Been really struggling with deppression lately due to recently getting sober. The only time I feel good is after working out HARD. But it isn't really viable to workout like that every day, or even most days. But this made me realize I could totally sauna every single day and similarly get the natural endogenous happy chemicals flowing to balance me out.
Welp bois! I'm gonna build me a homemade sauna! Wish me luck!
Congrats on getting sober and educating yourself!
Keep on keeping on buddy ,you the man
keep going bro i went though a similar thing 11 months ago, now im 11 months sober :) and let me tell you youve made the best decsion of your life and you should be proud of your self.
Sobering up to 5 days from my last drink. Saunas at the gym bro!
4 years in May. Sauna is awesome for mood regulation and avoiding/mitigating depression. We drank for a reason. Sauna (and hot yoga, hot Pilates, other hot exercise) is priceless. Good luck
I remember listening to one of his episodes a while ago and just came back for the sauna clip. Staying in a 80° - 100° Celsius Sauna for half an hour is no joke. I really dont know how they found participants for this study or how they actually made it. I go to the sauna regularly, the maximum time I ever stayed in a 90° Sauna was about half an hour and I nearly fainted after that. But thats not even the craziest part, they got out of the sauna, then rested for 5-10 minutes and came back THREE MORE TIMES. Anyone thats ever been to the sauna knows how insane this is.
Buddy 90 is coke…..a normal sauna should be at least 140
@@shanelayshock4001 90 celsius or 194 Fahrenheit
Man, even 15 minutes at 90/95C is tough.
I use a sauna 3-4 times a week at a gym.
I do 20 minutes, then a cold shower then another 10-15 mins. It’s tough !
@@bartie55 yeah bro I live in Australia a pretty hot place and 15 -30 minutes in 80-100 Celsius heat is crazy you can boil an egg in 5 minutes 100 degrees Celsius is boiling point 😂 these guys trying to act tough
Hi, im from Finland the land of saunas you could say 😄. In here saunas are everywhere, apartments, houses, cottages you name it. The thing is, 100 degree celsius saunas are really really hot, if you are not adapted for heat exposure you should stick to a 80 celsius in the sauna max at the start. You can throw water on the rocks and increase the temperature that way for your own liking if that is not enough.
In Finland everybody does saunas very often, even when we are going out drinking etc, that usually involves a sauna session (healthy drinking i suppose). And i can say, i have never been to a 100+ celsius sauna, 80-90 is the most common here and it is plenty enough with a good bucket of water to throw.
Im not questioning the benefits from 100 celsius saunas, just trying to lay information to someone who is starting to use saunas that i would atleast advice to start very mildly. Anyways, great video and solid information!
Is it why it’s the happiest country?
Yea, I was doing 205 degrees fahrenheit the other day, and it was burning my face and ears, I couldn't stand it.
@@sushanmaharjan6105 I live in Finland and I can't recall when I saw happy person here last time. Actually I can even name one.
Saunas main use is to achieve a peace of mind from lifes routines and a place of silence and calm. Im Finnish so i know what im talking about. You can use Sauna 1-7 times a week or more, usually heated to 70-80 degrees celcius, water for löyly to throw on the kiuas and birch branches for a vasta/vihta for vastominen (hitting yourself with it).
1. Throw löyly water with kauha from the kiulu (you can get these from nearly every where, its just a metal or wooden scoop and a wooden bucket) on the kiu
when the heat has dissipated (usually about in 5 min) throw löyly again, use the water soaked vihta/vasta (soak for 30 mins in hot water, usually in the same bucket you use for the löylyvesi) to hit yourself around the body.
2. when you feel you can't take it, leave and cool off for about 5-10 mins and drink water, then repeat the first step.
Do this for about 30mins or less at first, it depends how much you can tolerate high heat, it can get quite excrusiating at first, take it slowly and in small steps and stop when ever YOU feel like it.
You can gradually raise the time you have in the sauna, but do not overexcert yourself, this is not a race or a competition, this is about peace, calm and stopping for a while.
I'm Finnish so I know what I'm talking about lol
It's 2023 my man saunas are no secret
Main benefit “for you”.
@@thesampsoninstitute you do not know...
@@thesampsoninstitute it's not that they aren't known elsewhere. It's more than saunas are an integral part of finnish culture and something nearly all people regularly participate in. Most have their own private saunas, but also attend public saunas where it's also a social thing (almost how taverns were in colonial America). They have more saunas per capita than anywhere in the world and it has basically just been arguably the most integral part of their society and culture and lifestyle for centuries. I would take the opinions of even just the average Finnish person on a sauna over almost anybody else

The big difference in experience I find between cold bath/sauna is that cold starts horrible and ends tolerable but hot is the opposite. Probably why I’m always much more keen to do saunas!
