In this video, I explain a number of sauna protocols for health, specifically, for improved cardiovascular health, improved general health & to increase growth hormone (which is good for building muscle mass, strengthening bones & repair injury)
I got these sauna protocols from the @hubermanlab podcast: • The Science & Health B... - a highly recommended listen.

Which sauna protocol are you tempted to try?

For sure, #1 and #3a, cardio disease risk mitigation!
1 and 3a. You're a brave woman. Imo it's about the skin detox. There are other ways to sweat. Your videos cut right to the chase. Unusual and very appreciated. Thanks.
Growth Hormone sounds challenging.
@@richardpitkin1444 It can be for sure, it's taken about 8 weeks to work up to the full session.
All of them sound beneficial!
I'm Finnish so sauna is an integral part of my culture. It's completely normal for most Finns to enjoy sauna at least once a week. Many have a sauna in their home, even some flats have a personal sauna and many flat buildings have a shared sauna in the basement. I have lived in the UK for 10 years and miss the sauna a lot. I dream of having one at home here one day! I know it's possible so looking into options 😊
It is my dream to have a sauna in my home.
I wonder why the tradition has not moved to other countries of having a sauna in our homes? Seeing as there are so many health benefits.
@@LauraTryUK That's a good question and I can only guess the answer! Sauna has deep roots in the Nordic culture, spanning back thousands of years. To be honest, sauna has been so normal to me that I've only started to consider the health benefits now when others outside the culture have started talking about them. Makes me appreciate growing up with the opportunity even more.
Are saunas not bad for male reproductive organs?
@Noora @Laura on holiday in Finland this February I went to the arctic sauna world. Spent an afternoon there and did a few 25 min sauna sessions followed by dips in the adjoining ice lake, where further on people were skiing! 🥶 All ages were there, including some people with beers like a social event - that wouldn’t happen in the UK!
My skin was amazing afterwards and I felt rejuvenated for hours. I’d love an outdoor sauna and cold plunge area at home but they’re super expensive.
@@mssparkssie when I visited Turkey all the hotels had saunas, hot and cold. They were awesome! Loved it! My one and only time being at a sauna!
i built our sauna 3 years ago in our yard and a cold tank, we use them 3-5 times a week all weather, normal is 20-30 minutes at 170-190F, 15 minutes in- 2 minutes in ice bath then back in sauna for 10 minutes. we are addicted, our overall health has never been better, and i get to build fires so thats cool...
I love to hear that "Mama T absolutely bosses the sessions". So sweet to see you and your mom staying a active and healthy together. Warms my heart. ❤️
she absolutely bosses the sessions 😆 I can't believe it really. My heart rate goes to 100-105 and she's cruising at 75-78
You’re positively glowing Laura!!!
hahaha, it looks as though I had been in the sauna 😆
I spend over 3 -6 hrs in a suana alomst every day for 20+ yrs. I am obsessed with saunas. Never had a problem to this day 50yrs old now
Wow - this is os helpful! Thank you for posting!
I just LOVE that you did this with your mom! ❤❤
I plan to do Sauna 1. and 3a.
I have heard of one version never heard of the three versions. This is very informative.
Yeah! Just got a sauna and this protocol is really useful. Thanks
Thank you for posting this!
You are so welcome, thank you for your comment 🙏🏼
I'm just looking into getting a home sauna. So glad I came across your channel and hearing an accent and tone that feels genuine. I'm just about to rinse your content. Thank you. Subbed.
All of them! Thanks for this video.
Love!
I like your video! You are an inspiring person!
I would love Sauna in my home too. Luckily I’ve got a gym with one so will definitely be giving this a go. I didn’t realise there were so many benefits. Thank you for sharing Laura ❤️👏
I have no idea 🤷♀️ until today! Your videos are so helpful ❤
Thanks! Love your Videos! Much Love and Respect....
