Wim Hof became known as ‘The Iceman’ by showing the world his scientific breakthroughs related to cold exposure. He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts, ran a half marathon above the Arctic Circle barefoot, and stood in a container while covered with ice cubes for more than 112 minutes.
Using 'cold, hard nature' as his teacher, his extensive training has enabled him to learn to control his breathing, heart-rate, and blood circulation to withstand extreme temperatures.
Wim has made it his mission to share what he’s learned with the rest of the world.

For years we have been huge fans of the pioneering work ‘The ice man’ Wim Hof has been doing and we were given the opportunity to go to Wim’s house for the day to experience his methods with the man himself. At the end of the day we sat down with Wim and discussed his methods, how they came about and why he is so passionate about spreading them! The only way to describe the experience and Wim is breathtaking!
Enjoy!
A huge thanks to everyone involved in this project and a special thanks to Wim and his team.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
