Let’s talk about what would happen if you used a sauna for 14 days. I think it could create a huge change in your overall health.
Saunas have interesting thermotherapy benefits. When you use a sauna, your body adapts to mild stress. Adding mild stress causes your body to adapt and become stronger.
Other things that create mild stress, causing a similar effect, are cold showers, ice baths, fasting, and exercise.
There are a lot of health benefits of sauna therapy, including an increase in certain hormones (growth hormone, noradrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, and prolactin) and much more. But keep in mind that when you use a sauna, it’s crucial to get enough electrolytes in the right balance.
The benefits of sauna therapy:
1. It can help lower your resting heart rate
2. It can stimulate lymphatic flow
3. It can help lower blood pressure
4. It can decrease the risk and intensity of an asthmatic event
5. It increases circulation
6. It can strengthen the immune system
7. It can help decrease all-cause mortality
8. It can decrease pain
9. It can decrease inflammation
10. It may help improve psoriasis
11. It promotes recovery
12. It supports cognitive function
13. It increases insulin sensitivity
14. It decreases ROS (it has an antioxidant effect)
15. It has similar benefits to moderate aerobic exercise
16. It promotes better skin quality
17. It increases autophagy
*It increases melatonin (when using a sauna with infrared light)

Hi dear doctor
I am addicted just to methadone for almost 7 years..I am on methadone..
Or methadone maintenance therapy(mmt)
Talk about methadone in your program please
Can Info Red sauna blanket give same benefits?
I started Keto on June 24, 2022. As of this morning, I'm down 61 pounds!! Thank You Dr Berg and Dr Berry!!I was at 288, I weighed in at 227 this morning!! I started intermittent OMAD a couple of months ago, but I mostly do 2 Meals a Day. I keep my carbs under 50 grams. I use Heavy Whipping Cream and 2 Stevias in my coffee and I also intermittently have Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Bombs to keep my sanity! Lol But, most importantly, I listen to and use as much of the medical advice that this man freely gives!! Dr Berg, you have made such an impact on my life. Thank You from the bottom of my heart!💜
Gj you stopped eating processed carbs and sugar everyday! Something majority of Americans are addicted to.
That is so wonderful! would you share what some of your daily meals look like please? I keep yo-yoing and am wanting to do this to get to my ideal weight - the struggle is REAL!
Angela, I struggled for about a month even after Two meals a day. So the week of Thanksgiving, I did OMAD leading into Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving Day I ate!!! From pea salad to my Delicious Dressing to my Sweet Ham to my awesome mashed potatoes and even a slice of pumpkin pie!! I also had some leftovers the next day (Friday), but I got back on OMAD on Monday and on Tuesday when I weighed in, I had lost 2 pounds!! Lol Our bodies are totally awesome. I believe my body was in shock from all that I had eaten and decided to do a thorough clean out! It did not like all the food I had eaten! Also, my heel flared up on Sunday because of all the poison I had eaten but by Tuesday, I was back to normal! Yayyy!!
As far as meals, on OMAD, like this afternoon around 1:00pm, I had a huge Romaine Taco Salad with beef, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese a very small portion of refried beans. I made sure I ate extra lettuce. That was it. This evening I will drink about 6 ounces of pickle juice with about 4 tbsp. of Apple Cider Vinegar. This helps with the clean out. 😁
Angela, I'm down from a size 3x to an XL. I am having a wonderful time buying clothes!
Dear HIT, I really was addicted to sugar. In the evenings sometimes, I would tell my husband, "I want some cake" lol. We both got on this diet. He got on it 2 weeks after me when he saw my face was shrinking. He started 2 weeks after me and passed me in the weight loss, but Dr Berry and Dr Berg said this was normal for a man to lose faster than a woman. Not fair! But, anyways...we both have lost over 60 pounds a piece. It helps when you have a partner to encourage each other.💜
I take a sauna every day when I can. Not only does it have the benefits described by Dr. Berg, I also spend my hour or so lying down on my back in deep meditation. I resolve so much anxiety-causing thoughts and genuinely am able to quiet my mind.