What a great analogy! It is so true
Actually with the cold exposure I feel that the after effects are much worse. Maybe I am a delayed reactor or something like that :D
I find that the most beneficial thing to do is to jump into a cold lake or have a cool shower immediately after the sauna. The act totally flushes the lymphatic system
I’ve found after two months of ice baths it gets better the longer you practice it.I do an icebath with 20 -30 pounds of ice and stay for 10 minutes I can stay up for 24 hours easily and I feel great!
Couldnt agree more
I just wanted to share how happy I am with my infrared sauna! After a heart attack last year, I’ve been trying to prioritize my health, and this has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.
I use it about 4 times a week for 30 minutes. My circulation has improved, my muscles recover faster after exercise, and as a diabetic, the fact that my feet stay warm for hours after a session is such a relief. It’s also helped my skin look healthier, and I’ve been sleeping better too.
I chose a low-EMF, high-quality unit from Future Form Official, and it’s honestly the best investment I’ve ever made for my health.
Happy for you
👌
In Jasper National Park here in Canada, we have natural hot springs. There are 3 pools of increasingly hotter water, followed by 2 pools of cold and ice cold water that we go into afterwards. Then repeat. Talk about a spiritual healing experience; looking at the splendid Rockies and breathing the pure mountain air etc. I’m so lucky to live nearby!
I’m coming to stay so I can do that, thanks.
It is wonderful to see more and more interest and studies being done on the benefits of traditional sauna use. Seeing sauna culture grow in North America is truly wonderful. Remember that most of the benefits are for continued and frequent sauna use!
Having a sauna in my building is the best thing ever, once u start hitting the sauna regularly u can’t go back
I love listening to the two of them together. I hope they do a sauna and cold plunge podcast!
Cold plunges have changed my days!
Very interesting point on how making things uncomfortable gives you more endorphines afterwards. I guess the same could be applied for intense workouts / study sessions, etc.
Embrace struggle 🙏
Most definitely. It’s the struggle that’s the reward
Yes, because your entire vascular system gets an intense workout just by sweating and trying to cool your body. You burn an incredible amount of energy in the sweating process
@@big_red_machine3547 Not true, humans dont spend much energy by sweating.
Good point. I once fasted with water for 48h and when I ate after that I got insane endorphine rush, similar to being high.
My mother's side was from Finland. I always wondered why sauna does so much for me I swear it's in our DNA. My skin looks amazing and I seem to cut fat and look generally very healthy after just a few uses. Going to invest in one when I can. The ones in the gym are simply not hot enough
I am skinny, and of European heritage, and I crave warmth. I take long, hot showers. I'd really like to get a sauna. Do you have any idea why people always say heat is bad for you and you should take cold showers? It seems the opposite to me
@@bradleylovej I use to do both and love them equally. The only issue was I would get sick often when I took cold showers. Thinking of giving it another shot but slowly get into it.
@@fushion999 Good to know, thanks for the reply!
@@bradleylovej for me its about balance, in the winter im a buddhist in the summer im a nudist
@@Curiousnessify Haha, thanks for that
Bought a big saunabarrel thats i heat with Wood and it gets crazy hot. I also bought an old 400 litres freezer that I made into a coldplunge. So good
Pulling the trigger and Buying a sauna right now cuz of this
Oh yea? Im in a sauna right now
U back in the ph? Let me try before i buy one. Dunno if i can take it. Perhaps the whole Philippines is already a sauna
@@crosswire7777 haha oh yeah? I’m in hottub going in sauna in 15 min? Sorry had to one up u 👌🍻
I’ve got one… I try use it about 3 times a week it’s worth it man. Get solar panels if you don’t have so it runs for free
Just bought one myself...super stoked! Do you have your's setup now? Sending good vibes your way.
I do HIIT workouts in 102° F heated rooms 1-2 a day. Wondering if I’m getting dienorphin benefits
I have Ankylosing Spondylitis a painful inflammatory disease that stiffens up the body and the sauna has meant everything to me! Has been very beneficial to warm up in the sauna before playing pick up basketball or strength training. A great low impact way to elevate the heart rate.
Same. I have AS & after 3 consecutive days of sauna I feel like a new person. Better than any tnf blockers.
Were you able to put AS in remission or not?
