Sauna Therapy Benefits

Starting off my sauna session this morning (with green light therapy). Saunas are outstanding ways to detoxify your body, naturally increase HGH, the anti-aging hormone… lots and lots of benefits of sauna therapy. Obviously I can’t tell you exactly how and what is safe for you when considering sauna therapy because you need to be healthy enough to use a sauna and to be cleared by your doctor, so just know, that I cannot comment on you and your ability to specifically use a sauna. This post does not constitute medical advice. So now that the disclaimer is done, I can say for certain that I believe sauna therapy should be part of everyone’s health routine, you just have to be healthy enough to use one. Here is the thing, most people can get healthy enough to use a sauna, you just have to ease into it.

If you have seen or read some of my other posts and information you know that I am autoimmune and have psoriasis and hashimoto’s euthyroid. After running labs on myself and learning a lot about my biochemistry including the fact that I had low testosterone, expanded autoimmunity and other markers suggestive of electrolyte imbalance I decided to take action before my health significantly deteriorated. Sauna therapy benefits in combination with modifications to my diet, lifestyle changes and temporary nutraceutical use to help support the recovery of several of my body’s systems has made a significant positive impact on how I feel.

Sauna therapy benefits (hyperthermic conditioning) are numerous and include:

• Increases Circulation
• Improves Muscle Hypertrophy
• Increased HGH (human growth hormone)
• Increased Heat Shock Proteins
• Increased BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor)
• Improves Neural Plasticity
• Increase Insulin Sensitivity
• Increase 10-15% increase in life span in (worms and mice)
• Improved Focus
• Improved Memory
• Increases Norepinephrine (focus and attention)
• Prolactin (produce myline,
• Increases Neurogenesis
• and a lot more…

Dr. Rhonda Patrick is one of my favorite researchers and is the person that inspired me to buy a sauna! Checkout this awesome youtube video she produced…

If there is interest I will post more information on sauna use. Have a great Saturday!
