Yes and no. He's had scientists do tests on him and it does activate different parts of your brain.
Most scams like these will find a quack doctor to say they have studies to support their claims.
You can't trust the website of the program. Find independent studies.
I'm not saying this is a scam. I don't know anything about it. I'm just saying, "he's had scientists do tests" is not any kind of real confirmation. You absolutely shouldn't trust it at face value.
Not to mention, even if these are somewhat legit studies and findings, is there also proof that "activating different parts of your brain" is a good thing or effective in dealing with panic attacks?
Apparently, Wim can influence his autonomic nervous system at will, or so he says. I think I know the real reason. Hear me out, when I do buteyko, it releases nitric oxide, which widens your blood vessels, and thickens the blood. Thicker blood means warmer body temperature. I could be way off, though.