Wow, thank you Brian, you are very generous. Your 'thanks' is much appreciated 🙏🏼
Love the info, Laura! In our country, we typically do once a week 3-4 short sessions at higher heat (>110'C) separated by short sessions of a cold plunge in water, shower, or snow, ans also body scrub and beating either branches, and drinking replenishing liquids, with the length of each heat session increasing over approx. 2-3 hrs total time. It is too hot to stay Iin the heat for 20-30 minutes without a break. At the end of the session, a roll in the snow or dousing with a bucket of cold water to finish the session. It feels amazing, and is not as difficult to tolerate the extreme heat.
I am in a Sauna right now. My apartment in New York doesn’t have air conditioning, and its hot, really hot!!!
Great and inspiring thank you
You are so welcome, thank you 🙏🏼
Laura I absolutely love your videos, always so helpful, interesting and relatable - keep going 💪 I have the exact blue Firzone sauna you have for about a year now! It's like a giant human cool bag isn't it 😅 but so good, i was surprisedat how good it is for a folding sauna! It really does get hot and I also sweat buckets and so relaxing. I just bought a Myoice cold plunge last week, early days but I love that too! Would love a real wooden sauna and better cold plunge but they both do the job for now 😊❤
so cool you have the same sauna tent! The colour makes me laugh, as in, "Here I am! The Big Blue Sauna Tent 👋"
I love that you have a cold plunge too. I will check that one out.
Go us with our saunas and cold plunge - they may not be the exact we want but they are doing the job and so are we 💪
Thank you for the lovely comments on this video 🙏🏼
this video came at the perfect time as i just started using the sauna for health benefits and had a good sauna session today :)
I am so pleased to hear 😀
I enjoyed this video!
I found a company in the UK that supplies parts for sauna's were you can build your own. They didn't deliver to Ireland(were I'm from) at the time. I looked through youtube and people were making homemade sauna's using infrared bulbs and sitting in grow tents. I made this up and it works very well and costs a lot less. If people are short money it's worth looking into this method.
I've seen people make their own - it looks great! Not sure I'd trust myself to do it... 🤪
You look amazing ❤❤❤
100% with you on having a home sauna and ice bath combo. Dream setup! 🥰
Let's manifest 🌟
@@LauraTryUK ⚡️🧲⚡️
Love this and am a HUGE fan of Prof H 😊 I’d like to try the whole day protocol. Have you looked into infrared saunas? There’s so many benefits associated with them too!
Just love this episode!!! I'm a big Huberman fan also so when you mentioned him I was invested even more. I'm now inspired to the the 30 min in 5 min out x 2 break repeat method. Thank you again and keep up the great work I eagerly await each episode.
Being too reliant on 1 person’s info/advice isn’t good…
I find he greatly over exaggerates the benefits of things he likes to promote
Impressive results, Laura. I had no idea that the sauna had so many benefits. I went to a gym for many years that had a sauna and never even tried it :( Oh, well...I'll see if there's one near me and give it a go!
Hi Laura! What a brilliant video! I'd absolutely love a garden studio with cold plunge and sauna I'm it.. i did it in the winter outside with thick ice, but would prefer something with a regulated temperature..... maybe a gym too.. oh and a pool.. 😅 but seriously great video. Glad you're still cold plunging. I stopped after 233 days for a few weeks but restarted a couple weeks ago .. so glad I did. Good to see your mum smashing the saunas out. I honestly didnt know it had health benefits
We share the same dream Shaun 😀
Let's keep that dream alive, but in the mean time the padding pool and wheelie bin are our friends.
I'm not cold plunging quite as much right as concentrating on the muscle gain thing and tricky to fit it all in, but still sneak one in here and there, and surprised how the body remembers.
@@LauraTryUK 😊 cheers LT
I am definitely going to do this! I've just started on a new strength-training regimen and high protein diet, let's see how I fare with some sauna treatments.
Here we go! Do the growth hormone protocol and you will be flying!
It's quite intense so work your up to it if you need. Keep me posted about it if you can?
