@MikePosner on his WHM training for Mt. Everest | The Wim Hof Podcast

Singer Mike Posner spent two months at Everest base camp using Wim Hof's breathing technique and cold immersion to prepare for the summit. On summit day at minus 20 degrees, he felt the cold far less intensely than expected, crediting the method with helping him acclimate and reach the top.

Essentially, the Wim Hof Method is something you, you figured out. And that is just so special when I think about the breath exercises that I took back with me and the cold immersion exercises that I took back with me. And I met you when I was training, just starting to train to climb Mount Everest. These practices, the breath, you know, when I went up to base camp is 17,000 feet. I don't know the meters and— 5,000. Yeah, and so I'm living there for 2 months essentially and then climbing to the summit. Uh, we were blessed to make it to the summit at 8,800 meters. I'm using the breath technique all the time and also the cold immersion to have my body acclimated, you know. So when I'm up on summit day and it's -20 degrees Fahrenheit, I don't— it doesn't feel as cold. It's still cold, but it doesn't feel as cold as it would if I had not had those techniques that you shared with us. And so I always want to thank you and acknowledge you for being up to what you're up to, man. You're You're so dedicated and so pure in your practice and your goal to share, to share, and that's all you care about is sharing this stuff. Yes. You very easily could have these same— sorry to interrupt you— you very easily could have these same talents that you have or skills. We call them skills because you developed it, right? You could very easily just keep it and say, hey, look at me, I can stay in the ice for this long, I'm the fucking man, look. But you don't do that at all. Your goal is to share it with as many people as possible and share with those that will share with others. And the work has touched me personally, and I hope, you know, reverberated out to the people that I touch with my music, but also in my life. So thank you, brother. Thank you.
