Align Podcast

Wim Hof has pushed the limits of the human body: running marathons in freezing temperatures, climbing Everest in shorts, and enduring nearly two hours submerged in ice.

After decades of extreme feats, he realized the greatest challenge wasn’t physical, but internal...

Following personal tragedy, Wim turned inward, using breathwork and cold exposure to heal and regain control of his mind and body.

In this episode from the Align Podcast, Wim Hof shares his best practices for strengthening resilience, regulating the nervous system, and helping anyone reconnect to their innate capacity for health and vitality.

Wim Hof ("The Iceman") is the creator of the Wim Hof Method. Through more than thirty years of training in nature, he has developed a method that combines specific breathing techniques, cold exposure and mindset. This method has been the first to scientifically prove the ability to actively influence the innate immune system and the autonomic nervous system.

Wim holds 26 world records, and has numerous other feats under his belt. He ran a marathon above the Polar Circle in nothing but shorts, holds the world record for sitting in ice —at almost two hours— and has climbed Mt. Everest to the Death Zone point, also in shorts.

Narcissism is everywhere in today’s conversation.

Labeled, analyzed, and often condemned. But what if it isn’t simply dysfunction… what if it’s protection?

What if the traits we judge most harshly were once necessary for survival? And when we look at powerful figures like Donald Trump, are we seeing pathology... or the long shadow of early adaptation?

In this episode of the Align Podcast, Dr. Gabor Maté unpacks how childhood experiences shape identity, behavior, and health, revealing how trauma lives in the body and drives much of what we call personality.

This conversation opens a deeper lens on healing, connection, and what it really means to come back to yourself.