🙏🏼
Congrats on the new strength training and high protein meals by the way - really cool! Are you noticing a difference in the way you feel?
I've been using the Sauna for a little over two months, 5 days a week after I work out, which has been instrumental to my overall health and, more importantly, my recovery. I highly recommend it
oh wow, 5 days a week sounds bliss!
@@LauraTryUK It's been great - Take care
Hi Laura. Thank you for sharing this. I think these protocols will have different results on different people. But still this is very interesting. I wondered what you laughed about first time (mid vid) when your Mom was shown. But now I know:)
I am sure each person will have a different result, but will all still head in the right direction for a healthier life for sure.
I've been using the sauna at my gym for like 2 years now and I love it. I think I'm going to try that monster 4x30 session one of these days. I wouldn't be surprised to find my growth hormone is low too, because it seems that no matter how much I lift I stay skinny.
Unrelated to Sauna at all, but I just want to say I appreciate how you blurred the other people at the gym near the end of the video. That's such a rare and courteous thing to do nowadays.
I love that you are going to try the monster session Brunhilda.
I know it's obvious, but stay within your tolerance though and take loads of water.
I'm currently on around 1.9kg of protein per kg of bodyweight, it seemed a lot at first but now I'm used to it, and it's certainly helped build my muscle, along with some hard-effort training. Speak to Phil The Blood man if you can, he is a wizard 🪄
I try my best to keep other people private, I'm sure they don't want to plastered over CZcams without knowing.
If you are eating enough protein (1,2-2 g per kg of desired lean muscle mass) daily and good nutrition, it could be that your body type is ectormorph, which has a natural tendency to stay lean and toned rather than a visible increase muscle size.
Video: Liked
Wow, really enjoy this one and I’ll give it a go. Not sure which session though.
Thanks for the great content.
I usually do 20min x 3 once per week. It feels great!
i only have access to a sauna in spas or when i stay in an AirBnB that has a sauna in the building. I'm definitely going to try the growth hormone boosting one on a rainy day in September (my next AirBnB stay). As long as you got a good book and a timer, that should go well!!! ❤ And Mum T rocks!!! 💜
we're the same, not many saunas around here. In a way that makes it better for the growth hormone one as it means not going too often.
Woow I love it❤️
I love my radiant health sauna , great addition to my home
Ours is being delivered next week!! For the garage.
Similar to the tent, I just got an infrared sauna blanket which I like a lot, but I do crave the traditional cedar steam sauna.
Mom is a trooper!!!
Rock on mom!!!
Hi Laura I’ve got a Healthmate infra red sauna that I’ve been using every day for a month followed by 20 mins yoga. My sleep has improved incredibly getting solid 7-7.30 hrs. Also getting light early morning. Feel much more positive. Cannot get the high temperatures in the infra red though 76degrees for 20
Mins. Thanks for videos. Really great!
I have a home infra-red, and it doesn't heat the air in the same way that steam & dry sauna's do. I wear a HR monitor all day & every workout, and the big surprise for me is the difference between morning (empty stomach) and post-workout impacts of the heat. It's great to do in the evening. Super clean feeling of sauna and shower, then cold bedroom. Sleep like a log.
I have a steam room in my house (part of the shower wet room etc) which I LOVE - I much prefer steam to sauna - breathing steam vs dry heat. Maintenance wise I think its easier to maintain a tiled room vs wooden sauna that gets wet. I do like both sauna and steam though!!
I was going to ask about the health benefits of steam vs sauna - any idea?
A steam room sounds amazing. I wonder if it can be built inside an already existing bathroom.
Hi, thank you for the interesting videos. I noted that you wear your sportswatch in the sauna. Is that not a problem (for the watch or burning you)?
Değerli paylaşımlarınız için çok teşekkür ederiz.Selamlar.
your skin is absolutely beautiful
Thank you Laura! I just stumbled upon your videos and love them!
