Ben, a 24-year-old YouTuber, had chronic inflammation and tonsil infections until he tried the Wim Hof Method. After three months of breathing exercises, he attended a workshop where he did 60 push-ups for the first time, a personal record that left him euphoric and convinced him to practice daily.

My name is Ben, I'm 24, I'm from Germany, my parents are Indonesian-Americans, but I live in London right now. I'm an actor, a full-time YouTuber, and I write stuff as well. I found out about the Wim Hof Method like probably everyone else. I found it on Vice, on the documentaries, and I was in a time where I just came from a warm climate. I lived in a warm climate for the last 6 years, and the day I moved back to Europe, I got ill immediately. I've had inflammation, I've had an infection in my tonsils, So I checked out this website and I found Wim Hof Method. I immediately purchased the app, started breathing by myself, and it was only uphill from there.
Pull in! Letting go! It's all neurology! And you are in command!
I've been doing it for 3 months by myself. I'm actually friends with one of the instructors. We live next door to each other. So I've been practicing for 3 months in total, and this is my first workshop with Wim. I learned incredible amounts amounts of information with this workshop. Today I learned insane amounts of information. There was so much going on, they taught you so much, and there are a lot of things that I learned, but most of all that I'm— this is the time I'm going to stop limiting myself. This is the last time I'm going to limit myself and my physical capabilities forever. I was a little skeptical. I've been breathing for 3 months, it's been giving me various benefits, but I've never really gotten healthy. I took a couple of antibiotics last week and I still didn't recover from it. I just asked Wim what, what, what, what could I possibly do to to combat this. So he invited me over to stage, which was super cool. He made me breathe 40 times, and then I suddenly pulled off 60 push-ups, which was ridiculous. I've never done 60 push-ups ever. After the push-ups with Wim, I felt incredibly high.
I felt like I was on a little cloud.
I didn't really— I was a little tunnel-visioned. Maybe I I'm still a little bit now.
This was like 5 minutes ago.
I'm gonna incorporate this in my daily life for sure. I'm gonna be breathing every day.
I feel cold showers just waking me up.
I feel like, I feel like a champion straight up from the get-go.
I wake up in the morning, I breathe, I feel aware, I feel strong, and I'll keep on doing this forever, I think.
I would recommend to people that you should keep an open mind towards everything in life, but especially the things that involve your body and things that are so primal and so basic.
I think everyone should have an open mind about what happens to your body and how you can heal yourself from the inside without any other influence from other, other people. So always keep an open mind and truly believe in yourself.
