“Heat exposure mimics (and potentiates) the effects of moderate-intensity exercise. Whether in a sauna, a hot tub, or a home bath, heat exposure stresses your body, increasing your heart rate, blood pressure, and core body temperature – much like exercise.”

“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.”

“Men who used the sauna four to seven times weekly were 41 percent less likely to develop pneumonia compared to infrequent or non-users. 1 02:25:17 - Heat shock proteins have also been shown to directly inhibit viral activity and replication of influenza virus A.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses organic produce, fasting-mimicking diets, sleep, sauna, sunscreens, red light therapy, reverse osmosis water, and fiber.

“Sauna use and immunity No data suggest that sauna use or other modalities of heat stress such as steam showers or hot baths will have any effect on COVID-19 illness. However, robust evidence suggests that sauna use promotes mild hyperthermia, which, in turn, induces a wide array of beneficial physiological responses.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses urolithin A, postmenopausal protein, microplastics, high-temperature saunas, sugar intake, and supplements for Parkinson's disease.

Beta-glucan versus psyllium for lowering LDL, PFAS reduction, creatine and caffeine, urolithin A, exogenous ketones, IVF, Botox, and sauna.

“Research on warm baths and showers suggests that passive heating one to two hours before bedtime can shorten sleep-onset latency and improve self-rated sleep quality, although the evidence does not establish that every sauna routine has the same effect.”

“Findings from a recent study suggest that a commercially available infrared sauna device induces whole-body hyperthermia and improves aspects of mood. Traditional saunas are typically wood-paneled rooms heated by infrared or conventional heaters.”

“The average person loses 0.6 to 1.0 kilograms of sweat per hour in a typical traditional sauna session, which is typically considerably hotter (158°F to 212°F) than the experimental conditions used in this study. Consequently, sauna use likely induces considerably greater sweat losses than exercise, depending on the conditions and duration.”
