“Before and after the intervention, they performed a time trial, where researchers tested their tolerance to low-oxygen levels. The researchers found that training during heat exposure improved athletic performance nearly as well as low oxygen exposure.”

“A recent study found that supplementing normal endurance training with intermittent post-exercise sauna bathing improves heat tolerance. The study involved 20 male and female trained middle-distance runners between the ages of 18 and 22 years.”

“In this member Q&A clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick shares four practices she uses or finds compelling for healthy aging: sauna, sulforaphane-rich foods or supplements, time-restricted eating, and high-intensity interval training.”

“Heat stress, such as that experienced during sauna use, robustly induces expression of heat shock proteins. Learn more about heat shock proteins and sauna use in our overview article. View full publication.”

“Evidence suggests that heat stress from sauna use may reduce muscle losses during periods of disuse and aid in slowing sarcopenia. Learn more about the health benefits of sauna use in our overview article.”

“Heat stress reduces systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and cortisol levels, which may play roles in the development of psychosis. Learn more about the brain benefits of sauna use in this episode featuring Dr. Rhonda Patrick.”

“Interestingly, whole-body heat inhibited the activity of some FOXO proteins and switched on the activity of some genes involved in atrophy. Further study is needed to determine the full effects of whole-body hyperthermia on muscle atrophy.”

“These experiments revealed that TXNIP knockout mice had lower body temperatures after cold exposure than normal mice, suggesting that their brown adipose tissue was less effective at producing heat under stress conditions.”

“It also sheds light on the potential mechanisms that link physical activity with improved brain health in aging, with possible implications for people who are unable to exercise due to advanced age, mobility issues, or various health conditions. Interestingly, heat stress also promotes PF4.”

“Vitamin D signaling through VDR helps maintain genomic stability by regulating DNA repair and reducing oxidative stress, crucial for preventing age-related genomic damage. Additionally, VDR activation influences mitochondrial function, enhancing energy metabolism and reducing the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria, thereby supporting cellular health and longevity.”
