Reducing Anxiety + Stopping Panic Attacks with the Wim Hof Method
Reducing Anxiety + Stopping Panic Attacks with the Wim Hof Method
My journey with anxiety has been rocky, at times it has been debilitating. In 2018, I was having daily panic attacks. It’s what led me to choose the words Rest + Deep Nourishment for my words of 2019. These words changed my life and I created the Show Up Fully Method: Rest, Deep Nourishment, Movement, Mindfulness and Water. You can learn more & get the free Show Up Fully challenge here
I used to have a very elaborate morning that I got up at 4:30 am to do: Journal, mediation, lemon water, workout, more mediation etc. I haven’t been able to stick with it consistently lately. It’s felt off and it was becoming exhausting (when it was supposed to be relaxing).
I came across the Wim Hof Method years ago on a podcast but I wasn’t ready to commit back then. It saw Wim again, on the Goop Lab on Netflix. I was blown away by a woman that beat her panic attacks and decreased her medication for anxiety.
I decided to try the Wim Hof Method myself. The results have been incredible! My anxiety that used to be a 10/10 is now most days a 1/10 or zero. For a person that has suffered from panic attacks, that’s insane! I have been talking to so many people about it. I decided to write a guide, if you are interested in trying it too!
I am so curious! Keep me posted if you decide to commit and try this as well. I am an email or DM on Instagram away at @chefcarlacontreras

Feliz Latinè Heritage Month! It’s celebrated September 15th through October 15th. I am a proud Latinè, my father is from Chile. I am excited to share my heritage through a paid partnership with Pinterest this month. One of the deepest ways I’ve connected with my Latinè heritage is by drinking ceremonial cacao daily. It’s a plant medicine that has been drunk for thousands of years by the Olmecs, the Mayans, the Toltecs, the Aztecs, the Incas, and other cultures. It’s known as a heart opener and it’s cracked mine wide open to opportunities and the potential of my life.