Did my first sauna today and I loved it. It’s such a great feeling
Me too lol
I’ve done similar sauna/plunge techniques to detoxify. This video with additional info in temp ranges for optimal performance and outcomes much appreciated. So glad you clarified human trial subjectivity.
@Dankenstein Check out Far Infared Sauna
@@mysimpletoon how so?
@Dankenstein That's not true. My Chiropractor said energy crystals helps remove toxins when held close to my heart shakra.
This is a myth. Research has confirmed toxins such as urea, arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury, BPA and phthalates (to name a few) are released in sweat.
The whole "no toxins in sweat" thing is one of those demoralizing things doctors say to maintain their authority and prevent people from seeking second opinions.
@@cake8211 Sounds good. My experience with far infared sauna stems from chemotherapy detoxification at an oncology department. Fully covered by insurance this treatment was approved for fat soluble detox. Previous commenters assumed toxins excreted through exocrine system even though no mention of this. I really enjoyed this video about the hormonal releases and your diligence in reference to additional data provided.
I've been rowing for 1 month. Covid in Jan. Mentally and physically drained so I decided to exercise. I've been layering up clothes and sweating gallons. Burning 700cal in 27min.
@Tony G I'm going to do rowing sprints to get cardio but burn less cal. I'm at 188
From 205. Its been 6weeks since I started. 6ft tall 40
Half hour to burn 700 calories. Nah dawg
@@kylejones8891 not enough? I'm wasting away...im going 4 days a week instead of 6
@@johnbuck9701 Too much. 700 in 30 mins doesn't seem possible to me unless you are gigantic
Fact checking benefits... I looked up Google Scholar and then I looked up Andrew Huberman. Always happy with Dr. Huberman's findings.
What people don’t understand is relationship between temperature and humidity. 120c sauna is fine when the air is dry. It will feel nice and comfy. But if you go to the wet sauna (in our country we call it Russian style) with humidity closer to 100% the max temperature will be 60c, even this temperature will feel very hot.
I do sauna/cold bath here in Japan. I visit the onsen (bath house) once a week and go for 12-15 minutes at 92 C, then cold bath for 2-5 minutes. I do that 4-5 times. Feel great!
I do 30 minutes at least 3 times a week at 200f. It's a nightmare once you get over 15 minutes
But if there are hot guys in there it is worth it 😤🥵😍
Also 200 for 30 min here. I try for 4-5 a week. I did get used to this temp. And I do much better in hot and humid weather now. No matter how hot it might be, it’s not 200, lol.
It is 😂
Tell me someone: what do people wear in saunas in Anglo-Saxon countries? I’m in Germany and it’s actually verboten to wear anything, just a towel, a large one if you’re uncomfortable. No staring allowed and it all seems pretty natural once you get used to it
Swim shorts..
I’ve sweated far more in an infrared sauna than a traditional one. The body heats up dramatically more, and you can still breath the cooler air in the infrared
Yeah I don’t know why Huberman is knocking infrared here when many studies have demonstrated huge benefits of waon infrared sauna therapy in Japan.
@@jblo76 Yes, Japan and European countries have done many studies, and the therapeutic benefits of infrared far exceed those of traditional saunas. This is especially important for people who have injuries or disabilities that make the hot air of traditional saunas unbearable. Infrared heats the body, not the air, and they are totally helpful with wound healing, post surgical pain, and inducing an artificial “fever” quickly in order to kill pathogens and other disease. Yes, my sauna was made in Japan
Infrared and steam cabins are not a Sauna, greetings from Finland
@@kievitz greetings friend. Yes I know, not in the traditional Finnish sense
Agree I love the infared saunas
Sauna trick that i use stand on first bench where your head is close to roof heat rises so you will sweat fast I'm out in 12min.. big slow breaths in and out
How about a Turkish steam room which is around 40-50 degrees Celsius? Does that have any benefits? How often to do it to optimise benefits (if they exist)?
when's the Sauna & Cold Plunge podcast coming??
It's a cult
It’s here. Called beat the heat podcast
Nice! I’ve been using the sauna about 4 times a week for the past 10 years just because I enjoy it.
How is sauna comparing to steam rooms?
My gym has a steam room & its not in my budget to pay for an extra sauna weekly
Dr. Rhonda Patrick said that a dry or a wet sauna is way better than an infrared sauna just curious if anybody has had any experience with this?
