@Joe Rogan - As a custom sauna builder there were many great points made here. Although, the most critical benefit for athletes such as yourself, and UFC Fighters is to use a sauna in combination with a cold plunge pool. The increase of heart rate allows the blood vessels' the ability to expand and contract with changing pressure while bathing in a sauna. Followed by cold water therapy which can also help improve your circulation, deepen your sleep, spike your energy levels, and reduce inflammation in your body along with many other great benefits! The use of saunas and cold water therapy in combination provides an extreme health benefit. (USER DISCRETION: This method is intended for well conditioned athletes, as risk of shock to the body may cause harm. Always consult with your doctor before using either of these activities.)

[@TheCho22]

I used to do that when I lived in Russia. It felt like I had lightning coming out of my fingers.

[@BestKCL]

I've heard that it's always "COLD➡️HOT" and _never_ "HOT➡️COLD" because the former can actually mess up your circulation. Part of this... thing that I heard was that the Norse did hot at the end, and that the Ancient Chinese did cold at the end -- and that the Chinese were unknowingly hurting themselves by doing this. Now, personally I feel like I can attest to this through experimentation. A hot➡️cold shower will leave my legs tingling after a few minutes of sitting down more readily than a standalone cold shower would. This phenomenon will always last until my next hot shower. So in conclusion, I think it's very much worth it to de-constrict your vascular system so that it doesn't residually stay somewhat constricted after a cold immersion.

​@@wave6604 bullshit. Sweat is 99% water combined with a small amount of salt, proteins, carbohydrates and urea, therefore, sweat is not made up of toxins from your body, and the belief that sweat can cleanse the body is a myth. you cannot sweat toxins out of the body. Toxins such as mercury, alcohol and most drugs are eliminated by your liver, intestines or kidneys. Go take a shit for your detox

@@oiyan-l1m Your body doesn't eliminate certain heavy metals very easily and some do come out through sweat. It is really only a concern if you expect you have heavy metal exposure, etc. Sauna is proven to help sweat them out, but just working out and living an active and healthy life style pretty much does the same thing. Literally every other imagined toxin and such is handled like you suggest, though. It is mostly woo-woo bullshit, but the heavy metals through sweat is well studied and not specific to saunas.

She had to point out on a sign that it says for safety liability I can't be in there for more than 10 mins at a time. Like really ? I have done this multiple times a week for years. What a Karen.. about time I buy my own.

[@timomastosalo]

The studies show that the heat has the bigger health benefits, than sweating. Steamroom gives you more sweating, that detoxifies even more. But if you don't have a high amount of toxics in your blood system, you don't need that high amount of detoxification per visit. But you can actually sweat a lot in the sauna, that's why you throw the water on the stoves - so the 'dry sauna' is a bit misleading: simply sauna or traditional sauna. It's drier than the steamroom, but much more humid than normal air - plus you regulate that yourself by throwing the water with the ladle or scoop. And, some infrared saunas have caused house fires, plus as a health risk, be sure they don't create high amount of emf, electromagnetic field. I see these two to the category of technocraze with a new fad that's implemented too hastily. Remember: saunas and steamrooms have been tested for 1000s or years: they were made functional before there was even England, nor USA. So be patient and thorough in research if acquiring an infrared sauna- personally Id wait a decade or 2... but then they might be out of fashion... While saunas and steamrooms continue. Ben likes to exercise in the infrared sauna - OK, fine why not. The benefits of traditional sauna come from having increased blood circulation, heart bumping without exercise. And it's mentality meditative without pushing yourself: it's Wind-out with capital letters all the way through: the art of Being instead of Doing. Or Slow Time instead of fast pace and stress. It's mentally beneficial to learn to let go for a moment or two. Part of the beneficial endorfines come from that: lose the control for a while - and notice you can afford that. More like you gain from that, recharge your inner batteries. Let your mind wander - you're free for a half an hour or 2-3 hours in the sauna, likely in the steamroom too, except 2 hours of sweating doesn't sound possible. So: you regulate the pace of sweating by stepping out the cool down a while, and re-enter the heat or steam. And the relaxation sneaks in like an old friend - surprising you, but in a good way.

