'The Iceman' Wim Hof's daily routine: Rhythmic breathing, natural diet and good tunes

I usually wake up with the sun. No alarm, no wearable. Just nature. I like to live as naturally as possible, waking up with the light and beginning with a deep breath. That’s the first thing. A conscious breath to start the day. It brings me right into my body, into my blood, into the moment.

Then I do a full breathing session. Deep, rhythmic breathing. I alkalise my body that way, and I can go minutes without breathing after exhalation. That, to me, is a biohack. It clears the residue, wakes me up clean. From there, I usually make a coffee and move into my physical routine.
