@A R : try high dose VitC with Niacin. Check your thyroids. When you do sauna be it FIR or steam- take Niacin (flushing kind) before sauna. Take niacin everyday till you Rach flush. Look up Abram Hoffer’s protocols for VitC & niacin for depression etc. Try to get High dose IV VitC if you can afford.

Dry sauna? And you said to be sverige. Oh. It goes like this.1. Take quick shower 2. Go to sauna 3. Throw some water to hot rocks in "kiuas" 4. Enjoy steam 5. Take another quick shower and repeat.

I've read Clear Body Clear Mind. It's fascinating how much stuff comes out of your body, but you have to sauna like five hours a day, you also have to take very high doses of vitamins - especially niacin. Niacin is the key with it. You also have to literally drink oils to help pull things out. It's pretty intense.

It can’t effect it permanently! My husband is super fertile ( every time we tried for baby, I got pregnant in that cycle), and visiting sauna. I assume it can only effect that current batch of sperm, that is there while you are in the sauna.
@@saraandstuartshannon2160 Sperm production happens during sexual stimulus but yes you are close enough to being right that it does not matter. Think of it more that the sauna snd good diet creates the conditions to maximise sperm viability during the reproduction.
Sounds like a good idea but my gym has a sign posted asking us to not add water to the stones. Someone did that anyway and ruined the sauna and we all suffered waiting for the repairs. Also, that creates steam. The wet sauna is the room to enter instead.
Thank you so much for all your great content and information! You had briefly mentioned in an older video that over 90% of fat loss occurs during Delta wave sleep. I have also heard from other sources that approximately 84% of fat leaves the body as CO2. So, I wanted to see if you would answer these few questions... 1. How does respiration factor in during sleep versus activity? 2. What are your thoughts on fat being largely exhaled after "burning?" 3. Is increased fat burning during delta wave sleep mainly a hormonal function? HGH, glucagon, etc.? 4. If you do extended fasting, is the hormonal environment during delta wave sleep that much more superior?
use NuCalm to get in two extra delta wave states in the day. Ben Greenfield the worlds craziest fitness biohacker does this though sometimes he does one nap with the NuCalm technology, but increasing deep sleep he's all about from sleeping on a chilli pad to sleeping on a biomat etc.
I've sworn by the sauna for years after every workout, add in an ice bath just before and you are creating the perfect conditions for quick recovery (a cold shower will suffice but salted ice baths are king)
Should you have a cold(ish) shower directly after the sauna?? My gym has the sauna temp set at around 145 degrees.....should I spend more time in there in that case? Like 30 min.? I don’t think they’ll let me raise the temp , but I’ll ask.....it’s an individual sauna .

To clarify, is your ice bath right before your sauna?
@@WH2012 Yes If I am at a facility that has both however usually it just has to be a cold shower sadly.
Heating up artificially after an ice bath takes away a lot of the benefits of letting your body do the warming up for you