Whoa! You spend an hour in the sauna at a time? That seems awfully long to me for some reason
@@erwynbalbuena9900 I do the same. She likely has an IR sauna. Easier to spend longer periods of time than in a traditional one.
I can only sit in my sauna
@@erwynbalbuena9900 bc one hour is a long time
@@starfly7 that makes sense, IR saunas are significantly "cooler" than the standard saunas that I'm used to... speaking of which, it's time for me to hit the gym 💪🏾
😂😂 who else loves Dr.Eric?
I do ❤️

Lotttttttttttttttts of love and respect and prayers for our dearest Doctor Eric

Been using an infrared sauna daily for 4 years. My motivation was heavy metals and parasites detox. This combined with healthy keto and intermittent fasting has helped me to cut down high levels of inflammation, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Oh and I lost and maintained a 50 lbs weight loss but most importantly I learned it’s not about the weight and while I have been doing OMAD for 2 years I am at peace with food-no cravings. I am 60 and I feel better then in my 20th when I was working out 4 hours a day and on low fat diets. It’s fun to feel great and learn about the body, very causative. Thanks Dr.Bery for all the incredible data. ❤❤❤
and did it help with parasites? i want to get rid of them too but so many naturopaths say you need this and that and drainage pathways and pooping twice a day etc...
Keto isn’t for me, but I am so extremely glad and grateful that you found something that works so well for you and makes you feel as amazing as it does.
@@im_so_bored3896 my dr gave me a detox by Metagenics & it helped both my heavy metals and parasitic overload. It was very painful 2 weeks but worth it.
I had to eat specific foods to help sweep it out, all carefully timed.
Hi, can you please let me know which supplements by Metagenics? We deal with heavy metals and parasites. Thanks!
How long do you sray in the sauna each time to get these benefits?
I'm super grateful that the house we bought last year had a built in sauna room inside the house. It's the type of Sauna with the rocks not an infrared. I use it a lot in the winter. I turn it on before I go for a run and when I get back it's all set to go!!!
WHAT STATE?
@@leelunk8235Michigan
Noice! 😅
I have been using the sauna after a workout regularly for the last 6 months now. I’m currently doing 25 minutes per session. I split the time in the sauna between lying flat and sitting down. What I find remarkable is the calming effect lying down has on my mental and emotional state. I’ve recently been experiencing high levels of anxiety and one thing that truly helps, where I feel an immediate tangible impact is lying flat in a sauna. Don’t know why exactly, but I highly recommend it. Take a towel to lie on and have a bottle of water with you.
Thats next level. Im gonna try it, i definitely feel jt has helped me with my anxiety but ill do anything to get a bigger benefit
If it's more comfortable when you are lying flat, it may be beacause it's cooler the lower you are in the sauna. I noticed there is 60 degree swing from the ceiling to floor in the sauna I use at the gym (195F vs 135F, measured with a laser thermometer)
DON'T LIE FLAT, YOU'RE BASICALLY COOKING YOUR SPINE/DISC WITH THE HEAT
@@dg9015 WHY WOULD YOU LAY A TOWEL DOWN ON SWEATY BENCHES THAT YOU THEN LAY ON AND THE SWEAT FROM OTHERS SOAK RIGHT THROUGH THE TOWEL ONTO YOUR BACK, THAT'S DISGUSTING MY BOI
@@dg9015 I USED TO YES, NOT EXACTLY MY PREFERENCE BUT IT BEATS STANDING IN ONE PLACE, NOW I HAVE A STEAM SAUNA AT HOME, SO IT'S FOR PERSONAL USE AND I DON'T HAVE TO SHARE IT, I DO IT 7 DAYS A WEEK FOR 20 MINS A DAY AT 117 DEGREES, TRUST ME, I RATHER SIT ON THAT DIRTY BENCH THAN LAY MY ENTIRE BACK ON IT WHICH IS HOT/ MOIST AND FULL OF OTHER PEOPLES SWEAT
I sauna 5-6 days a week. Love it! So happy to hear about these benefits. Can vouch for the calming & destressing effects
It’s just passive exercise because it raises your heart rate slightly, and that’s it. Every benefit mentioned here you can get from light exercise with the addition of your muscles also adapting. Anything else there isn’t any solid evidence.
