Nutritionist Darin Olien explains how the Wim Hof Method increases red blood cell count and oxygen delivery to the brain and organs. He argues that modern diet and environment make the body too acidic, and that breathing exercises combined with fresh fruits and vegetables create an alkaline state where oxygen works better.

So I'm Darin Olien. I'm a nutritionist, superfood hunter, and author. I really understand the importance of oxygen to the system. Oxygen is an unsung hero in the vitality of a body, and it's been studied for over 200 years. If you can positively influence the body's ability to receive oxygen, you single-handedly positively influence every system of the body. You naturally then change the chemistry of your brain, the endocrine system, and also influence dramatically the acidification that's going on in the body, improving the alkalinity And why is that important? Because that is the governing system of the body. If you're acidified through diet, water, air, EMFs, electromagnetic, all of these things in modern-day world are very acidic. We have to get back to the core of our health, and oxygen is the spark of every single cell, healthy cell in the body. So without it, you can take anything you want, you can take any magic pill or anything, and you'll never get to the correct operating system of the body, and that's by oxygen. And so I have found that by doing Wim Hof Method It is the most powerful thing you can do to do the most primary thing you can for your health, and that's increasing red blood cells, oxygen, decreasing acidification in the body. There's also this other side to it. By what you're drinking, eating, is creating environments in your body. So by positively affecting the pH of your body, the red blood cells of your body by the diet, you're amplifying the body's ability to receive oxygen. If you create a body that's alkaline, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, then you're allowing and creating an environment so that when you breathe in your body can receive more of that oxygen because it's— you've now prepared it to do so. So the intersection— everything is connected— so the intersection between proper nutrition and taking in that oxygen is essential for optimal health.
