YES I retained all the awesomeness you just threw at me AND I LOVE your passion for this field. I share this myself and have been binge watching your videos. So much AMAZING content. You are a true pioneer in the field on a GLOBAL level yet down to earth. You are an absolute GEM.
It has improved my sleep. I went to a sauna for the first time last Saturday and repeated this the next day. I slept well for the entire week. I'm going back tomorrow.
make sure you reshape the body through positive intentions while exercising otherwise you are going to lack the strength to sustain your health ( expanding the fuel tank ).
You made my day Dr Ronda Patrick .There are 3 fundamental things with directly effect my life: a- insulin insensitivity, b- neuropathy which is damaged myelin sheets on the peripheral nerves ,c- declining memory ,probably beginning senility. And loss of muscle muscles . What can I say I love you!
May grandma from Moldova knew AND PRACTICED these, heat and cold, and put kids to do it. Just didn't know to explain it like this. THANKS. I practice this and fasting. Now I'm in 26day of fasting.
I love your videos I’m preparing for a stem cell injections to regenerate my optic nerves as I became blind only one year and a half ago and I promised myself I would do everything in my power to regain my vision. These videos are helping me prepare my body to the pre-and post injections. I’ve been doing the sauna and cold showers alternating for a week and it is insane how my anxiety and stress is going down I’m finally able to sleep better this way effects that I am noticing. Thank you
This video IS full of awesomeness! It explains why I am now addicted to sauna even though I felt like I was being tortured at first! Now I hate to skip a day.
Hey I am shocked at this information. I started doing this over 40 years ago. I would steam up my bathroom to 135-145 degrees F. and {this is the crazy part} shadow box and squats until I could do nothing but breathe. 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. My cardio doctor says I have the cardio vascular system of a 25 year old athlete so I think your finding are on point thank you so much.
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
At my old gym there was a lady who used to go into the Sauna for 3 hours every 2/3 days, fully clothed and with a towel around her (on the lower level mind you, but still...) She was in her 60's and looked like she was in her late 40's. The Sauna, like anything else will give you some incredible benefits, but you have to be consistent with it. Having a healthy diet and lifestyle will go hand in hand with the results you see.
Started 2 years ago. Now I’m using the sauna 3x per week 2-3x 15 minutes sessions @80 Celsius with cold shower/going into snow. I’m a different person nowadays. No more F’s given, very balanced and mentally strong like never before. And the weightlifting for 6 years now, seems to also have improved due to the heat conditioning.
Hmm, my attic during hot summers is at least 15-20 degrees celsius hotter than the air in the sun outside. I will go and sit there during and after my workouts. Thank you
Norepinephrine is a vasoconstrictor, not a vasodialator (3:10). It would do the exact opposite of what you are claiming. It is the most potent treatment available to vasoconstrict patients that are septic in an ICU and provide hemodynamic support. It constrict peripheral blood vessels, shunting blood volume away from muscles and toward vital organs to maintain function.
Thank you Dr. I see and never understood the importance of heat. As a 63 years man still benefit me at my age. I’m also diabetic, my sugar level have been under 120 I’m a keto diet and have lost 9 pounds in the 4 weeks I’ve been on it. I feel my inflammation has subsided also and feeling more energetic. I’m new to your channel. Very informative. Thank you 🙏🏼 Thank you I’m new to your channel.
Thank you Dr. Patrick, Another great video on my Finnish sauna regimen. I am very impressed with your style and excellent research. I've discovered many new things about the sauna that are more beneficial to me at my age then just the tradition of getting very clean. Keep up the great work!
Rhonda, 80 degrees C is 176 F. I am trying to imagine two sessions per day for an hour at that temperature. I have a sauna in my house, in good part inspired by you. I am pretty well heat adapted, routine do 170-180 for 20-30 minutes at night before bed. But twice a day for an hour? Wow.
From what i experienced visiting hot countries, i thought there was something special about hot climates that's good for the body. My sweat somehow does not smell bad when im in a hot country!! I have better sleep and thicker hair/beard.
Love all the info laid out like this, I now instead of having to spend 3x the video length taking notes just take a screenshot and paste into a google doc for later review. Thanks!!
Love it Rhonda. I am a self experimenter and find that as 52 I I am 10 to15 years younger biologically that most of my counterparts. Personalized medicine is a real gift and I am loving the opportunity to expand my capacity for healthy longevity.
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)
I can't speak speak with any authority on this but I'd guess it's much safer the more heat adapted you are. Alternatively, infrared saunas might be safer for these longer sessions.
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!
I read a study that said the increase in IGF1 and HGH quickly returned to baseline after the sauna within an hour. So I dont see how the spike would even be beneficial. I guess she forgot to mention that part..? Also here is another study showing exactly the opposite effect of heat on muscle: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17688192
Hi Rhonda, where can I find the links to the articles you cite on this video? 1. rats immobilized for 7 days had 30% more muscle regrowth if they were heat sressed during reloading, this corresponded to reduced oxidative damage 2. two 1 hr per day caused a 16 fold increase in groth hormone per day (1600% increase) 3. n flies and worms causes a 15% increase in lifespan

Thamk you much, Dear Dra. Rhonda, for sharing all your teachings, in addition to being very smart, you are very beautiful, and my total and sincere appreciation!!
Awesome information! I have so far used a variation of this method, being in a tall stainless steel box in the Sonoran desert sun (only about 115 degrees fahrenheit) for only 2 months so far, and have gotten awesome results! I need to get a better sauna I know. Outstanding video Dr. Patrick! Thank You!
I have a bundle of bliss spill out everytime I see a video of yours. Absolutely love the sauna but I need to start doing double sessions for those 16 fold hormone gains.
