“Heat tolerance, hydration needs, medications, and cardiovascular conditions affect the safest starting point, so the studied protocols are useful reference points rather than one universal prescription. This clip is excerpted, with permission, from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's presentation for Biote.”

“It does not reproduce every adaptation or replace exercise. Finnish cohorts associated more frequent sauna use with lower cardiovascular mortality, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease risk. A separate prospective cohort associated frequent sauna use with lower stroke risk.”

“Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death and disability worldwide, claiming the lives of approximately 18 million people in 2016. Over the past decade, scientists have identified links between sauna use and reduced cardiovascular-related disease and death.”

“Vitamin K is a type of fat-soluble vitamin that participates in blood clotting, cardiovascular health, and bone metabolism. Naturally occurring forms of vitamin K include phylloquinone, known as vitamin K1, and a family of molecules called menaquinones, known as vitamin K2.”

“Evidence from large studies of adults who were preterm infants demonstrates that breastfeeding mitigates this risk. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes how breastfeeding reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications associated with pre-term birth.”

“On the other hand, deep, slow-wave sleep, which occurs during non-REM periods, provides a homeostatic recalibration of blood pressure, an essential element of cardiovascular health. In this clip, Dr. Matthew Walker describes how the different stages of sleep influence emotional and cardiovascular health.”

“Approximately 25 percent of people living in the United States carry a genetic variant of this lipoprotein called APOE4, which is associated with higher circulating levels of LDL cholesterol and an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease. In this clip, Dr. Peter Attia discusses the role of the APOE4 gene variant and the associated risk for Alzheimer’s disease and cardiovascular disease.”

“Some large cohorts have associated higher egg or dietary-cholesterol intake with greater cardiovascular events or all-cause mortality, while a meta-analysis of prospective studies found no significant association between higher egg intake and overall cardiovascular events.”

“Dose depends on temperature, humidity, duration, acclimation, hydration, and health. Finnish cohorts associate frequent sauna with lower cardiovascular mortality but cannot prove treatment effects. An exercise-plus-sauna trial reported greater VO2-max improvement than exercise alone.”
