Sinopsis

We recently talked to Scott Carney, author of the recently published What doesn’t kill us (get the audiobook!). In it he investigates and subjects himself to cold, ice baths and other rather unusual training regimens, and discusses the detrimental effects of the comfort of our modern lives on our physical and mental health. He also goes on adventures, although with a sceptical mindset ever present, with the dutch “iceman” Wim Hof. It is a book about human biology and evolution, the possible causes and treatments of many of our modern day illnesses, and about realising that there is a lot of hidden comfort to be found in going beyond our comfort zone.    We didn't get into all the specifics of the breathing techniques and other methods, mostly because this has been covered in great detail in interviews on other podcasts. Just google "scott carney podcast" for more on this. We believe our episode is still worth a listen after having heard some of these.    Scott has also written two more books, The Red Market