One of the fondest memories I have with my Dad was when we used to sauna together. Every year, my Dad, a suited business man, had a booth at the Kansas State Fair, and he would stay at the Holidome in the town where the fair was held. We would visit him, and the hotel and pool, specifically, was like a Polynesian Paradise. We would first sit in the sauna and my Dad would show me how to water the rocks so as to steam the sauna more…lol, then, we would soak our bones in the jacuzzi, and after that, we would hop out, run to the pool, and do the Polynesian Plunge, as he would call it, and cannonball into the ice cold water of their super cool pool. He would speak of the health benefits of such a ritual and I never saw it as such, just some chill time with my Father, who was always away on business, and I so enjoyed one of the few times that stress did not shade our moments in his life. I will revisit this health regimen, Doc, and thanks for reminding me of a wonderful memory with my Dad and also how he did know a thing or two about health, although I never really saw it that way, then. 🌻
We have been using infrared lights in the early morning everyday as soon as we get up and infrared sauna in the evenings 3-4 times a week for nearly 2 years. We are at our 60s and 70s, have never been feeling this great for a long long time. Thank you Dr. Berg for what you have done for all of us!
How long are your sessions in the sauna?
@@steves1390 about 45 minutes 😊
3 beers= 40 minutes
@@jinnabeauchemin2086 thank you
I've been doing this as well for a few years using an infrared sauna at 128 degrees for 20 min. At that point I'm pretty soaked. 45 min is a lot of time so I'm curious as to what temp you use?
The thumbnail picture got me! You are amazing Dr Berg!
Please consider doing a Red Light / Near-Infrared (NIR) Light Therapy topic sometime!
Yes please red light therapy!!
When covid hit I put an infared sauna in my garage and have using it almost everyday for two years. I just started combining it this last summer with cold plunging just love it. Thanks Dr. Berg you are a blessing to the Internet!
Whats a good place to buy one
@@440tomcat Bro i Don’t know where your getting your info from but it couldn’t be more wrong 😅
Hi Patrick. I am purchasing an Infrared sauna and plan to install it in an unheated garage (I thought the basement would be too damp.). I live in Ohio. Have you had any issues with it being in the garage. What benefits have you personally experienced?
I’d love to do that. A gym, sauna and a ice bath.
Helping lower resting heart rate is absolutely true. I used the sauna on an almost daily basis. I had my regular medical checkups and my physician asked if I was an athlete as my heart rate was 48-50bpm. When I stopped using the sauna, the heart rate went back to 60bpm.
Yes, I did this for 4 months 6 days a week for a candida cleanse. I did it for 20 minutes following my the first sweat on my brow. I built up to doing it longer. There was a local spa that had a nice steam, dry sauna etc.
This is awesome for adverse effects of hysterectomy. I slept so much better and it helps with joints etc.
It's also excellent for skin.
Love the video - this is very interesting and verifies my experience.
The Native Americas had sweat lodges long ago too.
I love the thumbnail Dr. Eric!!!! I couldn't stop laughing 🤣 but I loved what you said about the Sauna because I take in liberty to go every week for about 15 to 30 minutes a day 5 days a week after a 3 hour workout at the gym after working a long 8 hour shift 💪🏽
I wish I had your discipline
That's very nice. Keep it up, okay?
@@ndines6237 I wish I had her time lol
Discipline!!!!I am inspired to do better
My blood pressure is lower can I use sauna after gym
Thank you Dr Berg! Joining a health club with sauna today! Too many benefits to pass up.
I've told a lot of people about your channel and herbal supplements. I hope they give you some business.
Dr. Berg I've been learning from you for 4 years now! You deserve the most credibility in this niche on CZcams, in my opinion. Can you please do a video on Myostatin? Thanks in advance, have a great day!
People with heart conditions are cautioned about saunas...
AND - I have actual experience of sauna treatments killing off Lyme disease. Have to hold your body temp to 102 or higher for 20 minutes or more, do a slow cool down. Twice a week for six weeks then weekly for 3 months. Repeat if you are still testing positive or showing symptoms...
Dr. Eric thank you for all the knowledge you're giving out!
