Billy Wong is Co-founder of the branding agency Brandjoy, specialized in brand identity and interior design. He is also a functional movement practitioner as part of his fitness training. He has been practicing breathwork and cold shower daily to strengthen his immune system for the past 3 years. He is alive and strong in Cape Town, South Africa, previously living Chengdu.
Billy and I became fast friends with our shared passion for design and mindfulness. In this episode, Billy shares his fitness journey and how he got introduced to the Wim Hof Method, which is a combination of meditation, breathing exercises, and exposure to cold that help regulate stress levels.
He talks about how Wim Hof makes the mind calm and sharp. With more oxygen going to the cells, the lizard brain quiets down and the mind becomes less reactive. The conversation also goes into the power of completing challenges with groups, and the mindset of adapting your fitness routine to where you’re at. He also tells stories with ice baths and how old people can be surprisingly fit.
