Sweat Benefits
Did you know your sweat is one of the body’s most undervalued systems?
- Thermoregulation: Sweat keeps your core temperature stable, protecting your brain and muscles under stress.
- Detoxification: While not the main detox pathway (that’s your liver/kidneys), sweat carries trace heavy metals and waste products.
- Skin barrier function: Sweat contains antimicrobial peptides (like dermcidin) that defend your skin.
- Cardiovascular fitness: Sweating regularly in workouts or sauna improves endothelial function and VO₂ max.

Sauna Benefits
What if sitting in the heat was one of the most powerful longevity tools we have?
- Cardiovascular health: Studies show frequent sauna use lowers risk of cardiovascular disease by up to 50%.
- Heat shock proteins: Triggered in heat, they repair damaged proteins, reduce inflammation, and build resilience.
- Recovery & mood: Saunas increase blood flow to muscles, release endorphins, and support mental reset.
- Longevity: Regular sauna use is linked to reduced all-cause mortality in large Finnish studies.
