TLDR; Win Hoff Method (WHM) has been one of the most mysterious things that has allowed people to climb snowy mountains almost naked in middle of the winter. The core interesting aspect of it has been that it can be learned (see, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaMjhwFE1Zw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaMjhwFE1Zw) and therefore the assumption that this is because of some extreme genetics has been overruled. The current research paper has following findings: 1. WHM allows to control pain center of brain at will shutting down the pain response. 2. WHM increases response in brain areas that keep sustained focus in face of adverse conditions. 3. WHM does not cause increased metabolism to keep body warm. 4. The mechanism of keeping body warm seems to be forceful respiration that increases response of fight-or-flee autonomous nervous system increasing glucose consumption in muscles around the lungs.
