"Brain Over Body" - A study on the willful regulation of autonomic function during cold exposure
The defence of body temperature against environmental thermal challenges is a core objective of homeostatic regulation governed by the autonomic nervous system. Autonomous mechanisms of thermoregulation are only weakly affected by top-down modulation, allowing only transient tolerance for extreme cold. There is however, anecdotal evidence of a unique set of individuals known for extreme cold tolerance. Here we present a case study of a 57-year old Dutch national, Wim Hof, the so-called “Iceman”, with the ability to withstand frequent prolonged periods of extreme cold exposure based on the practice of a self-developed technique involving a combination of forced breathing, cold exposure and meditation (collectively referred to as the Wim Hof Method, henceforth “WHM”). The relative contributions of the brain and the periphery that endow the Iceman with these capabilities is unknown. To investigate this, we conducted multi-modal imaging assessments of the brain and the periphery using a combination of fMRI and PET/CT imaging. Thermoregulatory defence was evoked by subjecting the Iceman (and a cohort of typical controls) to a fMRI paradigm designed to generate periods of mild hypothermia interspersed by periods of return to basal core body temperature. fMRI was acquired in two separate sessions: in a typical (passive) state and following the practice of WHM. In addition, the Iceman also underwent a whole body PET/CT imaging session using the tracers C11-hydroxyephedrine (HED) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) during both thermoneutral and prolonged mild cold conditions. This acquisition allowed us to determine changes in sympathetic innervation (HED) and glucose consumption (FDG) in muscle and fat tissues in the absence of the WHM. fMRI analyses indicated that the WHM activates primary control centers for descending pain/cold stimuli modulation in the periaqueductal gray (PAG), possibly initiating a stress-induced analgesic response. In addition, the WHM also engages higher-order cortical areas (left anterior and right middle insula) that are uniquely associated with self-reflection, and which facilitate both internal focus and sustained attention in the presence of averse (e.g. cold) external stimuli. However, the activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) was unremarkable. Finally, forceful respiration results in increased sympathetic innervation and glucose consumption in intercostal muscle, generating heat that dissipates to lung tissue and warms circulating blood in the pulmonary capillaries. Our results provide compelling evidence for the primacy of the brain (CNS) rather than the body (peripheral mechanisms) in mediating the Iceman's responses to cold exposure. They also suggest the compelling possibility that the WHM might allow practitioners to develop higher level of control over key components of the autonomous system, with implications for lifestyle interventions that might ameliorate multiple clinical syndromes.

ABOUT WIM HOF
=====
“The Iceman” Wim Hof is a Dutch athlete and multiple Guiness World Record holder known for his ability to withstand extreme cold and his extraordinary achievements.
Wim believes that EVERYONE is capable of doing the same exceptional things his body allows him to do. That’s why he developed the Wim Hof Method - a combination of breathing exercises, cold therapy and commitment - to give YOU the tools to take control over your body.
He’s on a mission to share the potential health benefits of his method, working with scientists around the world to prove that his techniques work.

It is great that a master of his art openly gives away his technique in detail. No barriers but that of ourselves.
Well, it's literally ancient technique. He just found out about it, thats all. He admits that too. It's an ancient kundalini breathing exercise - that's what Wim said. I know nothing about kundalini exercises, I just believed him. But yeah, it's great that it's getting mainstream attention.
@@michalvalta5231 Wim is quite open about this stuff. You can even hear him give 'false' information on what's happening in the body during his techniques during his earlier public method sharing moments versus later. At first, all he knew was 'it works'. And only now is he beginning to see what he's doing to his body and mind by using his own technique. His most recent public showcases are a lot more accurate than his previous ones. At first he was talking just about 'energy' and the 'pineal gland in the brainstem' which... is only like 25% correct. His most recent explanations are a lot more informed. He still is a very spacey individual though. That's not a bad thing, but it's something that scares off the scientifically inclines among us when they hear him speak. Take notice though: that does not make this any less important. It is absolutely key that people, including scientists, figure out exactly how this works and why it works because... for many people this can actually work.
minutes ago edited so true and so wonderful. He gently reminds us of the key to happy existence without asking for money . A true man.

