  > There is also evidence that Wim Hof's abilities are not related to his lifestyle I think you're misinterpreting the point of that study. "A lifestyle with frequent exposures to extreme cold does not seem to affect BAT activity and CIT (cold-induced thermogenesis)" is not the same thing as "Wim Hof's abilities are not related to his lifestyle." Wim teaches people to do what he does. He has trained people to do some of the things he does, like their blood killing E. Coli (!), or bringing 70+ year olds up mountains in their boxers (!). I know from personal experience that those methods increase resistance to cold. But you don't need to rely on my testimony, there's video of him teaching people this stuff. It's not a trick.

    I am well aware of his methods, I'm just pointing out that someone with identical genetics to him had similar abilities despite never doing any of the stuff Wim does. It is a point worth making.

      > It is a point worth making. Do you mean, in relation to the OP's claim that Wim Hof training is "unlikely to help you"? How so?