Saunas are broadly categorized into steam room (room is heated with steam from boiling water, much more humid), dry saunas (electrical heater heats up rocks, you can throw water on rocks for additional humidity), and IR saunas (heated with panels that produce infrared heat.

[@I_THE_ME]

@@JohnDoe-fg9ng Your "dry" sauna is actually just the basic sauna, which the electric sauna is a subtype to.

[@Ayan-bp4dq]

@@s.bizier5826 All the long term studies were on dry saunas. Doesn't necessarily mean steam rooms are definitely inferior in terms of overall health benefits (they're better for certain things, the two might be complementary), but you get more guarantees from dry saunas, backed up by more and longer term studies, if you choose to do one or the other.

When I'm in infrared sauna I bring the troops

extra crispy

[@Iwanttotravelto]

Hey Joe. I got mold-poisoned in a dry sauna that had a crazy amount of mold. I am never doing that dry sauna thing again without looking under the bench. Have a look at this crazy issue at Gold's Gym: kzbin.info/aero/PLYafvNsaL1NsBGwXU9FvKjiOwqWXPK0Ue

This guy does not understand thermodynamics. The thermal energy increase of the skin is the same (dry vs Infrared), only the mechanism by which the skin heats up is different. It doesn't matter what is heating up the skin. It is the dose (thermal change of the skin) and time of exposure that will cause physiological changes downstream,

[@Frogman214]

Until you check the infrared wave penetration of the tissue. And, we're not talking red light therapy bulbs.

[@jax5108]

Please post any peer-review research on IR skin penetration. I would be very interested to review it. I was only aware of such potential effect being theoretical.

One problem is that the vast majority of the public don’t know how to evaluate medical research. This is a perfect example. This research has a sample size of 10 participants. Impossible to discount the Null hypothesis of random influence. Results can not be statistically significant. There is no way to suggest causality from this very small study, not peer reviewed. Anyone can post on ncbi/pubmed. This really doesn’t show cause and effect. Not even close. I could get into the thermodynamic limits of their IR evaluation but I won’t bother. The study isn’t valuable.

so, is the windows finally activated

[@winstonian88]

There are other benefits to saunas, but detoxication is not one of them. Your skin is not an effective elimination organ. Any endocrinologist will tell you this. There are decades of peer-reviewed studies on the topic. Detoxification via sweating is one of those alt-health myths that just won’t die. I love Joe, but I really wish he was more scientifically grounded and not so gullible sometimes.

[@ChieftainHawke]

It just detoxifies your pores. So people who have a lot of dirt and bacteria under their skin

[@I_THE_ME]

@@ChieftainHawke If you have dirt and bacteria under your skin, it's called an infection.

[@jesswest6151]

I believe detox isn't limited to sweating. Urine samples post sauna have some differences as well.

[@aszh]

Detoxing through sweat is likely to be real, science studies have shown this to be true.... the fact that sweating 'doesn't eliminate toxins' could be the greater myth to keep you from being healthier, depends what science you trust .. theres more than one side ... sweat does help to detoxify the body no doubt ... measuring it in a study has been done but likely wont be as popularly promoted

[@aszh]

Sweat has shown to have higher levels of toxins compared to urine and stool especially metals....stop the capping

EMF exposure?

[@beardown1995]

It’s amazing I made to the end of this drivel with all the misinformation in the video. A sound less than 165F is for wimps much less 155F. Even 165F is for small children and those with medical conditions. Just sit in the sauna and relax. No exercise. No screens or phone. No eating or drinking. Very little talking.

[@jeroenconinx6121]

An infrared sauna is a dry sauna.

[@vincelombardi2669]

no. Dry sauna is an electric unit that heats rocks up like a wood stove would be. You can add water to the rocks. IR unit doesn’t heat up rocks.