Michal Valta so yes u agree
I've been trying this for the past month and it has made a significant improvement in my Traumatic Brain Injury symptoms like loss of balance and declined ability to speak audibly and clearly when I'm subjected to loud noise. I've seen a huge improvement. Thank you Wim!
wow what a testimonial - well done you
Right on! Thank you for diving in ❤️
@@wimhof1 I'll try anything to get my brain out of this damaged state and so far some of your methods have helped. I haven't yet done the icy cold ocean swim, or sleeping in the snow, but hope to at least lay peacefully in the snow at some point. Thank you for providing this wonderful alternative to living a life of limitations.
Awesome. How amazing. Good luck with your recovery I'm sure you'll come back even better than before the injury! Don't let it dictate your life. Much love
@@wimhof1 I will see you one day ;D
Wim Hof, the man who wrote himself in History forever.
@Mr.Oliva And what have you offered humanity?
@@michalg4431 Are they doing Harlem shake 6:05
@@stevethea5250 yeah
I love to see how science explains exactly what happens when doing the breathing exercises.
I think Wim explains it quite good in his recent appearance at Russell Brands podcast "Under the skin". He demonstrates the technique for Russell and during the meantime Wim gives an explanation of what's happening in the body scientifically. If you or anybody else doesn't wanna hear the whole episode, start listening at about 55 minutes in and forward. Bless mother nature and bless Wim Hof for saving my life!
That's actually easily explained. What's not easily explained is how far the effects go, if that makes sense. You are basically turning your blood alkaline, which has been considered a bad thing by science for a long time... hyperventilation does the same thing, but with a very big exception: with this method you only do this for a very short time and then return to balance. You give your body and blood time to return to baseline by holding your breath, letting CO2 levels build up again and temporarily increasing blood pressure in the brain (the 'push' at the end of a round of his breathing). This is basically 'training' your body by making it alkaline and back to normal in a short period of time. While doing this, you're basically meditating, because all you're focused on is the technique. It's a double whammy and both his breathing *and* meditation have scientifically proven effects on body and mind. This isn't all that's to it, but it's a start and the part that can be proven. This is a very, very global view of the entire thing though. It's kind of like the cold showers: the cold showers 'shock' your body into releasing all kinds of neurotransmitters and chemicals and also force your capillaries to contract and then slowly release afterwards. You can basically view this like you would strength training for muscles: expose to stress, adapt, progress, adapt, get better/stronger/faster/more resilient.
Science explains the breathing or Breathing explains science?!
I love how science has an answer for everything and yet overlooking the power of the mind. I believe in science don't give me wrong but I also believe in mind over matter, which is something science cannot accept. I have mad respect for this man
U don’t believe in science … science is not fact. It’s speech like any other, it’s dogmatic thoughts like yours that prevents science from uncovering new discoveries. Because it establishes science as fact
From what I’m learning about with Dr Crum? At Stanford (Huberman Lab podcast) “Science” has definitely started accepting the mind as a powerful variable in how the body reacts. The studies she talks about with milkshakes and placebos are very interesting. I think we are slowly but surely getting there is my point :)
Wim oxygenates his cells calms his mind and burns glucose at an accelerated rate to protect his body. Amazing.
It's even deeper than that. He does oxygenate his cells... but during that phase the brain actually receives *less* oxygen. But, but letting CO2 levels get close to normal during the breath holding phase of his breathing technique, combined with that last final inhale and 'push' you basically force your body into alkaline state and back to normal in a very short amount of time, thus restoring balance. Wim's method works, is very intriguing (even if it's an adaptation of old techniques almost lost to modern man) but his explanations are often off, especially during his older videos and recorded talks. That doesn't matter though, it still works. Just saying this because some scientific bros will get mad if you just repeat what Wim has said in the past.
If you do this regularly (and safely) this is basically a form of training. You're just not training your muscles or endurance per se, you're training a totally different response and as far as we can tell, this may just very well have benefits for many people.
@@KindOldRaven tell me more pls
This is an old teccnique practiced by the yogis of India.
The would do the same breathing techniques and mind
control while sitting in the snow. They would produce so
much heat, the snow around them would melt.
Another yogi was put into a cave with no food or water.
It was said he slowed his body down so much that after 30
days he had not lost any weight and was still as energetic
as when he started. He essentially went into hibernation.
Many people can fast for 30 days but will normally lose weight,
but there are not many people who can go without water for
more than a week, especially if they are fasting.
