For 2 months now, I’ve been using the sauna at the gym I workout at and wow what a difference, I feel incredible after working out and then using the sauna Definitely will keep using it!
One of the best things happened to me in recent times is coming across this channel i have lost 32kgs in 4 months and i am still going on this journey, sometimes you doubt yourself and some decisions like fasting and being on keto , this made very easy for me to follow and understand with all the researches thomas discusses in the videos. And not only that this channel helped me to see what to put in my body like all the clean ingredients diet and this journey is great
I started sauna about 5 months ago and I don't see myself ever stopping. Cool that you are talking about it. Made a big difference for me as an older guy.
Very cool - or hot - that you even cover benefits regarding sauna! Huge fan of your channel here in Finland. My traditional wood sauna is ready in approx. 40 minutes or so and I'll have a couple twenty or so minute sessions with cold shower & chilling outside in 10 deg. Celcius in between. Two nights ago we had bright aurora borealis display above as well so mental benefits couldn't really get any better :) Keep up the inspiring work!
I would have thought a critical reason would have been the detox effects - heavy metals, glyphosate, bpa etc. Still, I agree with the main thrust ...I sauna 4 to 5 times a week. Two 30 min sessions at around 90C. About the best thing I can imagine doing. At 68 the passive aspect is important to me, as it preserves my joints from impact and overuse (i still do some exercise routines - but I can get extra bang for my buck by using sauna as well as swimming and static exercises like plank, dead hang etc)
I am in dialysis for the last year, I struggled with fluid accumulation between dialysis sessions especially the 3 day period without dialysis over a weekend even with fluid intake restrictions I found dialysis extremely torturous trying to extract over 3 litres of fluid in a 4 hour session. No help from the nephrologists and would not provide me with any help of diuretics, the blood thinners used in dialysis also made it more difficult as it restricted me passing water. So I started experimenting with very hot baths trying to get to a maximum of 46 degrees Celsius and the results were unimaginable up to 3.2 litres of fluid loss in approx. one and a half hour, this put me in a much better situation of not restricting my fluid intake and also arriving at dialysis after a weekend and not requiring any fluid extraction but filtration only mostly for creatinine and urea. And as you mentioned here, yes it appears that I am retaining more muscle but also less protein loss as well. The higher heart rate I also experience as well as the drop in blood pressure, keeping in mind that my blood pressure systolic is sky high. I am turning 68 years old next week but I can tell you that the extremely hot baths have been godsend, I base the 46 degrees temperature to the equivalent of what the Roman baths were. My electrolyte balance is a bit of a challenge.
My wife and I wanted to get the facts on sauna. First stop....Thomas DeLauer! We're going to incorporate it into our regular fitness regimen. Thank you.
Sauna is a wonderful health tool. The electrolytes you a peddling are overpriced and potentially dangerous for some people to take that much sodium. No good. I recommend Dr Berg’s electrolyte mix, it has more magnesium and potassium, no maltodextrin or any of that other bad stuff
I went to an infrared sauna for a month, twice a week and it definitely helped my insomnia at the time. I don’t like regular saunas because I am heat intolerant, but I can handle the infrared. I may join Hotworx because that is infrared. Wish I had the space/money for one in my house! Also have a red light/infrared wrap that I love and wondering if the blankets are worth buying.
I am not trying to gaslight or dismiss your sensitivity to Heat. I felt the same initially. After a while, starting with a paltry 4 or 5 minutes, years / decades later - I am a dedicated Hardcore Sauna Dude. We sort of started a holistic Sauna Club in Mid Michigan., for a while.
@@icysurfer1 I have been able to increase my heat intolerance moving to SC - it was sort of a necessity LOL. Plus since doing a ton of research on my migraines including genetic testing and adding in b2 and magnesium, that was definitely a factor but general exposure can raise it a bit. But still saunas and hot tubs are a short duration for me.
Great sauna info. Had one for years and how I enjoy it. Sleep VERY well on sauna nights. Ut must be sonewhat addictive, as after 8 years, the only times it doesnt get regular use is July and August as its like a sauna all day!
