“Heat exposure – from sauna use, hot tubs, or even hot baths – is a powerful hormetic stressor. Heat stress benefits the body's cardiovascular, neurological, metabolic, and musculoskeletal systems, extending both healthspan and lifespan.”

“Waon therapy is associated with improvements in multiple aspects of cardiovascular function. Physiological response to heat stress Exposure to high temperature stresses the body, eliciting a rapid, robust response.”

“Evidence suggests that heat stress from sauna use may reduce muscle losses during periods of disuse and aid in slowing sarcopenia. In this clip, Dr. Stuart Phillips discusses how heat stress promotes muscle health and reduces muscle loss.”

“Small physiology studies found dose-dependent increases in growth hormone and prolactin with intense heat protocols. These responses were short-lived and depended on temperature, duration, humidity, and repetition. Her practical approach is moderate and timing-focused.”

“For example, expression of heat shock proteins, which increases markedly following heat stress associated with sauna use, also increases in response to hyperthermia, especially in malignant cells, rendering them more susceptible to destruction by natural killer effector cells.”

“Heat stress, such as from using the sauna, also activates FOXO3. Genetic variants of FOXO Single-nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, of the FOXO genes may influence longevity. SNPs in FOXO3, in particular, increase lifespan and improve overall health.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses how conditioning the body to heat stress through sauna use, called "hyperthermic conditioning" may cause adaptations that increase athletic endurance (by increasing plasma volume and blood flow to heart and muscles) and potentially even muscle mass. She also discusses the profound effects of hyperthermic conditioning on the brain including cognitive function.”

“Increases in core body temperature (via exercise, hot baths, or other heat exposure) increase serum BDNF by as much as 66 percent. Lower BDNF concentrations are common features of Parkinson's disease, ref doi='10.1016/j.brainres.2018.10.006'] Alzheimer's disease, and depression.”