The Kundalini method of yoga teaches many breating techniques.
One of them is called the breath of fire. It is rapid sustained
very deep breathing for as long as possible. The body will heat
up and if there is any pain it will dissapate and not be experienced
during the rapid breathing. Breath of fire is also used when you
may need to do a difficult physical task.
If I'm not mistaken when they took them out of habitat they weren't able to duplicate those results of heat in snow.
Fernesque Golan
You do understand that the increase in metabolic rate to generate such heat comes hand in hand with a much higher caloric expenditure ?
The notion that JUST mind over matter cavalierly allows you to postpone hypothermia indefinitely belongs to the realms of Unicorn land, the same with anecdotal stories of hermit monks, reality still has to conform to the general rules of Thermodynamics.
@@NunoJoelPrivado I don't think the yogi who sat in the snow, melting it are the same ones who hibernated. Also, none of his examples says they could go on indefinitely.
I think he meant that the guy who went into hibernation was still energetic when he woke up, not that he was awake and energetic the whole time.
There was a case of a guy who fell off a cliff somewhere in a warmer climate and somehow survived in some sort of hibernation. I don't recall how it happened exactly.
But it's not unheard of. It's just unusual and probably takes practice before you can do it. Not losing any weight after 30 days is what I would take with a grain of salt however.
@@NunoJoelPrivado Wim did a video with Yes Theory where they stayed in freezing cold water for 10 minutes without any prior training and without hypothermia. So they postponed hypothermia simply using mind over matter. Watch the video yourself shouldn't be hard to find.
Well, call me when someone lasts 30 days without water
When I did this the second time, something weird happened at the end as I took in the breath, I felt so so relaxed and calm...I love this feeling!!!
Thanks Wim
Only 15 days with this method and i seriously got so many benefits
How is it going now?
Domingo Dean me too
How many times a day do u donthe 3 round breathing exercise? And when should i get in the cold water? Right aftwr the brearhing?
@@mitkabz I do it everyday but you can do a couple days a week if you want its okay and i usually get into cold showers first then do the method.
@@mirankqiku well i go to the beach for the cold water and if its too stormy i do cold shower. I do the brrathi g everyday twice but im.only a couple of days in the method....the cold at the beach is amazing i feel as though im starting to be in control over my mind Its a fucking trip. I get in the water full on and i comand my brain and body to relax and BE the cold..this cold i have been doing regularly now for some times before i new of wim hof. Im from the middle east and luckly we have a bit of a winter this year.
Wim is changing the world. His breathing technique has changed my life for the better. Words can't described how I've grown and changed from the breathing and then the breathing and cold therapy. Cold water is to the ego like holy water is to a holly-wood vampire.
I know this: everybody in the world needs a breath of fresh air.
So grateful for this man and all those who practice,study, and follow!
6:07 - The REAL method
lmao
LOL :D it works for me tooo!
I think Its Wim Hoff harlem shake ;)
HAHAHA
I knew all these breathing techniques is bullshit.That's where the real technique is!
Thank you Wim Hof, I have always had high blood pressure and you have helped me get it under control better than any med my doctor has given me.
Thank you Wim Hof! Because of your techniques, I am having an easier post-op recovery!! The breathing WORKS!!!

What I love abou Wim is that he does not keep his knowledge to himelf, but share it with anybody that LISTENS!
Thank you Wim Hof for your videos toray was my first day in watching them and i have seen 3 already with completing the exercise..........i want to master them to help my kids, family amd beyond. Alot of my sorroundings are with people of mental health and it sad how med are makong them sicker rather than healthier. I am struggling with anxiety, panic attacks fear after 10 uears of drug use my whole nerves system just collapse on me. Now, i am drug free but with mental struggles. I will make this my morning medication to watch your videos. Thank you all for sharing.
I lost everything but my mind in a car accident 3.5 years ago. I had to work to learn how to breathe again even and today, I use my mind to control my nervous system the way youd flex a muscle. I had to reconstruct all my senses and then learn how to turn their corresponding responds on or off so now if I’m cold I warm myself up, if I hurt I make it stop, if I wanna sleep I shut down. Anyone can become consciously aware of all the things your body does for you and become its master
Beautiful! We are being shown that the human body is capable of more than we know. If we are taught how. Thank you Wim Hoff!!
