Want to become a SUPER HUMAN?!
Hey EF Fam,
I am just finishing up a retreat in the Spanish Pyrenees where I learned some powerful techniques that have the ability to improve people lives dramatically. I did a video with the retreat leader, Wim Hof, who is world famous for his super human abilities. Most people don’t believe when I tell them some of the feats this guy has done but you don’t have to believe me because he has had all of them recorded and can be found simply by google-ing him.
In this video with Wim Hof, high on top of a mountain in the Spanish Pyrenees, I demonstrate a simple Wim Hof breathing technique that can:
- Boost the immune system
- Reduce inflammation
- Activate the natural healing mechanisms
- Instantly reduce anxiety
- Relieve depression
- Open up the detox pathways
- Activate all the happy neurochemicals in the brain
- Relieve headaches
- Help eliminate back pain
- Make you super human
The list of benefits go on and on and on, and I am living proof. After only a couple days with Wim I was able to spend 15 minutes in 30 degree water 2 days in a row after performing these techniques. Cold water training is another technique he uses to improve health.
This is all backed by science. If you saw my video on the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, these breathing techniques are like having your own hyperbaric oxygen chamber except it is FREE and anyone can do it at anytime!
Done consistently these techniques can have profound effects in all areas of your life.
Technique 1 (retention breathing)
- In one breath, breath into your belly, then your chest then your head like a wave then exhale by just relaxing the body and breath in again in the same pattern
- Repeat the breathing about 40 times or until lightheaded (based on feeling)
- Take 2 deep inhales and on the last full exhale hold your breath at the end of the exhalation until you feel the need to breath
- Then take a deep breath in and hold for 15-30 second putting pressure to you neck area.
- Then repeat as needed
CLICK HERE to check out the video, try out a few rounds of the breathing technique and let me know what you think by leaving a comment with your feedback.
Committed to your success,

Hyperbaric Chamber (HBOT)
Hey EF Fam,
Have you ever heard of hyperbaric oxygen therapy also known as HBOT? I just finished my 15th session at Hyperbaric Therapy Of The Low-Country in Hilton Head SC.
Not many people know about this amazing therapy and it’s massive benefits. Some say it is a secret anti aging technique used by Hollywood to look and feel younger. The more oxygen we can get to the body the better off we are, that is why exercise is so beneficial. Lack of oxygen is the #1 threat to the brain and body.
If you increase oxygen you increase the health of every cell and all functions of the body.
“Tissues in the body require an adequate oxygen supply for normal functioning and even more to survive injury. HBOT increases the amount of oxygen the blood can carry, which raises or temporarily restores normal levels of blood gases and tissue function to promote healing and to fight infection… Apart from its medically recommended uses, I’ve seen HBOT promoted as a cure for cancer, a treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome, a way to reduce allergy symptoms as well as a beneficial measure for persons with AIDS, arthritis, sports injuries, multiple sclerosis, autism, stroke, cerebral palsy, senility, cirrhosis, Lyme disease, and ulcers.” Dr. Weil
If you live in Hilton Head/ Beaufort area and you are interested in trying this out, let me know and I can give you the details of the place that I go to.
Committed to your success,
Ian

Importance of mobility drills and warming up
Coach Stephen talking about the importance of mobility drills and warming up.
The warm up is important. It’s going to activate the nervous system, get more synovial fluid to our joints, it’s gonna increase our heart rate and blood flow to the working muscles when we do the mobility, activation or warm up drills. It’s gonna psychologically prepare us for the training and going to increase our strength, endurance, mobility, flexibility, stability. At EarthFIT, the Beaufort personal trainers keep you safe, less joint aches and pains, and more results.
Cryptocurrencies and Cryotherapy
Hey EF Fam,
There is a revolution on the rise and its name is cryptocurrency.
Have you heard of these?
You have probably heard some rumblings in the news about cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.
