The Ultimate Guide to Saunas: Are They Worth The Hype?
Saunas have been used for over 2000 years. And whether you go traditional and opt for a dry sauna or lean into the new tech of infrared - they’re a staple of Finnish culture for good reason.
Some of the leading causes of mortality in the US and other first world countries are heart disease, stroke, alzheimer's and cancer.
We’re told these diseases are just an inevitable part of aging. And while, yes, the older you get the more likely you are to get them - they’re not certain. Especially if you can find ways to reduce oxidative stress, which is the causing agent of aging.
Join me in this latest solo episode as I explore how sauna use can increase longevity and improve your quality of life from the first use. From reducing the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's to helping reduce stress, improve sleep, ease symptoms of depression and anxiety…the list of benefits goes on and on.
In this episode, I dive into…
(00:00) Sauna therapy’s cardiovascular and longevity benefits
(09:42) The detoxification and stress benefits of regular sauna use
(18:11) Sauna bathing for Alzheimer's and Dementia prevention
(25:19) Infrared and dry sauna - which is better?
…and more!
