Hey everybody welcome the show this is dear Noline this is the show I'm stoked again

taking a bunch of your questions and I'm gonna unpack sonna bathing and the ultimate

guide to sonas.

Obviously it's in the lexicon of the world right now,

largely coming from the Finnish people,

but almost in every culture we're using some sort of heat and

sauna I spent about I don't know five or six years doing in IPES sweat lodges in Colorado with a group of incredible Native

Americans that change my life and I'm so connected to that and so every time I go into a sonna or a

Finnish sona or a sonna or a sonna that is a dry sonna all right it always

reminds me of those an hippies, of those things. So I really love sonas in that way, but I also love the infrared sonas.

So we'll talk a little bit about that.

Most of the studies, however, are in the dry sonas,

which are the Finnish, original finish style sonas.

But, you know, this is a tradition that's used a lot throughout

many cultures and the growing evidence. Now the caveat is many of the studies are done in men.

So obviously women have different hormonal shifts and changes and I just want to

acknowledge that that different stressors and different times in their

cycle can have different outcomes of stress responses, the health benefits, etc. So use that as a kind of entry point into this

information because we lack studies specifically on women and I just want to acknowledge that there's physiological

hormonal changes and differences in men and women. So that said I'm going to unpack

the cardiovascular, the longevity, the psychological, the physiological, the

detoxification aspects of this.