You might be thinking, why would the owner of a fitness business be sending me an email about cryptocurrencies?
There are a bunch of reasons. One reason is because it is the wave of the future and EarthFIT is always on the cutting edge. The other reasons are listed below.
Brain Singer of William Blair & Co. says bitcoin
“Has a greater ability to bring more of the world population out of poverty than anything we have ever seen”.
If that isn’t a good enough reason, I don’t know what is.
This fundamental change to the payment system will allow the power to be transferred back to the people
instead of the current financial system.
- Image having your own secure bank in the palm of your hands, literally.
- Image no banking fees
- image sending money instantly across the world without filling out any paperwork or paying any fees.
- Imagine exchanging money securely back and forth with a loved one across the world like you were chating on instant messenger
- Image people who live in an unstable country who are able to put there money into the blockchain technology and not have to worry about the political climate, inflation, the unstable economy, changing regimes etc.
- If you are business owner, imagine paying no transaction fees, imagine the bank not holding onto your funds, imagine not having to wait days for processing.
- Imagine buying things online in 2 seconds just by waving your phone (wallet) in front of the computer.
?The other reason I am emailing you is because the last bullet point you can now do at EarthFIT!
I am very happy to announce we are now accepting bitcoin at EarthFIT!
Now… I know that means nothing to most people but I am hoping it will mean a lot to everyone in the near future and I believe it will.
To see a simple example of how bitcoin payments work click here? and enter any random number, your name and email and hit submit it and see what pops up.
You would make a payment just by waving your bitcoin id from your phone in front of that code.
People always ask me how do I buy bitcoins. It is not always the easiest but the best way I have found is buying them ———> on COINBASE?
?You don’t have to buy full bitcoins, you can buy a fraction of them. Since I bought my first bitcoin over a year ago I have seen the value increase by almost 400% and it won’t be stopping anytime soon as the experts predict in the video I shared above.
CLICK HERE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BUYING? BITCOIN.
I told my dad to make the move on bitcoin a long time ago and he didn’t. He is now kicking himself. You don’t want to end up like that 🙂
Committed to your success,
Ian

Detox and why it is Vital for Fitness
If you’re passionate about fitness, you know how important maintaining good overall health is to achieving your athletic goals. A strong metabolism, efficient immune system, and well-nourished body are key when you’re hoping to log significant hours at the gym – but with all the toxins we’re exposed to in our modern lives, we end up feeling lethargic, irritable, and bloated. And no one wants to go to the gym feeling like that.
Stress, animal protein, alcohol and caffeine, and processed foods can wreak havoc inside our bodies – but engaging in a healthy detox can help get you back on track and ready to tackle new fitness obstacles. There are a number of reasons why detox is such an important, healthy practice for everyone, but athletes in particular will find that participating in a regular detox is an essential activity.
- Detox promotes healthy eating habits.
If you’re the kind of person who likes to hit the gym to make up for a bad diet, detox could be just what you need to fix your eating habits once and for all. Most detox diets will require you to reduce your intake of unhealthy foods and replace them with more nutrient-rich options.
While you can always return to your regular diet after the detox is over, most people find that after the initial withdrawal period is over, it’s easier to find the motivation to maintain the new healthier eating plan.
- Detox stimulates the immune system.
Your body will be better prepared to fight off illnesses and infections that might keep you from working out with a regular detox. Cleansing your body of toxins and impurities allows your organs to more easily absorb the nutrients you need, and helps restore balance to all your body’s functions.
With a stronger immune system, your body will be able to support you as you pursue greater physical fitness – and you won’t need to be as concerned about recovery time or healing after an injury.
- Detox increases energy levels.
When you find yourself skipping the gym in favor of spending an extra hour or two in bed, it might be time to think about engaging in a detox. Thanks to the increased nutrients your body will be absorbing, and the healthier diet choices you’ll make during a detox, you’ll find yourself feeling revitalized and more energetic.
