Ben Greenfield Fitness: Diet, Fat Loss And Performance

This blog post is written by Ben Greenfield and Narrated by Brock Armstrong. I will be the first to admit that I spent most of my life not really understanding the difference between a “regular” sauna and an infrared sauna. While I’ve certainly covered wet saunas vs. dry saunas on a heat acclimation webinar for USA Triathlon, and I’ve thoroughly discussed the myriad of benefits from heat exposure (from dry saunas to steam rooms to those dorky sauna suits) in a very popular interview with Dr. Rhonda Patrick... ...until the recent show "Shattering The Myths Of Detox Therapy, Infrared Saunas, Health Scams & More" I’d never really delved into the concept of infrared saunas on the podcast either. But now that I’m spending at least two and, based on the results of this Finnish longevity study, as many as five days per week in an infrared sauna, I figured it was high time I filled you in on what I’m doing with infrared, why, and three ways to biohack your sauna for more heat, more sweat, and bigger benefits. --
