Wim Hof is a Dutch extreme athlete, author, and speaker known for his ability to withstand extreme cold and his development of the Wim Hof Method, which combines breathwork, cold exposure, and meditation. He has set multiple world records, including running a half marathon barefoot on ice and climbing part of Mount Everest in only shorts. His method is designed to improve resilience, boost the immune system, and enhance mental and physical performance.

Hof has worked with scientists to study the physiological effects of his techniques, demonstrating that controlled breathing and cold exposure can influence the autonomic nervous system and reduce inflammation. His teachings have gained a global following, with people using his method for stress management, athletic performance, and overall well-being. He regularly leads workshops and online training sessions to teach others how to harness their inner strength.
