00:00hey friends welcome back so in today's hey friends welcome back so in today's video we're going to take a deep dive video we're going to take a deep dive video we're going to take a deep dive into the health benefits of sauna into the health benefits of sauna into the health benefits of sauna therapy therapy therapy sono therapy is really hot right now sono therapy is really hot right now sono therapy is really hot right now there's a lot of people that are there's a lot of people that are there's a lot of people that are building their own saunas buying their building their own saunas buying their building their own saunas buying their own saunas own saunas own saunas many different health clubs have saunas many different health clubs have saunas many different health clubs have saunas people buy sauna blankets people buy sauna blankets people buy sauna blankets i'm a fan of whatever sauna therapy or i'm a fan of whatever sauna therapy or i'm a fan of whatever sauna therapy or heat therapy heat therapy heat therapy you can get access to and you can afford you can get access to and you can afford you can get access to and you can afford it all you can get access to is like a it all you can get access to is like a it all you can get access to is like a heated blanket and you wrap it around heated blanket and you wrap it around heated blanket and you wrap it around your legs after a long day of sitting your legs after a long day of sitting your legs after a long day of sitting i'm a fan of that and you'll you'll hear i'm a fan of that and you'll you'll hear i'm a fan of that and you'll you'll hear in this video and learn in this video and learn in this video and learn why that is beneficial and the health why that is beneficial and the health why that is beneficial and the health benefits of this from whole body glucose benefits of this from whole body glucose benefits of this from whole body glucose metabolism to metabolism to metabolism to improved microvasculature in terms of improved microvasculature in terms of improved microvasculature in terms of circulation circulation circulation for individuals that have poor for individuals that have poor for individuals that have poor circulation or varicose veins you might circulation or varicose veins you might circulation or varicose veins you might want to keep paying attention want to keep paying attention want to keep paying attention vital capacity or lung capacity vital capacity or lung capacity vital capacity or lung capacity obviously emit a respiratory virus obviously emit a respiratory virus obviously emit a respiratory virus pandemic this is important so you can pandemic this is important so you can pandemic this is important so you can improve your vital capacity improve your vital capacity improve your vital capacity when you go in the sauna from reducing when you go in the sauna from reducing when you go in the sauna from reducing dementia and alzheimer's and all-cause dementia and alzheimer's and all-cause dementia and alzheimer's and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality mortality and cardiovascular mortality mortality and cardiovascular mortality as we reviewed on a recent video 690 000 as we reviewed on a recent video 690 000 as we reviewed on a recent video 690 000 people died in the year 2020 from heart
01:00people died in the year 2020 from heart people died in the year 2020 from heart disease disease disease so this is why sauna therapy uh is so this is why sauna therapy uh is so this is why sauna therapy uh is medicine this is there's a lot of health medicine this is there's a lot of health medicine this is there's a lot of health benefits here benefits here benefits here there's been long term prospective there's been long term prospective there's been long term prospective studies that have followed cohorts of studies that have followed cohorts of studies that have followed cohorts of individuals individuals individuals showing that the frequency and the showing that the frequency and the showing that the frequency and the duration of sauna therapy reduces duration of sauna therapy reduces duration of sauna therapy reduces all-cause mortality all-cause mortality all-cause mortality cardiovascular mortality sudden cardiac cardiovascular mortality sudden cardiac cardiovascular mortality sudden cardiac death and there's a 65 and 66 death and there's a 65 and 66 death and there's a 65 and 66 reduction respectively in dementia and reduction respectively in dementia and reduction respectively in dementia and alzheimer's but that's not it the alzheimer's but that's not it the alzheimer's but that's not it the list goes on and on we're going to talk list goes on and on we're going to talk list goes on and on we're going to talk today about lung health bone health today about lung health bone health today about lung health bone health what happens to the bones and stem cells what happens to the bones and stem cells what happens to the bones and stem cells there's so much exciting stuff we're there's so much exciting stuff we're there's so much exciting stuff we're going to get into going to get into going to get into so let me flip this over so we can first so let me flip this over so we can first so let me flip this over so we can first talk about heat as medicine and really talk about heat as medicine and really talk about heat as medicine and really sauna as medicine but you can swap out sauna as medicine but you can swap out sauna as medicine but you can swap out sauna for an infrared blanket for an sauna for an infrared blanket for an sauna for an infrared blanket for an infrared sauna infrared sauna infrared sauna for even a hot tub because we're going for even a hot tub because we're going for even a hot tub because we're going to talk about this and explore this to talk about this and explore this to talk about this and explore this but first i just want to welcome you but first i just want to welcome you but first i just want to welcome you it's mike mussel as always i'm grateful it's mike mussel as always i'm grateful it's mike mussel as always i'm grateful that you were here if at any point that you were here if at any point that you were here if at any point you're enjoying this content please hit you're enjoying this content please hit you're enjoying this content please hit that like button that just lets me know that like button that just lets me know that like button that just lets me know that i should do more videos on this and that i should do more videos on this and that i should do more videos on this and i think i think i think what we'll end up doing is more sauna what we'll end up doing is more sauna what we'll end up doing is more sauna therapy videos because the science is