I prefer dry traditional saunas. The wet/steam ones feel hot because you can't cool your skin by sweating but they're a lower temperature. It's also harder to breathe the thicker air, plus the steam is typically treated city water and I'm good on breathing those vapors. It seems like people tend to gravitate to the public steam rooms when they're sick as well and all that moisture just harbors those germs. Infrared is better for people that have issues that make higher temperatures difficult, such as Lyme disease.
@@Engrave.Danger I agree with you dry sauna is the best
I wrestle in college, what is the best way to efficiently incorporate this into a training regimen, and what benefits (other than the increased metabolism, which sounds fantastic) could I expect to see?
I can't understand how people do these studies and have a large enough sample for it to be statistically significant.
Is there any more info on the 16x growth hormone release protocol? That seems absolutely insane to spend 2 hours in the sauna with only 5 minute breaks between each set
at the start he said dont do sauna but then he suggests doing it literally makes no sense
@@faysal1463 yeah that was confusing
@@faysal1463 it makes total sense. He said if you want to optimise for growth hormone, do it once a week for 2 hours with 5 minute breaks every 30 mins. If you want to reduce mortality, go as often as possible
@@jagdiogan424 so to achieve 16x growth hormone release you need to go 2 hours with 5 min break every 30 mins
@@faysal1463 yes, according to Huberman you should do that once a week
so funny this just popped. Jimmy from bright insight just said like yesterday that sauna helped with his depression and helped changed the chemistry of his brain.
I've been doing jiujitsu for eight months, and the sauna mimics doing jiujitsu with your gi on. I now do not sweat nearly as much, or feel as hot as I used to, when I do jiujitsu, and it's giving me an advantage.
as a Finnish dude , LETS GO ! :D
This below is anecdotal from my own experience. 👇 If you enjoy *cannabis this is definitely a comment for you.
I take hot baths regularly. 100-110°F (I have a temperature measuring rubber duck we use for my son's baths) I add ginger, Epsom magnesium salt, coconut oil and then adding some witch hazel, bentonite clay, essential oils, and some natural based lotions to it.
Why? My lady years ago was said, "You gotta try a de-tox bath!* In my heart of hearts I believed they were hogwash bullshit. To this day I still don't know if they" de-tox" but I can definitively say they changed my life entirely. Everything positive they're mentioning in this video lines up with my experience, while being unintended, and has been amazing. I'm only 33, never felt unhealthy or deteriorating but I feel 10-15 years younger with regular baths. If I go to long " like a month" without one there is a noticeable difference. I soak in the morning or on my days off 1-3 times a week for about 2 hours.
TWO THINGS TO MENTION: The temp I mentioned can be dangerous over extended sessions. YOU CAN PASS OUT. And you can also genuinely feel like you're about to die... Like can an ambulance even though we don't have the money genuinely belief if you don't work your way up over time, and even then still be careful.
SECOND: If you are a HEAVY cannabis user the anecdotal experience I have is I get an "edible-esque" stone that lasts 24 hours if I stay in longer than 2 hours. My hypothesis on this as some cannabinoids store in your fat I believe heating these lipids on a "slow cook" over time has a similar effect as decarboxylating marijuana before you prepare it for further use, like in making edibles.
Be careful, be safe, and enjoy the wonders. It's the most relaxing (sometimes momentary stress inducing due to the heat) way to train your innards + hormones.
Once again, I'm advising caution. Enjoy.
Just did My first 2 Rounds this morning. Heading back for the second 2
Great segment, nice to get huberman info in a digestible bite. Will be shocked if these two actually do a podcast in a sauna or plunge.
Listening this in Finland, all this science about the most casual thing we do from birth to death sounds a bit funny. But it's cool you like sauna. For the last 25 years I've bathed in sauna about 6 times per week. When I was younger a bit less. Maybe there's benefits to it but you can always nullify them with a sauna-beer😜
I go to the sauna high or on shrooms but Ive never tried the sauna beer. hmmmmm
Where I live, its more convenient for a steam room than a sauna. 50°C of steam for 10 mins feels difficult already. How doees 30 mins of sauna in 80-100°C compare?
I do 15-20 mins 4x a week is that good for the body also
Yes it is
According to this, not as good as 5x, but better than 3x :)
Are you bald?
I barely do 15 mins, BUT i remember when i used not be able to do 5mins.
I’ll try and push it by a few mins every so often
Japanese friend's technique was ice cold bath - hot sauna. Repeat several times. That was brutal but a lot of fun. Not sure if there were any health benefits. Definitely stressed the cardiovascular system.
I believe this is near universal in sauna methods. The nords also do this, steam up in a sauna then plunge right into a pile of snow.