I’ve been doing this routine for sauna 4 days a week but early in the morning, like 6:30; I swim for 10 - 15 min then go into the sauna for 10 min then plunge into ice water for a few seconds, the thing is I feel Incredible, should this be enough?
Hi Laura, Thank you for all your 🙏 videos. Could you please tell me, does the infrared sauna blanket have same benefits as a sauna in gym? Also if someone do everyday, will there body will get adapted to sauna and they will not get any benefits from suana? Many thanks 🙏 ❤️❤️
So cool. When I go to Gym I always go to Sauna. It is my treat after gym which I do not like very much :)
It sound like a wonderful treat 😍
Thank you for your energy, time, and generousity, Laura Try.
I am concerned about out-gassing from the undoubtedly toxic materials from which these tents or sauna blankets are made. Has anyone been able to research this issue and find reliable reports regarding this? I have been looking without results.
I’m lucky as there’s a spa round the corner that costs either £18 an entry or if you have gym membership it is free. It has a infrared sauna and large cold and plunge pool. I go minimum once a week. Makes such a difference to your mental health also.
that sounds heavenly!
I have found somewhere similar local to me, and hoping to join so I can use the facilities. Doing the sauna and having the relaxation is my favourite part of the week.
Thank you 🙏 . How many sittings do you do in one session? Do you do cold exposure in all the models you discussed?k
I would like to try all of the above
Great video! 😀
I almost didn't catch it, but: You gained three kilograms of muscle in this short amount of time? This is MASSIVE gains in my book 😳
you heard correct!
But, I had a lot to gain and I was so low, then threw myself in gung-ho and the body produced, thankfully, I've been working bloody hard 😅
Wow! 3kg of extra muscle through your new training and eating habits is incredible. I'm so impressed!
Im wondering if hot baths would have a similar (if, perhaps, reduced) effect on HGH as sauna use. I recall that, after I'd been ill in bed with covid, i had a compulsion to take hot baths twice a day. Later, i read that hot baths can activate the immune response by increasing body temp.
I wish you were our Health Minister. You'd get to the bottom of the reason(s) for our current 22% increase in all-cause mortality in a flash!
None I live in Australia and its summer here so its a sauna session here every day. In the heat than into air conditioning, back into the heat. etc. we can do this several times a day everyday. Lol
Hi Laura! About a year ago I noticed you were using the MiHigh sauna blanket and you are now using a sauna tent. Which would you recommend more? Do you still have the blanket?
I have been doing hot power yoga about 4 times a week. Can it also be applied to this exercise?
You are such an inspiration for my 40s journey. Thank you so much!
sounds lovely Momo - I tried hot yoga a few times and enjoyed it.
I think the benefits count for exercise also. I would recommend listening to the podcast for sure.
@@LauraTryUK The room temperature is around 38 C. They make the room very humid which is different from Sauna.
This was really interesting Laura thank you. Have you researched when your trainings should be in relation to the ⬆️ in growth hormone? I’m interested to know how long those increases last for and when it is best to train to take advantage of them but I don’t want to go down the rabbit hole by doing the research 😂
I had the same question in mind while watching 🙂👍🏻
I like your thinking and have had the same thought - I haven't heard or read anything to answer your question.
Evening time, close to bed and semi-fasted was all I heard, due to a natural match in growth hormone release. The probably absolutely smash it at the gym the next day to make the most of it 🤣
Those results are really impressive, Laura, 3kg of muscle in 3 months. I'm definitely going to do the 4x 30 mins sauna sessions each week on my rest day. I can track my body comp on Boditrax machine at the gym with increasing strength training and protein, so I'll report back in 3 months! I'm excited! 😅 I wonder if using the cold plunge for the 5 min rest between 30 min sauna sessions would have increased benefit? Or maybe that would require extra time for core body temp to heat up sufficiently in the sauna...🤔
I hope it works for you Joanne.
