Joe Rogan Experience #865 - Wim Hof

Jamie's too hot in here. Turn the A.C. up. Crank that bitch. Get it down to
zero.
No, I'm just kidding. My man. What's happening, baby? Welcome back.
You brought notes. Yeah, just a couple of notes. I don't want to repeat myself
since the last time.
Oh, you're the only guest ever in the history of this podcast that has brought
notes to make sure they don't repeat themselves.
Yes, this is the first time I do a podcast this like or any other interview. I
never go programmed or premeditated or prepared whatsoever.
Just jump in. But I think this is much more important. It's Joe Rogan, man.
You're the Iceman, man.
Yes, and you're a big window. And I'm still on the mission trying to get it out
to everybody that we are able to do so much more.
And, you know, it's all natural what we do. So there is no money attached to it.
And it's a struggle to get it out there. But we get more and more scientific
evidence piling up. And I'm here to present new insights.
Well, I think that you're winning the struggle for sure. Because I hear about
you all the time. I hear about you all the time from people that have heard
about you from my podcast and people that say, do you know this guy? And I say,
yeah, he's been on my podcast. I know him.
So the message is getting out 100%.
Wow. And that's a bio parameter for me. Thanks for sharing that. Do you feel it
though? Don't you? Oh, yeah. You must, right?
This morning I was talking to Tony Robbins. Oh, shit. And he wants to like
cooperate. Oh, shit. Yeah. And now I'm Joe with Joe again. I mean, those are
big names.
I used to listen to Tony Robbins tapes when I was 20 or 21 when I was a
struggling stand-up comedian. I used to listen to his, what was it called? Unlimited
Power? Is that what it was? It was an audio cassette.
And I listened to one of those old school Walkman thing. Those big chunky
things. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And yeah, he's got his goal, charity, to
get 100 million meals together this year. And I'm going to help him there.
Oh, that's great. What is he doing to that? Just raising money and awareness?
Raising money and give a billionaires, some very powerful people who have very
good time insights in their own stressful lives. And I'm in there to teach them
how to handle stress hormone at the deepest in the brain as in the body.
Beautiful. You know, I had a friend of mine who was trying to do a parody on
Tony Robbins, so he went and researched him. And he was going to listen to some
of his recordings, listen to some of his speeches.
And his goal was to find what's stupid about it. And then he started going, God
damn, this guy's onto something. Was it Callen? Do you remember who it was?
They were talking about it in here. I believe it was Callen. I think he was
researching him for something that he was doing.
And then along the way, he started realizing, like, this guy's fucking legit.
But he's one of the rare ones. Like, almost everyone that's, like, a
professional motivator, then you go behind.
You go, okay, well, what do you do? You know, like, what do you do? You just
motivate people? Have you done anything? Like, you're telling people they can
go do things, but what the fuck have you done?
What have you done, sir? And most of them, they don't do shit. You know, they
just get together with big seminars and tell people they can do it. You can do
it. Like, fuck, I can do it now.
But you never go, hey, man, what have you done? You, on the other hand. You've
done a lot of shit. See, it's one thing. When people say, well, that Iceman
Hoff guy, is he legit? I'm like, bitch, do you have Wikipedia? Do you Google?
We love the life. And coming January, we're going to do Kilimanjaro again in 24
hours.
Yeah, don't say we. Man, you already offered that up to me. It's not fucking
happening.
You should, you should.
I'm not going to Kilimanjaro.
Hey, man, Kilimanjaro. It is almost, you know.
I'll be rooting you on from afar, from Los Angeles, while watching television.
I'll be live tweeting it.
Yeah, right on, right on. We are doing, yeah, yeah, scientific research and
show that the red cell generation can be accelerated.
If it is so, in those circumstances, then science has to update itself.
What are the circumstances where their cells can be regenerated?
It's like in 24 hours, the body is not able to adapt to the circumstances where
there is a lack of oxygen.
It is half the oxygen and less. And we go to...
What's the altitude on Kilimanjaro?
It's like 20,000 feet at the top.
So at, say, 15,000 feet, the acclimatization, the adaptation is not as fast in
human bodies.
Now, we found this breathing techniques and using the mind, and that enables us
to accelerate what science is thinking,
that it is arranged autonomically.
So outside of our will, and we cannot interfere. We cannot intervene.
So we will show that with like 30 people.
By the way, past January, I did it with a person, 76 years old, without prior
mountaineering experience.
And he did it in 44 hours, 76.
Wow.
That's a robust 76-year-old.
He's dead now, but he was a good guy while he lasted.
Yes.
Scandal burned brightly for the last couple of days.
His old life is dead.
He really transformed, man.
So let me ask you this.
So the standard model of what someone can do as far as how much red blood cells
they can generate is observed,
and they thought that it was at 15,000 feet.
It became too difficult.
But you've shown that with your exercises and when your deep breathing
techniques, that you can actually accelerate red blood cell count consciously,
or at least not consciously, through conscious action.
Conscious action using the breath.
And what techniques are you using the same?
What we did last time, but then adapted to while you are walking.
And when, you know, first sign of AMS, lack of oxygen in the head, means
headache.
AMS is acute mountain sickness.
And the first sign is headache, and that means a lack of oxygen inside the
brain.
