how silly are we to not compare ourselves to our environment and how it operates... we are chemistry like everything else, and temperature with the positive flow of energy through momentum of matter and energy, breeds the ability to be malleable enough to survive our environments psychologically ( positive flow of energy through our thought frequencies ) and physically ( through the very momentum that we create by using thermal, kinetic and finally potential energy to shape the matter within our chemistry ). Temperature is what breaks us down and builds us back up. I'll leave the process of ingesting our environments to turn into fuel another day ( solid, liquid, gas ) which is our very chemistry in symbiotic harmony.

Also curious what your opinions are on the effects of sauna use vs. traditional cardio on fat loss. Seems like with the huge increase of GH, sauna use might be able to replace cardio use.

I'd conjecture that you could try cold showers or ice baths for some of the same benefits, though I'm not sure about the nootropic effects (increased myelination) you mentioned in your post. Just have a few data points (myself included) that cold showers are "the bees knees." There is definitely a similar dynorphin-endorphin response, enhanced exercise recovery, and other benefits, along with the possibility of weight loss though BAT recruitment. And it's much harder to hurt yourself though intermittent cold exposure.

Now my question is how dangerous was that? 1979 I was running 4 minute miles. It took 5 miles to warm up for the one mile run. People thought I was crazy back then but hell we all seen brotha Bruce Jenner do his thing . What a motivation.

NWforager Right, but in a 120f sauna the temperature right outside your skin never reaches 120f because you're surrounded by your aura (idk about the scientific term). Just like how 0c outdoors will feel colder if it's windy (because it disturbs your aura) water pouring down on you doesn't have to be as hot as 120f to have the same effect. It seems logical but I'm not sure, that's why I'm asking.
@djthedadiofficial

VanQuishi Boundary Layer is a gradient between two areas of differing temperature. In this case the sauna (~120f) and the skin temp (~85f). Depending on humidity, air pressure, and most importantly velocity profile of the medium a boundary layer forms with a certain thickness. This happens because the medium (air in this case) is a poor conductor of heat, air near the skin cools and as long as there is low movement, you are wearing an invisible coat in a sense. The higher the velocity of the medium of transfer, the smaller the boundary layer until we approach Tbody = Tair.

Should the scrotum be protected with a cool pack during hyperthermic conditioning, or is heating the testes part of the treatment?

In this video, she said that 2x 1 hour sessions per day can increase growth hormone by up to 1600% above baseline in men. To clarify, does this necessarily mean its safe to do 2x 1 hour sessions per day in a sauna at 80c (1 hour continuously). I have never spent much time in Saunas, but surely 1 hour in a room at 80c cant be good for your brain, it sounds like it would "fry" you. I'd love to get confirmation on this that it is safe to do (for your average young male in good health)

It doesn´t mean to sit one hour straight, just like exercising for one hour doesn´t mean you are constantly doing push ups and bench presses one hour straight. Take a few minutes of rests, maybe a quick shower and get back to it. Problem is boredom and restlesness more than pain or that you can´t take the heat. Plus two hours a day that just goes away on sitting and sweating, is not very productive even if the health benefits are plenty for it. If you go to the gym, do it 20-30 minutes after your sessions, 3-4 times a week and you got it champ!

Would a home sauna unit provide the same results? I'm wondering if there is a difference since a home sit-down unit does not cover the head. Also, how would the average person use your findings to improve health? How long in the sauna would benefit the average person after lifting or running?

That is a good question, I do not know the answer. Regarding the second question, use your judgement. If you just killed it after a long run, a 20 min. sauna session may be plenty. Make sure you stay hydrated.

So your saying that when you first start using heat stress you won't sweat as fast as long or much. The more acclimated we are to heat stress the quicker and more we will sweat? I've notice this with my personal experiences as well. The more I use it the more I sweat

Interesting, have you read the literature on heat stress inducing a strong prolactin effect? Because I’m a bit concerned that it could lower my dopamine and motivation by increasing prolactin so much.

I keep pretty fit. 5 times per week x2 hours . Swim at HIIT twice or 3 times per week. But what I incorporate is a steam room exercise regime with variable breathing and all over body shaking for 45 minutes. Drinking plenty of fluids. What I do is start with slow deep breathing and meditation with legs propped against the wall at 60 degrees angle. Then, luckily, there is a ice cold hose pipe to cool down. Then the fun begins: I breath really fast standing up for 1 minute , followed immediately by extremely fast for 1 minute, followed by quick body shaking from head to toe. Then repeat 3 times without a break. Followed by ice cold hose down and deep breathing. That makes up 1 block of HIIT / SIT. I do 4 blocks . The result? I used a heart rate monitor and it gets my rate each time to 182 bpm . Far more than I achieve in the pool ( usually up to 156 bpm going absolutely flat out for 50 m). After a proper cold shower ( shampoo, clean teeth, mouthwash, shave , hairdry) … I’m exhausted . But this exercise regime is brilliant and I feel great ( the next day). Thing is, I shouldn’t be 182 bpm though. I’m 63. But I’ve being doing it for months . Do you know what, if I ever went to jail, I’d exercise with deep and fast breathing in a 7*5 foot cell.

