Sauna Big Wins: Body Detox & Depression Relief – Connie Zack : 993

Sauna Big Wins: Body Detox & Depression Relief – Connie Zack : 993

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… You’ll learn about the ways using a sauna can charge your energy, help you heal physical and mental health conditions—and science that backs that up.

Sunlighten sponsored this episode.

Connie Zack joins the show to talk about the far-reaching benefits of sauna use and what’s new in the field of infrared light. For more than 22 years, Connie and her husband, Aaron, have introduced infrared light therapy to 13 countries through Sunlighten. They’re leading innovations in infrared light therapy and infrared sauna manufacturing.

This conversation covers a range of good things you’ll experience from using a sauna:

  • how infrared light affects the body and triggers a biochemical cascade of benefits;
  • how near infrared penetrates the body to interact with mitochondria;
  • why the real magic of infrared combines both light and heat;
  • what evidence connects infrared and detoxification—and why sweating wins;
  • why you sleep better—without feeling exhausted—when you do a sauna session before bed;
  • how infrared shows promising relief for those who experience depression; and
  • practical ways to incorporate sauna into your own stack for better sleep and higher performance.


Big takeaways for you:

  • Sauna for Detox: Results from a blood-urine-sweat study support infrared for detoxification, and it’s more than just thermoregulation as traditional medicine often argues.
  • Sauna for Depression: Chronic inflammation is associated with depression and may be a protective, inflammatory response involving thermoregulatory pathways, the immune system, serotonin system, heat shock proteins and more. Studies show that raising core body temperature can improve major symptoms of depression.


Connie’s been on the show before, so check out Saunas Use Infrared to Power Detox, Immunity & Renewal – #823 to find out how infrared sauna helps you with immunity and recovery.

Bonus: Client Review with Jonathan Kos

Jonathan Kos is an IT professional and a recent follower of the Bulletproof Diet.  He is a 44 year old IT professional . At 6' 3" and a former college athlete that played football, competitive ice hockey up until the age of 25 he was an extremely fit 220 lbs and my coaches wanted me up to 275 or so to play the defensive line so I was eating literally non stop to put weight on. After college he dropped down to around 200 lbs and eventually settled at for me was a healthy 235.  As he got older and more settled in his job, his weight climbed and he couldn’t keep his weight in check with exercise alone and he started to have to diet he was up to 300 lbs and was exercising more that ever but the weight didn’t come off. After he met his wife, exercise was out the window, a carb heavy diet was in, and his weight ballooned up to 365lbs. He was about to give up until he heard Tait Fletcher on Joe Rogan's podcast mentioning Bulletproof ® Coffee and he gave it a shot. He lost 45lbs in 45 days, and is here to share his experience with you.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

#44: Salt and self-experimentation with Greg Pomerantz

#44: Salt and self-experimentation with Greg Pomerantz

For Greg Pomerantz everything is a science experiment. He takes citizen science to a personal level by biohacking his blood pressure and detailing his data. He blogged about his self-experiment research on salt clarifying some concerns he had about salt’s effect on the body. He determined what his salt type is, either one is salt sensitive, or one that isn’t affected much by increases in salt. He discusses how to do that in today’s podcast.

#42: Alderspring's Glenn Elzinga, Grass-Fed Beef and a Bulletproof Protein

With training in forestry and forest ecology, Glenn Elzinga began his forestry career in Maine. In the mid 1980s, he moved to Salmon, Idaho where he worked as District Forester for the Salmon BLM for over a decade. As his family began to grow, he realized he wanted a better way to raise kids than leaving them for work all day. So began his current career in ranching. After ranching for 17 years, Glenn's cattle herd has grown from 7 head to over 600. He keeps his hand in forestry by working with his wife, Caryl, on consulting projects and by horse-logging occasionally with his two Belgian mares, Pet and Pat. He hopes to train his new draft Suffolk geldings, Red and Snap, to log as well.

#39: Hormone Alchemy (+ Why Hard Data is HOT)... How to Amplify the Positive Neuro-hormonal Dashboard with Dr. Sara Gottfried MD

#39: Hormone Alchemy (+ Why Hard Data is HOT)... How to Amplify the Positive Neuro-hormonal Dashboard with Dr. Sara Gottfried MD

Dr. Sara Gottfried is a Harvard doc, biohacker, and yoga-powered champion of your health, happiness and hormonal equilibrium. She’s also seen 20,000 patients in the past 20 years and applied her training as a MIT bioengineer to how women and men can leverage the upstream and downstream mediators to create natural hormone balance with next gen medicine, and wrote a book about it, called The Hormone Cure: Reclaim Balance, Sleep, Sex Drive, and Vitality Naturally with The Gottfried Protocol (Simon & Schuster, 3/12/13) She biohacked her own happy hormones and happy brain chemicals as a 30-something stress case battling McMedicine, PMS, and low sex drive. She was offered Prozac and a birth control pill for her misery by her primary care physician, and that was a defining moment that allowed her to step from her darkest hour into the grace of biohacking bliss. The main culprit: CORTISOL. It took her 4 weeks to get her crazy-high cortisol down to the Goldilocks position of not too high and not too low, and she applied that learning and refined her protocol on her next 10,000 patients over the next 10 years. Results were staggering: Dr. Sara could neutralize cortisol, what she calls the “bad-boyfriend” hormone in 1 minute. She reversed insulin resistance in 48 hours. She got estrogen back into it’s rightful place, and thyroid, inside of 2 weeks. She believes knowledge is power, science is sexy... and, oh yes, actionable needle-moving solutions are hot. Listen in for our dialogue about cutting-edge science, and crazy-lovin’ solutions -- for men and women.
