> Practice Wim Hof Method Do not practice the pseudoscientific methods of a genetic outlier who strapped some random thoughts and ideas to the _revolutionary_ method of... training. It's a waste of your time, as are cold showers etc.

Even with the best of diets and exercise regimes, you'll still get sick. Don't fall for the "oh well once you sat down for two hours straight and ate some chocolate on Christmas day, of course you got sick, you didn't do it right!!" manipulations.

Genetic outlier? The guy literally took many completely untrained random people from diversity many times, applied his methods, and shown people have similar effects. Not to mention all the science-backed experiments around the method.

Wim Hof is exactly opposite of pseudoscience: someone who is collaborating with scientists and doctors to show that he's not special and anyone can do the same.
