Summary

Brian Richards, founder of SaunaSpace, found himself sick and struggling with insomnia, adult acne, and adrenal fatigue.

After months of research and working with an alternative medicine doctor, he discovered that near infrared saunas could offer him a non-medicated solution.

Within days of using a near infrared sauna, he noticed an immediate change in his symptoms and he saw such positive benefits that he continued with his sauna practice for the past 13 years — it’s been that life-changing for him.

Over the course of that time, Brian dove into the research and he comes on the podcast to share everything he’s learned along the way with listeners and Dr. Anthony Gustin.

When you tune in, you’ll discover the ancestral connection, why we need exposure to heat now more than ever, and the benefits that come with this practice.

On top of those topics, Brian shares practical use cases and whether you should use a wet or dry sauna, how long you should stay in a sauna, should you do it before or after a workout, how many times per week you could use a sauna, and more.

So not only will you learn about the benefits of using saunas, you’ll also find a practical guide for how to do just that to reap the biggest health perks when you check out the episode.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s in store:

  • Brian’s journey and how he went from working in rental real estate and on fixer uppers to creating SaunaSpace, a zero EMF near infrared sauna
  • Why Brian chose to use incandescent light instead of heat in his saunas
  • The three things to achieve with each sauna session
  • Dynorphins, including what they are and how they can be beneficial
  • What the research shows when combining sauna and exercise
  • Should you do a workout, then do a sauna session, then expose yourself to cold temperatures?
  • The protocol Brian recommends when it comes to hot and cold therapy
  • How a sauna session can help before bed
  • 5G frequency bands and why this matters

Hello and welcome to the Natural State podcast. I am your host Dr. Anthony Guston. It is

0:10.2

my belief that the natural state of penny living organisms' health and that our artificial

0:14.5

habitat has forced us into having artificial health problems. This show is my attempt to

0:18.7

dive deep and learn about using nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships and more to help

0:23.8

you reclaim your natural state of health in a modern world and show you how to thrive

0:27.8

in an environment that's stacked against you. If you enjoyed today's show, you can find

0:31.3

out more details and information at Dr. Anthony Guston.com. Thank you for tuning in to the

0:37.7

Natural State podcast. This week I have Brian Richerson, who is the founder of Sonna Space.

0:43.4

And Brian is one of these guys who has just gone down the rabbit hole of all things.

0:47.8

And the topic that he is fascinating in, so I think another guy that I've had them podcasts

0:52.2

before it reminds me of him, his Andy Mann, to start a blue blocks because he was just

0:56.9

as light-free. I think that Brian is a very similar guy with heat. And so we talk a lot

1:02.8

about in the beginning around ancestral exposures to heat. And is this really necessary from

1:09.9

a indigenous perspective? Do we always use this? And then I think the meat and potatoes of

1:15.2

the episode gets into how you should actually Sonna and what type of Sonna. So it's going

1:20.4

to kind of complicated. There's hot dry Sonna's, there are wet Sonna's, infrared, near infrared,

1:26.2

light Sonna's, etc. So we break that all down and then talk about practical use scenarios.

1:32.4

So how long are you in the Sonna for? How much do you sweat? Is it before or after a workout?

1:37.5

What time of day? How often? How many times a week? These are the things that I think

1:40.6

people are missing a little bit on. So hopefully this can be a practical way that you can

1:44.8

actually hear a regular Sonna goer that you can learn something from this episode as I did

1:50.9

and implement it in your team. So tune in and I hope you guys enjoy. Before we get into the
