Sauna Biohacking: An Introduction

The science of sauna biohacking and the benefits of infrared frequencies. I have been a huge fan of sauna therapy for my entire life, and I have learned a great deal along the way. I summarize my understanding of how to best implement the sauna for maximum biological benefits, which include detoxification and heat shock protein amplification. I’ll also review how you can get the benefits of photobiomodulation from your sauna by using heat bulbs that also provided near- and mid-infrared frequencies.

Saunas are used to help people recover from illness or injury. Biohackers use saunas to boost their immune system and improve overall health. Infrared frequencies are used to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. Heat bulbs provide both near- and mid-IR frequencies.

Saunas are very effective ways to cleanse the body. Infrared frequencies are used to activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

Sauna therapy is used in Finland, in the spa culture of multiple Eastern European countries, and used by many celebrities to boost their health and even lose weight. It’s a booming industry, used to boost weight loss, help preserve muscle mass, boost cardiovascular health, relieve pain and inflammation, yes, even help manage autoimmune diseases like MS, rheumatoid arthritis, and more!

The benefits of sauna biohacking

These benefits are a summary from Dr. Mercola.

• Biological benefits of sauna therapy include detoxification, heat shock protein amplification and photobiomodulation (PBM)
• The key to achieving efficient detox and heat shock protein amplification is making sure the sauna is hot enough. Most of the research documenting sauna benefits use a temperature range from 160 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit
• The duration of each session, and the frequency of use, are also important. The sweet spot appears to be about 20 minutes, four to seven times a week, in a 174-degree F. traditional sauna
• Other benefits of sauna use include improved cardiovascular fitness and reduced all-cause mortality, lower blood pressure, reduced dementia risk, improved mental health, strengthened immune function, improved athletic endurance, reduced inflammation, stem cell activation, improved insulin sensitivity and a reduction in stress hormones
• An ideal infrared sauna will heat up above 160 degrees F., and include not just far-infrared but also red, near- and mid-infrared frequencies for PBM benefits.

Sauna Benefits Deep Dive and Optimal Use

Heating up helps improve your cardiovascular system, lowers your blood pressure, reduces your risk of dementia, improves your mood and mental health and reduces symptoms of depression, strengthens your immunity, activates your stem cells, reduces inflammation, lowers cortisol levels, increases interleukin 10 and 6 (myokines) and activates nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2). Heating up also helps activate your stem cells.

The health benefits of saunas

Saunas are very effective for health purposes, but there are some things you need to know about them before you use them. First, you must be careful when choosing your sauna. You should choose one that is well ventilated and has an exhaust system. Second, you want to make sure that you clean out your sauna after each session. Third, you should always wear proper clothing while using your sauna. Fourth, you should never leave your sauna unattended. Fifth, you should stay under the temperature of 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Sixth, you should take breaks every 30 minutes or so. Seventh, you should drink plenty of water while using your sauna because dehydration can cause serious problems. Eighth, you should avoid drinking alcohol while using your sauna as this

The Science & Health Benefits of Deliberate Heat Exposure

Heat stress converts white fat into brown fat, which burns more calories than white fat. Sauna bathing increases the production of growth hormones, which helps you burn more calories.

Heating up your body increases your metabolism and burns more calories. Heat stress converts white fat into brown fat. Brown fat is rich in mitochondria. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells.

Why is heating so beneficial for health?

The answer is that it increases our body temperature, and then brings it back to baseline. Our body’s natural response to increased temperature is to produce heat shock proteins, which are necessary for our bodies to repair damaged cells. This is a good thing, because it means our body has the resources to repair cellular damage from things like free radicals, trauma, and even stress. In addition, heat can also be used to increase the flow of fluids, which can be beneficial for people who are dehydrated.
