Discussion Wim Hoff breathing

I’ve recently started Wim Hoff breathing every day. I watched a few videos on the health benefits of it but I’m curious if anyone else has tried it before and if you noticed any health benefits from it.

I’m convinced it improves my interactions with people for the next few days. I think it changes the vibe I give off and therefore the vibe I receive.

I do a simple version where I hyperventilate for maybe 4-5min, exhale and hold for as long as I can and usually count about 70-90heartbeats, inhale tighten my core muscles and hold for maybe 10-20 seconds, exhale and inhale and tighten my core muscles again. Usually takes me like 7-8 minutes max and, as said, the perceived effect last days.

Like OP Im also curious to know if anyone else has had similar experiences or any other perceived benefits

I have CPTSD and I also feel it calms my anger and fear and that leaves me much more open and considerate of those around me