The detox will also promote enhanced mental clarity, which will increase your energy levels as well. You can maintain this stimulated feeling by continuing with the detox diet and limiting your intake of sugar-rich foods.
- Detox boosts weight loss.
If your fitness goals are tied to weight loss, detox is a great way to jumpstart the process – help you get past a plateau if you’ve been struggling to get back on track. It’s not just about reduced calories, though. The toxins that accumulate in your body can actually lead to excess fat and mucous, which your body will use to protect your body from the waste.
Detox will enhance your digestive system, boost your metabolism, and reduce bloating, as well – all of which will contribute to healthy, regular weight loss.
- Detox reduces stress.
Stress is one of the most toxic things you can do to your body, and regular stress management practices have proven to lower fatty acid levels and even cholesterol in the blood. A detox can help equip your body with everything it needs to fight the impacts of stress, allowing you to feel more confident and optimistic.
You’ll enjoy a better mood and more relaxed outlook with regular detox practice – and everyone else in your life will benefit from your calmness, as well. Exercise also helps keep stress manageable, so when you combine detox with your regular fitness regimen, you’ll achieve even greater results.
A regular detox can help rejuvenate your entire system – liver, colon, kidneys, brain, skin, lungs, and heart – and brings with it a host of additional health benefits. If you’re aiming to break some personal records and achieve optimum fitness levels, this can be just the thing you need to give you the strength and endurance to get there. Don’t let your health get in the way of your goals – let detox put you on the right path to wellness.

Keeping Oneself Motivated to Go to the Gym
When you first make the commitment to start going to the gym, it seems like it should be an easy task. However, it only takes a few distractions before life starts to get in the way. It’s tempting to spend that extra hour sleeping, or catching up on your favorite show, or meeting friends for a drink after work. And when you’re not seeing the results you had hoped for, it certainly can feel like you might as well throw in the towel. If other people can do it, why can’t you?
Luckily, there are some quick, easy habits you can get into to maintain that drive to stay active, day after day. If you’re looking to keep yourself motivated to go to the gym, try incorporating some of these tips – you might find the encouragement you need to stay on track and achieve your fitness goals.
- Track your progress.
Whether you decide to invest in a smart watch, use an app on your phone, or just log each workout on your calendar, keeping track of your exercise gives you the chance to see improvements that might not show up on the scale. Maybe you can do more reps of each exercise, or you’re putting more miles on the treadmill in less time – celebrating these small victories is a great way to stay on track.
If you’re comfortable with it and you have a supportive network, share your progress on social media for even more encouragement and motivation.
- Exercise with friends.
You can take that idea a step further and find yourself a group of friends who are willing to hold you accountable for your fitness goals. Either recruit members of your family or friend network to hit the gym with you, or reach out to someone who seems to share your interest in health – maybe at a spin or yoga class.
If you can make your daily stop at the gym into a social outing where you can reconnect with friends or loved ones, you’ll find yourself looking forward to your workouts. And not only will you be building muscle – you’ll be building relationships.
- Convenience is key.
The more excuses you can find to get out the gym, the easier it gets to skip your workout each day. Maybe you only have one pair of jogging shorts, or you keep your gym bag tucked in the back of your closet – whatever it is, you’ll find a way to use it to get out of hitting the gym. Get yourself enough workout clothes to last the week without having to do laundry, and keep all your equipment within view.
If you can make going to the gym an easy part of your day – and one that’s hard to ignore – you’ll be much more motivated to keep it up.
- Build a routine.
For working out to become a habit, you need to make going to the gym and being active a normal part of your daily life. Not only should you schedule a time to hit the gym each day, you should find other ways to incorporate activity into your routine – take the stairs, walk around your office building during breaks, and park further away from the store when you pick up groceries.
The more ways you can make fitness a part of your routine, the more natural it will feel to spend that hour at the gym, every single day.
- Treat yourself.
