Secrets of the Icewomen: The Power of Cold and Breathwork to Balance Hormones, Bolster Health, and Unlock Inner Potential

Become happier, healthier, and stronger with this empowering guide that explores the unique benefits of the popular Wim Hof Method specific to women, filled with research, advice, anecdotes, and more.

The Wim Hof Method, the wellness regimen created by "The Iceman" Wim Hof, has become a global phenomenon. Science-backed and potentially life changing, it focuses on three pillars--breathing, cold therapy, and mindset/commitment--which can result in increased energy, better sleep, a strengthened immune system, and more. While the Wim Hof Method works for everyone, it has unique physical and mental health benefits for women.

In this exciting book, Isabelle and Laura Hof, Wim Hof's daughters and founders of the Icewomen community, combine documented experiences and groundbreaking research to reveal those benefits, from improving mental health, boosting confidence, and balancing hormones to better hair and skin health and a positive impact on pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, and more. The Wim Hof Method for Women also offers detailed advice specifically tailored for women and their needs, including how to plan your WHM practice around your cycle, work on setting strong intentions, adjust and rest if dealing with serious conditions or hormonal imbalances, and learning to understand the (very normal!) range of emotions people have when undergoing cold therapy.

No longer the domain of extreme athletes and wellness-minded men, The Wim Hof Method is being discovered and embraced by women everywhere who are realizing the power of these practices. With this book, Isabelle and Laura bring the Wim Hof Method to every woman. Their hope is to convince those who may not have thought this lifestyle was for them, to knock down gender barriers, and to offer an invitation: Come on in, the water is very cold--and just the cure to reinvigorate and restore you in body, mind, and spirit.