02:00therapy videos because the science is therapy videos because the science is overwhelming overwhelming overwhelming and i also want to thank this video show and i also want to thank this video show and i also want to thank this video show sponsor skillshare.com sponsor skillshare.com sponsor skillshare.com the largest and leading online network the largest and leading online network the largest and leading online network where you can learn a range of different where you can learn a range of different where you can learn a range of different skills from entrepreneurship skills from entrepreneurship skills from entrepreneurship to leadership to public speaking and i to leadership to public speaking and i to leadership to public speaking and i started using skillshare as i told you started using skillshare as i told you started using skillshare as i told you before back in 2012 before back in 2012 before back in 2012 to learn how to create photoshop to learn how to create photoshop to learn how to create photoshop thumbnails thumbnails thumbnails some of the thumbnails that you see on some of the thumbnails that you see on some of the thumbnails that you see on this channel i've made myself through this channel i've made myself through this channel i've made myself through learning skills that i learned from learning skills that i learned from learning skills that i learned from skillshare.com now skillshare.com now skillshare.com now what's really cool friends is you can what's really cool friends is you can what's really cool friends is you can get a free trial membership get a free trial membership get a free trial membership and the first 1 000 people that click and the first 1 000 people that click and the first 1 000 people that click the links below get access to this now i the links below get access to this now i the links below get access to this now i would take advantage of it because you would take advantage of it because you would take advantage of it because you can can can download their amazing app i use it download their amazing app i use it download their amazing app i use it right on my phone all the time right on my phone all the time right on my phone all the time when i'm out walking for example walking when i'm out walking for example walking when i'm out walking for example walking my dog in the morning my dog in the morning my dog in the morning getting natural sunlight in my retina to getting natural sunlight in my retina to getting natural sunlight in my retina to influence my body circadian clock system influence my body circadian clock system influence my body circadian clock system or feeding the chickens or feeding the chickens or feeding the chickens i'm learning and you should learn too i'm learning and you should learn too i'm learning and you should learn too they have amazing things to learn about they have amazing things to learn about they have amazing things to learn about how to manage your business how to how to manage your business how to how to manage your business how to assess the finances assess the finances assess the finances in your own personal household or in in your own personal household or in in your own personal household or in your business these are skills friends your business these are skills friends your business these are skills friends that are invaluable the link below the
03:00that are invaluable the link below the that are invaluable the link below the first 1 000 people that take advantage first 1 000 people that take advantage first 1 000 people that take advantage of that get a free trial membership of that get a free trial membership of that get a free trial membership after that after that after that it's under 12 a month for a membership it's under 12 a month for a membership it's under 12 a month for a membership so let's continue on with the science of so let's continue on with the science of so let's continue on with the science of heat heat heat now there's a lot of again we can go on now there's a lot of again we can go on now there's a lot of again we can go on about all the benefits but i just want about all the benefits but i just want about all the benefits but i just want you to sort of understand what happens you to sort of understand what happens you to sort of understand what happens when you get hot and your body's natural when you get hot and your body's natural when you get hot and your body's natural response to heat response to heat response to heat because that sort of will help you because that sort of will help you because that sort of will help you remember the health benefits of this remember the health benefits of this remember the health benefits of this and be able to sort of regurgitate this and be able to sort of regurgitate this and be able to sort of regurgitate this to other people to other people to other people okay so when you start to get hot the okay so when you start to get hot the okay so when you start to get hot the body has a natural mechanism body has a natural mechanism body has a natural mechanism to divert heat away from the core to the to divert heat away from the core to the to divert heat away from the core to the periphery okay periphery okay periphery okay so this starts to get hot i'm just going so this starts to get hot i'm just going so this starts to get hot i'm just going to draw like some scratches here i'm not to draw like some scratches here i'm not to draw like some scratches here i'm not a good artist right a good artist right a good artist right but you can understand you start to get but you can understand you start to get but you can understand you start to get hot so what's going to happen hot so what's going to happen hot so what's going to happen is blood flow is going to increase to is blood flow is going to increase to is blood flow is going to increase to the periphery okay so you're going to the periphery okay so you're going to the periphery okay so you're going to you're going to you're going to you're going to divert or shunt blood away from the core divert or shunt blood away from the core divert or shunt blood away from the core to the periphery now to the periphery now to the periphery now here's what's kind of cool about this here's what's kind of cool about this here's what's kind of cool about this you're getting a lot of blood going to you're getting a lot of blood going to you're getting a lot of blood going to your muscles your muscles your muscles people that don't exercise are not people that don't exercise are not people that don't exercise are not getting a lot of blood to their muscles getting a lot of blood to their muscles getting a lot of blood to their muscles now we're going to talk about the venous now we're going to talk about the venous now we're going to talk about the venous return in a moment here return in a moment here return in a moment here via this hunting response this is a
04:00via this hunting response this is a via this hunting response this is a physiologic response physiologic response physiologic response if you add in cold therapy on top of if you add in cold therapy on top of if you add in cold therapy on top of your heat therapy so your heat therapy so your heat therapy so you're stressing the system creating you're stressing the system creating you're stressing the system creating this rubber band effect this rubber band effect this rubber band effect as glenn talked about in the podcast we as glenn talked about in the podcast we as glenn talked about in the podcast we did with glen arba did with glen arba did with glen arba so that's in blue for cold we're gonna so that's in blue for cold we're gonna so that's in blue for cold we're gonna dive into that in a moment but let me dive into that in a moment but let me dive into that in a moment but let me just first unpack this this is the most just first unpack this this is the most just first unpack this this is the most critical lesson of this video okay so critical lesson of this video okay so critical lesson of this video okay so you start to get worm you start to get worm you start to get worm now what happens is this induces what's now what happens is this induces what's now what happens is this induces what's called called called nitric oxide you've heard of nitric nitric oxide you've heard of nitric nitric oxide you've heard of nitric oxide induced vasodilation oxide induced vasodilation oxide induced vasodilation your arteries can be dilated or your arteries can be dilated or your arteries can be dilated or constricted okay when you start to get constricted okay when you start to get constricted okay when you start to get hot there's natural mechanisms to induce hot there's natural mechanisms to induce hot there's natural mechanisms to induce some of the adaptations some of the adaptations some of the adaptations so your muscles that the smooth muscle so your muscles