As a Finn, who uses sauna almost every night I would add also that you keep yourself clean😃
I like the high efficiency stoves from your region and telephoned a manufacturing company there in 1996 inquiring if they made one for the US power specifications. 😢 perhaps now they do?
@@joeschleprock3409 , that IS strange.
Try taking Niacin and doing jumping jacks or burpees for 15 minutes before hand. You’ll sweat like you’ve never sweat in your life.
I moved to Sweden about 8 months ago (from the US). I've been using the sauna and going for cold dips into the sea for the last 8 months 2-5 times a week. I swear this is a ritual I will keep up the rest of my life. I feel so excellent every time after a sauna and cold bathing session. I typically spend about 1 hour between the sauna and the sea.
Wow. I literally started using the sauna for two weeks now and I think I’m addicted! I absolutely love it. Best sleep every!
Dr Berg you are amazing ! I just started using the dry sauna and it’s like you knew I needed to hear this. Btw I just bought your electrolyte powder and OMG what a difference it has made in my sleep at night. I used to wake up with horrible debilitating cramps in the wee hours of the night. Now I never get cramps anymore. God bless you Dr Berg!
I love saunas, been going there for years. Good to see a video about the benefits. Because most people are only talking about ice baths and cold water (like the Wim Hoff method). I knew Sauna’s are important too
Thank you Dr. Eric, great information & always a blessing to us all.❤
We have a infrared sauna and love it. Especially helpful during a cold or illness. It has helped my asthma immensely by lowering inflammation!
Stumbled across Eric several years ago during the earlier parts of my health journey. He is truly a treasure and trove of objective invaluable information. Great video!
Just started using whirlpool followed by sauna to help my workout recovery. I’m 64 and slim… doing resistance training and interval training to put on muscle mass and reshape my body. I’ve really been pushing it and increasing my weight and reps. The effects of the whirlpool and sauna on my recovery are outstanding. It has relieved the pain and stiffness I normally have for the two days following a hard workout. I feel amazing!!! Highly recommend it. Didn’t know about all of the other benefits. Thank you Dr Berg!!!
Wow! I really need to do this. Thanks for all of this information and all you do. I'm new to your channel and I've learned so much in just a couple of days❤🙏🏼
Great information, thank you so much Dr. Berg.❤🙏🏽
You're very welcome!

Hi Dr. Berg, can you do the same evaluation for Steam rooms? I love the steam room ☺️
Have not tried this. I wanna try it soon. Just the fact sweating feels so good, I can imagine how so much better this would feel.
Yes, I agree! Our family loves Dr. BERG! Real Quick... Dr. Berg, what temp should i set my sauna for, and for how long should i stay in it? I appreciate you and your recommendations.
In Finland you grow up with sauna, it's part of your life.
I’m jealous.
Always great information Dr Berg. Thank you. Saunas are a great way to unwind and relax. There was a time when I used to take sauna soon after aerobic sessions.
That's great. It is indeed relaxing. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you Dr.Berg.
Very interesting facts about sauna.
I have an infrared sauna and love it. I use it 3-5x per week , usually at 145 degrees for 20-25 minutes. It also has an infrared light feature - I use red at night and blue during the day.
I have an infrared sauna and it is fantastic. I have had a lot of benefits from it. I swear by them.

STEAM SAUNA IS BETTER
Dr. Berg is a gem 💎 His free information is always 100% better than swallowing tons of pharmaceutical products.
You inspire us with your content . God bless you !
My biggest problem with the gym sauna is I question how well or even if the employees clean the sauna? Many guys go in there and sweat buckets and ring their shirts right there in the sauna. I only go in there if I sense it's somewhat safe.
That thumbnail 😂 Thank you for all that you do, Dr.Berg❤
Love it, as always. Thank u dr Berg!!
How long the sauna bath? Or the Infra Red sauna? 15 min, 30 minutes?
Hi! Dr. Berg you are literally a life saver. Thank you for the awesome information.🥰😊🥰
This was more helpful to know, since I went through sympathetic activation due to stress.. Hopeful this will be help ❤

Great video. Personally I use the sauna at the end of my workout daily. My resting heart rate is below 48 bpm.
how long do you stay in the sauna after your workout?
