Rhonda Patrick on the Crazy Brain Benefits of Saunas

Ғылым және технология

Sure, the sauna FEELS good, but don't forget about the brain benefits: observational trials have shown reductions in Alzheimer's & dementia risk, and emerging research suggests that a sauna protocol may even have anti-depressive effects that last up to 6 weeks from a single session!
In this video, expect to learn:
• How heat shock proteins seem to reduce Alzheimer's disease risk - at least based on observational evidence.
• How long heat shock proteins are elevated after a sauna session
• How the sauna boosted Rhonda's stress tolerance in grad school
• How the sauna boosts mood via increased sensitivity to endorphins
• How a single sauna session could created anti-depressive effects that last up to 6 weeks in a small pilot trail
• How a sauna habit may reduce chronic inflammation

And then, you go and make me smile by showing that you are not just a fantastic brain, you are a human with emotions too. I just loved the little joy in your eyes when you described the carry on effect of endorphin with "You're gonna feel 'em better". You are priceless.

    This is a study I should be following closely. I can relate weeks worth of anecdotal experiences from working 12 hour days, every day on furnace teardowns and rebuilds and maintenance in glass factories. Glass flows like smooth lava at 2,800°F. Factories build glass furnaces in pairs (atleast) so you can rebuild one furnace and the spare furnace will still have glass flowing and production never stops. Working near a heat source such as this for weeks during a teardown and rebuild took some real assessment of my physical capabilities to come home safely every day. But, the exhaustion, and recovery from exhaustion multiple times daily had a extraordinary effect on me. For instance, working that close to heat requires that you wear another layer of protective clothing to insulate your self from combustion. 20 minutes or so is about all that is expected of you to stay near the heat. When you step away from the work to cool down, 95°F and a breeze gives you goosebumps! We were in the heat for 20 minutes and cooling off for about the same amount of time. I felt great most of the time. But, you really had to focus on eat, work, sleep and that was about it for 6 to 9 weeks. Great job actually. So good that I did often as I could for years, but as usual, I digress. I know that I stayed healthy during most of those rebuilds. Sigh. SAUNA!!! You may have rescued me! I'll be checking in,, off and on. Thank you for this presentation! Enjoy

    I am a hybrid (all natural) MMA fighter / Triathlete that trains in sauna after workouts. Shadow boxing in the sauna for 15 - 45min does wonders for recovery (for me atleast) been doing it for years and is highly noticeable when it's not done post workout. Healthy as an ox, testosterone is Mos Def not an issue, lol. I do train 7 days a week hitting every end of the spectrum. Aerobic, anaerobic, HIIT, progressive overload etc etc. Sauna helps greatly with my personal regime. Ran 22 miles 2 days ago (1x60sec RR break) and without the sauna would not have been able to cycle 101 miles the next day/yesterday comfortably. I can't speak for everyone but it helps greatly for me mentally and physically. Also constantly monitor all possible metrics and have yet to see anything that would suggest negatives aside from dehydration. Which is manageable of course. Great video and information! Thanks for your time and effort!!

    I have used saunas as someone who works a desk job, doesn’t regularly exercise, moderate to poor diet, and is my favorite place to go to after a brutal hangover. I do a minimum of 20-30 min and crank the heat as high as I can, then jump onto a cold pool for 5 minutes, then do a shorter steam room session. I walk out feeling wonderful. Idk the science, but this is the only thing in my experience that has had a dramatic positive effect on how I feel physically & mentally. It’s instantly noticeable

I'm working out and eating right for more energy and the sauna is like an energy dump for me.

    Baths work just as well as saunas. I do sauna, steam room, and hot baths all the time and out of the 3, I find a bath of 46 degrees C gets me the hottest fastest. I also find it the easiest and less painful, although 46 degrees will definitely feel like it's burning you if you aren't used to it. It's also the most convenient since I can do it from home. In Japanese onsen the normal baths are 38-40 degrees C and hotter ones I've seen are 45. Even 40 degrees is hot enough it just takes a bit longer.

    By golly,,would she ever talk about how the global elites have us baking in radio waves turned at a standard 440 hz, which is totally adverse to our brain, body and molecular heatlh, causes our energy field to absorb more negativity and causes our brains to shut down and operate on a fear based level.The original tunning of the gregorian chants, the famous strrativarius viloin, and pipe organs was tunned to 432 hz. 432 hz is the same resonance as the earth, sunlight, plants and all things in nature vibrate at. This is why when we get into nature, sit in the sun, are around plants or partake in earthing, that our cotisol is greatly reduced and well being is greatly enhanced. Our bodies have a predominantly negatively charged ions, and all the EMFs emit a positive magnetic charge, which reduces our negatively charged ions around and in our bodies are greatly reduced. When we earth, socks and shoes to bare ground, or stand under a water fall or shower, we feel so much better because the positively charged ions are replaced by the negatively charged electrons. EMFs are terrible for preventing our bodies to transport, assimilating and absorbing positively charged substances because our body has to be charged electronically at a negative frequency. The Rockefellers found that during the rise of the Nazi Reich that German scientists discovered that byunning the standardized radio frequencies to 440 hz, this made the populous more easy to control because their bodies and brains were being tunned to shut brain activity down,, cause them to be more impressionable, and to accept repeated suggestions from the propoganda and hate speech being distributed over the radio networks. This technique is what the media uses today, repetition, because all the networks repeat similar to identical messaging, which causes people to be more easily influenced. As for the 5 G, which is equivalent to standing in from of your modern day microwave, is also causing harmful molecular effects to the body. Look up the ancient secret of the Golden Ratio and how Pharohs would highly tune their bodies to the 1.618 hz and 432 hz frequency, which caused them to be so at peace, at ease, with a deep sense of calm, or in harmony with the vibration of the universe, or God frequency. Only the Pharoh would be allowed to go into the inner chamber of the pyramid, which was a place that heightened and amplified the harmonic pitch and frequency of the golden ratio, earth harmonic frequency. This is why they attracted so much power, wealth and influence, which the world's elites knew this and still do this. This is why we are being baked, programmed and frequency turned out of harmony with 432 and 1.618 hz frequency, because by doing so, they know they will change and alter our brain, body and energy fields, to make us subservient drones, while they keep all the world's wealth to themselves. We, my friend, are a part of a larger plot to keep the vertical monetary and pyramid system, in tact and in place, and it all has to do with the puppet masters hiding in their islands while they can reverberate at powerful golden ration and earth harmonic frequencies, while we are out here, being bombarded by 440 hz, amplified by 5 G networks.

    I did a search on the literatures. You may get BDNF in the sauna, but... Peter Attia disclosed that his total T is 381 in the podcast with Derek from "More Plates and More Dates". I'm wondering if his low T is related to frequent sauna uses. Here's a summary of the potential effects of saunas on testicles and sperm health: Decreased sperm count: Research suggests that frequent sauna use (multiple times per week) can lead to a decrease in sperm count. Reduced sperm motility: The heat from saunas can also impair the movement (motility) of sperm, making it harder for them to reach and fertilize an egg. Altered sperm morphology: Sperm may not develop the normal, healthy shape needed for fertilization after regular sauna exposure. What do all these mean? Your balls are shutting down and crying for help! Your balls are located outside your body, because your body temperature 98.6 degree is too hot for your balls. Have you thought about what 175 degree sauna would do to your balls?

    Apart of heat Peter Attia also takes PCSK9 inhibitors to lower LDL levels, lower cholesterol is know to have lowering affect on testosterone. Despite that I think that low testosterone is sign of slowed aging. BTW eunuchs on average live 14.6 years longer than non-castrated males! Its a trade off you cannot have everything...