This is part of collective consciousness and I'm thankful. Keep developing your body, mind and spirit, we all will benefit. I'll try doing it for all you also.
My wife struggled with epilepsy for years. Finally she had a lobe ectomyw, this has made her life much better. She has no more seizures🙏🏻. She does have an antibody problem that she needs to get infusions weekly for. She and I are doing the breathing exercises and cold showers. She has no problem with cold, she is often hot when I am cold. Her right temporal lobe was where she had the lobe ectomy. Is there a connection between this and her experiences with breathing and cold related? Thanks
Wim - thank you so much for the work you doing. Just shows you can use more that the 10% of your brain that "some" of us use. Love and Light to You
I'm addicted. I started cold showers and now I am doing baths in a box freezer. I just did 5 min. in the box at 49 f. And then 3 min cold shower. I feel Alive af. Amazing, my body switches mode now at about a minute. Life changing ... thank you Wim
What temperature should I be working to? What is optimal? I'm gonna go down to 45 f. Next week.
And optimal time? I read 11-15 min.
Im a ddicted to the cold as well ....i do the ocean and showers no ice box yet...
@@mitkabz , full body immersion brings you to a place of utter zen. I can describe as it places into the throne room of God.
@@jasonjackson1000 that is exactly what i do and feel...but what about the breathing? Before the cold? after the cold? No difference? How many times a day the 3 round breathing technic should i do? Thanks so much for responding🙏
Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹
Y'all such an inspiration 🥰
Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈
I started doing the wim Hof
In I'm starting to say it amazing
But still got to keep working
Wim Hof a legend forever and ever
Thank you, Wim Hoff. I just started and already my brain is clearing and my heart is calmer. Thank you so much!!!
what a blimin good video and what an amazing study, perfectly explained, with the odd joke for good measure. Its studies like these that further accelerate the interest in Wim's method. It is still usual to be met with an incredulous look, when explaining you voluntarily expose yourself to extreme cold, however with studies like these and in another 5-10 years, I hope this stuff will be considered normal. Thanks for the upload
Yes dave it's tom I watch your videos. I like what you said about having people accept it to be considered normal. I speak to people about the cold exposure and people are soooo against it and just think it's going to make you really sick all the time. We are proof just like wim etc but people don't want to go out comfort zone
Exercise what you have inside. Stimulate the systems and you will become stronger against illness and stronger mentally !
@@tomnelson3366 Hi Tom, thanks for the comment, yeh youre right - i dont know about you, but I actually quite like it when people think its odd
@@EvolutionofDave
Yeah I know what you mean I actually like it to because people just see you different but I don't mind because it's normal to me and benefits me hugely
It's odd to me when people strive for money and materialistic things when what matters is your health and happiness on the inside and having gratitude for the simple things
Each time I see video with Wim Hof, I feel overwhelming love. And entuziazm to do thinks he recommends, BLESS YOU and everyone around u.
I absolutely love the science and truth of this study. And the crazy dancing at the end was hilarious.
All of the subjects for the study were men. I wonder if the observations would be the same if women were studied. ?
this holds the key to so much we haven't touched...true break through
I learned a lot of my breathing and meditation from tae kwon doe. Adapting to wim hof has been a great journey. Thank you for allowing science to measure.
Wim Hof & Neville Goddard, came across both this week, feeling blessed and so thankful for Wim, I have a thyroid that's acting up so it interferes with breathing, shallow breath at times so this is exactly what I need
The master knows calisthenics I see
You changed my life!! Forever grateful!
For me, this is the best thing about wim hof, he doesn't shy away from the science, he embraces it. So many yoga/new age teachers are all about the mysticism and making crazy claims about what they can do.. as a very logical/scientific leaning person I was always turned off by this. Had Wim not done any of these studies to back up some of his claims (some things he's said are still maybe a little far fetched for me ha) I probably would not have given his method a second thought. But since he sought to prove there was something to this, I tried it. My daily life has considerably improved over the past 4 months. (No major injuries or disorders, I just wasn't as happy and energetic as I am now). I feel like a better person and I feel like I can give the ones I love more happiness then I could have last year. Thank you Wim, you are a truly humble and wonderful person. Maybe one day I can shake your hand and thank you in person.