@@ambrsanford3703 🤔Oh. My water heater is set at 130° but I don't run it 100% on hot so maybe it's less than I thought. Now I'm curious about the actual temp.
There's no way you're getting in 125° water. Get yourself a Lazer thermometer which will give you an accurate reading. 108° is about the hottest I can stand.
A health club/gym with a sauna is an absolute MUST have for me. I like your comment especially the part where you felt it was necessary to put Europe in parenthesis for the country of Austria. Even Americans know where Austria is because the greatest actor of all time is from there.
The temperature. Most infrared saunas max out at 140, traditional sauna up to 195+. The higher the temp the lower the amount of exposure needed per treatment.
I workout in infrared saunas and hit the sauna at my gym after workouts 1-2 times a week. I’m definitely not in Thomas shape hahaha but I try to be balanced. I love saunas and if I could afford a home I would definitely get one of those sewed Redwood saunas.
Thomas, how do you feel about all these cheap little "sauna tents" being sold lately? They only seem to reach 120-130F which is far below the desired 190F, but they say ehhh just stay in for longer! I've always thought "low and slow" is great when it comes to cooking, but I have doubts about its effectiveness compared to a real sauna. However it's a cheap and practical option. Thomas, is there any science on sauna benefits at say 125F but for longer durations?
Hi Thomas I am 60 (almost 61) and have been using the sauna post workout for 40 years because I LOVE the way I feel afterwards. To your knowledge is there any ADDED benefits doing body weight exercises (tricep dips,squats,pushups etc.) while in the sauna?? I usually am in sauna for 40-60 minutes 4 times a week. Thank you for all your knowledge 😊
Thanks. 80 and 100 C are very hot! Boiling point at 100 C. I have a backyard jacuzzi, but it only heats to 104 F. However during the summer, it gets hotter, sometimes too hot for me at about 108 F.
Thanks Once Again. I know it works, because I feel like Superman.. I was gonna take a day off, but it is hard to. There is a VERY hottttt sauna at the health club 8mins away. I am guessing 190+ F.
I’d like to know if somebody with an Aortic Valve replacement can go back to doing Sauna again? I had a 5mm hole in my Aortic Valve a couple of years ago and required Open Heart Surgery to replace the valve with a Bovine valve. I miss the sauna so much.
Found myself drinking a bottle of prime hydration while in a suana. 😂😂 it has the goodies the body wants, or just use 1 or 2 tablets of hydration and goodies. Dependant upon the type of hydro tablets used. Then ifni do another turn in the suana just use water well should say distilled water.
i don’t know why libido is so taboo. it’s important to know. when my libido is low (due to certain medications) it has an effect on my entire personality. i don’t feel myself and have low motivation and energy. thanks for sharing
My only access to the sauna effect would be hot showers. What time of day is best? Early/first thing? Or evening, near bed time? What about when I want to take cold showers, can you do both the same day, or even the same time, switching from hot to cold? Or is it better to do cold in the morning, hot in the evening, or not do them both on the same day?
Suppose my entire goal is just to use the HGH for hypertrophy. When is the ideal time for me to hit the sauna? Immediately post workout? During my recovery days?
I used to love the sauna. Then I got Rosacea (not from sauna, just got unlucky I guess). So now I cant do sauna without looking like a tomato for 24 hours. I wish I could use the sauna without the flushing. I miss it.
Im trying to find the sauna blanket Thomas talked about probably about 2 months ago in a video. I cant find the video, as I watch pretty much all his videos. I remember brand he suggests. Anyone know?
Surely, almost 100% of the people I live around would agree. But, the Sauna Guys at the Health Club don;t. Taking the time is an investment in health. Conversely, one decreases ones' minutes on Earth by not using a sauna.
Soaking your nuts in a hot tub regularly may reduce your chance to get your wife pregnant. My adult son loved and routinely soaked in a hot bath annd couldn't get his wife pregnant...until he stopped with the hot soaking baths. I now have three grandkids finally! 😊
3 reasons I'm not even going to watch this video. 1) I'm an average guy that's not going to have to money to buy a sauna for my home or property. 2) I don't live in a part of the country where saunas are at gyms or even remotely common for a fee. 3) That gives me the impression you are detached from the average man.
For 2 months now, I’ve been using the sauna at the gym I workout at and wow what a difference, I feel incredible after working out and then using the sauna
Definitely will keep using it!