@@keeb3095 usually stay in the dry sauna for 20 minutes. I bring a frozen water bottle to bring while it melts
On a second note: bring a earbud for music. Before u know it 20 minutes passes to quickly. Sometimes I go longer without realizing it
Can you please make video on the importance of chewing food properly before swallowing? Eating slow rather than fast.
Gunna do this man thank you bro.

Hi Dr. Berg, what about a steamroom/wet sauna? I assume those have similar benefits, but is profuse sweating in those to be avoided? Thanks - Brian
Very informative as ever. Any videos planned for steam room and spa / hot tub? Keep up the good work!
I would like to know the benefits of the hot tub use as well.
Thank you Dr. Berg. Grateful.
It's much appreciated.
Doctor Eric, two questions for you :
1. What type of person should NOT use a sauna? We hear so often that it could be dangerous for some.
2. For the rest of us, how long should we use it? And are there any recommendations on how hot it should be? Would be great if you can do another episode on that.
Thank you so much for your awesome insights! Love your videos!
Men who are trying to conceive should stay away from the sauna.
I guess ppl that use Botox shouldn’t use sauna too much
What about having hip implants
People with heart issues should be a bit cautious I've heard. It can be dangerous if u sit too long and it's too hot.
Have you seen Laird Hamilton’s process? He goes back and forth between chryo and sauna one after another. I think building that flexibility into the body’s cellular structure is pretty brilliant.
I absolutely love going to the sauna. I don't know how anyone can miss out on saunas. I have been doing it for years. I have done it for 14 days + before too. It makes you feel amazing and the more you do it, the more you get used to the heat. I can stay in for quite a while. People are always shocked at how long I can stay there. I do go out for periods and take a cool shower, cool down, and then go back in again. I don't want to overheat.
Dr Berg is amazing and love his work
I love going for a 30-min sauna session after a hardcore gym workout 💪🏻 All that hot steam makes me go into a deep relaxed mood and gives me a total serene zen moment!
Dry sauna is what he is taking about...not steam!
Been doing Dry Su
Sauna for 30 years. Fountain of Youth!
Steam? Not a sauna.
@@DixonDixon65 Dry? Whats that? Sauna is sauna then there is all these other things they like to add word sauna to. Puukiuas that is heated by burning wood and then modern sähkökiuas that warms with electricity.
Yesssssss!!!!!!
FACT
Great Topic Dr. Berg. I learn more watching your channel than I did in 4 years of Undergrad Biology.
Heat Therapy is a **Cheat Code** to treat Insulin Resistance/Metabolic Syndrome/High Blood Sugar
Metabolism booster before bed as I am noticeably leaner since implementing heat therapy.
I like the traditional sauna as well but below is a home substitute if you can’t access standard sauna
I have a nightly home routine:
1. 15 minutes in *hot tub* (hot bath will work just fine but add more hot water every 5 minutes)
10 minute break
2. *Infrared Sauna Blanket* -10 to 20 minutes while wearing a full sauna suit (top is long sleeve w/hood, and full length pants)
Speeds my metabolism and enhances my sleep. I’ve tried to skip sessions and end up getting out of bed to complete the heat therapy as it helps my relaxation and sleep tremendously.
Thank you Dr. !! Great information. Where can we buy them?
Education on this channel has thus far been exemplary. Doc even manages to throw in a few humorous pics in once in a while. Lol
Another side benefit is you can easily withstand prolonged 40 degree F showers after getting out of a sauna. Built one in my home and got the point where rubbing snow was great
Thank you Dr Berg for the info, please let us know how long a session in the sauna should be to benefit from daily.
15 to 20 minutes
He has helped me soooo much!
