The benefits of sauna | Andrew Huberman and Lex Fridman

Semper fi

Lol low key he seems insecure talking about saunas. Just let urself get whacked with leaves don’t overthink it.

Pronounce it correctly ffs

Get "The Pressure Cooker" started immediately 😂

I’ve been considering buying a sauna for my home for a long time. I’m glad I didn’t purchase an infrared sauna after listening to this podcast.

Question:
What exact type of sauna is recommended?

Help! I can only afford one of those pop ip sauna tents. They reach only around 50 degrees celcicius.
Is there anything I can do to increase that?
Could I wear a sweat suite suite?

I have a pet mouse. Will Mr. Butter Beans get the same positive effects from sauna as humans do???

I do 15-20 mins 4x a week is that good for the body also

My eyes always get blood shot and feel dry after my sauna

Did my first sauna today and I loved it. It’s such a great feeling

I get in the sauna twice a week for about 15-20 mins and then get back into the swimming pool after a warm shower to cool off. It is a pleasure not an ordeal! Why does everything good for you have to be unpleasant!!

I'm German and go to sauna since 35 years. Since 3 years I go iceswimming. In Germany its prohibited to wear clothing in the sauna

Just americans Go in Sauna with clothes 🤡🤡

Is it useless below 80 C?

I really dont know why they never ever talk about the wim hof method of cold exposure.

So, if i understand that: you must go to the sauna till you feel dizzy,must spitting and get headaches and then you leave WITHOUT a cold shower and after 10 mins you go back till you feel very very bad again….😅 i can be in a 90 degrees celcius sauna (194Fahrenheit) for about 20-30 mins maximum for 2 times.
But i pause for 20mins and go for a cold shower after.
Sometimes i get headaches from this.
I never met someone who can make more(even if there probably a lot of ppl)
I cant imagine how they did this in this studies.
I hope they get payd very well for this (or they found some really really poor ppl for this)

Hi, im from Finland the land of saunas you could say 😄. In here saunas are everywhere, apartments, houses, cottages you name it. The thing is, 100 degree celsius saunas are really really hot, if you are not adapted for heat exposure you should stick to a 80 celsius in the sauna max at the start. You can throw water on the rocks and increase the temperature that way for your own liking if that is not enough.

In Finland everybody does saunas very often, even when we are going out drinking etc, that usually involves a sauna session (healthy drinking i suppose). And i can say, i have never been to a 100+ celsius sauna, 80-90 is the most common here and it is plenty enough with a good bucket of water to throw.

Im not questioning the benefits from 100 celsius saunas, just trying to lay information to someone who is starting to use saunas that i would atleast advice to start very mildly. Anyways, great video and solid information!

I am literally in the sauna 5 times a week after my workout....always passing on Humbermans knowledge when chatting to people lol....Greetings from London

I hardly believe huberman

Kings

And is that 30 mins at once or can they be in like 3 different sessions?

What about steam room?

I remember him saying 20 mins rather than 30 mins

Don’t forget to ice your nuts if you’re a male. Heat will negatively effect testicular health and as a result testosterone.

Car works as a great free sauna in summer 👍

In the sauna now 👍

Not 30 minutes they say 15-20 minutes.

Did he ever explain the third way to use the sauna. I heard the hgh 2 hour protocol and then 30 mins multiple days a week to reduce likelihood of cardio death.

People who do Sauna do other stuff as well with regard to experiment.

2 hours saune exposure with 3 breaks.

The first example is not applicable to usual use.

How do you know if you’ve done damage/over did it in the sauna, bc I defo push through wanting to get out and I feel defo exhausted and hot but I don’t feel like sick sick, a little dizzy and feel dehydrated but I rehydrate so. I guess I’m just trying to say is how do you know you’ve done damage and if you have done damage can you fix it?

Where I live, its more convenient for a steam room than a sauna. 50°C of steam for 10 mins feels difficult already. How doees 30 mins of sauna in 80-100°C compare?

Best $2000 sauna?

I love listening to the two of them together. I hope they do a sauna and cold plunge podcast!

Who the heck has a 176-212 degree Sauna!?

When is this joint sauna cold plunge gonna happen? We cant wait

I get in move about, breathe strong breaths, even do war cries just to get me through that cold shock.

Immagine all the people that do sauna, cold exposure, training, yoga, meditation…. And then in the end, they can’t love the people they have around.

wow

Can't afford a gym with a sauna, close the windows in your car in a sunny day 😎.

Cool but what about the balls

when's the Sauna & Cold Plunge podcast coming??

Ok im confused. If you do jujitsu often and want to recover you should not do saunas often?

Is it safe to go for a cold swim almost immediately after doing a 15-30 minutes sauna?

IF what your saying is true, that the sauna ultimately increases endorphins then it’s no wonder Finland is the happiest country in the world.

Great content. Please fix your lighting in the studio.

My two fav podcasters <3

30 minutes is quite long.
