Introduction
Wim Hof has developed a method characterized by simplicity and effectiveness. The
effects and applicability of this method are being investigated by various scientific
institutes, including Radboud University. Initial results have shown that the method
appears to affect the autonomic nervous system and the immune system. This
means that application of the Wim Hof Method (WHM) may be of particular
importance in the fields of public health, sports and at many other levels.
The effectiveness of this method has been known to Wim Hof for years, which is why
he wishes to share it with the world. He wants to ensure that this method will be
applied on a large scale. To achieve this, his method is being scientifically
investigated, he is leading training sessions and workshops, and he is giving
interviews to national and international media.
This report discusses how the WHM originated, what the method consists of, which
physiological effects it has, which scientific results it has yielded and which fields
the method can be applied to.