that the smooth muscle so your muscles that the smooth muscle on the microvasculature and on the microvasculature and on the microvasculature and your your blood vessels start to get a your your blood vessels start to get a your your blood vessels start to get a little work out a lot of people are not little work out a lot of people are not little work out a lot of people are not getting this workout because they don't getting this workout because they don't getting this workout because they don't exercise so exercise so exercise so people that don't exercise on a minimum people that don't exercise on a minimum people that don't exercise on a minimum should be in the sauna because you're should be in the sauna because you're should be in the sauna because you're getting getting getting a cardiovascular workout by just getting a cardiovascular workout by just getting a cardiovascular workout by just getting hot you're you're training those hot you're you're training those hot you're you're training those pathways so that you have more pathways so that you have more pathways so that you have more flexibility flexibility flexibility so there's uh all sorts of ways to sort
05:00so there's uh all sorts of ways to sort so there's uh all sorts of ways to sort of look at this of look at this of look at this with vasoflow mediated dilation with vasoflow mediated dilation with vasoflow mediated dilation there's arterial stiffness sort of tests there's arterial stiffness sort of tests there's arterial stiffness sort of tests with vascular with vascular with vascular elasticity different ways to look at elasticity different ways to look at elasticity different ways to look at this we did this with scott van der this we did this with scott van der this we did this with scott van der wehlen way back in 2015 where i did my wehlen way back in 2015 where i did my wehlen way back in 2015 where i did my own own own um vascular elasticity test so i'll link um vascular elasticity test so i'll link um vascular elasticity test so i'll link that video but but there's a lot of that video but but there's a lot of that video but but there's a lot of benefits to benefits to benefits to having uh you know endothelial health so having uh you know endothelial health so having uh you know endothelial health so the small little cells that comprise the small little cells that comprise the small little cells that comprise your vessels can become dysfunctional your vessels can become dysfunctional your vessels can become dysfunctional and that's called endothelial and that's called endothelial and that's called endothelial dysfunction dysfunction dysfunction endothelial dysfunction is sort of this endothelial dysfunction is sort of this endothelial dysfunction is sort of this prerequisite to developing prerequisite to developing prerequisite to developing further cardiovascular complications further cardiovascular complications further cardiovascular complications erectile dysfunction erectile dysfunction erectile dysfunction is due to endothelial dysfunction so is due to endothelial dysfunction so is due to endothelial dysfunction so for people that have sexual dysfunction for people that have sexual dysfunction for people that have sexual dysfunction this is a really a cardiovascular this is a really a cardiovascular this is a really a cardiovascular etiology etiology etiology in fact severe covid is endothelial is a in fact severe covid is endothelial is a in fact severe covid is endothelial is a is a disease of the endothelium i'll is a disease of the endothelium i'll is a disease of the endothelium i'll flash up a paper that has elucidated flash up a paper that has elucidated flash up a paper that has elucidated that okay so you get that okay so you get that okay so you get by getting hot you're exercising your
06:00by getting hot you're exercising your by getting hot you're exercising your endothelium endothelium endothelium again this is the functional unit of again this is the functional unit of again this is the functional unit of your cardiovascular system which is your cardiovascular system which is your cardiovascular system which is important important important now along those lines what sort of now along those lines what sort of now along those lines what sort of happens now happens now happens now you start to increase what's called you start to increase what's called you start to increase what's called angiogenesis in your skeletal muscle so angiogenesis in your skeletal muscle so angiogenesis in your skeletal muscle so you start to you start to you start to send blood to your skeletal muscle your send blood to your skeletal muscle your send blood to your skeletal muscle your skeletal muscles saying okay we don't skeletal muscles saying okay we don't skeletal muscles saying okay we don't know what to do with it so we're going know what to do with it so we're going know what to do with it so we're going to create these to create these to create these new blood vessels so angiogenesis is new blood vessels so angiogenesis is new blood vessels so angiogenesis is favorable favorable favorable in your muscle tissue so you start to in your muscle tissue so you start to in your muscle tissue so you start to create angiogenesis create angiogenesis create angiogenesis you start to improve microvascular you start to improve microvascular you start to improve microvascular circulation circulation in the micro vessels now i'm in the micro vessels now i'm in the micro vessels now i'm hypothesizing but i i hypothesizing but i i hypothesizing but i i think that probably there's some think that probably there's some think that probably there's some lymphatic return as well so you start to lymphatic return as well so you start to lymphatic return as well so you start to improve your improve your improve your lymphatic system now the immune system lymphatic system now the immune system lymphatic system now the immune system gets a lot of benefits when you get hot gets a lot of benefits when you get hot gets a lot of benefits when you get hot because what happens is you activate because what happens is you activate because what happens is you activate these things called heat shock proteins these things called heat shock proteins these things called heat shock proteins now the physiology of heat shock now the physiology of heat shock now the physiology of heat shock proteins we're not going to explore too proteins we're not going to explore too proteins we're not going to explore too much here much here much here but you know interleukin-6 and there's but you know interleukin-6 and there's but you know interleukin-6 and there's different interleukins that are different interleukins that are different interleukins that are short-term short-term short-term increased along with the heat shock increased along with the heat shock increased along with the heat shock proteins proteins proteins that favorably impact the immune system
