STOP Using A Sauna Without These (Sauna Protocol For Detox)
00:00if one doesn't consider the following protocol they might actually be doing more harm than good when using a sauna so for those of you who are brand new to my channel my name is lucas and my mission is to bring you guys the most cutting edge health information that you'll struggle to find on google so please like this video hit that subscribe button below and if you have any questions or comments throughout the video feel free to leave them in the comment section below and i'll personally aim to respond to every single one so today i'm here to talk to you about what we need to do to maximize our sauna experience and i've actually broken it down into three key areas so i make this first of all i must stress this disclaimer that the information depicted here is purely for informational purposes only please consult your healthcare professional before making any changes
01:00to your lifestyle or routine so here are some of the key benefits of sauna usage we know that sauna usage will enhance aerobic performance and if you think about it using the sauna is like a mild stress on the body it's a form of heat stress and so the body responds by upgrading the infrastructure of various organs and cells in the body to withstand future stresses so there are multiple studies that demonstrate that using a sauna can improve aerobic performance and specifically vo2 max and lactate threshold using a sauna will also improve one's cardiovascular function so reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease it can strengthen the immune system by boosting t cells it also detoxifies heavy metals and plastics from the body it can reduce cortisol in the long term
02:00that's due to its effect on the parasympathetic nervous system and then it can also raise our endorphins and opioids and finally can also enhance circulation so before using a sauna one must check the following so it's important to avoid eating a large meal about 45 minutes prior to using a sauna as we don't want our body's resources to be focusing on digestion and assimilation and breakdown of nutrients instead we want to shift the body's resources and priorities towards detoxification purging waste and eliminating toxins from the body we also want to ensure that we are adequate adequately hydrated this is absolutely crucial as using a sauna is possibly the most dehydrating activity any human can be doing really
03:00we also want to avoid alcohol that should be a no-brainer we want to avoid using um we want to avoid using the sauna immediately before bed now this is because sauna usage can actually raise body temperature and keep it elevated for multiple 2-3 hours after using the sauna so and we know that when our core body temperature is elevated during sleep it can actually impair sleep quality and i've personally noticed this myself i've seen major disruptions in my sleep scores when using a sauna just before bed and then in addition we want men to be packing or preparing an ice pack and i'll get to this in just a second so here's my pre-sauna protocol about 30 minutes prior you can see the diagram on the right-hand side that goes through all of the different pathways of detoxification
04:00and the various nutrients and compounds required and on the left hand side i've listed out key supplements and protocols and compounds to specifically target each of those pathways so you'll see me mention a lot of these ingredients if you want to know where to purchase them you'll see links to them in the video description below i'll have them all linked below so check that out so first of all we want to enhance fat breakdown so we can do this using the flush form of niacin vitamin b3 which actually causes a flushing and vasodilation effect which leads to a rebound in lipolysis and actually mobilizes toxins from fat cells into the bloodstream to be prepared for detoxification so number two we also want to enhance bile release and function and we
05:00can do this with the three ingredients listed on the left we have tutka which is a form of bile acid it's a water-soluble bile acid i've spoken about the benefits of turkey on my channel numerous times it can regenerate the liver improve liver function and support other organs as well so you'll see a link to that in the video description a thousand milligrams of taurine and 500 milligrams of artichoke extract all of those will have a powerful effect on increasing bile release from the gallbladder and even production in the liver and that therefore will help as a natural detoxifying agent and also help with creating stool to then pass toxins and pollutants in our feces number three we want to capture and bind heavy metals using something known as liquid zeolite also
06:00known as clinoptilolite so we need about four drops of this liquid zeolite again that will be linked in the video description below that there has a positive charge and it can bind to heavy metals and help to excrete them from the bloodstream and and also it clears out these heavy metals through our urine and number four we have clear plastics slash xenoestrogens so we want to use about 500 milligrams of calcium d-glucarate which inhibits better glucoronidation which is basically a way in which the body recirculates estrogen so we want to inhibit that enzyme to recirculate these xenoestrogens number five we have support methylation so about a thousand milligrams of trimethylglycine
07:00will help with improving osmolytic balance in the body so helping with electrolyte status um and it also donates glycine and can be used to increase methylation um so about thousand thousand milligrams of trimethylglycine can be used as well so you'll see links to those products in the video description if you want to check that out okay now during the sauna um i've outlined three points um the first one is to ensure that we're well hydrated we want to be drinking from a glass bottle of you know using a glass bottle to actually drink our water from not using plastic as the heat can actually lead to plastic leeching into our water and actually causing more toxic toxicity and then adding in some redmond real salt so about a teaspoon of redmond real salt
08:00then from a fertility protection perspective men must ice their balls slash testes to prevent sperm damage now i've spoken about this on my channel before but basically this is really crucial for preserving testosterone production and fertility in men because traditionally using a sauna or a heat is known as a male contraception form of male contraception because it can damage sperm cells and then number three i added in optional oxytocin booster is to sauna with someone you love or you're attracted to as uh that in general we all know that hanging around hanging out with someone that we're attracted to will release oxytocin and oxytocin in and of itself is generally very nourishing and pleasurable so that's an option
09:00then we have our post sauna stack so we want to enhance antioxidant capacity of the body so hopefully you would know this that glutathione is the master antioxidant in the body and everyone talks about n-acetyl cysteine which is a really common supplement but there's a newer form of nac known as naset n acetyl cysteine ethyl ester that has a much better bioavailability and absorption compared to regular nac so about 100 milligrams of assets can be used to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and multiple tissues to help with increasing glutathione production number two we also want to again with an asset you'll see a link to a particular product below there's literally only one vendor in the world as i'm recording this right
10:00now who's actually making an asset number two we have uh replenish electrolytes so about 300 300 mils of about of pure coconut water is most ideal post sauna as well so guys thank you for listening in i hope you've learned something new and i hope that this video will enhance your overall sauna experience and rapidly improve your health if you like this video please share it around please like the video and help support my channel by sharing my channel around and if you want to see some more cool bio hacks and health optimization tools and strategies check out my website ergogenic.health as i've got lots of amazing content and products there so thank you for tuning in and i look forward to seeing you in the next video
