Sauna bathing 4-7 times per week can dramatically improve your healthspan Regular use is associated with reduced risk of: • Hypertension • Dementia-related death • Respiratory-related death • Cardiovascular-related death Plus, lower all-cause mortality And the benefits are dose-dependent—the more frequent the use, the more robust the effect If... show more

Not to mention the mental benefits of overcoming hard things. I’m usually fine until the last few minutes and have to force myself to calm down and endure.

Any studies or an opinion as it relates to kids using a sauna? Is there an age where sauna use can benefit kids?

How big are these benefits in people who already have a high VO2max?

Sauna benefits appear to be dose-dependent The more frequent the sauna use, the more robust the effect Dr. Jari Laukkanen's observational research found that 4–7 sauna sessions per week, 20 minutes each at 174–194°F, were linked to a: • 40% lower all-cause mortality • 50% lower cardiovascular mortality • 63% lower risk of sudden cardiac death At 2–3 sessions per week, the all-cause benefit shrinks to ~24% For the strongest cardiovascular signal, the target appears to be 4+ sessions per week, at least 20 minutes each, at ~174°F+

Regular sauna use is associated with powerful reductions in dementia risk and overall mortality A 20-year Finnish study (~2,000 people) found: • 2–3 sauna sessions/week → 24% lower all-cause mortality • 4–7 sessions/week → 40% lower all-cause mortality • 4–7 sessions/week → 66% lower dementia risk, 65% lower Alzheimer’s risk In other words: the more frequent the sauna use, the more robust the effect

Joe Rogan talks about a fascinating Finnish study that found some pretty insane benefits associated with regular sauna use. According to the study, people that used the sauna 4 to 7 times a week, had a 40% decrease in all cause mortality... compared to those using it only once per week. The study also found associations with a lower risk of cardiovascular death, with longer sauna sessions (20 minutes or more), associated with even greater cardiovascular benefits. cc:

Regular sauna bathing might be one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for cardiovascular health In Finnish data from Dr. Jari Laukkanen’s group, men who used the sauna 2–3 times per week had ~22% lower risk of sudden cardiac death vs. once weekly (at 4–7 times per week, that risk was ~63% lower) Sauna use also lowered all-cause mortality (24% lower at 2–3x/week, ~40% lower at 4–7x/week) and cardiovascular mortality (~50% lower at 4–7x/week), with similar dose-dependent reductions in stroke and hypertension Optimal parameters: ~174–179°F sauna, 20–30% humidity, about 20 minutes per session, at least 2–3x/week (with 4–7/week giving the biggest benefits)

Regular sauna use (4–7x weekly) is associated with a 50% lower cardiovascular-related mortality and a 40% lower all-cause mortality These benefits occur because heat exposure from sauna use closely mimics the physiological effects of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise Similar to a workout, sauna sessions raise your heart rate, boost core body temperature, increase blood flow, and induce sweating When combined with regular moderate exercise, sauna bathing provides additive benefits by further enhancing cardiorespiratory fitness, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure beyond exercise alone

Sauna is my number one longevity intervention after exercise and diet. A lot of what happens in the sauna overlaps with what happens during exercise, and sauna can even add to the benefits you’re already getting from exercise, including bigger gains in aerobic fitness and reductions in blood pressure. Then there’s the long-term data - using the sauna 4 to 7 times weekly is associated with a 40% lower risk of all-cause mortality, a 50% lower risk of cardiovascular-related death, and up to a 66% lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Combined evidence from the physiology, exercise trials, and long-term data is a big part of why I take deliberate heat exposure seriously (and why you should too).

The more frequent the sauna use, the more robust the effect Here's an example: All-cause mortality is 40% lower in people that use the sauna 4-7x/week And only 20% lower in people that it 2-3x/week A general guideline: Aim for 20 minutes at 174 ºF, 4x/week

Sauna 4+ times per week can cut your risk of dying from a cardiovascular event by about 50%. Andrew Huberman explained this on Lex Fridman’s podcast. Using traditional saunas (80–100°C for ~30 minutes), the benefits increase with frequency: twice a week gives a solid reduction, but four or more times per week is where the data gets really impressive. A large 2015 Finnish study (Laukkanen et al., JAMA Internal Medicine) following 2,315 middle-aged men for ~21 years found that, compared to sauna once per week: - 2–3 times/week → 27% lower cardiovascular mortality - 4–7 times/week → 50% lower cardiovascular mortality (and 40% lower all-cause mortality) These associations held after adjusting for multiple confounders. It’s one of the most compelling lifestyle habits with strong observational data behind it. Have you incorporated sauna use into your routine? How often, and have you noticed any benefits?

What if simply sitting in a sauna could supercharge the benefits of exercise? Dr. Jari Laukkanen’s research shows that people who exercise and use the sauna have lower a all-cause mortality than those who only exercise Even more compelling? Studies reveal that adding sauna sessions to aerobic exercise boosts cardiorespiratory fitness beyond exercise alone The optimal dose: At least two sessions per week for benefits, with four or more linked to a staggering 40–50% drop in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality And the best part? You don’t need extreme heat—just 175°F for 20 minutes is enough to unlock powerful benefits

Frequent sauna use is strongly linked to reduced dementia risk, but going too hot might actually reverse that benefit One study found dementia risk increased among individuals consistently bathing at sauna temperatures above ~212°F (100°C), compared to those staying below ~176°F (80°C) This is just an association, but it might be wise to exercise caution until we have more data Keep it under ~190°F (still hot enough for benefits, without unnecessary risks)

Tony Robbins is all-in on saunas. He does them 4 days a week for just 20 minutes at 160+ degrees. According to him: - Reduces heart attack risk by over 51% - Reduces stroke risk by 62% He says even people who never worked out start showing up because it feels good — and after a month, many naturally want to move more. Large Finnish studies following thousands of people for over 20 years found that using a sauna 4–7 times per week reduced fatal heart disease risk by 63% and all-cause mortality by 40% compared to once-a-week users. In our stressed, sedentary world, this is one of the simplest, most evidence-backed habits for heart health and longevity. Have you tried regular sauna use? Did you notice any benefits?

You see sweat. Your body feels the heat. 🔥 And there’s more happening than a towel working overtime. 😂 Heat raises your heart rate and increases blood flow to your skin. Sauna sessions can also help you unwind and may ease muscle soreness. I use my infrared sauna 3–4 times a week, sometimes in the morning and sometimes after training. It’s a chance to slow down and give recovery some attention. 💪🏾 The research is interesting, but context matters: many of the long-term heart-health findings come from traditional Finnish saunas, so we can’t assume every infrared session delivers identical benefits. 📚 Research on PubMed: • Clinical Effects of Regular Dry Sauna Bathing: A Systematic Review — PMID: 29849692 • Cardiovascular and Other Health Benefits of Sauna Bathing: A Review of the Evidence — PMID: 30077204 Training gets a place in your diary. Recovery deserves one too. Are you a regular sauna user, or do you walk out after two minutes questioning your life choices? 😂👇🏾 #InfraredSauna #Recovery #MensHealth
