095 Discovering Wim Hof with Steph Ingram | The Wim Hof Method
In this episode, we are joined by Steph Ingram, a children’s Physiotherapist. She recently finished in the NHS and organized the well-being week for the staff as a leaving gift, which made her feel fantastic. Steph is currently taking some time off for herself to do some self-development. Today, Steph comes onto the show to share her experiences at the Wim Hof retreat and about people’s well-being and mental health.
Discovering Wim Hof
[3:07]
Steph used to do cold showers. She didn’t know the science behind it or why she enjoyed them, but she always took one and would feel good about herself when she came out. She had a little look at Wim Hof’s stuff and ended up signing into a summer retreat of his because she thinks you have to experience these things.
The Retreat
[6:26]
She thought that the whole experience of the retreat was amazing. Steph thinks the ice baths are the biggest part of the Wim Hof method.
Perfect Timing
[12:22]
You are allowed to take a specific time limit in ice baths. In three minutes, the body starts becoming hypothermic so two minutes is enough just for the health benefits of it. However, once you start going over that three-minute mark, that’s when you know you’re controlling the mind.
The Breath
[17:47]
Steph thinks you must do any Wim Hof breath work because it reinforces that you are the driver of your vehicle and look after yourself. If something doesn’t feel good, you bring it back or if you don’t feel like it’s enough, move forward. But at the end of the day, you are in charge.
Canyoning
[24:14]
Canyoning used to be one of Steph’s experiences available to her, but she never had the time to try it before. At one point, she saw a man in a river who couldn’t swim but was floating, and it didn’t stop him from going canyoning. If he can do it, why can’t you?
[28:04]
Being in that sort of environment made Steph feel grounded in a way. Just being with nature and around that sort of natural beauty was just amazing for her.
