Anyone familiar with the Wim Hof breathing method?

I've been doing it first thing in the morning for about a month now. Almost right away, I noticed a marked improvement in sugar cravings and overall anxiety/depression levels. Like I've just been generally more chill since incorporating it into my routine?? It's even helped me get through a migraine

THAT BEING SAID it's pretty intense, so...I hesitate to recommend it to people without a bunch of caveats: You need to listen to your body, perform the exercises while sitting or lying down, stop immediately if you start feeling unwell, etc

But I really do love the way it makes me feel overall. There are 10-minute guided breathing sessions on YouTube if anyone is curious
