    47. The COLD Truth About Change — Your Breath Is The Key To Breaking Any Barrier. WIM HOF

    The legendary Iceman, Wim Hof, returns to The Icons to discuss his blueprint for reawakening the power of your mind, body, and soul. Hof, a global phenomenon who has shattered the limits of human potential, asserts that we are capable of much more than we think. In this interview with Tyler Waye, Hof explains his method, which uses breathing and cold exposure to regulate emotions and address issues like depression and inflammation. He recounts how he turned inward after the suicide of his wife and found that the cold "makes you shut up" and realize who you are. Through breathing, he says, you can change the body's biochemistry and release trauma.