My wife and I wanted to get the facts on sauna. First stop....Thomas DeLauer! We're going to incorporate it into our regular fitness regimen. Thank you.
My sauna, at least in the summer here in SW Florida, is to take an hour walk every afternoon.
We took out a closet in our bedroom to put in a Radiant health sauna. I use it 6-7 days a week for 30 min
Sauna is a wonderful health tool. The electrolytes you a peddling are overpriced and potentially dangerous for some people to take that much sodium. No good. I recommend Dr Berg’s electrolyte mix, it has more magnesium and potassium, no maltodextrin or any of that other bad stuff
is jacuzzi same effect for body blood health

I agree. I take a hot (125°) bath 1-2 times per week for 1 hour. I always feel better just like Thomas said. Now I know why!
°125 water will burn you.

How are your balls due to that heat ? Heat kills sperm

Greetings from Austria (Europe) fun fact: most of the Gyms here have Saunas and usually it is included in the fee!

@@dexterwestin3747 let's say greatest Action-Star, greatest Actor I am not so sure ;-)
Any good reputable sauna you recommend?
Is there a difference of infared sauna benefits vs. dry heat - steam sauna ?
The temperature. Most infrared saunas max out at 140, traditional sauna up to 195+. The higher the temp the lower the amount of exposure needed per treatment.
Sauna blanket!? I didnt know that existed! Cool!
I workout in infrared saunas and hit the sauna at my gym after workouts 1-2 times a week. I’m definitely not in Thomas shape hahaha but I try to be balanced. I love saunas and if I could afford a home I would definitely get one of those sewed Redwood saunas.
please do video on men over 65 yrs and maybe focus on keeping preserving muscle
Thomas, how do you feel about all these cheap little "sauna tents" being sold lately? They only seem to reach 120-130F which is far below the desired 190F, but they say ehhh just stay in for longer!

Thomas, is there any science on sauna benefits at say 125F but for longer durations?
As long as you stay in there until sweating a lot.
I have one, gets to 140F definitely does the job . (20 minute sessions)

Is this safe for an older person around 70 that has had heart troubles?
God Bless YOU
Can you recommend a sauna blanket? I’m shopping for one and I’m not sure which one is the best. Thank you!
Thanks. 80 and 100 C are very hot! Boiling point at 100 C.
I have a backyard jacuzzi, but it only heats to 104 F. However during the summer, it gets hotter, sometimes too hot for me at about 108 F.
Standard for a Wood Fired or Electric Stove is 165F to 200F. Most of Us expect 175F. +/-
How do you rate a traditional sauna to an Infrared sauna. 🤨
I don’t need a sauna. I live in Miami, Fl. Living here is a city of a sauna. Literally. 😂😂😂
* *shudder* *
That's very true & exactly why I left Florida.
That’s a steam room there 😂
@@jennyjohnson5428 that is why to move there .
Suana is dry heat. Not sure why Thomas said a steam bath. Similar effect .. also ice baths are also helpful. Soo.
@@SimplyHuman186 oh ya, heat stroke & 2nd degree burns when you pop into the car & the metal of the seat belt touches your arm, & skin cancer 💋🤌
Thanks Once Again. I know it works, because I feel like Superman.. I was gonna take a day off, but it is hard to. There is a VERY hottttt sauna at the health club 8mins away. I am guessing 190+ F.
I have a backyard wood fired bathtub.
What temperatures and times are good?
It’s so easy, to lay in the comfort zone.
I live in the Greater Houston Area. A 30 minute walk with a heat index of 106° equates to a sauna workout, right? 🥵😉😅
That's what I was thinking - am I getting sauna benefits by walking (and sweating) when it's 105 outside lol.
Going at least 3 times a week for the rest of time - steam room for now but still has same function as sauna.
Should I sauna before or after working out? They have one at my gym. Thanks.
I’d like to know if somebody with an Aortic Valve replacement can go back to doing Sauna again? I had a 5mm hole in my Aortic Valve a couple of years ago and required Open Heart Surgery to replace the valve with a Bovine valve. I miss the sauna so much.

What about steam rooms?
Thank you for the video!
I live in Austin and stopped doing saunas during the summer because it was too much heat 🥵🥵🥵
Do you end with cold?
How would you incorporate with cold plunging?
what if I'm running outside in hot weather drenched in sweat, does that have the same effect?
you should come to finland :D
i don’t know why libido is so taboo. it’s important to know. when my libido is low (due to certain medications) it has an effect on my entire personality. i don’t feel myself and have low motivation and energy. thanks for sharing
I don't have a sauna, but Georgia in August is pretty close
Does it matter if wet or dry sauna?

