Sisters Isabelle and Laura Hof have been practising and teaching the
Wim Hof Method for most of their lives. Science-backed and potentially
life-changing, the method focuses on three pillars – breathing, cold
therapy and mindset – which 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 cold – and just the
cure to reinvigorate and restore you in body, mind and spirit.

James Randi leaves a towering legacy as an internationally known
magician, escape artist, and devoted investigator of the
paranormal, occult, and supernatural claims that have captured the
thinking of the public for generations. From ESP and psychokinesis,
psychic detectives, levitation, psychic surgery, and even UFOs and
astrology, Randi dedicated his life to exposing frauds and
swindlers. Forty years after the original publication of his
landmark book, Flim-Flam! remains a classic, with insights that are
still relevant today – and perhaps even more so. In this timeless
and timely book, Randi famously explores and exposes outrageous
deceptions that plague our minds and media. Unafraid to call
researchers to account for their failures and impostures, Randi
tells us that we have been badly served by scientists who have
failed to follow the procedures required by their training and
traditions. Mr. Randi provides readers with a compelling and
convincing document that will startle and enlighten all who
continue to seek out the truth.
Journalist Sarah Bullen and her filmmaker husband Llewellyn seemed like a golden couple, with successful careers and two lovely children. But then Llewellyn discovers that he has a brain tumour. As he pursues a shamanic path to fight the cancer, they are catapulted into a world of ritual and ceremony. With hospitals, surgery and treatments comes a wilder journey of spiritual searching. Then the
impossible happens: she falls ill. While in a coma, Sarah travels through near-death and into other realms and worlds.
She comes back with a message and a spark to follow – to choose
joy over fear. It becomes a roadmap to allow her to write a new life
story and call in a new way of living rooted in bliss, joy and love.
Taking us from Hout Bay to the Mediterranean and back, Sarah’s
story is in turn sad, funny and magical, filled with laughter and
tears. From African rituals in the bush to a Greek island of sex and
celebration, Love & Above is filled with wild rapture and infinite
possibility.
Ten protocols to counteract the “chronic ease” that creates our modern
epidemic of dis-ease, from a wellness industry leader who can prove
they work―because he’s tested them on himself.
Jeff Krasno, the founder and CEO of the global wellness platform
Commune Media, thought he was pretty healthy. Though he suffered from
brain fog, chronic fatigue, and bouts of insomnia, those symptoms
seemed utterly normal in today’s society. When he learned he had
diabetes, his first thought was, How can that be? I run a wellness
company!
His diagnosis propelled him to interview 300 doctors and engage in
endless “me-search” in order to turn his health around. On this
journey, he began to form a larger picture of what’s wrong with our
health in the modern world. In Good Stress, he shares what he’s learned
and outlines a practical program for readers to reset their own health.
Jeff explains that the comforts and conveniences of modern life in the
developed world undermine our biology. Humans evolved with Paleolithic
stressors and scarcity, which conferred health and resilience.
Modern life sets us up for diabetes, dementia, heart disease, cancer,
and more. Chronic disease is the result of chronic ease: an endless
abundance of calories, sedentary desk jobs, exposure to blue light, and
separation from nature. To come back into balance, we need to
thoughtfully subject our bodies and minds to the stressors we’re
naturally built for.
This book distills the hundreds of conversations that Jeff has had with
acclaimed teachers and practitioners in mind-body wellness, including
Gabor Maté, Mark Hyman, Marianne Williamson, and Sharon Salzberg. In
Good Stress, Jeff gives readers uncommonly wise and relatable guidance
for 10 practices, including:
· Time-restricted eating
· Cold and heat exposure
· Light therapy
· Eating “stressed plants”
· Building our “psychological immune system” and more
For each practice, Jeff shares his own experience (there’s a great
story of how Wim Hof finally convinced him to get into an ice bath);
unpacks the science behind it, the place it has in our culture, and the
effects it has on body and mind; and explains how to undertake it
safely and mindfully.
