Does contrast therapy reduce the benefits of sauna? | Rhonda Patrick

- Sauna use has emerged as a means to increase lifespan and improve overall health, including cardiac health. A common practice in Finland of cold exposure immediately following sauna use is referred to as contrast therapy. Research suggests that cold water immersion after sauna use provides all the same benefits as regular sauna bathing. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses various sauna protocols that differ in temperature, timing, and frequency.

Video didn't really even attempt to address the hot/cold topic...i know there haven't been official studies on it, but I'd at least like to hear Rhonda use some her vast knowledge to speculate on , for example, does a cold shower (let's say 52' F water for 3 min) immediately post-sauna (180' for 20 min) negate any of the sauna benefits ? Would a more mild-temp shower be better ?

This clip didn't cover the title at all?

10 min Sauna
1 minute 55° cold plunge

Makes me feel great.
Very interested to see more research on this, and what kind of sauna/cryo/cold shower program works best for longevity
Go sauna and then wim hof at the end. Huge boost
If I remember / understood correctly, David Sinclair goes into the cold water right after sauna ... .
I do too into a 8 degree pool (David I think said he goes into 3 or 5) ... but bear in mind use this adaptive ... hot sauna to 12 degrees then lower and lower with time ... there are cases of deaths where people die from hot to cold in an instant though I do not know from sauna to cold but from being outside at 40+C and then jumping into a cold pool
As a resident of Finland I have to say you are missing one of the main features of their use of the sauna. In my experience of living in the country for over 50 years it consists of 10 minutes in the sauna, a shower and then sitting around drinking beer. So I find your claims hard to accept, especially as Finland is known to be a country with one of the highest levels of heart disease, in part with due to deficiencies of magnesium from water coming off granite and vitamin D from the lack of winter Sun. These have to a degree been compensated by upgrading foodstuffs. On Alzheimer's Finland has the highest rate in the World at 19.65% of all deaths in spite of sauna having been used for decades - I have several friends and colleagues I have known since the 1970's who were frequent users of sauna that developed this disorder and others who died at mid life from heart disease whilst I a non sauna user am healthy at 80. As a nutritionist I consider the main problem in Finland is insulin resistance resulting from a rapid move to a manufactured food culture as both parents need to work to ensure a basic lifestyle but also the high consumption of alcohol as shown by the death rate from cirrhosis of the liver.

You are absolutely right that sauna doesn't cure insulin resistance or type2 diabetes. But she makes no such claim. Your friends may have caught their conditions way sooner had they not done the sauna. It is also obvious that you, probably in more ways than one, have a different life style than your friends. I haven't heard of or read any studies showing sauna increases all mortality, alzheimers and what not. Unless you have a relevant health issue I don't think you can go wrong with it. Either way...good health to you sir! :-)
Very interesting
Rhonda Patrick is a proven fraud, multiple academics from all different fields have pointed it out. She cites studies based on rats and having no relevance to humans as concrete evidence and so on.
Cold exposure post weights hurts gainz. Wonder if contrast does that?
I wonder if that would be ok for people living in the heat zones, Houston for example.
I've just been managing 15mins hahah, dam it ill havw to do to 20mins now.
Great question. While exposure to cold OR heat creates adaptations that may be beneficial, maybe exposur to both makes the "candle burn faster" and shortens lifespan?
That seems kinda absolutist.
I would argue that one should temper by the seasons.
In the summer, expose yourself to
20 min Sauna
30 second cold plunge
20 min sauna
30 second cold plunge
In the winter change the ratio to
5-10 minute Sauna
1 minute cold plunge
5-10 minute Sauna
1 minute cold plunge
And you more likely will emulate the affects that go with the season you’re in that are supposed to cause the most natural biological response
But what the hell do I know lol
No, it is not shorten lifespan to do both. There is zero evidence in that direction.
Didn't really get to the meat of the subject matter...useless click bait
