Good presentation, did not care for advertising AG1, but you forgot to mention the rather large Finnish study showing that three times a week 20-min sauna can lower your risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s by up to 66%. I am a Finn living in Santa Monica, CA and naturally I’m the process of building a genuine Finnish sauna on my roof deck. Sauna is the best stress relief
As a Finn I feel like I need to weigh in with some thoughts, common sense and anecdotes about sauna. It's a traditional way of relaxing and a reason or excuse to socialise and drink a cold beer. The Finns are the most religious sauna goers in the world (1-7 times a week for 30-60 minutes is considered perfectly normal at 80-120C), yet Finns don't make any special claims about sauna. Cardiovascular diseases are a common national level disease in Finland, despite us using sauna so much, and no doctor will prescribe you sauna as treatment for anything. It's time people stopped treating it as some sort of magic health bullet and fad and try to skip healthy lifestyle by going to sauna. You lose all the benefits of sauna relaxing you if you're all the time stressed about optimising your health with it. You don't go to movies to optimise your health and skip working out. Have you considered eating a normal diet instead of AG1? I mean you're working with anatomy, surely you know to not fall too deep to supplementation industry's claims.

I completely agree. A science based channel shouldn’t advertise bulls*it. It doesn’t wipe away my trust in the channels information, it confuses me as to why they’d back it though.
tbh i feel the same, yeah we all understand trying to get cash to keep videos coming but when your giving people recommendations or information and saying its scientific or factual then we're gonna lose trust and feel mislead same with betterhelp, i immediately lose faith to anyone who thinks they can take their bag for the sake of my mental health or others while pretending to care.
Right. I do both sauna and cardiovascular exercise (treadmill, rowing, 25-50 mile road bike, mountain hiking/climbing). I can vouch for the differences between the cardio experience. I would say this. If you have mobility issues or are warming up for stretching or at the end of resistance training the sauna is a good option but it isn’t a replacement for cardio.
When I was younger, i was invited to a friend’s family house for dinner. They made homemade greek salad. We hadn’t seen each other for about 5 years. When i ate the salad, i encountered a large garlic clove not wanting to spit it out at the table, so i swallowed it. Later i went for a run and then went to the sauna… everyone else left quickly because the garlic smell in the swear was overpowering 😂
Thank you for this comprehensive presentation. You have an international audience and giving temperatures more often in Celsius would be convenient. Also a comparison of infrared / dry heat / humid heat saunas would be interesting.
@@theanatomylab Hello 👋 could you please reupload this video with the conversions? Temperature is an integral part of this topic, so the mixed bag of Celsius and Fahrenheit in the speech AND infographics gets confusing real quick 😵💫
I live in Finland, I have two saunas, indoor and outdoor 😅, almost everyone here have easy access to sauna if they don't have one, but almost all houses and apartment buildings have their own.
@@rickgauden He talks of physical health benefits, Sauna is much more than that. You should educate yourself. Internet is filled with info about Finnish sauna culture.
Finland is of course famous for dry saunas. But Finland is is not unique about bathing structures. Roman empire was centuries ago famous for thermae. And those thermae were much more impressive. These were complex public bathhouses that included various rooms for bathing at different temperatures, such as the calidarium (hot room), tepidarium (warm room), and frigidarium (cold room).
I've been recovering from adhesive capsulitis over this past year and the only thing that really helped with the pain and tightness was taking baths at 104-110°...it's also a great way to shut off your chronic physiological anxiety for a few hours
I been religiously doing a dry sauna 3 to 4 times a week for 34 years (started in 1990). 180 degrees F, completely dry no steam or water on the rocks. Started out going to the gym to do them until mysteriously in the late oughts all the gyms started turning to the heat down in them to low to be effective. I then got an infrared sauna which would go up to 167 degrees F, and it was very good but not as good as a regular sauna that has electric heat coils. Later I got a real one that gets up to as high as 190 or 180 degrees which my husband and I still do 3 to 4 times a week. I usually go inside it and sweat til I need to get out and do that 3 times. Exercising and doing cardio before the sauna does make it feel better at the end. I think one of the main benefits is how well it improves my mental well being. I won't go into it but I've some major trauma happen at different times in my life and I think the relief from sorrow that the sauna temporarily provides after getting out actually saved my life! And not bragging but people often tell me that my skin looks very healthy for a 64 year old. 🙂
My wife and I have a very similar story. We invested in a traditional wood-burning sauna and a cold bath. The greatest benefit to me is is good mental health. I too have suffered trauma and different times of my life. Sauna has increased my mental resiliency.