07:00that favorably impact the immune system that favorably impact the immune system and signaling and signaling and signaling but also reduce free radical stressors but also reduce free radical stressors but also reduce free radical stressors so there's so there's so there's antioxidant response elements that are antioxidant response elements that are antioxidant response elements that are activated so a lot of people are activated so a lot of people are activated so a lot of people are concerned about concerned about concerned about free radicals there's this whole free free radicals there's this whole free free radicals there's this whole free radical theory of aging radical theory of aging radical theory of aging you can help to reduce the free radical you can help to reduce the free radical you can help to reduce the free radical burden in your body burden in your body burden in your body and all sorts of different immune system and all sorts of different immune system and all sorts of different immune system cells are activated or increased cells are activated or increased cells are activated or increased neutrophils monocytes macrophages t neutrophils monocytes macrophages t neutrophils monocytes macrophages t lymphocytes all of these things lymphocytes all of these things lymphocytes all of these things and their phagocytic capacity is and their phagocytic capacity is and their phagocytic capacity is improved when you go in the sauna so improved when you go in the sauna so improved when you go in the sauna so again everyone's concerned about their again everyone's concerned about their again everyone's concerned about their immune system now why not consider some immune system now why not consider some immune system now why not consider some therapy as an therapy as an therapy as an adjunctive lifestyle treatment that can adjunctive lifestyle treatment that can adjunctive lifestyle treatment that can help there help there help there the brain there's so many different the brain there's so many different the brain there's so many different benefits of the brain and i just benefits of the brain and i just benefits of the brain and i just elucidated elucidated elucidated and highlighted as during the and highlighted as during the and highlighted as during the introduction of this video introduction of this video introduction of this video some of the benefits in terms of some of the benefits in terms of some of the benefits in terms of outcomes with outcomes with outcomes with a 60 and 65 and 66 a 60 and 65 and 66 a 60 and 65 and 66 reduction in dementia and alzheimer's reduction in dementia and alzheimer's reduction in dementia and alzheimer's disease in a cohort disease in a cohort disease in a cohort that's been followed now for 26 years in that's been followed now for 26 years in that's been followed now for 26 years in finland finland finland um jonas lunkenhand then i think is how
08:00um jonas lunkenhand then i think is how um jonas lunkenhand then i think is how you pronounce his last name has been you pronounce his last name has been you pronounce his last name has been following this cohort following this cohort following this cohort and has there's been a lot of uh data and has there's been a lot of uh data and has there's been a lot of uh data that has been emerged from that that has been emerged from that that has been emerged from that personally you know what i found when i personally you know what i found when i personally you know what i found when i go in the sauna is just my memory just go in the sauna is just my memory just go in the sauna is just my memory just works better works better works better and part of that could be due to the and part of that could be due to the and part of that could be due to the fact that your fact that your fact that your your your brain you know the central your your brain you know the central your your brain you know the central nervous system tissue can't get too hot nervous system tissue can't get too hot nervous system tissue can't get too hot so your brain's trying to dump uh blood so your brain's trying to dump uh blood so your brain's trying to dump uh blood and so forth when you get hot send it to and so forth when you get hot send it to and so forth when you get hot send it to periphery periphery periphery and just improving the the circulation and just improving the the circulation and just improving the the circulation and probably through this angiogenesis and probably through this angiogenesis and probably through this angiogenesis or or or the micro vessels uh there's some the micro vessels uh there's some the micro vessels uh there's some improvement there there's also been a improvement there there's also been a improvement there there's also been a change in what's called brain derives change in what's called brain derives change in what's called brain derives brain derived brain derived brain derived uh brain natural hormone i think is what uh brain natural hormone i think is what uh brain natural hormone i think is what it is or peptide it is or peptide it is or peptide and this natures peptide is is involved and this natures peptide is is involved and this natures peptide is is involved in osmotic regulation in the blood in osmotic regulation in the blood in osmotic regulation in the blood uh when that's high it's it's linked uh when that's high it's it's linked uh when that's high it's it's linked with uh elevated blood pressure with uh elevated blood pressure with uh elevated blood pressure and if i haven't yet mentioned it that's and if i haven't yet mentioned it that's and if i haven't yet mentioned it that's one of the main benefits here there's a one of the main benefits here there's a one of the main benefits here there's a lot of people that have high blood lot of people that have high blood lot of people that have high blood pressure pressure pressure that are on blood pressure medications that are on blood pressure medications that are on blood pressure medications uh several different studies in uh several different studies in uh several different studies in people that that have elevated blood
09:00people that that have elevated blood people that that have elevated blood pressure and are wearing 24-hour pressure and are wearing 24-hour pressure and are wearing 24-hour blood pressure monitors there's an blood pressure monitors there's an blood pressure monitors there's an almost immediate reduction in blood almost immediate reduction in blood almost immediate reduction in blood pressure so this is pressure so this is pressure so this is amazing again why why is that well it amazing again why why is that well it amazing again why why is that well it has to do it's giving your has to do it's giving your has to do it's giving your microvasculature system a workout microvasculature system a workout microvasculature system a workout so again tons of benefits but let's talk so again tons of benefits but let's talk so again tons of benefits but let's talk about the bone so this is i think really about the bone so this is i think really about the bone so this is i think really interesting i'm drawing just a really interesting i'm drawing just a really interesting i'm drawing just a really crude crude crude bone here so we talked about blood bone here so we talked about blood bone here so we talked about blood moving all around moving all around moving all around when you get hot you're sending more when you get hot you're sending more when you get hot you're sending more blood to your bones blood to your bones blood to your bones and your bone responds by in by and your bone responds by in by and your bone responds by in by releasing stem cells so this is one of releasing stem cells so this is one of releasing stem cells so this is one of the benefits the benefits the benefits when it comes to longevity and when it comes to longevity and when it comes to longevity and associated effects of associated effects of associated effects of the sauna is you're improving red bone the sauna is you're improving red bone the sauna is you're improving red bone marrow and bone marrow circulation marrow and bone marrow circulation marrow and bone marrow circulation so again amazing because when else so again amazing because when else so again amazing because when else besides exercise are you actually besides exercise are you actually besides exercise are you actually causing stimulation of the causing stimulation of the causing stimulation of the you know the vessels and that demand to you know the vessels and that demand to you know the vessels and that demand to your bone your bone your bone not not many people are exercising not not many people are exercising not not many people are exercising sufficiently to cause sufficiently to cause sufficiently to cause uh increased circulation in the bone so uh increased circulation in the bone so uh increased circulation in the bone so to me this is exciting and there's been