Something to note was I had such low muscle mass to start so it has been a steep increase - perhaps beginner gains some might call it. I'm working body hard in the gym each session too. Phil calls it 'ferocious' so that is what I do.
I look forward to hearing your results! Please keep me posted 🙏🏼
If I don't see your comment through here, please feel free to IG message me.
Yeah, I’m wondering the same. My gym has both, so I like to do 5-6 mins in cold plunge between 20ish minute sauna sits. This is the first I’ve heard about the protocols for boosting growth hormones though! Great stuff. I’ll definitely be more deliberate about the timing now.
As a doctor I loved your video and is factually accurate however infrared has been shown to damage skin causing ageing and pigmentation at high exposure so please use with caution.
Interesting! Have you seen a modified Growth Hormone regime that is safer for infrared saunas?
Hubermam was my guy to follow for so many years 🙌 top guy great nolidge
Isn't he great! All that advice and knowledge for free 🙌🏼
Hi, thanks for this.
1. What specific test did you take to analyse your muscle mass?
2. What blood panel of tests did you take im general?
I have been doing sauna after a work out for about seven months now. I just turned 50 and never felt better. I highly recommend it especially if you are lifting weights with the intention of gaining muscle. Not sure I would advise laying down as the lady on this video as you will find your head empties of blood for a few seconds when you sit up.

Years ago when I first went to a spa would go into the hot tub and then after a while, I got too hot and I would go out and take a cold shower and then I’d say I think I could do more in the hot tub then I would go into the hot tub and so I developedthe habit of doing pretty much this exact routine sometimes with a hot tub sometimes with the sauna cold showers and a cold tub just because it felt so incredibly good so I’m gonna try Huberman method and see how it goes. I just moved in the gym near me, has a sauna very close by.
I have that book actually in Audible, the Tim, Paris book it’s been a few years since I listen to it where is that chapter please.
Two hours in one day! woah Not considered so many long sessions before. I normally stay in for like 10 mins then shower and into steam room and then shower and back into sauna for a few sessions. I think we know saunas are healthy just by how we feel. As always love your take on them. How you considered doing not scripted or just with notes, I bet it would still be great but yet spontaneous. Just a thought. Love your Mum she seems real fun.
Hey Conner, I was the same, just went in and out, here and there, but now I know the science, I stick to the timings (kind of)
My update videos aren't scripted. These types are, otherwise I wouldn't know what I was saying and you'd still be watching a video I uploaded 2 weeks ago. It's important for me to get the facts and wording right.
I may start free styling a bit in the future with some different videos.
@@LauraTryUK just a suggestion to make it easier for you, I remember the vlog you made about making CZcamss and how much work you put in. It is of course appreciated, but I have faith in you free styling a bit too. Do you think steam rooms have the same or similar benefits?
@@connerhughes1435 FRom what I have heard as long as the same temperature. I tend not to be able to stay in for as long though for some reason, so opt for sauna.
@@LauraTryUK Yeah I prefer sauna for some reason, even if I find it harder to stay longer in there than steamroom.
I want to try the GH regime but my infrared sauna only sets up to 167 F. I wonder if there is a GH protocol for infrared saunas since they are a bit different
Sorry if this has already been provided, but what do you use to count time in the sauna? My local sayings had no clock to measure time.
Hi Leftheris, I use my fitness watch which fortunate can tolerate the heat.
My mate had an infra red sauna installed about 5 yrs ago for about 3.5k. It is different to normal saunas as only you get hot and not your jewelry or book etc. also it only used a 13 amp fuse so cant cost much to run.
I used to have an infrared sauna but had to sell it because it was too big. I really liked it. So cheap to run too. But not sure they get hot enough to tick the temperatures from this video 🤔
@@LauraTryUK you may be right
Come to Greece for a week holiday and u ll be healthy for ever 😊
YES PLEASE!!!!! 🇬🇷
I adore Greece!
@@LauraTryUK You are welcome anytime
Is it okay to do just one 30 minute session for hgh?