Ive been hitting the sauna consistently 4 times a week for over a year, i can confirm i do believe it helps a lot, my skin/ acne is better, my cardio is better, my heat resistance is better (it gets really hot where i live), my recovery is better, my body does sweat a LOT more pretty easily but in general it doesnt smell as bad, i also think its helped a lot with hypertrophy as i always hot the sauna after the gym, and as someone who has some bad sinuses that seem to clog all the time, it helps a ton with that too, my go to to always a minimum of 10-15 and with average of 15-20 and some 30 minute sessions every now and then,
What an amazing episode! Thank you so much for this incredible input. As a biomedical researcher it is just fascinating to me to learn about the anatomy of the human body. Thanks for the physiological insights! Keep going dear IOHA Team!
@@Cosmogirl_3 are you annoyed that a video not specific to US audiences is being asked to include literally every other country’s audience by showing degrees Celsius? Man, you Americans are so self-centred.
Great content! I’ve recently started focusing more on my gut health and seeing the benefits. I love how you mentioned the role of probiotics - they’re a game changer!
I have dysautonomia and heat is very difficult for me to deal with, I get dizzy, breathless and presyncope simply having a shower, so I avoid heat and humidity as much as possible for my own safety. This video was really interesting, thank you.
Most likely because dysautonomia interferes with the heat response. Your nervous system isn't reacting the way described in the video, which makes the body "malfunction" when exposed to heat.
I mainly do wellness days with sauna for stress management. So it's part of those big 4 for me. If it's also having positive outcomes above and beyond that, that is an additional benefit.
I have used the sauna to increase my heat tolerance - it does help. I live in SC but have always had a hard time handling the heat. If I exert myself when it’s hot and humid I can get a headache that lasts all day (yes I pre-hydrate, stay hydrated, take electrolytes) . I found if I am regular in the sauna over winter, then it takes less time for me to stand the heat when it warms up.
PS: Also to add there is a dramatic difference (better) by using Infra Red Sauna (eg MagMed / Physiotherm) over regular 'hot air' saunas, as the former (working with light not direct heat) enables you to stay in far longer, train your body to sweat better and all the mentioned cardio benefits too. I used and operated such a unit in my small clinic for several years with noticable benefits (for myself and clients)
i love my liver and kidneys so much more after these near daily reminders of the importance of of the circulatory system as a whole! These videos are amazing. Thank you!🙏
As always awesome content. Please do a follow up to this about cold plunges, cold plunges and sauna combination, its benefits, and cares that should be taken if following such routines.
I have been to Sauna all my life of 56 years, just like my grand parents 100 years ago.. Sauna used to be the only wash place people had, it also was used for giving birth!
my grow tent diy sauna, which only get's to 130F, allows me to get my HR anywhere from 100 to near my max (~high 170s), depending on body position ... standing and marching in place or single leg balance for example vs crosslegged seated doing a forward fold. so you can pretty much dial in which HR zone you are mimicking with some experimentation.
I have a few questions I hope someone will be able to answer. 1. When you had first mentioned the hypothalamus it made me think back to surgeries I had over a decade ago where part of my hypothalamus was removed (part of getting rid of seizures). I haven't noticed any issues with regulating body temperature, but I was curious how something like this may impact a person's ability to regulate heat. 2. When you mentioned the basal rate of heat production (7:40) it reminded me of the term basal metabolic rate. What is basal? What does it mean?
I saw some study that was saying that up to 18 times increase in the growth hormone levels were seen in participants, who stayed in a sauna for 1 hour a day (split in parts).
I love sauna, have built one at home. Where I live it doesnt get colder than 15 C in winter and gets up to 36-39C in summer. I use sauna all year round, at least 3-4 times a week. Its the best place to meditate, listen to a podcast or just chat with someone, who comes inside. Lately I've found that I sleep much deeper after a good sauna.
@@theanatomylab Hello, I have a question. I'm a very busy 40 year old person. I have a very demanding career, vey busy outside of work. I have a busy family life. I get little sleep. I am very conscious about my diet and food intake. I am not able to run or work out anymore, but am in pretty good shape. But I feel changes in the inside of my body. I do not have time in my life to properly take care of my body. But am still wanting to keep the edge. I take cellucor c4 pre work out to keep going. It has mostly natural and safe ingredients. Can you recommend anything I can take on a daily basis to strengthen my body. Been feeling alot of bone and muscle pains in the past couple of years. Mentally I am strong, body appearance is strong. But I feel like I am falling apart on the inside. I very much hope to hear your feedback and info. Thank you.