Normally, we are not able to get oxygen then, at that moment, inside the brain
to equal the balance, the disbalance, the lack of oxygen.
And I've learned just to do that.
So we tackle the problem and keep on able to perform in the extreme conditions
even.
So through this technique of taking these enormous deep breaths, letting some
of it out, and then trying to refill,
and then letting some of it out, trying to refill, letting some of it out.
Yes.
And then you're forcing your body to, you're forcing your lungs to constantly
carry air.
Yes.
That it is.
We use the lungs as the passageway, but it gets into the lymphatic system.
It gets into the tissue.
You know what we just found with the university in Germany?
They found out that the devices that show that we have 100% blood saturation,
oxygen in the blood, is not 100%.
We go more.
They found it out for the first time.
So what they thought was 100% blood saturation, there's actually a higher level
above that?
Yes.
And that's what I always said, but now it's like proven.
So what they thought was 100% blood saturation was just based on what people
normally do with no extra techniques involved, right?
Is that what it is?
Absolutely.
Based on that, they made devices and then 100% saturation in the blood is 100%
and then you should be like sane.
But now we got this professor, a biochemical professor, whatever his name is,
Mesquite, doesn't matter, Professor Mesquite.
Give him a name, fuck it.
Calm Oak.
Like Mosquito.
What a name, Professor Mosquito.
Yeah, Professor Fly, Professor Mosquito.
This is a biochemical professor and he tells, looking at the results, what you
have produced with the university,
regarding to the immune system and influencing into the autonomic nervous
system,
we can say you guys have found a way to tap into the tissue, into the lymphatic
system
and take away the acidity over there.
And the storage capacity of the lymphatic system, that deeper level than the
blood,
is actually a storage capacity to have chemistry, which is wrong, stored up
over there
so it doesn't mess with the rest of the physiology to maintain functionality.
But in time, you got to deal with it.
It's like garbage.
And that garbage, we could not tap into that.
I'm so confused.
So what is that garbage?
The garbage is wrong chemistry, like an acidic state of chemistry in the lymphatic
system as well.
Do they know what that, I mean, have they isolated that?
Is that an actual compound?
Can they tell you what it is that they're monitoring?
Yes.
It's actually that acidity, chronically there, not being dealt with.
This professor, my biomedical professor, tells us that 95% of the autoimmune
diseases are caused because of it.
So 95% of autoimmune diseases are caused by some sort of acidity?
A long time presence of acidity not being dealt with will deal with you in the
end and deregulate, say, the chemistry in the rest of the body, the biochemical
processes.
Actually, this is a quite logical, but we, and he knew that, but then we came
up with this.
What is the cause of this acidity?
Is it diet-based?
Is it stress-based?
Is it all the above?
Yes, anything that is stress, too much, we can handle.
So diet, like inflammation stress, stress as far as pressure, daily life?
Any stress we are not able to deal with will be translated into chemistry.
And as you are not dealing with it, it will be stored.
I'm going to stop you right here because for a lot of people that are listening
to this, like, what the fuck is Joe Rogan doing on this podcast?
What the hell is this about?
You are very unique in that your claims are incredibly unusual but substantiated
by science.
And this is not, um, it's not woo-woo science.
This is real, legitimate researchers have, they injected you with, what was it
they injected you with?
With an E. coli bacteria, an endotoxemia.
An endotoxin and then they monitored your immune system and saw that you could
actively force your immune system to fight off this injection.
Very specifically within a quarter of an hour.
And this is something they did not think was possible until you performed this.
Exactly.
They saw that I was influencing into the so-called autonomic nervous system.
And then for also for people that did not hear the first podcast, you have
achieved, I believe it's, correct me if I'm wrong, 26 world records?
Yes, 26.
Including, um, you have the longest time of holding your breath and swimming
under, uh, under, uh, ocean ice.
Ocean ice too, right?
Yes, ocean ice.
In fucking incredibly cold water where salt water freezes over, right?
Yes, yes.
And you ran marathons, basically in your underwear.
Yes, in the shorts, in, say, beyond the polar circle in midwinter.
Yeah, beyond the polar circle.
As well as in the desert without drinking.
Yes.
No meter of training because I don't like running too much.
I just do it, you know, I just do it.
It's like when your house is on fire, you run fast.
Right.
You don't need to train, therefore.
Right.
And, um, so, uh, I know how to tap into this adrenaline, uh, system, the axis,
the brainstem, the reptilian mode.
I've learned that.
Well, I have a lot of friends that have followed your course now.
Uh, my good friend, Denny, apparently was just with you this past weekend in
San Francisco.
Denny Propocos, he's a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, and a good friend of mine and a really interesting guy.
He loves your stuff.
And, uh, he's, he's fascinated by it.
I know a lot of other people that are fascinated by it, too.
A lot of people that I know that are taking your course and trying your stuff
since the last time you were on.
So, anybody who's listening to this podcast for the first time, you might want
to go back and listen to the first one.
And we go into great detail about all the different accomplishments that you've
made with your method, the Wim Hof breathing method.
Um, so, in case you're listening to this for the first time, you're like, what
the fuck is this?
You know, that's.
That it is.
Again.
Legit.
It's, uh, legit and legend.
Uh, so.
Legit.
