I have boiled down my reasons for pursuing the Wim Hof Method (WHM) to the fact that I am continuously researching and incorporating modalities that will allow me to manage stress and anxiety as they show up in my personal, professional, and athletic life. The tools I used to measure my body's response to the WHM included a Biostrap Biometric wristband and Polar H10 heart rate strap. First biometric reading in the morning before surf and way before the afternoon WHM seminar. Second biometric reading after a 2hr surf session and right before starting the WHM. Note increased heart rat...