10:00to me this is exciting and there's been to me this is exciting and there's been several studies that have found several studies that have found several studies that have found levels i think it was cd45 i could be levels i think it was cd45 i could be levels i think it was cd45 i could be wrong on that wrong on that wrong on that um but there was a it's a proxy of stem um but there was a it's a proxy of stem um but there was a it's a proxy of stem cell activation in the bone cell activation in the bone cell activation in the bone that was increased uh with sauna therapy that was increased uh with sauna therapy that was increased uh with sauna therapy so a lot of benefits here so let's just so a lot of benefits here so let's just so a lot of benefits here so let's just kind of summarize oh kind of summarize oh kind of summarize oh actually you know what i want to get actually you know what i want to get actually you know what i want to get into this hunting response so this is into this hunting response so this is into this hunting response so this is where contrast really comes in where contrast really comes in where contrast really comes in so let's just let's just pause i'm going so let's just let's just pause i'm going so let's just let's just pause i'm going to go off script here and kind of not to go off script here and kind of not to go off script here and kind of not that i was on script before but that i was on script before but that i was on script before but um you start to get really hot okay so um you start to get really hot okay so um you start to get really hot okay so you get all this you get all this you get all this blood is moving away from your core to blood is moving away from your core to blood is moving away from your core to your periphery okay your periphery okay your periphery okay so then what happens okay so your so then what happens okay so your so then what happens okay so your vessels are dilated vessels are dilated vessels are dilated the the adaptations the body is trying the the adaptations the body is trying the the adaptations the body is trying to do is dissipate heat dissipate heat to do is dissipate heat dissipate heat to do is dissipate heat dissipate heat sweat blood volume sweat blood volume sweat blood volume is you know you're moving a lot of blood is you know you're moving a lot of blood is you know you're moving a lot of blood around right your heart's working around right your heart's working around right your heart's working we'll talk about the heart again in a we'll talk about the heart again in a we'll talk about the heart again in a second now second now second now you're really hot and then you go into you're really hot and then you go into you're really hot and then you go into you take a cold shower you go into the you take a cold shower you go into the you take a cold shower you go into the ocean you go into a cold lake ocean you go into a cold lake ocean you go into a cold lake what happens cold it's the reverse okay what happens cold it's the reverse okay what happens cold it's the reverse okay so this is the magic i think of this so this is the magic i think of this so this is the magic i think of this rubber band theory that glennard has
11:00rubber band theory that glennard has rubber band theory that glennard has talked about talked about talked about where you get hot and then you get cold where you get hot and then you get cold where you get hot and then you get cold and naturally this is where you know and naturally this is where you know and naturally this is where you know saunas are positioned on a lake or saunas are positioned on a lake or saunas are positioned on a lake or a river near the ocean you know in a river near the ocean you know in a river near the ocean you know in different different different nordic countries and things like that so nordic countries and things like that so nordic countries and things like that so what happens is your blood vessels what happens is your blood vessels what happens is your blood vessels constrict when you get cold and blood is constrict when you get cold and blood is constrict when you get cold and blood is sent back to the periphery sent back to the periphery sent back to the periphery but it's not just once it's over a a 90 but it's not just once it's over a a 90 but it's not just once it's over a a 90 minute period this is where minute period this is where minute period this is where cold thermogenesis and heat combined as cold thermogenesis and heat combined as cold thermogenesis and heat combined as a therapy is really exciting because a therapy is really exciting because a therapy is really exciting because there's this phenomenon called this there's this phenomenon called this there's this phenomenon called this hunting response if you get hunting response if you get hunting response if you get cold and say your fingers are really cold and say your fingers are really cold and say your fingers are really cold cold cold and then you warm them up it's it's not and then you warm them up it's it's not and then you warm them up it's it's not like that's one and done like that's one and done like that's one and done your your muscles start to contract and your your muscles start to contract and your your muscles start to contract and then blood flow will increase again over then blood flow will increase again over then blood flow will increase again over the course of 90 the course of 90 the course of 90 minutes so this is what's really minutes so this is what's really minutes so this is what's really exciting a lot of people have exciting a lot of people have exciting a lot of people have peripheral edema peripheral vascular peripheral edema peripheral vascular peripheral edema peripheral vascular disease they have poor blood circulation disease they have poor blood circulation disease they have poor blood circulation poor blood flow poor blood flow poor blood flow you know cellulite and varicose veins in you know cellulite and varicose veins in you know cellulite and varicose veins in these things which are indicators of these things which are indicators of these things which are indicators of vessel disease so the science if you get vessel disease so the science if you get vessel disease so the science if you get hot and then cold in your periphery hot and then cold in your periphery hot and then cold in your periphery you're helping to return some of that
