Sisters Isabelle and Laura Hof have been practicing and teaching the Wim Hof Method for most of their lives. Science-backed and potentially life-changing, the method focuses on three pillarsbreathing, cold therapy, and mindsetwhich can result in increased energy, better sleep, a strengthened immune system, and more. While the method works for everyone, it has unique physical and mental health benefits for women.

Inspired by the potential of the method, Isabelle and Laura started the Icewomen community, devoted to unlocking the power of these practices. In this empowering book they invite all women to join the community, and share the groundbreaking research behind the benefits, from improving mental health, boosting confidence, and balancing hormones to enhancing hair and skin health and having a positive impact on pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause, and more. Secrets of the Icewomen 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
• learn 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, cold water therapy is being discovered and embraced by women everywhere.

With this book, Isabelle and Laura make the practices more accessible than ever. 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 coldand just the cure to reinvigorate and restore you in body, mind, and spirit.

Rezensionen

"Women have been told for too long that there are things we can't do because we're 'too fragile' or 'that's just for men.' Secrets of the Icewomen is not only a useful guide to a life-improving practice; it is a reminder of what we as women are capable of. We can do hard things, even if we don't feel like it. Sometimes the results we are looking for lie in the work we are avoiding. This is a must-read for every woman who wants to feel stronger, happier, and more confident in her body." - DR. STEPHANIE ESTIMA, women's health and performance expert and author of The Betty Body

"Secrets of the Icewomen not only shares important research on a valuable healing practice; it does the much harder and more important work of breaking down the barriers for entry to that practice for all of us. Filled with advice that is easy to implement and stories that are a joy to read, this book offers a refreshing and empowering approach to women's health." - DR. ANDREW WEIL, founder and director of the University of Arizona Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine

"The work my daughters have shown through this book makes me not only strongly proud, but has also melted me. They have carried on a legacy without fear, serving humanity. What else can the Iceman wish for? I am the proudest of fathers to see the important work they are doing for women everywhere." - WIM HOF, New York Times bestselling author of The Wim Hof Method
