Stimulation of short-term stress stimuli

When was the last time you felt truly hungry or thirsty? Open the fridge and indulge, as there is always food and drink readily available.

We adjust the knob on our heating or air conditioning system to achieve the desired temperature. Heating and/or cooling is still a luxury, as we always have personal control over it.

If you are still feeling slightly ill or experiencing minor symptoms of a cold, we promptly resort to medication and other remedies.

By creating an environment where we have access to every convenience, we have lost our primal wisdom.

Living in comfort makes us sick. While comfort is enjoyable, it can be detrimental to our bodies and brains..

Stronger mental & physical health

When considering the concept of intermittent living, one typically associates it with temporary stimuli such as exposure to cold, heat, thirst, hunger, intense physical exercise, cognitive challenges under time pressure, or oxygen stimuli.

The harmful effects and latent dangers of our current sedentary lifestyle, high-calorie diets and constant exposure to emotional stress and toxins pose a major challenge to our health. Dr Leo Pruimboom's concept offers scientific knowledge and practical advice to address the dormant dangers inherent in our modern society, whether you have specific health problems or are in good health. It is relevant to everyone. We act both preventive as protective and curative. It helps in preventing illness and facilitates the healing process when you are ill.

The concept brings us back one step closer to homo sapien. In many ways, ancient wisdom seems lost. It puts us back in touch with momentary primal stimuli such as cold, CO2, hunger, thirst and so much more.

Frequent and prolonged stays within your comfort zone leads to weakness, diminished cognitive abilities, and illness. Continual comfort in daily life contributes to an evolution from Homo sapiens to Homo fragilis.

What does the name intermittent living stand for?

The term stems from the fact that the stress stimuli we utilize are always brief in duration. If you encounter the same stress stimulus for an extended period or in a repetitive manner each day, it ceases to be a stimulus and loses its efficacy.

You may be inclined to think, "Isn't stress something we should avoid? It's not healthy," right? However, we are specifically referring to acute stress rather than chronic stress. The stressors we employ are hormetic stimuli that have traditionally safeguarded our health.

One prominent example within this approach is intermittent fasting, where periods of fasting are incorporated. intermittent fasting, where you will fast periodically.

Are you desiring to become healthier, stronger, more resilient, intelligent, motivated, flexible, and energetic? In short, more attuned to your human nature? Intermittent living is the path to embrace!

The positive effects of Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent Fasting dictates not what you eat but when and how long you eat and don't eat. Of all the options we can do to extend our lifespan, periodic fasting is one of the most effective. Fasting means not eating calories. When you fast and stop eating then a superpower is released. When there is enough food, our body stores the extra energy in the form of fat, under the house and around internal organs.

Did you know that intermittent fasting is essential for healthy aging? A high-calorie diet, emotional stress and thousands of other toxins put your immune system and health to the test every day. In a world where so many people overeat, intermittent fasting is a simple tool for living longer and healthier lives. Read more about intermittent fasting through our dedicated article.

Questions and answers

Intermittent Living encompasses the principle of rediscovering ancient wisdom and integrating intermittent stimuli into our daily routines. This concept includes various interventions, such as Intermittent Fasting, Intermittent Drinking, Intermittent Heat and Cold Exposure, Intermittent Hypercapnia, Intermittent Hypoxia, and more. By embracing these practices, we can unlock the potential benefits they offer and enhance our overall well-being.

Intermittent Fasting is an intervention in which you periodically fast, alternating between periods of fasting and eating.

Intermittent Cognitive Pressure involves experiencing cognitive challenges under time pressure, stimulating your mind and improving mental sharpness, thinking ability, memory, and creativity.

This concept involves exposing oneself to cold stimuli, such as cold showers and immersing in ice baths, which offer numerous benefits for both mental and physical health. These benefits include activating the immune system, improving blood flow, and enhancing focus and alertness. 

If you would like to learn more about this, we invite you to visit the page dedicated to our Cold workshop Here, we provide in-depth knowledge about this concept and offer an immersive experience with all the stimuli involved.

Intermittent Drinking refers to the conscious experience of periods of thirst and the implementation of specific drinking times in your daily life. This concept involves not constantly drinking but rather exposing yourself to periods of thirst and then hydrating in a controlled manner. It is a form of intermittent stimulus that reflects the ancient wisdom of our human existence. By practicing intermittent drinking, you activate certain regulatory systems in your body that promote health and increase your awareness of your drinking habits.

Intermittent Sleep, also known as polyphasic sleep, is a concept that involves adjusting your sleep patterns in a cyclical and flexible manner. Instead of following a traditional uninterrupted sleep of 7-8 hours at night, you alternate between periods of sleep. For instance, you may occasionally wake up at 3 am. 

The concept of intermittent sleep is based on the understanding that our sleep patterns were naturally flexible in the past. Many traditional societies did not adhere to strict sleep hours but rather adjusted their sleep patterns based on factors such as daylight, activities, and rest times.

By adopting intermittent sleep, you leverage the different sleep stages and natural cycles of your body. This approach can lead to improved sleep quality, increased alertness and energy levels throughout the day, and an enhanced ability to quickly fall asleep and wake up feeling refreshed.

Intermittent Living is the culmination of Dr. Leo Pruimboom's pioneering research. All interventions implemented during the workshops are firmly rooted in scientific evidence and have undergone extensive testing.

"The use of ancient challenges as a vaccine against the deleterious effects of modern life - A hypothesis"

Intermittent Living is practiced by integrating intermittent stimuli, such as fasting, thirst, heat, cold, and more, into your daily routine. 

Intermittent Living has significant positive effects on our health. By incorporating intermittent stimuli such as intermittent fasting, intermittent drinking, intermittent hypercapnia, intermittent hypoxia, and intermittent movement, we enhance our immune system, improve our metabolism, boost our mental acuity, increase our energy levels, and regulate our body weight.

Moreover, intermittent living helps reduce inflammation, enhance blood sugar regulation, and promote improved focus and concentration.