12:00you're helping to return some of that you're helping to return some of that junk that crap that stagnation junk that crap that stagnation junk that crap that stagnation there's a lot of research on stagnant there's a lot of research on stagnant there's a lot of research on stagnant lymph as being a driver of inflammation lymph as being a driver of inflammation lymph as being a driver of inflammation so so so this hunting response is cool because this hunting response is cool because this hunting response is cool because again this is sort of mediated again this is sort of mediated again this is sort of mediated unconsciously obviously you're not unconsciously obviously you're not unconsciously obviously you're not thinking about this but if you get thinking about this but if you get thinking about this but if you get really cold hands and then really cold hands and then really cold hands and then warm them up there's going to be a cycle warm them up there's going to be a cycle warm them up there's going to be a cycle of increased blood flow and muscular of increased blood flow and muscular of increased blood flow and muscular contractions without you even knowing contractions without you even knowing contractions without you even knowing about it over the course about it over the course about it over the course of 90 minutes which i think is is quite of 90 minutes which i think is is quite of 90 minutes which i think is is quite fascinating so fascinating so fascinating so let's go back here and sort of summarize let's go back here and sort of summarize let's go back here and sort of summarize i know i've been talking fast i get i know i've been talking fast i get i know i've been talking fast i get excited about this stuff i think it's excited about this stuff i think it's excited about this stuff i think it's really amazing in terms of a lifestyle really amazing in terms of a lifestyle really amazing in terms of a lifestyle modality a therapy a treatment modality a therapy a treatment modality a therapy a treatment so number one we in my estimation based so number one we in my estimation based so number one we in my estimation based upon the research upon the research upon the research and especially these prospective and especially these prospective and especially these prospective long-term studies in humans long-term studies in humans long-term studies in humans some of the benefits the the most some of the benefits the the most some of the benefits the the most interesting benefits are to the interesting benefits are to the interesting benefits are to the cardiovascular microvasculature system cardiovascular microvasculature system cardiovascular microvasculature system so we have here just overall so we have here just overall so we have here just overall cardiovascular microvascular health so cardiovascular microvascular health so cardiovascular microvascular health so you're exercising your endothelium which
13:00you're exercising your endothelium which you're exercising your endothelium which is the functional unit is the functional unit is the functional unit of your your blood vessel system so i of your your blood vessel system so i of your your blood vessel system so i think that's really exciting there's think that's really exciting there's think that's really exciting there's angiogenesis angiogenesis angiogenesis increasing there's endothelial nitric increasing there's endothelial nitric increasing there's endothelial nitric oxide synthase there's oxide synthase there's oxide synthase there's all these things are increased when you all these things are increased when you all these things are increased when you get hot so that's great so that's number get hot so that's great so that's number get hot so that's great so that's number one one one number two the muscle so we know that uh number two the muscle so we know that uh number two the muscle so we know that uh part of the adaptation is increased part of the adaptation is increased part of the adaptation is increased capillary density with exercise capillary density with exercise capillary density with exercise so exercise is great a lot of people say so exercise is great a lot of people say so exercise is great a lot of people say i don't have time to exercise i i don't have time to exercise i i don't have time to exercise i i don't like exercise i have bad hips i i don't like exercise i have bad hips i i don't like exercise i have bad hips i have bad this i have bad that okay have bad this i have bad that okay have bad this i have bad that okay well you still should exercise okay well you still should exercise okay well you still should exercise okay figure out something you can do but figure out something you can do but figure out something you can do but here's why sauna is great because you're here's why sauna is great because you're here's why sauna is great because you're also improving also improving also improving some of those vascular sort of some of those vascular sort of some of those vascular sort of adaptations that are linked with adaptations that are linked with adaptations that are linked with exercise and if you dovetail exercise and if you dovetail exercise and if you dovetail exercise with heat therapy that's even exercise with heat therapy that's even exercise with heat therapy that's even even better so that even better so that even better so that that is an option so the the musculature that is an option so the the musculature that is an option so the the musculature is getting a lot of blood is getting a lot of blood is getting a lot of blood and it has to deal with that blood and and it has to deal with that blood and and it has to deal with that blood and so you get improvements in circulation so you get improvements in circulation so you get improvements in circulation so that's cool so the muscles now so that's cool so the muscles now so that's cool so the muscles now the heart and the brain we already sort the heart and the brain we already sort the heart and the brain we already sort of talked about some of the outcome
14:00of talked about some of the outcome of talked about some of the outcome but what's not yet known is the direct but what's not yet known is the direct but what's not yet known is the direct effects effects effects on the myocardium which is the muscle of on the myocardium which is the muscle of on the myocardium which is the muscle of the heart the heart the heart and heat therapy and sauna stress we and heat therapy and sauna stress we and heat therapy and sauna stress we know that exercises know that exercises know that exercises exercise and aerobic exercise exercise and aerobic exercise exercise and aerobic exercise specifically directly affect the specifically directly affect the specifically directly affect the myocardium myocardium myocardium it's not yet known if sauna therapy or it's not yet known if sauna therapy or it's not yet known if sauna therapy or heat therapy directly impacts those heat therapy directly impacts those heat therapy directly impacts those musculature musculature musculature the muscles are but what is known is the muscles are but what is known is the muscles are but what is known is there is a reduction there is a reduction there is a reduction in blood pressure and an improvement in in blood pressure and an improvement in in blood pressure and an improvement in heart rate variability heart rate variability heart rate variability so h r v heart rate variability so h r v heart rate variability so h r v heart rate variability higher is better here we know that higher is better here we know that higher is better here we know that resting heart rate and pulse rate and resting heart rate and pulse rate and resting heart rate and pulse rate and all that all that all that you want that to be lower but heart rate you want that to be lower but heart rate you want that to be lower but heart rate variability is is sort of this crosstalk variability is is sort of this crosstalk variability is is sort of this crosstalk between the heart and the brain between the heart and the brain between the heart and the brain and improvements in hrv are two thumbs and improvements in hrv are two thumbs and improvements in hrv are two thumbs up up up just to make a long story short we've just to make a long story short we've just to make a long story short we've had many other videos on that had many other videos on that had many other videos on that but i have here an article um from a but i have here an article um from a but i have here an article um from a from a paper titled clinical effects of from a paper titled clinical effects of from a paper titled clinical effects of regular dry sauna bathing regular dry sauna bathing regular dry sauna bathing a systematic review and i would like to a systematic review and i would like to a systematic review and i would like to just read a few things just read a few things just read a few things uh here about vasodilation and so forth