I recently purchased an indoor traditional sauna. Worth every penny. I use it everyday before I go to work.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:02 🌡️ *Sauna for growth hormone release: For a significant growth hormone boost, sauna at 80-100°C (176-212°F) for 30 minutes once a week, with intervals of 5-10 minutes outside the sauna.*
01:27 💓 *Sauna frequency and cardiovascular benefits: Sauna use 1-7 times per week for 30 minutes each time reduces the likelihood of dying from cardiovascular events, with more frequent use showing greater reductions (e.g., 50% reduction with 4 or more times per week).*
02:23 🛀 *Alternatives to sauna: Hot water bath or hot tub if no sauna is available; caution against extreme measures like running in sweats to prevent hypothermia.*
03:47 ❄️ *Cold exposure benefits: Uncomfortably cold conditions trigger the release of dynorphin, inducing heat shock proteins repair and enhancing endorphin receptor binding, resulting in a feeling of well-being.*
04:58 🌞 *Infrared saunas: Emphasizes the importance of high heat (up to 200°F) in traditional saunas compared to infrared saunas, which may not provide the same heat stimulus.*
06:50 🌐 *Spa experiences: Different sauna experiences, from very hot saunas inducing breathlessness to milder steam rooms; mentions specific places in New York like Spa 88.*
08:56 💦 *Ice bath techniques: Suggests moving limbs in the cold water to prevent a thermal sheath, promoting increased metabolism; recommends staying in open air after exposure for the cold to stimulate metabolic responses.*
10:05 🔄 *The Soberg Principle: Advises ending a combination of ice and heat therapy with cold exposure to maximize the metabolic benefits, referencing research by Susannah Soberg.*
11:16 🎙️ *Podcast proposal: Discusses the idea of recording a podcast in a sauna and cold plunge, suggesting a joint podcast with Lex Fridman in such settings.*

Same thing for the steam room? The steam room is actually my favorite and I get in 4x a week 😊
That's a great question, I'd love to have an answer. Have we found out anything?
I’ll look to see if you have a video on a steam room vs. a sauna, because I’ve always preferred the steam! My focus has been on building my house with a steam room…
Nice video as usual. It is my understanding that the effects of sauna last about 48 hours. I use a sauna several times a week, followed by a cold shower, and feel refreshed afterwards.
Been using traditional sauna about 15 months, so many benefits as mentioned, especially youthful appearance and soft skin😅
Hey Dan, wet sauna or dry? He doesn’t mention it in this video, unless I missed it.

Daily sauna user here, years and years. I need the sauna to live. After having covid I didn't sweat for over 2 months. This was my scariest post-covid symptom, above losing 60%+ of my hair. I had to work back up to my sauna sweats. I never understood why this happened. Metabolically, something changed at least for awhile. I would love to know what happened.
Did you get the jab?
@@CTX50 that's a good question, hopefully she'll answer!
I have seen several videos where Dr Berg says certain vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause excessive sweating or a lack of sweating. If I recall correctly, a vitamin B1 deficiency can cause both excess sweating and no sweating symptoms and an iodine deficiency can cause non-sweating symptoms. As far as I have learned, covid causes many vitamin and mineral deficiencies. That's why people have so many "weird" symptoms that linger after they get it. All these strange and random symptoms are actually just a bunch of different vitamin deficiencies.
@@GameChanger597 I saw somewhere that all the people that died, were all deficient in vitamin D!
It's our government poisoning all of us.

Thank you Doc! Btw I love your powdered electrolytes! The orange flavor is AMAZING
Not sure how hot a sauna is exactly, but I'm staying in the tropics during the European winter. It's 31C here, with a pretty high humidity. Feels almost like a continuous mild sauna to me...
Oh, and taking a cold shower is not possible here. 'cold' water is coldest early in the morning, before sunrise, but even then it's around 25C.
Mine runs around 65C
@@charlesh3751 oh, that's a lot higher than 31C. I'd be dead by now if it were that hot here for any time longer than maybe 30min max.
@@Poekieman yea i know what you mean. There's one at my gym that runs at 65C but I can only stand 10-15 mins in it before I have to get out
Videos like that of Dr. Eric Berg makes having free CZcams a gift to mankind. Seriously.
Glad to be an inspiration.
He is so positive and what is asked of one is not too over the top. One can only benefit …
Eric needs to be the top subscribed CZcamsr on this planet. Just gives us amazing life changing information for free!! My doctors would just prescribe me farma drugs for any issue I had. This dude is saving so many lives…
I have a question. If someone has a thyroid disorder do they need to worry about depleting their potassium with regular sauna use? And would any medication need to be regulate to account for that?
