I used to live in a place that had a sauna (built by actual Finnish folks) and omg do I miss it. I never did the "use the sauna then jump in the lake" (tried it once, didn't like it), but it was an awesome thing to come home to. I'd usually get the sauna going, jump in the lake to wash up (I'm a retired plumber), then hit the sauna. Yeah, I used it in the winter, but I'd go from the shower to the sauna instead. Even learned it was pronounced SOW-na, not SAW-na.
Would love to be linked to a RCLS that concludes the benefits of sauna use. There’s nothing a sauna can do that slight exercise can’t do because all it does is elevate heart rate and promote blood flow. However, it dehydrates you and is counter intuitive post exercise, unless you did cardio as you’ll be getting extra passive cardio in the sauna. The sauna will improve immune system because you’re sat in a sweaty Petri dish too. I use the sauna in the gym so I can get out and get in the cold shower before I train to wake me up. After years of sauna use the only benefit I believe I have is clear skin, not a single blackhead.
It would be nice if that were the case but the trick is to increase your core temp which requires either very high levels of external heat or infrared heat (which heats you from the inside out.) I'm not an expert but I've used both and the key is the core temp of your body and heart rate. Sweating is a great byproduct of both methods of course
No, there’s no benefit either way. Just exercise eat healthy and enjoy life, sitting in a sauna will do nothing but dehydrate you, or promote blood flow if you aren’t exercising already.
Yes, but you are looking to go through temporary stress to get an adaptive reaction, which is called hormetic response. You can build your resistance (be always safe! You don't want to have heat stroke or a heart attack) and that building up will give you the increasing benefits. Key is TEMPORARY stress, opposed to cronic stress, which is detrimental.
@@dopamine-87 prove me otherwise? Link me to a RCLS that proves any other benefits to sauna use that can’t be done with very moderate aerobic exercise? I’ll link you to studies that prove the negatives though.
Ouch, i stay in the sauna 45-60 minutes at 178 faren, and constantly check my heart rate w apple watch, but it never gets higher than 106 , i Love heat and tgisnis after i do the steamroom for 15 minutes to wet sweat, since my gyms suana is electric. There is no way i can do more than an hour due to time constraints so I hope I’m getting some benefits. I just chill mediate and twilight sleep. My body loves heat so it’s a cake for me, but ouch not sure longer would be better. I wish I could turn up thermostat but it’s set. I do this 4-5 times a week. Maybe i’ll wear a sweat suit like we did in training for weightloss. Non of is had ill affects but we were hydrating with electrolytes even back then 🤷🏻♀️ I take magnesium and other electrolytes morning to night because of my activities so dehydrations never an issue with me and I always feel so good after sauna. Just hope since my heartrates not ever high, i’m still getting Benefits. I know my skin does and my face is glowy afterwards and love that but internal health benefits is what my aim is
Dr. Rhonda is The Best...Sulforaphane, Baby..
I was just wondering about this, thanks!!
i like Dr Berry's idea: get in the back seat of a pickup truck on a hot day close the windows
Love Dr. Patrick's work, she needs to understand that HR is affected by age. Her 120 BPM may be 100 to old guys like me.
Does sitting outside in AZ sun in July work ?? 😂

Truck I got to 140ish. The point when I feel the need to get out. Hear Huberman say that's when your body is telling yoy it can't cool off cast enough
I have a great idea for a portable sauna. I need help to develop?
What about infra red sauna vs steam room?
Does humidity affect the same Sauna , considering I live in a very humid area
My resting HR is 42-44. My HR is 90 in a saunas at the max
My heart rate gets up to 140 usually. I do 30 mins at 186 degrees.
Shouldn't your target heart rate while in the sauna be determined by your age??
Had my heart rate about 150 at one time, after a work out then into a Jacuzzi! Never did that again!

I wonder if you could take a hot shower or bath with a heater on in your bathroom to get the same effect?

I have a heated jacket.
I wear a thermal and the jacket then other layers.
Hot Yoga for free right there…
Just test one blanket for us ;)
I hate the heat…above 65°,I’m done! I sweat at the drop of a hat. Is there any benefit with lower heat for those with heat intolerance? 😢
No, there’s no benefit either way. Just exercise eat healthy and enjoy life, sitting in a sauna will do nothing but dehydrate you, or promote blood flow if you aren’t exercising already.