15:00uh here about vasodilation and so forth uh here about vasodilation and so forth so mechanism of action sauna therapy so mechanism of action sauna therapy so mechanism of action sauna therapy several mechanisms several mechanisms several mechanisms of actions have been proposed of of actions have been proposed of of actions have been proposed of and so the title here is mechanisms of and so the title here is mechanisms of and so the title here is mechanisms of action and so the title here is action and so the title here is action and so the title here is mechanisms of action mechanisms of action mechanisms of action sauna bathing several mechanisms of sauna bathing several mechanisms of sauna bathing several mechanisms of action have been proposed for the health action have been proposed for the health action have been proposed for the health benefits benefits benefits of frequent sauna bathing exposure to of frequent sauna bathing exposure to of frequent sauna bathing exposure to heat increases cardiac output and heat increases cardiac output and heat increases cardiac output and reduces peripheral vascular resistance reduces peripheral vascular resistance reduces peripheral vascular resistance and induces other physiologic changes in and induces other physiologic changes in and induces other physiologic changes in the cardiovascular parameters such as the cardiovascular parameters such as the cardiovascular parameters such as decreased systolic or diastolic blood decreased systolic or diastolic blood decreased systolic or diastolic blood pressure so that's good we just talked pressure so that's good we just talked pressure so that's good we just talked about that about that about that increased heart rate variability we just increased heart rate variability we just increased heart rate variability we just mentioned that uh right here mentioned that uh right here mentioned that uh right here we have improved cardiac functional we have improved cardiac functional we have improved cardiac functional markers so this would be things like markers so this would be things like markers so this would be things like endothelial function vascular elasticity endothelial function vascular elasticity endothelial function vascular elasticity markers and so forth markers and so forth markers and so forth improved cardiac i'm sorry and improved improved cardiac i'm sorry and improved improved cardiac i'm sorry and improved blood flow mediated arterial and blood flow mediated arterial and blood flow mediated arterial and vascular vascular vascular dilation of the small and or large blood dilation of the small and or large blood dilation of the small and or large blood vessels vessels vessels regarding hormone and metabolic models regarding hormone and metabolic models regarding hormone and metabolic models reduce epinephrine and norepinephrine so reduce epinephrine and norepinephrine so reduce epinephrine and norepinephrine so these are markers of the stress response
16:00these are markers of the stress response these are markers of the stress response so those get reduced they're increased so those get reduced they're increased so those get reduced they're increased transiently but reduced transiently but reduced transiently but reduced successively over time increased levels successively over time increased levels successively over time increased levels of nitric oxide metabolites we talked of nitric oxide metabolites we talked of nitric oxide metabolites we talked about that about that we have decreased total and and ldl so we have decreased total and and ldl so we have decreased total and and ldl so cholesterol cholesterol cholesterol improvements in growth hormone we have improvements in growth hormone we have improvements in growth hormone we have decreases in decreases in decreases in fasting glucose and much more so fasting glucose and much more so fasting glucose and much more so regarding the muscle to go back regarding the muscle to go back regarding the muscle to go back there several studies in diabetic there several studies in diabetic there several studies in diabetic patients where patients where patients where they just have people that have type 2 they just have people that have type 2 they just have people that have type 2 diabetes sit and mature and they warm up diabetes sit and mature and they warm up diabetes sit and mature and they warm up their legs their legs their legs and they have improved glucose clearance and they have improved glucose clearance and they have improved glucose clearance in their legs so this is good in their legs so this is good in their legs so this is good because we've talked a lot about being because we've talked a lot about being because we've talked a lot about being sedentary how sedentary how sedentary how the the musk the the muscle tissue of the the musk the the muscle tissue of the the musk the the muscle tissue of the legs is select the legs is select the legs is select it can be sort of in insulin resistance it can be sort of in insulin resistance it can be sort of in insulin resistance can be induced in that can be induced in that can be induced in that that musculature and there's a that musculature and there's a that musculature and there's a predisposition towards predisposition towards predisposition towards uh insulin resistance development in the uh insulin resistance development in the uh insulin resistance development in the legs compared to the upper body so we've legs compared to the upper body so we've legs compared to the upper body so we've talked about that before so talked about that before so talked about that before so the list goes on and on and on um we the list goes on and on and on um we the list goes on and on and on um we talked about the bone and the stem cells talked about the bone and the stem cells talked about the bone and the stem cells and the improved circulation so you have
17:00and the improved circulation so you have and the improved circulation so you have again we have the vessels we have the again we have the vessels we have the again we have the vessels we have the muscle we have the heart brain muscle we have the heart brain muscle we have the heart brain connection connection connection we have bone we have the immune system we have bone we have the immune system we have bone we have the immune system and the heat shark protein antioxidant and the heat shark protein antioxidant and the heat shark protein antioxidant response elements so response elements so response elements so that is amazing the phagocytic capacity that is amazing the phagocytic capacity that is amazing the phagocytic capacity and last but certainly not least we have and last but certainly not least we have and last but certainly not least we have the lungs the lungs the lungs so we know that that vital capacity the so we know that that vital capacity the so we know that that vital capacity the ability to ability to ability to inhale and exhale large amounts uh and inhale and exhale large amounts uh and inhale and exhale large amounts uh and properly fuel the body uh with oxygen properly fuel the body uh with oxygen properly fuel the body uh with oxygen and and and and and and get rid of waste is is important right get rid of waste is is important right get rid of waste is is important right we know that this is important we know that this is important we know that this is important work especially right now during the work especially right now during the work especially right now during the mids of a respiratory virus pandemic mids of a respiratory virus pandemic mids of a respiratory virus pandemic where people are unable to oxygenate where people are unable to oxygenate where people are unable to oxygenate their