Dankjewel! Zelf heb ik een hernia op mijn 17e opgelopen. Ik probeer dit sinds 2 weken nu. Het helpt mij enorm om te ontspannen. Ik ben nog niet begonnen met koud douchen. Dit durf ik nog niet met mijn rug maar binnenkort ga ik het erbij nemen. Soortgelijke oefeningen heb ik Rickson gracie zien doen. Zelf een vechtsporter ben ik mezelf erna in gaan verdiepen en na een jaar kwam ik uit bij jou. In de toekomst zal ik zeker een training komen doen. Groeten uit het zuiden van het land.
This is the best video ive found for explaining to others what i mean by "become super human"
Although really, this state is clearly how we are meant to operate, and this method is a shortcut to getting back to there
Tommorow I will show this to my little students, to complete Wim Hof scientific and educational short course. Very important in this plandemic time.
To build your immunity, yes. NO vaccines...
Wim you change my life. Nothing more than gratitude for you. Saludos de Argentina
Great video! Very informative! Thank-you! I have been taking cold showers and baths for several months now when i used to believe it would be impossible for me to endure. Now, i look forward to them. Respect and gratitude to Wim for helping me to learn how to "chill out" and relax more!
Change is only constant thing in the world
Fascinating video
Have been watching wim hof videos for week now, I'm glad that, spotted his idea and his life, in the you tube world.
Thanks team
Thank you Wim Hof. Thank CZcams for bringing this to all!!
What a wonderful summary, and very inspiring for me to share with my clients as a therapist, thank you!
Thank you Mr. Hof, you are an amazing person..
I did Hypnobirthing and the mind/body/pain mechanism is absolutely real and controllable. After watching this, i decided to try it. I took a quick warm shower to wash my hair and body, then filled the bath with cold water. After doing some breathing I got in.....and immediately abandoned the controlled breathing, hyperventilated, and panicked to the point I started crying. Hmmm. Didn’t expect that. So I reminded myself to control my breathing and immediately after about 2 breaths the water temperature became irrelevant and I could relax in the water. The mind is powerful.
Am happy to discover Wim Hof beacuse he did not only thought me how powerful is the power of the mind... through this understanding am able to withstand a heat that I experience
Seems the age of miracles is upon us. How have all these abilities eluded us for so many millennia?
Tech
good question? would it have to do with capitalism I wonder >> hmmm.. ??
It’s not a miracle, not even close. Western science hasn’t been around 300 yrs let alone many millennia. Wim Hof has exposed and built on what was already known in other known. practices.
Thank u Wim! I will be in Utrecht and Houten Sept 20- Oct 4. Would love to meet you! I am going in honor of my mom who I lost a month ago. She lived through WWII at 13 yrs old in Holland. She didn't come to the states till she was 30. We found her diary, where we found the word "moed" throughout. Strength. Courage. That is you to me. I haven't been back to Holland since i was 16. I cant wait to come home. Visser strong. I love that you decided to take care of you, and search to nature. It is ultimately where we are from. Please keep in touch, and dank ya from this little Dutch girl in America. Moed Lieffje! Laura (Visser)

Goosebumps 🙏🏻 God suggested Mr Hofs videos last night . watched ton of videos made my own conclusions but this animation explained what exactly Mr Hof achieved !!!! Amazing 👍🏻🙏🏻
Started this morning right away 🙏🏻
I've had anxiety and this breathing technique is helping. It's been known for a long time about the benefits of cold showers, which I also do. I'm a Christian so I'm not into the yoga side of it.
Why would being a Christian stop you from doing yoga?
This is revolutionary the effects are immediate and true. Its going to be great for the exploration of the arctic and antarctic regions for all us Globe sceptics. Viva!
Wim Hof went through trauma of losing his wife. Relating to his trauma, I had built 1,000 hours in LearJet 24’s in 18 months and had two complete melt downs afterwards. These melt downs gave me the flexibility to adapt & change to the high altitude flying environment for 18 years.
During my 2 year University Degree at ERAU in Daytona Beach, Florida I experienced human, Chi, God energy. Events happened in my life because of it and I am here to write & talk about it.
The final point they made is beautiful and exactly what I needed to hear.
