“In this clip, Dr. Ashley Mason describes the differences between sauna use and whole-body hyperthermia; how the latter may be useful in treating people who have depression; and how a new trial will investigate its use.”

“Sauna use increases these factors, too, and when used post-exercise, may have a synergistic effect to improve cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and neurological health. Strength training, however, may have deleterious effects on arterial compliance, a critical aspect of cardiovascular health.”

“The binding of dynorphin to kappa-opioid receptors triggers cellular events that promote pain and distress. Sauna use promotes dynorphin release, which may be responsible for the general sense of discomfort experienced during heat exposure.”

“Saunas are typically wood-paneled rooms heated by infrared or conventional heaters. However, in recent years, single-person tent-like infrared saunas that spare the head from the high temperature have become popular.”

“Evidence indicates that sauna use reduces the risk of developing pneumonia, possibly due to its ability to increase immune cells and heat shock proteins. Heat shock proteins activate the innate immune system and inhibit influenza viral replication.”

“This clip originates from an interview recorded on the Kevin Rose Show, which you can click here to download the full version of. Exciting new research suggests that the positive effects of sauna bathing may mimic those of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise.”

“Sauna use, which induces substantial sweat losses, promotes detoxication, however, and improves overall health. In this episode, Dr. Dale Bredesen describes how sauna use is now being used as a means to reduce the body's overall toxic burden.”

“These findings held true even when considering age, activity levels, and lifestyle factors that might have influenced the men's health. In this clip, Drs. Rhonda Patrick and Jari Laukkanen discuss findings from a study that identified links between sauna use and lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease.”

“A common practice in Finland is cold water immersion immediately after sauna use, which further stresses the cardiovascular system. Although this extreme cooling could provoke a life-threatening condition called coronary spasm in people with underlying cardiovascular conditions, it poses little risk among healthy people.”

“Finnish cohorts associated frequent sauna use with lower cardiovascular mortality and lower dementia risk, but these observational findings cannot establish prevention. Dr. Patrick discusses a commonly studied pattern near 174–175 °F for about 20 minutes and notes that infrared sauna may require longer exposure.”
