two pillars lies commitment. This is because the method uses a specific breathing process to help participants increase their oxygen levels, thereby helping them have more energy and less stress.Ĭold Therapy: This is the pillar that continues to turn heads however, it’s not all about world records.
Each pillar acts as one major part of the method as follows:īreathing: If you start researching Wim Hof, it won’t take long for you to find something about breathing.
Through the unique application of three pillars, the Wim Hof Method unlocks potential and boosts an individual’s immune responses. Though cold water and ice are a big part of his method, the ultimate goal goes far beyond dealing with freezing temperatures. The Wim Hof method is composed of several exercises geared towards releasing your full potential. Though Wim Hof and cold often come up hand-in-hand, there is a more significant reason for his accomplishments.