Sure it is nice to be able to withstand cold but that´s not why the science is so important. Helping people fight depression and get back in control that´s where the true benefit of this method lies. That´s why i´m learning this and spreading the word.
keep that inner fire burning :)

wim I love you man , thank you so much for changing our lives
“Change, however small, can gradually transform a life.” Yup. As someone with depression, I can’t believe there’s something 100% natural that can make me feel so good with so little effort. Exercise is wonderful. It certainly makes me feel great, but this is even better because it’s easier and so I can actually do it even when I’m super depressed.... You’re just lying there, literally getting high on your own supply. It really is a high. I’m truly addicted... to myself.
So well put :. A changé, no matter how small, over Time Can change a life...
I have a headscan machine called the Muse and I used this whilst doing Wim Hoffs breathing. The results are amazing my delta waves shot up really high These waves are associated with deep sleep so I am not sure what is going on. I was doing compassionate meditation whilst doing this but I have never had such a rise when meditating
I love the sience behind the method shown in this video. All your video's inspire me more and more to practise daily and eventualy participate with a course.
Wim, thank you for kindly sharing your knowledge and wisdom with the world. I have been practicing daily and telling my friends and family. Feeling more alive and powerful! 👊
Love the way its explained including the humour 😊 "....although physically borrowing and measuring a brain from someone who's alive is usually illegal......" 😁 Joking apart, just finished reading wim's book & it's "Amazing"! hopefully we'll get to meet him someday on one of the retreats!
This video deserves much more attention
This is incredible. They should have taken a few people from the control to do Wim' s method, to see where they stand before and after.
epic, just hope the government doesn't shut this real science down
What an AMAZING TECHNIQUE; &, the capturing of the concepts evolved, as well! Thank you, both.

Amazing video. Glad I can do crazy cold plunges like you Wim.
Thanks for sharing, great that science finds the reasons behind the method

esse método mudou minha vida, parei de fumar tabacco por causa do winhof, voltei pro esporte mesmo com mais de 8 fraturas pelo corpo, dois ossos a menos, e muitas dores crônicas, resolveu meu problema imune, pq perdi o baço e parte do fígado. Me tornei ultramaratonista praticando winhof. Só agradece.
This is an awesome video. It's great to see how science explains what happens when doing the Wim Hof breathing exercises.
If someone would have told me in this past symmer that I would be walking in the winter with shorts on, and no underwear, I would have thought they were crazy. The indoor track that I walk on in the winter has the following sign. "What your mind believbes, your body achieves." I learned from Wim Hoff
I will use wim hofs methods to go to the next level and prove him not only right but undoubtedly so.

@@johngalt4977 always open to new ideas!
this is absolutely revolutionary
Best explanation I have heard so far. Cheers for that
Well. Very educational and very persuadable. Thank you one more time. ... from Croatia.
I’m a type 1 diabetic and the muscles by the ribs “eating up glucose” is very interesting and makes me want to do tests on my meter while doing cold plunges.
Amazing. Thank you Mr. Hof.
“Change however small can gradually transform a life”
Maybe get a study done with “Masuro Emoto” the water crystal research, to check Wim’s blood/fluids for microscopic shapes.
Also what are the PH levels before - after doing the breathing and before - after cold shower?
Maybe get in contact with dr. Jerry Tennant. His research suggests PH of 7.4 maintains the body, PH of 7.8 restores/replaces cells, and PH of 8.0 can even heal cancer cells!
I would love to see Wim do some work with these researchers, lets get all angles of science involved!
i don't think the change of PH would be significant since it goes back to baseline after few seconds/minutes
Thank you, Wim Hof🙏🏻
so I mean it's pretty much just an effective way to train yourself to consciously ramp up your metabolism and energy production and physiology in response to stress.
A lot of people, like me, don't cope/handle stress well (and shut down)...and this is a way to train/rewire our stress response to ramp up in the face of stress rather than shut down.
Absolutely astonishing
Followed this man's belief for years since I saw the tv show.
Ah so it’s a re-upload! Anyhow, nothing wrong in watching good information again!
''Nice and flat... like pancakes! Or the Netherlands...'' had me laughing so hard. Grea tvideo!
Seria muy bueno, tener estos tipos de videos tan interesantes subtitulados en Español. Gracias
Even witouth doing this breathing. I noticed if I breath really slow and profound in a cold environment, I feel less could, my body doesn't shiver.