Shower won't do it, sadly. Get a cheaper sauna blanket
Or a portable sauna .
What about the BonCharge infrared sauna blanket?
Suppose my entire goal is just to use the HGH for hypertrophy. When is the ideal time for me to hit the sauna?
Immediately post workout? During my recovery days?
I love the sauna content
I used to love the sauna. Then I got Rosacea (not from sauna, just got unlucky I guess). So now I cant do sauna without looking like a tomato for 24 hours. I wish I could use the sauna without the flushing. I miss it.
I can do over an hour ice bath up to the neck but I can't stand 5 minutes in the sauna. Since I was a kid I hated when it was too warm
Could you give us a tour of your sauna?
I have had heat stroke before, and I do not think that would do me any good at all, except maybe send me to the hospital. Any thoughts on that?
Yes you should absolutely do it. Just stay hydrated and be careful.
Does steam room have same benefits?
It does..works on the same principle
Infrared or regular Finnish sauna? Probably the latter
Infrared preferred as can breathe much easier. Harder to pour the vodka over the rocks though 😁
Also live in Florida just north of Orlando! I think I'll pass on that sauna but thanks.... 🤣😂
Do you have links to the studies mentioned?
Im trying to find the sauna blanket Thomas talked about probably about 2 months ago in a video. I cant find the video, as I watch pretty much all his videos. I remember brand he suggests. Anyone know?
But why do i get sick after a saune session?
What is the temp of the saunas in the studies?
ANYONE PURCHASE
A COSTCO
3 PERSON SAUNA???
SHARE REVIEWS ~
What brand and or type sauna u recommend??
I can't afford a sauna, but I also can't afford an air conditioner in Shasta county. Does that count? 😅
No list guy?
So you're gonna buy everyone a sauna
Right?
Hahaha, I wish.
I'd bet that 90%+ of the population doesn't have time to do a '30 minute' sauna session if polled
Surely, almost 100% of the people I live around would agree. But, the Sauna Guys at the Health Club don;t. Taking the time is an investment in health. Conversely, one decreases ones' minutes on Earth by not using a sauna.
Sauna …
I will never live without a sauna because I have sauna in my apartment #Finland
FINALLY, a benefit to living in Phoenix in the summer! Just go sit in your car -- BOOM, free sauna! 🔥😅
LOL Ronnie Coleman 🤣
I like ice bath and turtles
Any tips when it comes to sauna and dry eyes ? It kills my eyes to be in a sauna
I sit on a towel, as well as cover my head with a towel, to provide privacy. It also provides Moisture a-plenty.
What if you are man trying for children? Sauna is not recommended due to the negative fertility impacts of sauna?
I’ll send you my Venmo.
I’ll start planning now, and hit the ground running once I receive the funds.
I love sitting in the sauna. It's relaxing for me lol...
Thomas - always good stuff - thank you...but..my wife wants to know...why are you wearing a hat in the sauna??
Does a green house counts as a sauna?
Sure feels like one on hot days. haha Measure the heat. Upwards of 130 or so probably helps. haha Memories of NorCal.
If you live in FL you don’t need a sauna lmao
I think I need sauna treatment because I can feel pressure in my brain it really feels F, Ed up.
First!
The main benefit of the sauna is getting rid of toxic metals.
I live in qatar.... the country is a sauna country
Bro I've never even seen a sauna in person.
Soaking your nuts in a hot tub regularly may reduce your chance to get your wife pregnant. My adult son loved and routinely soaked in a hot bath annd couldn't get his wife pregnant...until he stopped with the hot soaking baths. I now have three grandkids finally! 😊
just do a sauna instead of a hot water tub
❤
John cena
could you just take a hot shower for 15-30 minutes instead? would that have the same effect?
❤️💖❤️🙏💖❤️💖
Living where I am now is a sauna
You good? Bags under your eyes
3 reasons I'm not even going to watch this video. 1) I'm an average guy that's not going to have to money to buy a sauna for my home or property. 2) I don't live in a part of the country where saunas are at gyms or even remotely common for a fee. 3) That gives me the impression you are detached from the average man.
Does the sauna lower a1c?
I’m sure this Thomas guy is healthy and all. Honestly he is starting to look a little deficient in something!!!!! Also his voice is getting raspier.
Awww. Be nice.. He's helping Us... I think Tom is doing well enough compared to most Americans. hahaha....
I just beat my body up sometimes. That’s all