Set realistic, achievable fitness goals – and don’t be afraid to reward yourself when you reach them. However, this doesn’t mean splurging on a big meal that’s going to undo all your hard work. Find treats that don’t involve food, like buying yourself a new pair of running shoes, getting yourself a massage, or take a day off work to spend some time doing your favorite hobby, guilt-free.
Whatever it is, let the promise of the next reward encourage you to work even harder at your next set of goals.
Hopefully, making some of these changes will make it easier for you to get in gear and keep yourself motivated to hit the gym. You can keep this list bookmarked or even printed out in a spot where you’ll see it regularly, to stay focused and working toward looking and feeling your best. Your health and fitness goals are within your reach – just keep that motivation up!

Saunas and How They Aid Detox
If you’ve had the experience of sitting in a sauna, either with a group of friends or alone in a quiet space, you’ll know that they leave you feeling less stressed, more energized, and probably even a little bit lighter. Saunas have been used for some time, although they’ve been modified from time to time in order to maximize the user’s experience.
There are a variety of conditions and health problems that can be helped through the regular use of a sauna. Recent studies have noted the difference in those who suffer from arthritis and fibromyalgia, and how drastically their symptoms were reduced even after the first few sessions. Although doctors don’t support the tradition of heading straight from the sauna into the snow bank for those with heart problems, they do notice that sauna can help improve the health of those who experience hypertension. Another recent study identified the increase in stamina of a group of runners (by a very significant 32%) after they’d been treated to a sauna session. Plasma and red cell volumes also showed signs of increasing by several percent. An experiment conducted at the University of Vienna showed that using a sauna can help to reduce your likelihood of catching the common cold. Out of 50 total subjects, 25 used the sauna regularly, and 25 did not. After a 6 month period, it was found that those using the sauna had far fewer colds than those who did not.
Another great benefit of using a sauna is the aspect of relaxation and the ability to de stress. Sitting in a sauna allows your body to release tension, and this is a great way to relieve the pain of sore and aching muscles. It also means that your mind has the chance to regroup and those who visit a sauna weekly noticed a change in their ability to fall asleep and remain sleeping throughout the entire night. In a fast paced life, it helps to have a place where stress is limited and relaxation is the key.
One of the greatest benefits, however, might just be the body’s ability to detox in a sauna. Our bodies are constantly bombarded with toxins, no matter how hard we try to live naturally and cleaner. Some of these toxins are easily controlled, while others are as a result of the environment around us. Your food supply can be controlled to a certain degree by you; if you grow your own food, or dedicate to locating and consuming only organic products, you’re doing your body a great service by not allowing the chemicals from processed foods and pesticides which are found in most of our fruits and veggies to contaminate your body. The cleaners in your home are another way in which you can control the toxins either invading or being eliminated. There are numerous natural ways in which to clean everything in your home, from top to bottom. The environment is a little trickier, as you cannot control the pollutants others put into the air. Barring a move to the middle of nowhere, you will be susceptible to the toxins of those around you.
There is plenty of research to back up the positive effects a sauna has on detoxifying the body. When you sweat copious amounts, the toxins that are stored in even the deeper layers of tissue pass up through fat and skin and out of your system. Circulation also increases, along with an improved oxygen supply. More oxygen means your body has an improved way of releasing toxins in the blood. Heavy metals, solvents, PCB’s, organic chemicals and pharmaceuticals can all be released from your body, giving your organs a chance to operate at their fullest capacity. The organs most affected by a detox include your kidneys, liver, and your digestive system. The largest organ in your body also benefits a great deal with a regular visit to a sauna; your skin.
When your body temperature heats up, your heart also starts to beat faster. It’s said that during a 30 minute session, you can burn up to 600 calories, meaning that while you detoxify, you can also lose weight.
Using a sauna can certainly have vast and far reaching benefits for your entire body, but take caution to start slow. Your first few sessions should only last a few minutes, progressively getting longer until you build up to a full 30 minutes per time.
