Episode #288: Connie Zack: Infrared Insights: From Heavy Metal Detox to Cardiovascular Health

Is your body's detoxification system craving the heat of an infrared sauna?

I am joined by Connie Zack the co-founder of Sunlighten to discuss the incredible longevity, detoxification, cardiovascular health, and immune system benefits of infrared saunas.

We explore the difference between traditional sauna and how IR Saunas are truly light and energy therapy coupled with heat, generating deep benefits in the areas of detoxification, recovery and much more.

You will learn about the different wavelengths of infrared and the benefits that each delivers, and surprising information about how hot you really need to get (spoiler alert, not nearly as hot as you think) to get the benefits of infamous heat shock proteins - powerful antiaging compounds that are produced by the body in response to extremes in temperature.

Connie Zack, an entrepreneur, wellness enthusiast, wife, and mother, Connie regularly speaks at events around the world and served on the P&G Women's Board to cultivate a practice of mentoring young women and supporting their professional development. She continues to guide and encourage female entrepreneurs.

In 2002, after seeing how spending time in an infrared sauna supported her brother's healing from traumatic health issues, Connie and her husband, Aaron, left thriving corporate careers and made a commitment to research-backed innovation that enabled them to revolutionize the infrared sauna industry.

Sunlighten now has operations in 13 countries, including the award-winning day spa at the company headquarters in Kansas City. Sunlighten saunas are recommended by the world's top health experts and elite athletes.