I do 60c for 10min, then shower to wash off sweet, drop in pool 20c to cool down, then 60c sauna fro another 5min.
Twice a week.
Can we apply coconut oil on face, body & hair in sauna for good sking & hair?
I don't know.... probably not a nice experience sliding around in the sauna covered in oil 🙃
I know you can only go off of your experience, but in your unprofessional opinion, do you think the sauna blankets can achieve the same, even if on a smaller scale? Curious about your thoughts! I'd also love to hear more about how you're eating, if you're open to sharing. I'm trying to prioritize getting more protein, so recipe ideas and framework for grocery shopping would be very interesting to me. :)
The sauna blanket I had/have gets very hot and think it would be near those temperatures, therefore would get the same benefits.
I let my friend use my blanket as she was training for a desert ultramarathon, which is why I didn't use it in this video.
I will be making a video about my eating plan in several weeks. Thank you for saying you'd be interested in that video. I have had much success with it.
@@LauraTryUK Thank you, that's good to know. I look forward to hearing more about your eating plan! :)
Does steam do the same thing?
❤
My problem is finding a sauna I can afford that gets hot enough. Amazon has many portable saunas but they don't reach the necessary temperature range.
Check out Matt justice on you tube he has great content on infrared saunas, avoid ALL BIG BOX STORE SAUNAS BECAUSE THEY ARE BUILT WITH TOXIC GLUES ECT. He recommends radiant health which is what I bought 2 person, and clear light also. These have little to non electromagnetic fields which you need to avoid. Hope this helps
Do you cold shower in between? I wonder if that makes a difference?
I use "banya" (it has lots of steam), once a week, with temperatures around 70-80 (it's crazy hot). Be careful guys, you need to be patient with your condition 🙏
And I prefer cold baths every second day. 😅
A banya sound dreamy! and the cold bath sounds great too - sounds as though you are doing good things.
@@LauraTryUK thank you, dear Laura 😇 I am doing lost of things for my whole life, but you are such an inspiration for me to never stop ❤️
@@markaurelius3119 I have water in my eyes 🙏🏼
in the 80s we had a sauna at home (Germany) in the winter we would all run outside & roll in the snow to cool down, naked of course 😂
😂 naked of course! 😂
in Germany and Scandinavia they often make it a day session with the family, a lot of cold hot cold hot sessions .
This sounds like my idea of heaven 🧖🏼♀️
When I was a child we had a pool and log sauna in our back yard. There were days when we (me and my sister) would swim and play and go warm up in the sauna and do it even 7 hours. That was like the maximum. Nowadays it's usually about 30-45 min total. And we definitely do not have a clock that we follow as the whole idea is to listen to your own body and it's needs. I think Huberman needs to visit Finland and learn from us experts on this one. Don't try to push it with the heat in sauna, go out when you want, cool down and repeat 2-3 times. Don't overdo it. And remember that most Finns do not take cold showers, roll in snow or swim in ice water, that's ofter overexagerated because it sound dramatic and exotic. I never go to swim in icy lake or roll in snow! I like to go to mild and moist sauna 60 C and throw löyly in order to keep it moist.
Does the at home sauna get hot enough?
I'm shocked at the extremely high temperatures. I have a built-in infra red sauna in my home and it does not go over 130 degrees F. I spend 30 minutes in it and become extremely heated. I can't imagine staying in a a hotter temperature.
From my experience, infrared and traditional saunas heat the body very differently.
Infrared (only from what I have had) has a lower temperature but has a deeper heat if that makes sense?
An infrared sauna heats your body directly rather than heating the air around you. You're absolutely right, the average infrared sauna temperature is between 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit, while the average traditional sauna temperature is 150-190 degrees Fahrenheit. No system is better than the other one when it comes to health benefits, studies have concluded. Infrared saunas cost less to run and heat up faster. Enjoy your infrared sessions (*insert envious sigh*). :-)
Me too! My IR sauna has a maximum setting of 65dC and 30 minutes at that temp is all I can take. To take my mind off the mental torment I set up my laptop outside the glass door and watch a movie.