In Finland people dive to the snow or into the frozen lake after and between sauna.
This is conventional method that originated in Finland. Thats why its called Finnish sauna.
The sauna, cold plunge, and rest outside routine is really popular in Japan. Not sure how many people actually realize the health benefits, but they do it because it feels good. I live in Japan and can attest to this.
i know you’re forcing blood into and out of the muscles which cant be terrible for you. I used to do that in the shower with the thinking that it flushes the lactic acid out aka soreness chemical
Definitely looking forward to both the Sauna and cold plunge episodes!
I do marine construction and I would love for them to test me while I’m working. It’s literally like working in a sauna some days like 8 hours a day. And I love it. I feel so much better in the summer then I do in the winter. And I lose a it of weight. It’s kinda nuts.
I've read before if you work out hard and get your body temp up for an extended period of time it had similar effects to the sauna. So I'd assume you are getting some of the same effects
How does one get a job in electrical in that
@@nephilimshammer9567 you can come just build docks with us
Definitely isn’t like working in a sauna for 8 hours. That would kill you.
Car works as a great free sauna in summer 👍
Hi @hubermanlab
Question re: the heat that wet saunas get to - they often only get into the 55 - 65 oC range, not up between 80 - 100oC as recommended. However, the wetness of the air really does make it feel a lot hotter than that. Is there a difference due to the humidity that 'makes up for' the lower temperature,such that you still get the full benefit of a hotter temp dry sauna?
I can't afford to buy a dry sauna, but there are some really affordable wet sauna tents that I'm tempted by....so I'm curious if it's worth going the cheap wet sauna tent route, or not.
I’m curious to read more about these “heat shock proteins” and if these are the same proteins/activated genes as “longevity genes”. Stressful situations make our bodies repair themselves and be younger longer.
I used to live around the corner from Spa 88 - the place in NYC that he mentioned - super hot Russian banya! I recommend if you're ever in the area.
So if you want to lower cardiovascular issue you do sauna as much as possible but if you want to increase growth hormone only use ones time a week
Is this correct
By now I have listened to hundreds and hundred of benefits of sauna. It doesn't stop being so sweet lol
It's the reassurance for me
I’ve been considering buying a sauna for my home for a long time. I’m glad I didn’t purchase an infrared sauna after listening to this podcast.
Question:
What exact type of sauna is recommended?
did u find the answer ?
@@smashking703 Actually, I did not receive an answer. I’d still like to know what particular sauna is best.
@@reneeraw6927 steph curry uses infrared some may argue if it’s good enough for a professional athlete maybe it’s good enough for us - although i have also seen content saying traditional is what’s good but then they say infrared is healing but also then huberman is throwing caution on infrared - i am stuck myself
Get "The Pressure Cooker" started immediately 😂
How do you know if you’ve done damage/over did it in the sauna, bc I defo push through wanting to get out and I feel defo exhausted and hot but I don’t feel like sick sick, a little dizzy and feel dehydrated but I rehydrate so. I guess I’m just trying to say is how do you know you’ve done damage and if you have done damage can you fix it?
Next time you are in NY hop over to King Spa in NJ just over the GWB. They have a sauna which is about 200 F inside, you need to wrap yourself in a burlap sack just to go inside. It is amazing!
I’m a bit confused, everywhere I look it’s saying 15-30 min is the max time for a sauna. I went ahead and tried the 30 min x4, the result was not good I only made it thru two of the 30 min sessions felt like I was going to black out.
Sauna before or after cold exposure? I take cold showers and been debating adding sauna to my regimen
Does this all go the same for steam room?
That Russian sauna in NYC is hardcore. Definitely not a luxury spa but one of my favourite places. Highly recommended.
whats the name of the place?
@@brendontompa-clinch2306 The one on East 10th street.
@@dosgos thank ya
@Tony G its favourite if youre Canadian. Just like color/colour
I have anxiety disorder so I probably won’t do it because I’ll get shortness of breath and will have a panic attack.
Gonna pass on that. Those temps are INSANE.
Amazing content ! Thank you so much I feel so grateful to have access to such great information
I get what you both are saying about the higher temps, 200 and up, but for me I feel like the hot internal air is not as cleansing and therapeutic as getting in an infra-red sauna at 145 for 30 minutes, then dropping down to 130 for another hour. I can feel the difference in how far the heat penetrates. So for me the higher temps or dry saunas get me sick to my stomach after 20 to 25. They are certainly not for me. My infra red also comes with internal lights of many colors which seems to create and atmosphere for emotional cleansing. I will just stick with my near infra red. I sleep so much better at night with no nauseating side affects from the excessive heat exposure.