blood and they're not able to get their blood and they're not able to get their blood and they're not able to get deep breaths well i mean we have a deep breaths well i mean we have a deep breaths well i mean we have a therapy here that that covers therapy here that that covers therapy here that that covers many different facets of what people are many different facets of what people are many different facets of what people are dealing with right now dealing with right now dealing with right now it's not being discussed so please share it's not being discussed so please share it's not being discussed so please share this message let's make it loud and this message let's make it loud and this message let's make it loud and clear clear clear that sauna is medicine we'll talk more that sauna is medicine we'll talk more that sauna is medicine we'll talk more about frequency duration about frequency duration about frequency duration in another video but just to make it in another video but just to make it in another video but just to make it real short here real short here real short here uh you know and we'll talk about the uh you know and we'll talk about the uh you know and we'll talk about the nuances in other videos nuances in other videos nuances in other videos go in as long as you can until you feel
18:00go in as long as you can until you feel go in as long as you can until you feel uncomfortable and so uncomfortable and so uncomfortable and so you know what i like to do we have a you know what i like to do we have a you know what i like to do we have a sauna that gets up to 230 degrees sauna that gets up to 230 degrees sauna that gets up to 230 degrees i don't go that hot every single day i don't go that hot every single day i don't go that hot every single day some days if i feel like i'm really some days if i feel like i'm really some days if i feel like i'm really recovered and life is recovered and life is recovered and life is good i'm not stressed out and you know good i'm not stressed out and you know good i'm not stressed out and you know feeling like i'm burning the candle at feeling like i'm burning the candle at feeling like i'm burning the candle at both ends because both ends because both ends because sauna therapy getting hot is a sauna therapy getting hot is a sauna therapy getting hot is a physiologic stressor physiologic stressor physiologic stressor okay so if you're already okay so if you're already okay so if you're already psychologically stressed mentally psychologically stressed mentally psychologically stressed mentally stressed stressed stressed um you know you did a hard workout you um you know you did a hard workout you um you know you did a hard workout you didn't get much sleep didn't get much sleep didn't get much sleep don't go beat yourself up in the sauna don't go beat yourself up in the sauna don't go beat yourself up in the sauna because that can you know you don't want because that can you know you don't want because that can you know you don't want to rob peter to pay paul to rob peter to pay paul to rob peter to pay paul and so you know some days where i'm and so you know some days where i'm and so you know some days where i'm feeling really burnt out really tired feeling really burnt out really tired feeling really burnt out really tired uh over trained or something like that uh over trained or something like that uh over trained or something like that overworked then you know what i'll go a overworked then you know what i'll go a overworked then you know what i'll go a little bit lighter in the sauna and go a little bit lighter in the sauna and go a little bit lighter in the sauna and go a little bit lower in the temperature little bit lower in the temperature little bit lower in the temperature days where i'm like let's go i got tons days where i'm like let's go i got tons days where i'm like let's go i got tons of energy feeling great of energy feeling great of energy feeling great so i'll do multiple rounds at 220 so i'll do multiple rounds at 220 so i'll do multiple rounds at 220 degrees right where i'm getting really degrees right where i'm getting really degrees right where i'm getting really really hot to the point of like oh my really hot to the point of like oh my really hot to the point of like oh my god i gotta get out of here god i gotta get out of here god i gotta get out of here so anyway i want you to use your so anyway i want you to use your so anyway i want you to use your intuition when you go in the sauna intuition when you go in the sauna intuition when you go in the sauna some people say well what about the some people say well what about the some people say well what about the infrared sauna what about the classic
19:00infrared sauna what about the classic infrared sauna what about the classic finish sauna finish sauna finish sauna the sauna that you can afford and the the sauna that you can afford and the the sauna that you can afford and the sauna that you will use sauna that you will use sauna that you will use is the best sauna for you if you're not is the best sauna for you if you're not is the best sauna for you if you're not going to take the time to going to take the time to going to take the time to build a fire to make you know a warm build a fire to make you know a warm build a fire to make you know a warm classic finish sauna and you just want classic finish sauna and you just want classic finish sauna and you just want to set it and forget it turn on a button to set it and forget it turn on a button to set it and forget it turn on a button then the classic finish sauna with a then the classic finish sauna with a then the classic finish sauna with a wood burning stove is not for you wood burning stove is not for you wood burning stove is not for you you should get an inference on us hit you should get an inference on us hit you should get an inference on us hit the button and go the button and go the button and go downside within fred sauna is it's a dry downside within fred sauna is it's a dry downside within fred sauna is it's a dry heat heat whereas you get a real wet heat because whereas you get a real wet heat because whereas you get a real wet heat because you're pouring water on the rocks in on you're pouring water on the rocks in on you're pouring water on the rocks in on the wood burning stove so they are the wood burning stove so they are the wood burning stove so they are different yes different yes different yes but there still is benefits of an but there still is benefits of an but there still is benefits of an infrared sauna infrared sauna it's called wound therapy n it's called wound therapy n it's called wound therapy n in japan there's a lot of research in in japan there's a lot of research in in japan there's a lot of research in japan on infrared sauna so japan on infrared sauna so japan on infrared sauna so those are sort of benefits now if you those are sort of benefits now if you those are sort of benefits now if you don't have access to any of those don't have access to any of those don't have access to any of those you can do use a sauna blanket check out you can do use a sauna blanket check out you can do use a sauna blanket check out higherdose.com higherdose.com higherdose.com no financial affiliation but they do no financial affiliation but they do no financial affiliation but they do sell us on a blanket so there's a lot of sell us on a blanket so there's a lot of sell us on a blanket so there's a lot of different things you can do different things you can do different things you can do let's just make a healthy living great let's just make a healthy living great let's just make a healthy living great again and encourage people to get again and encourage people to get again and encourage people to get warm because of all these benefits to