The GH increase seems great, but effects on the production of sperm (Sertoli cells of the testicles) is something I have heard has been negatively affected. Would that also possibly mean you damage the Leydig cells in some ways and thus inhibit testosterone synthesis to some effect?

Yes, you have a great question here, superheating the gonads would impact the leydig cells. if you look up testicular icing, there is evidence it increases testosterone by roughly 3 20%. Do some research, Im just passing this along. Basically superheat the body, and ice the testicals

Dr. Patrick, Wow! This is wonderful information. I have for years been a big fan of what you are calling hyperthermic conditioning. Along with lots of regular distance running, trail running, cycling, yoga, as well as a very clean omnivorous diet, the steam room and sauna at my favorite spa has always felt great and even essential to my overall health. I'm almost 41 and always get a surprise response when I tell them how old I am. Anyway, thanks for the extensive info on this topic. I'm hoping it will be more convincing to my friends who have resisted regular trips to the spa. Cheers! Keep up the great work! August

Dr. Rhonda Patrick. We have a conondrum that we are wondering about. If cold hinders hypertrophy and sauna / heat helps hypertrophy. What about doing both? We have a sauna 85 degrees a 4 degrees icebath and after training we do both. What are the effects? Do they help eachother, promote hypertrophy or does it nothing? Or do Ice win over Heat? Hope you understand my question, love your content. Best regards from Sweden.

After sifting through the research, I've come up with some things that are worth paying attention to. Firstly, many of the studies were performed on rats/mice and have NOT illustrated any effect in human trials. They are sourced to "illustrate mechanisms," which is fairly weak in terms of human physiological research, as it rarely translates directly into human functioning. Secondly, the studies performed with humans were completed with extremely small sample sizes. Just because the results "complimented" the other studies, does NOT mean that they apply to significant population. The woman producing the information for this video/website went out of her way to avoid linking the studies directly, and she summarized each study in layman's terms throughout her source list. This is a very common tactic used to distract people from the actual research because searching the original sources would require a lot more effort, which most people would rather not do. This automatically puts the credibility of the author in question. She even admits that the sample sizes are "tiny," yet she puts weight on the results, which again, mean nothing significant. Looking into several of the studies individually, not only are these sample sizes tiny, they use populations such as "8 highly trained athletic males." This is such a tiny portion of a population with so many extra variables that I don't even want to get into, but what's worth noting is that these studies are almost ALWAYS done on MEN. This is because with women's cyclic hormone cycles, everything from body fat to basic energy levels is up in the air. It is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to measure anything physiological with women's fitness scientifically, even studies that claim the benefits of HIIT have only been tested with men! While I'm sure many women swear by it, enjoy it, and see results with it, the point I'm trying to make is that research is a very finicky thing that you need to really dissect before articulating the results. There is tons of research to be done on women, and it's been discussed using women on hormonal birth control because their cycles have been regulated, but again, that won't translate to the general population. But putting that aside, even the studies that DO claim to have found results with their small, specific samples, they are either testing something that barely relates to the topic at hand (like the combined affects of citalopram - a common antidepressant - and external heat, to use one sited study as an example), or they admit that there is still tons of research to be done and that their conclusions don't have any definitive evidence of anything due to unbalanced variables and poor samples. WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, if you feel good and look good after the sauna, go for it! Just don't try to use a sauna that's 80C degrees like some of these studies suggest because that will literally boil your body and result in a very hot and probably quick death!

OK, yes, the basic axiom of science is: “Skepticism is the only tool to find the truth.” BUT let’s not ‘throw the baby out with the bath water.’ This Chelsea makes a mountain out of a molehill. Dr. Rhonda openly stated the studies were with mice and the human samples were tiny. That does not prohibit her from discussing them. And there’s no “tactic…to distract” for some vague reason. Besides, even tiny studies with mice or human samples are still valuable indicators and lead to larger, better-funded studies. In the meantime, there’s little harm in adopting the valuable indicators. And her other vids, such as her interview with “Bruce Ames on Triage Theory, Longevity Vitamins & Micronutrients,” show that she’s extremely knowledgeable about an infinitely complex science - especially compared to the hordes of other “experts” (like Chelsea) out there. And snarky Chelsea referred to Dr. Rhonda as “The woman producing…” C’mon, she knew her name. Then her slur: “tactic used to distract people” slanders Dr. Rhonda’s motives and credibility. Sheesh!

I'm 71 and use the sauna 5 to 6 times a week for 20 minutes. Plus workout daily and eat healthy. That being said. If I tried 2 one hour sauna sessions in a day. I think I would be leaving that sauna on a stretcher. YIKES. After a 45 minute weight lifting session or a 60 minute spin bike ride. And my usual 20 minute sauna session. I'm exhausted.