@@dresden_slowjog Thanks so much for the explanation!
@@LauraTryUK Yes, thank you.
I’ll try the short version ☺️ But maybe I need a build up because I not as cool as Lauras mom 🎉😊
hahahaha, this made me laugh.
Great to hear you are going to give it a go 💪
That was the intention 🤩 This video gave me a reason to enjoy sauna after my swimming sessions @@LauraTryUK . I really enjoy you bringing your mom into the videos 👌🏻😎
I wish I have regular sauna :( but I only have infrared and it barely goes above 140F. Very often I don’t even sweat just warm after 40 min.
I think infrared saunas have benefits, just maybe not the same as traditional ones. Better than no sauna though I am sure!
I wonder how this therapy would work if you have POTS/ Dysautonomia and small fiber neuropathy that includes heat intolerance ?
I'm Finnish and have dysautonomia/pots in my family. Sauna is like exercise to your heart and nervous systrm so it's usually not very good when dealing with pots. It can make symptoms worse. If you try it, take it very carefully with mild heat (55-60 C) for just a short time and drink eletrolytes or salt water before and after. Do not mix with the other extreme that is do not take a very cold shower, as that too can mess the nervous system and heart. Be kind to your body, dysautonomia and sauna don't go well together.
Do you still use the sauna tent?
Do you still use the sauna blanket?
A great question and one I wish I had put in the video but forgot. I let my friend use my sauna blanket for the last few months as she was training to run the MDS (an ultra marathon across the desert) and the blanket helped her heat acclimatise. That's why I got the tent as fight have the blanket.
But I think the blanket would have worked too.
Hmmm I'll be checking out ebay shortly for some 2nd hand saunas 😃
The Dream!
Do you drink water while you’re in the sauna?
Looks wonderful, but maybe use a steel water bottle vs plastic
I have been thinking the same. I once tried a steel bottle and it got too hot.....
Any suggestions?
May be as long as your bottle is bpa free, it leaches less or nothing? What's left, silicone? I saw on reddit, others mention glass with silicone around it..
Doesn't your watch melt in the heat?! 😅
Obviously I should read the studies, but I'm using YT, so obviously that's TLDR :-)...But might the heath benefits be a bit self selecting for healthy folks (Scandies and the either, fit or "worried well")?...compared to general population, this would make sauna look really good, but possibly not a useful comparison?....Personally I love sauna and it makes me feel great...don't know if it "does" much more than that though...and that's fine of course.
I think this was raised somewhere I have read or listened, but from my memory (I may be wrong) there are controlled studies from all over, and all kinds of people, and the results seem to match up.
I recommend listening to the podcast as it explains a lot of things, including the variables.
@@LauraTryUK tks Laura I trust you:-)
I wonder how much hot baths work co,pared to the sauna protocols
Hey Matt, I made a video about that: czcams.com/video/8QWH3luecIA/video.html
I hope it answers your question.
@@LauraTryUK Thank you
@@LauraTryUK Hot combined with cold sounds interesting
aha, I never worked out if there was more benefits from doing hot and cold in one session. I will keep my eyes open for the info.
My phone and watch overheat in the sauna, i get warning on my phone. Anyone else?
Was that a CGM monitor?
It was - I am using a Levels CGM - experimenting and making a video about my learnings.
@@LauraTryUK cool.
Have you tried oxygen therapy in a hyperbaric chamber? Supposed to enhance healing and such.
I tried it for an extended period of time once to increase my fitness for a challenge.
Others have recommended a video about it so I may try it again and research the benefits.
I suppose my only drawback is it's expensive and not accessible for most. What do you think?
@@LauraTryUK just seed an interesting video..”how to master any skill with the 100 hour rule”. You should put this to the test. 😉
is a steam room just as good, i much prefer the steam room