Hey there, thanks for another great video! Do your comments also apply for steam rooms? As you have mentioned temperature and humidity levels, I felt the question was reasonable to be asked. Thanks again.
Great video! ery enjoyable and informative to watch. I do have one question: In the beginning of the video, you translated the Fahrenheit to Celcius (when referring to body temperature). But for the sauna temperatures, you didn't. Is there a reason for the inconsistency? Regards, from your european watchers 😉
I started questioning everything, especially government health advice! After reading "Health and Beauty Mastery" by Julian Bannett, I completely changed my habits. This book reveals so many shocking truths about the health industry!
CrossFit athletes use cold plunge after a workout to prevent muscles soreness. If you use sauna after a workout, lactates circulate very well in your body, possibly causing muscles soreness. Which (cold or sauna) is a better strategy for maximum fitness benefit?
In My Opinion. Dry sauna = unpleasent warm room. infrared sauna = only makes your skin hot and insides cold. steam room = pleasent warm and moist olso makes your airways open up really good.
@@harvia8348my experience is that IR makes my entire body very warm indeed. For me it happens much faster than in a dry sauna. No opinion on steam room.
Michigan's UP has a large Finnish population. Plunging into Lake Superior is always super cold. (Assuming you can get thru the ice in winter) Also its Sow-nah not saw-nah if you are Finnish descent. ❤
Finn here! It's definitely pronounced SA-U-NA. Think of how you say "summer", "Uno" and "number" and use those sounds to form a proper pronunciation. Cheers!
My Finnish sea captain grandfather would go to the "Swedish Baths" after coming into port. My mama said he did it frequently because he had very sensitive skin and it helped him a lot. He captained many ships and sailed into many ports; but, San Francisco was home port. One of his ships is anchored there under her original Scottish christening name, Balclutha.
I used to do saunas followed by a cold plunge, is there any benefit from the cold plunge after the sauna? Cold plunge was either leaving the sauna and running into a snow bank or ice bath. We'd sauna for 10 min do cold plunge and repeat 2-3 times!
From my experience a cold plunge is essential for a good sauna session. I would like to say I know what the science is but all I can say is it makes me feel incredibly well when returning to the sauna after a cold plunge. Euphoric is the word I would use.
Work for what exactly...? It's a place for washing, relaxing, socialising and warming up after a long day. 😅 I know I know I'm a Finn we don't count but it sounds like asking "do sofas really work" or "how useful is a garden, really?" Anyway enjoy it, no need to overthink the benefits!
What a great channel, some serious knowledge here I wish doctors had.... ya know, about humans!! So glad to hear to dispell the myth of all these health gurus spouting "it detoxifyyysss the boddyyy"... give me a break lol. Would Love to see you do one on steam rooms, not really a fan of dry saunas. The steam has all those benefits plus the lungs.
It would be interesting to see what the Extremes of heat do to the body. Firefighters are constantly exposed rapidly to heat. I would be interested in seeing the damage their job takes.
I am able to spend close to an hour in a 167 degree sauna. I do this regularly. Maybe 2 times per week. I feel great doing it. Can there be any negatives aside from the possibility of dehydrating? I drink plenty of water while in there.
Some gyms have sauna/steam room facilities. Is it advisable for one to use the steam room/sauna before or after exercising, for how long and which one is best between sauna and steam room and what are their purposes in terms of pre- or post-gym and is it like safe for a person with a history of kidney stones?
I've never been able to get an answer about a sauna vs. a hot tub. Don't both accomplish the same thing of elevating body temperature to the point of heat stress?
If spend long time in hot tub it feels about same after than being in sauna. But sauna experience is totally different with sudden hot steam coming from stove.
Surprised you didn’t discuss some of the recent studies that found similarities between deliberate heat exposure and altitude training. Also, instead of using sauna there are other forms of heat exposure which are just as - if not more- effective such as overdressing during cardio (eg. Indoor bike with no fan and wear extra layers).
Would you dive into red light therapy? I’ve heard anecdotal stories supporting claims of reducing inflammation or anti-aging effects on skin… but is there any true science to back it up?
Is sauna also linked to decrease in fertility (in men) because of the heath? It would be very informative to know if there's also a flip side to these cardio-vascular benefits
If I could afford to have/use a sauna 4 times per week I imagine I would be even healthier. Currently I can't buy a sauna, don't have one nearby, and don't have the spare time to sit around in one for any length of time. More money and less stress leads to longer, healthier life. That checks out!
