“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%.”

“Spending less time in the sauna did not elicit the same robust effects. In this clip, Dr. Jari Laukkanen discusses the optimal temperature and amount of time for sauna use to obtain the greatest health benefits.”

“Traditional Finnish sauna studies associate frequent sauna use with lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in observational cohorts. The practical question is the heat dose, not the label alone.”

“Sauna's beneficial effects on blood pressure may be due to a variety of mechanisms, including regulation of the autonomic nervous system and improved endothelial function and arterial compliance. In this clip, Dr. Jari Laukkanen describes some of the mechanisms that drive healthy blood pressure among men who use the sauna regularly.”

“This clip originates from an interview recorded on the Kevin Rose Show, which you can click here to download the full version of. Sauna use has emerged as a means to increase lifespan and improve overall health, including cardiac health.”

“People who have poor cardiorespiratory fitness are more likely to be depressed. Sauna improves cardiorespiratory fitness and may offer a means to ameliorate the symptoms of depression and improve mood. In this clip, Drs. Rhonda Patrick and Jari Laukkanen discuss the benefits of sauna use in terms of cardiorespiratory fitness and mood.”
