“Whether the quantity of heavy metals found in a serving of dark chocolate is cause for concern, especially for vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women, is unclear. Eliminating certain heavy metals from the body can be enhanced by lifestyle behaviors such as sauna use, which improves excretion through sweat.”

“The current evidence supports sauna as an exercise-like physiological stressor with plausible healthspan relevance, but it should not yet be presented as an epigenetic aging clock intervention.”

“Increased BDNF levels during exercise may be driven by increased core body temperature Heat therapy such as sauna use to boost BDNF. Evidence suggests sauna bathing reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease.”

“For example, heat exposure via sauna use induces the activity of heat shock proteins, a large class of proteins that play prominent roles in many cellular processes, including immune function, cell signaling, cell-cycle regulation, and proteome homeostasis.”

“The result supports further study of heat-based treatment, but it does not establish a sauna prescription or replace standard mental-health care. This clip is excerpted, with permission, from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on MedCram.”

“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.”

“These events are recapitulated in both exercise and sauna, providing a potential explanation for the sleep-inducing effects of the two activities. In this clip, Dr. Matthew Walker explains how sleep and sauna may induce sleep through their short-term pro-inflammatory effects.”

“Scientific research has identified many sauna and hot bath protocols Example sauna protocol: 20 minutes in a 176°F sauna, 1-2 hours before bedtime. Example hot tub/bath protocol: 104.9°F for 20-30 minutes, 1-2 hours before bedtime.”
