Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses her supplement routine, Neu5Gc risks, Repatha and diabetes, heat stress, osteoporosis in men, and plyometrics.

“Compared with one sauna session per week, four to seven weekly sessions were associated with 66% lower dementia hazard and 65% lower Alzheimer's disease hazard, showing a strong dose-related pattern in this population. A second Finnish cohort followed 13,994 men and women.”

“Her practical approach is moderate and timing-focused. Dr. Patrick often uses a sauna or hot tub about two hours before bed and allows cooling to happen naturally, while her husband sometimes uses a cool shower.”

“People that used the sauna 2-3 times per week had a 20% lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease, and those that used the sauna 4-7 times per week had a 60% lower risk of Alzheimer's disease, compared to men that used the sauna 1 time per week.”

“In this video, Dr. Rhonda Patrick summarizes a recent study that found that frequency of sauna use was associated with increased decreased risk of death. Using the sauna 2-3 times per week was associated with 24% lower all-cause mortality and 4-7 times per week decreased all-cause mortality by 40%.”

“In a prospective cohort of 2,277 Finnish men, higher cardiorespiratory fitness and sauna bathing three to seven times per week were jointly associated with lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality than low fitness and less frequent sauna use.”

“When a sauna is unavailable, Dr. Patrick describes a hot bath near 104°F for about 20 minutes with the shoulders submerged as an accessible alternative; this is her practical guidance rather than a claim that a bath reproduces the cohort outcomes.”