I agree I have an infared and you can sweat just the same if not even more at lower temps than the dry. I love the infared, it’s a different type of heat it seems
Sauna podcast: "Welcome back to the Hot Seat"
Funny guy!
looking forward to the episode in the sauna . i use t it 5 to 6 times a week and it has n helped me physically, mentally and socially....
Don’t forget to credit dr. Ronda Patrick on sauna therapy
I live in mumbai India and the temperature here is 80 degree farhenit ... Soi should set the sauna to what temperature?
And is that 30 mins at once or can they be in like 3 different sessions?
Is it safe to go for a cold swim almost immediately after doing a 15-30 minutes sauna?
Did he ever explain the third way to use the sauna. I heard the hgh 2 hour protocol and then 30 mins multiple days a week to reduce likelihood of cardio death.
I have been taking hot water baths after my workouts for the past few months now and sauna once a week for one session of about 10-15 mins now should I change this routine of mine to not taking hot shower after my workouts and doing sauna once a week as mentioned by the doctor.?
5:20
Interestingly also leads to conception
I'm 29 and since I was 21 I commit no matter what or where I go I use sauna steam religiously weekly it is like everything to me.
So now I have 8 years solid sauna/steam and Literally everybody thinks I'm 21 22 my your skin will constantly be rejuvenated.
It truly is the best choice I've ever made
I use to do freaking 45-1 hour but that's way to long.
SAUNA TALK - Glenn Auerbach! Podcast (mostly) recorded from, always ABOUT Sauna.
I wonder if the steam room is good too
When is this joint sauna cold plunge gonna happen? We cant wait
I feel it's not about the sauna temperature but the rise in body temperature - so the IR sauna would be more beneficial as it also heats up the core faster and detoxes better. Just my opinion anyway.
Wow. I noticed that it's way easier to cold plunge if you don't move. It's like a natural wetsuit. Slightest movement makes it a lot colder
Thermal Barrier. Look into it. Crazy difference haha
What’s the actual mechanism by way it decreases heart issues, just curious ? Like is it desolving plaque in arteries? I have infrared, it feels great - I know people say it’s not enough. Certainly feels amazing.
Can we swap a portable steam in place of a sauna to achieve the same results of a daily sauna?
Does this apply for steam rooms?
I've been dizzy lately. Would a sauna help?
How are steam room benefits compared to Sauna? Is it exactly the same?@Andrew Huberman.. I have a steam room in my gym, so I would like to understand it
Can't get as hot = Most likely not as effective
You sweat more in a steam room than a sauna, so it will have the added benefits of extra sweating
@@HWEspana i dont know about that one... sure it can feel like your sweating more because of the steam but if you have a real sauna with high degrees your definetly going to sweat a lot, sadly the saunas i have seen in US for example look basically like rooms with little above average temperatures😅
Anyone here know where I can find the study he is referring to about the high temp for 30 min for about 2 hours for growth hormone increase he talked about in the beginning?
Reporting live from the fire box. 225 F. 50 min in 🪓 get some.
⚠️PSYCHOLOGICAL QUESTION:
Why Dr Huberman slighty laughed at 0:52 when he said about Lex and his high sauna toleration?
Its becouse that was a compliment from him to Lex and he feeled awkward?
Or admiration of some kind?
Thanks ✌️
Archimedes Banya is DOPE!!
“You dont want to sauna too much”
But max Growth Hormone is maximized by 30 min in -5 out for 2 hours.
Which is it and how much for the best results
My two fav podcasters
..of "a" sauna. There is an article in front of sauna. It's not a verb.
Obligatory finnish sauna enjoyer commenting on the topic. If you are going into the sauna looking at a timer thinking about optimizing the benefits you are already fucking the whole thing up. Go in there be in as long as you feel like, take a break and go again 1-3 more times. Build up tolerance with time dont overdo it in the beginning and ruin the whole experience. Also dont listen to anything in there it’s a place for silence and meditation.
Hi Dr. Huberman, help!
I have been fasting for 2 years now, mostly16/8..sauna 2 to 3 time a week, 15 to 20 minutes.
Hey Mark, its 4 years now. Have you eaten anything yet?
Are you bald?
When I went to Budapest , there sauna’s are definitely like 200 and as soon as i get in there I’m like OMG
Anybody know where to find the podcast Lex mentioned? The Tim Ferris one in the sauna
