3 days, just water, salt, coffee and good vibes

Here is a long form uncut story of my three day water fast, and fasting in general.

Worth a listen if you are curious about fasting or you like guys with mullets.

Stay tuned for more content like this, but with even better mullets…

…also better sound, lighting and in shorter format.

WE GOT THIS 🥩🥦

See you at Camp! 🔥🥶🥰

I’m returning to camp for my second year, this time as a facilitator.

This incredible festival combines the best elements of community, celebration and wellness in a way that’s hard to communicate in just words… it is such a vibe!

You have to come experience it for yourself!

We are so back ✂️

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gail Nancy Brown, who left us peacefully in Toronto on Tuesday, November 26th, 2024, at the age of 68. A beloved resident of Orillia, Gail was the cherished wife of the late William “Bill” Phelps Brown, and devoted and loving mother of William “Billy” James Brown, her pride and joy.

Gail is also survived by her sister Joy McKay of Huntsville, brother Brent Malec of Orillia and brother-in-law Bob Brown (Diane) of Orillia, as well as her nieces and nephews: Nathan, Jessica, Courtney, Falon, Shawn, Shannon, and Magin. Predeceased by her parents Stanley and Sylvia Malec, and sister-in-law, Nancy Brown.

Gail’s life was filled with creativity, passion, and a love for bringing people together. She had a gift for cooking and hosting, making holidays and family gatherings truly special. Her grace, attention to detail, and warmth was felt by all. Through her plethora of photos and videos, she captured invaluable memories, leaving a treasured legacy for generations to come.

She served as navigator on beloved family boating trips to Georgian Bay, her family’s favourite place in the world. When the family vessel, Footloose, wasn’t on trip, you could find it cruising Lakes Couchiching and Simcoe, loaded with passengers, music blaring and laughter resounding.

Music was another passion Gail shared with Bill. Together they filled their home with treasured musical moments, singing and dancing with dear friends.

Gail shared a deep bond with the family’s cherished pets: Norman, Dekker, Cocoa, and Buster Brown, her closest companion who brought her endless joy.

Following the loss of her husband, Gail found new joy in golf and curling, forming lasting friendships at the Orillia Curling Club, where her creative flair made it a second home.

Diving into the latest scientific research of the Wim Hof Method 👨‍🔬🥶

More and more research is being done to explain the power of practicing the 3 pillars: breath, cold and commitment.

Today on our global WHM Instructor Acdemy webinar, we are learning from a key researcher about the power of willpower combined with intentional breathing and cold exposure.

I’m going to have to watch the recording on this one as it’s very in depth and nerdy. For the science-oriented folks, this kind of information is what will sell them on the method, however as Wim says, “feeling is understanding.”

Essentially, this research is showing how simply by willing ourselves to feel warm, we can create actual change in the body and create more warmth.

Wim first demonstrated that the focused mind is capable of controlling the temperature of the body in the “Brain Over Body” study. He was placed in an fMRI scanner and wore a cold water suit. His brain activity was measured as he began to warm himself up.

This is hard to understand from the outside, because it sounds like superpowers. However, it is this very technique that allowed Wim Hof to set over 20 Guinness world records and teach thousands upon thousands how to be their own medicine cabinet.

I can’t wait to offer all of my new learning to you this cold season as we dive even deeper into the practice of intentional, cold exposure and breathing modulation, coupled with interoceptive refocussing.

I am so grateful to be a part of this global community of Wim Hof Method instructors, leading the charge into sustainable wellness for everybody who chooses to participate.

Stay tuned for my Fall and Winter offerings about to drop very soon!

All the Love
All the Power

GROUP COLD PLUNGE A BIG SUCCESS!

Man! What a beautiful time shared by over 40 adults and children on Sunday at .events held at .acres .

This small, family oriented festival was such a unique experience and a perfect way for parents and their children to share a truly unforgettable experience.

For the first time ever I guided kids (with their parents) through Wim Hof Method breathwork followed by a group cold plunge in the coolest ice bath this side of the Jungle Book movie set.

We used over 300 kg of block ice to ensure the water was frigid, just the way we like it!

Huge shout out to for her tireless efforts over many years to organize and execute such a beautiful experience! Also big shout out to for working with me to coordinate pickup from their manufacturing centre in .

The best news is I will be running this workshop again at 2 more festivals this year!

Stay tuned for more pictures of this incredible experience and the announcement of the future festivals.

Are you organizing an event in which a group breathwork and/or cold plunge facilitated by me would be a hit? I can travel to you, and even bring my 8-person wood-fired barrel sauna for your group’s enjoyment.

I truly live for this stuff. So please reach out and let others know I will deliver, INCLUDING THE ICE!

🧊🧡💪

Howdy Folks!

It’s been a busy and playful Summer for me, full of wellness/music festivals.

Check out this incredible wellness/music festival I’ll be teaching, chilling and partying at this weekend: .events

I’ll be teaching— you guessed it— the WIM HOF METHOD! We’ll combine a powerful breathwork practice with the biggest cold plunge pool ever, able to fit at least 15 brave humans.

There will be a ton of engaging wellness and movement workshops during the day, followed by talented acoustic and electronic musical artists by night. Also, food is included in the ticket price, which is incredible!

This is going to be so much fun!

Won’t you join us?

Celebrating barefoot life and donating old shoes!

I absolutely LOVE being barefoot.

I workout barefoot, I cold plunge and walk on ice/snow barefoot, and I garden barefoot.

Outside of these times guess what else I often am? You guessed it— BAREFOOT!

But if you think I am barefoot a lot get this:
I was at in February with a great view of the sidewalk on Main Street Orillia and I saw this person walk by. My eyes immediately noticed this person wasn’t wearing any shoes. I knew instantly that it was !!

Excitedly, I jumped out of my chair and clambered out the door in my steel toed insulated rubber boots I often wear in the winter (esp when cutting ice holes on the lake).

Standing with her on the sidewalk, cold wind whipping, and the juxtaposition of our footwear in February was striking, hilarious and inspiring. Barefoot Sue’s commitment to barefooting is like no one else’s I know!

So come meet this wild woman who also happens to be my Wim Hof Method mentor.

She is a cherished soul in my life, and I’m so happy to support her mission in de-stigmatizing being barefoot!

Barefooting offers us so many benefits from physical to mental to spiritual! It’s a true holistic practice that supports our health deeply.

Come try it out in an urban setting and build confidence and familiarity while learning tons from one of my favourite teachers!

See you at the Saturday June 1 at 2 pm!