What about the production of heat shock proteins during heat exposure? I've seen from numerous sources that they have a big positive effect on healing etc.
BURPEES! Sauna: Steam room; jacuzzi, cold DIIIIIP! Also you never mentioned how it promotes physiological adaptations to exercise by increasing chaperone production!

I do have one question: In the beginning of the video, you translated the Fahrenheit to Celcius (when referring to body temperature). But for the sauna temperatures, you didn't. Is there a reason for the inconsistency?
Regards, from your european watchers 😉
I started questioning everything, especially government health advice! After reading "Health and Beauty Mastery" by Julian Bannett, I completely changed my habits. This book reveals so many shocking truths about the health industry!
Ok bot
What congratulations you're waking up
Sauna and cold plunge are some of the most sacred of sacred cows in the great biohacker information silo.
CrossFit athletes use cold plunge after a workout to prevent muscles soreness. If you use sauna after a workout, lactates circulate very well in your body, possibly causing muscles soreness. Which (cold or sauna) is a better strategy for maximum fitness benefit?
Cold plunges after workouts help with muscle soreness but can be counterproductive for muscle recovery. They work better during rest days.
I love your videos. Does it need to be a dry sauna to get the benefits or does a wet sauna/steamroom provide the same benefit? If so, same duration?
I’ve fm and dry heat sauna is the most effective way at managing my pain
There are dry saunas, far infrared saunas, and steam rooms. Are there any differences to the type of heat?
In My Opinion. Dry sauna = unpleasent warm room. infrared sauna = only makes your skin hot and insides cold. steam room = pleasent warm and moist olso makes your airways open up really good.
Steam rooms are very good in winter to prevent getting the cold ( sickness ).
The Romans did this
@@harvia8348my experience is that IR makes my entire body very warm indeed. For me it happens much faster than in a dry sauna.
No opinion on steam room.
Educative! Thanks for this .
Glad it was helpful!
Michigan's UP has a large Finnish population. Plunging into Lake Superior is always super cold. (Assuming you can get thru the ice in winter) Also its Sow-nah not saw-nah if you are Finnish descent. ❤
Finn here! It's definitely pronounced SA-U-NA. Think of how you say "summer", "Uno" and "number" and use those sounds to form a proper pronunciation. Cheers!
1hr 30min training at the gym 2parts of the body and 20min sauna after that’s my fitness lifestyle past few years !
What about the endocrine response to sauna use? (e.g. enhanced GH and adrenocorticotropic secretion)
My Finnish sea captain grandfather would go to the "Swedish Baths" after coming into port. My mama said he did it frequently because he had very sensitive skin and it helped him a lot. He captained many ships and sailed into many ports; but, San Francisco was home port. One of his ships is anchored there under her original Scottish christening name, Balclutha.
You are very good at knowing the details and depth of the body.💚🌍🧬😊🤗
Thanks!
Does it matter if it's a dry sauna or steam room?
Doesn’t matter. That said, I prefer dry because I am paranoid of water being contaminated in steam rooms. Prolly not filtered etc.
Can yall please drop AG1 already? sketch that you'd keep them on a sponser
Terrific video. There's also a claim that saunas can help remove microplastics from the body. Is there any validity to this?
Kindly say about the effects of usage of caffeine everyday 😊
kapuk tree cotton can grow in tropical area like florida sir its mostly for bed mattress or pillow filling
Cold plunge next please! It's easy to get my ass into the heat but I need motivation for the cold shock!

He already did that 11 months ago.
Cold plunges have been shown to be have a strongly negative impact on muscle hypertrophy, so it's not recommended if you're trying to build muscle.
Can you speak about how sauna affects exercise recovery and injury recovery if at all?
Can you guys do a video on cold exposure? Only seems like a logical follow up
I used to do saunas followed by a cold plunge, is there any benefit from the cold plunge after the sauna? Cold plunge was either leaving the sauna and running into a snow bank or ice bath.
We'd sauna for 10 min do cold plunge and repeat 2-3 times!
From my experience a cold plunge is essential for a good sauna session. I would like to say I know what the science is but all I can say is it makes me feel incredibly well when returning to the sauna after a cold plunge. Euphoric is the word I would use.