Very informative, Rhonda. How does a 'regular dry' sauna operating at 85C compare with a infra-red sauna? Is one more beneficial than the other? Please let me know. Thank you.
hi dr rhonda patrick, i saw your video lectures in the philippines , i think with dr Achacoso and i read about jennifer doudna’s work on gene editing but i love your work more on nutrition and biochemistry. ive been on depression for many years and just found out on webmd that depression and cardiovascular is linked. i like to know your facebook page cus i like to listen more on health and wellness through nutrition and biochemistry because biochemistry is the foundation of nutrition on how food nutrients affects genes and combat cardiovascular disease. hopefully if you could have another conference in the philippines not just in manila but also in cebu. im from cebu, philippines. i love to listen your lectures. thanks for everything!
Questions: 1) Is hyperthermic conditioning possible only through sauna use, or can it be achieved through a hot bath, or overdressing--either on a hot, humid day or overdressing with moderate exercise on a cold day (e.g. with rubber suits that boxers and wrestlers may use)? 2) In males, what are the effects of heat on the testes? Should the scrotum be protected with a cool pack during hyperthermic conditioning, or is heating the testes part of the treatment?
This was awesome. I bought a portable sauna two years ago and connected it to an increase I had in bulk but I wasn't sure if it was just my imagination
This is amazing information packaged in a easily understandable way! Thanks for doing all the research and making it available to us, much appreciated!
Good vid, just wanted to add: You mention exogenous GH increases protein synthesis and all that good stuff, however you relate that to the GH increase effect with heat acclimation which is a non physiological boost in GH. Theres a difference between your body producing more GH and exogenous supplemented GH. Studies have repeatedly shown the effect of ones body producing more GH (non-physiological) has very little effect on hypertrophy in general.
Thanks for the valuable information Dr. Rhonda. I have always been a big believer of the amazing benefits of sauna exposure and I have a very good heat tolerance. However, I have noticed recently that my hands are getting swelled up during sauna exposure and I feel tingling in my hands which has been concerning. I would like to know if this is a common situation and how safe is to keep the sauna exposure. Also, it would it be great to know about the relationship between hyperthermia and electrolytes depletion or dehydration. Thank you SO much!
I came on here thinking that she was going to be talking about the benefits of ice cold baths and showers. Am I sooooo glad that it is the opposite. I love the sauna!!!
I love you! Maybe a little hyperbolic, but I really do appreciate your reporting! I know this is an older video but i started listening to you about a year ago, then I dug up this one which I have archived with your other ones on the use of Sauna's to improve health.
I was just wondering if anyone knows if infrared saunas do the same thing or have the same benefit? I know wet sauna’s or dry sauna‘s are really good for you just curious? Thank you in advance
In other videos she says that infrared saunas are not quite as good as the Finnish sauna, and you have to use it for longer to obtain the same benefits.
Dr. Patrick, You were mentioning studies done with 80 degree C (176 F) hyperthermic conditioning... My question is is there a significant decrease in effectiveness if you use a sauna that only goes up to 70 degrees C (158 F) ? What about 75 degrees C (165 F)? The reason I ask is because some of the infrared saunas available on the market only go to these lower temperatures.
Hi Rhonda, thanks for the vids! With the 30-minute and 1-hour sauna sessions, is it okay to be taking a bottle of water in with you to take sips every now and then? Or is going without fluid part of the process? Cheers, Mick Holmes
My spirit animal... 🐼 Absolutely love you and your work!! God I wish my Dad would listen to me. If I could get him just to intermittent fast and use the sauna he'd reverse so much sickness.

What I am sure you have heard a million times...."Brilliant"
Please create affirmation video on benefits of Sauna to magnify benefits
REALLY interesting video, many thanks to FMF and Dr Rhonda.
Does it matter if you use a infrared sauna or a steam sauna?
Dry heat is best, the others are on a par.
I just started daily sauna use at 105C for 45 to 60 min. My depression and insomnia are being lifted
I love you! Maybe a little hyperbolic, but I really do appreciate your reporting! I know this is an older video but i started listening to you about a year ago, then I dug up this one which I have archived with your other ones on the use of Sauna's to improve health.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick, thank you! Is there the same effects for people with Multiple Sclerosis?
I was just wondering if anyone knows if infrared saunas do the same thing or have the same benefit? I know wet sauna’s or dry sauna‘s are really good for you just curious? Thank you in advance
In other videos she says that infrared saunas are not quite as good as the Finnish sauna, and you have to use it for longer to obtain the same benefits.
@@nkt1 Thank you for your response that’s what I have heard a dry sauna or wet is much healthier for you thank you
@@ricka0917 Probably healthier, and much less EMF, if that bothers you, but dearer to run and harder to accommodate in smaller homes.
Dr. Patrick,
You were mentioning studies done with 80 degree C (176 F) hyperthermic conditioning...
My question is is there a significant decrease in effectiveness if you use a sauna that only goes up to 70 degrees C (158 F) ? What about 75 degrees C (165 F)?
The reason I ask is because some of the infrared saunas available on the market only go to these lower temperatures.
Hi Rhonda, thanks for the vids! With the 30-minute and 1-hour sauna sessions, is it okay to be taking a bottle of water in with you to take sips every now and then? Or is going without fluid part of the process? Cheers, Mick Holmes
Thank you so much for doing these!
My spirit animal... 🐼 Absolutely love you and your work!! God I wish my Dad would listen to me. If I could get him just to intermittent fast and use the sauna he'd reverse so much sickness.
So is Bikram Yoga good to do? How often would you recommend for an endurance athlete?
It’s really good.
awesome but how do I do it? how many times a week? when after a workout?
Any research on CV inflammation effects of Sauna? Removal of Atherosclerotic plaque?
your great video willl make me lift harder to produce heat stress, hope to correct my stomach vargus nerve thank you. Jim
