I know that the name ‘brown fat’ doesn’t sound particularly appealing, but it’s the good type of fat that helps to burn calories, and keep us healthy. When I started to read about brown fat and its role in preventing obesity, I became convinced that the Wim Hof Method had genuinely helped to speed my metabolism up as well as improving my immune system. It would have been interesting to see what my reading would have been prior to the Wim Hof Method - I have a feeling it would have been much higher, as everyone else’s was pretty accurate. When people sign up, they get all sorts of readings done which includes weight, height, BMI, blood pressure, as well as less obvious readings such as estimated metabolic age.ĭuring one session, I also got to see what my readings were and discovered that I had an estimated metabolic age 15 years younger than my actual age which is 29, which makes my metabolism only 14 years old!


I currently work part time doing exercise with children, for an organisation that helps get obese children and adults healthy again.

You can read the full article here: Brown fat may protect against diabetes and obesity My own experiences with brown fat and practising the Wim Hof MethodĪbout five weeks into practising the Wim Hof method - which included breathing exercises, immersing myself in cold temperatures as well as doing daily physical exercises - I had some body readings done by a nutritionist. The article goes on to say that as we age, we have less of a need for brown fat, and as a result, the brown fat gets replaced with white fat (the bad kind of fat) which causes us to put on more weight as we get older. Brown fat compensates by burning calories to create heat.” I also found a recent NHS article on brown fat, which states that “brown fat is found mostly in newborns, who are more prone to heat loss and are unable to shiver to keep themselves warm. Hof also explains that brown fat plays an important role in maintaining body temperature in animals and humans, and interestingly, obese people have very little of it. What is brown fat? “A dark-coloured adipose tissue with many blood vessels, involved in the rapid production of heat in hibernating animals and human babies.” - Google dictionary definitionĪccording to Wim Hof, brown adipose is a type of fat tissue that produces heat and can help to significantly prevent and fight obesity. In this post, I’d like to introduce a new Wim Hof breathing exercise called the ‘Brown fat activation technique’. In my last post, I wrote about the main Wim Hof Method breathing exercise that I’ve been practising every day for the last nine weeks. It could be a help in the fight against obesity, diabetes and heart problems.” - Prof Sir Stephen Bloom, Imperial College London “If we activate brown fat, we can eat more and not gain weight.
