So... saw this thingamaboo on reddit.
Dled the Show..
5-10 minutes in, Tp4 be like, This is a cult, this is a collective of rich people who didn't learn what they were suppose to learn in skoo..
Then, it got to the part where -- the office (goop office) members -- went to Jamaica and took mushrooms.
Tp4 decided, hckkk it' FriDay, So Tp4 got reallllll Drunk.. 5 shot straight of Chinese Diesel (Maotai)..
Watchn' these yuppie people do mushrooms.
Tp4 deduces 2 scenarios.
Pschedelics + (other, non-reward centric) drugs.
If you take a car, hook up the exhaust to the Intake, The engine's borked, it will not run, and it may break.
However, IF you took the exhaust, hooked it up to Turbo Chargers compressing the intake air, NOW you have a beneficial set of cirucmstzns.
If the exploration is to find such a scenario , then the pharmacology would be valid, if it's recreational, which is the common condition of use, it's probably not helpful.
RIgh... ??
Fffff.....
That or gwyneth paltrow is a psycho SJW feminist farming vulnerable broken women for labor and cash pyramid.

They film this show, and it wouldn't do good for anyone to say, hey the breathing thing is bs, and it didn't work,
They're forced to make up a profound story around the experience, otherwise the validity would be questioned.

His First wife, allegedly had trauma/fear/depression, got worse through conventional treatment, 1995, she jumped from 8 stories down.
He says, this lead to his soul search, which lead to the Iceman thing.
/Raises eyebrow.. hrrrm... surly people question this ..

hrrmrmrmmrmrr....
So the purpose of this Wim Hof method, is to gain control of autonomic stress responses of the body, through exposing the body to Extreme physical stress (colD).
Dulling an autonomic response as a form of control.... Mmmmmmmmmmmm... ehhhhhhhhhh.....
I do see the value in circumstances which the autonomic response is strongly disproportion8 2 the actual live consequences, such as a PTSD episode while eatn' chez cak.
Buh... this alkaline thing, and the breathing, this is making me nervous.

Jus tried it,
Breathed for 10 minutes..
Went outside in Tshirt, n000pp.. turned butt right around, cold as ff..
thats'nuff that
-
Kind of dizzy now.....
-
Hrrrmmm.. I don't think this is as life changing as the show is makn' ih out to be.
Russian heroin addicts can have their legs amputated without anesthesia. So.... that's prolly an xtreme form of the adaptation in dulling autonomic responses.. But of course in that context, it's more of a sickness.,

Seeing, spots.. must be drn'kin lil 2fast.

Woke up jus now, Unfortunately, didn't forget forget about episode 3.. <shudders>
Final thoughts:
Yea, this show is definitely designed to prey on vulnerable women.
The message overall seems to be, "feminism", but the products pushed are all conventional Vanity balms sold through fear mongering and triggering of common insecurities.
This is either, abuse of feminism, or possibly more simply idiocy.
Epi 4 is about Youth-Rejuvenation diets
Epi 5 is about Energy Healers
Epi 6 is about Psychic Mediums
So.... one can clearly see the direction this has went.
