and improving your relationships. In this shorter, giftier, and

relationships with others, and how to use this wisdom to live life
with more clarity, peace, and insight than you ever thought
possible. If you are type SEVEN, find out more about yourself and
others today and get started on the journey to better understand

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.

IT'S NOT YOU. IT'S YOUR BIOLOGY.
Modern society is plagued by health epidemics: obesity, record levels of loneliness, increasing mental health problems and various forms of addiction. From the outside, all these issues might seem unrelated. But a single phenomenon actually ties them all together: superstimuli.
Superstimuli are exaggerated, unnatural versions of things we have evolved to want and need such as food, sex and social recognition. This hard wired evolutionary response is why we binge on fake ultra-processed food, lust after airbrushed people online, and struggle to stop scrolling on social media, even when it makes us feel bad. Our lack of control isn't because we are weak. It's because powerful companies spend billions creating superstimuli that manipulate our biology for profit, leaving us unhealthy and unhappy as a consequence.
Super Stimulated shows how we can resist this hijacking of our natural instincts, recognise superstimulus traps, and take control of our bad habits to live longer, healthier lives.