Hope you soon achieve 10M milestone
Thank you for another interesting video amd for the balanced approach mentioned at the end
Glad you enjoyed it
Work for what exactly...? It's a place for washing, relaxing, socialising and warming up after a long day. 😅 I know I know I'm a Finn we don't count but it sounds like asking "do sofas really work" or "how useful is a garden, really?"
Anyway enjoy it, no need to overthink the benefits!
That is very informative and well explained. Short but simple
Thank you for one another very helpful video 🫡
I like it for my skin & it helps my head after.
What a great channel, some serious knowledge here I wish doctors had.... ya know, about humans!! So glad to hear to dispell the myth of all these health gurus spouting "it detoxifyyysss the boddyyy"... give me a break lol. Would Love to see you do one on steam rooms, not really a fan of dry saunas. The steam has all those benefits plus the lungs.
Could you link the studies comparing exercising alone vs exercise plus sauna?
It would be interesting to see what the Extremes of heat do to the body. Firefighters are constantly exposed rapidly to heat. I would be interested in seeing the damage their job takes.
Dude please use Celsius also for us international watchers
I am able to spend close to an hour in a 167 degree sauna. I do this regularly. Maybe 2 times per week. I feel great doing it. Can there be any negatives aside from the possibility of dehydrating? I drink plenty of water while in there.
Some gyms have sauna/steam room facilities. Is it advisable for one to use the steam room/sauna before or after exercising, for how long and which one is best between sauna and steam room and what are their purposes in terms of pre- or post-gym and is it like safe for a person with a history of kidney stones?
I've never been able to get an answer about a sauna vs. a hot tub. Don't both accomplish the same thing of elevating body temperature to the point of heat stress?
it's probably something to the heat receptors in the skin, responding to water and not air.
If spend long time in hot tub it feels about same after than being in sauna. But sauna experience is totally different with sudden hot steam coming from stove.
Think the main difference is the temperature you're exposed to, air can be so much hotter than water. Good luck in a hot tob of 80c.
When I lived in NC,we used to go to a sweat lodge. I really enjoyed the experience.
could you make a video on sun exposure and it's pros and cons?
I have a question, any studies done on doing mild calisthenics in the sauna? Say a 15min workout before hitting weights?
I am curious, what is the temperature of the room you are in, since there are always cadavers in the background?
Surprised you didn’t discuss some of the recent studies that found similarities between deliberate heat exposure and altitude training. Also, instead of using sauna there are other forms of heat exposure which are just as - if not more- effective such as overdressing during cardio (eg. Indoor bike with no fan and wear extra layers).
Would you dive into red light therapy? I’ve heard anecdotal stories supporting claims of reducing inflammation or anti-aging effects on skin… but is there any true science to back it up?
I love sauna, try to do it 2 times a week, at least… The feeling afterwards is fantastic 🏞️
Great video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I've had experiences where as I'm exposed to heat over time, at about just over a week I start sweating significantly less. Have you heard of this?
Would there be any benefit in taking L-citrulline before a sauna since it improves blood circulation by dilating blood vessels?
thank you!
you have successfully confirmed my research from 20 years ago, to be correct.
good thing that north america has lots of saunas that are easily accessible, .... NOT
got a thing or two to learn from europe
What happened to the person's shoulder bone at 14:46?
Is sauna also linked to decrease in fertility (in men) because of the heath? It would be very informative to know if there's also a flip side to these cardio-vascular benefits
My brother did a high-school science project on this. With pulsemeters and stuff. They wrote essentially this 📹 video
I was just thinking this yesterday
Another awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is the Jacuzzi with the same benefits? I prefer the Jacuzzi
I’m curious if it’s a replacement for cardio. My heart gets pounding when I start sweating hard in the steam room
I wouldn't say a replacement, but it does have some similar physiological effects to mild to moderate cardio training.👍🏻
If I could afford to have/use a sauna 4 times per week I imagine I would be even healthier. Currently I can't buy a sauna, don't have one nearby, and don't have the spare time to sit around in one for any length of time. More money and less stress leads to longer, healthier life. That checks out!
What about the production of heat shock proteins during heat exposure? I've seen from numerous sources that they have a big positive effect on healing etc.
I first heard of the hypothomus from Osmosis jone
I have also heard that sauna and heat exposure promotes growth hormone production in the body, is this true? Thanks!
BURPEES! Sauna: Steam room; jacuzzi, cold DIIIIIP!
Also you never mentioned how it promotes physiological adaptations to exercise by increasing chaperone production!
It would be great to put metric conversions of the temperatures because we don't use or understand imperial units outside the United States :(
