Today I’m in the studio talking with Tim Mann of Train the Brain LLC. Tim shares his inspiring story of how discovering the Wim Hof method helped him make a complete recovery after a devastating accident that nearly claimed his life. After his accident, Tim was suffering from a Traumatic Brain injury, PTSD, emergent mood disorder, along with addition to painkillers. He credits his dedication to practicing breath work and cold water exposure in helping him gain his life back. Tim has since gone on to become a certified Wim Hof Instructor who now trains others in the method. We’ll talk about the scientific evidence of how you can influence your autonomic nervous system and share how everyone can use these techniques to live a happier and healthier life… so without further ado, lets jump in!
