Learn the WIM HOF METHOD to reduce inflammation

15 years ago, I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a type of arthritis that causes inflammation in certain parts of the spine and the sacroiliac joint.

Since I started practicing the Wim Hof Method two and a half years ago, my life has gradually transformed, making a complete 180-degree turn. Not only has my mental health improved, but my physical health has also greatly benefited.

Before, I struggled with severe anxiety and chronic back pain that conventional medicine couldn’t relieve. Thanks to the Wim Hof Method, I can now perfectly manage my anxiety, I’ve gained mental clarity, and my chronic back pain has disappeared. This allows me to engage in higher-impact activities like running, jumping, and even dancing.

After experiencing this transformation in my mind and body, I decided to become an instructor to share this powerful tool and help improve the quality of life for others through my own experience.

“We are capable of much more than we think.”

  1. Hi Doreen,

    Thank you for your response! I understand that the Wim Hof Method (WHM) might not be for everyone, but it is scientifically supported and has shown significant benefits for both mental and physical health. Studies have demonstrated its impact on the autonomic nervous system, immune response, and overall resilience.

    That being said, safety is always a priority. While most people can practice the WHM, it is not recommended for individuals with epilepsy, heart conditions, or during pregnancy. For those who can practice it safely, it can be a powerful tool for well-being.

    I would love to have a conversation with you to explain more details about the method and how it could help many people in our community. The beauty of WHM is that it can be practiced for free, in a simple way, from home—making it accessible to those who need it most. Let me know if you’d be open to a chat!

    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

    Best regards,
    Oscar Marin
