How Sitting in a Sauna 4X a Week Can Make You Live 40% Longer

from Live Beyond the Norms · host Chris Burres

What if sitting in a sauna for just 20 minutes, 4 times per week, could reduce your risk of dying from all causes by nearly 40%? According to peer-reviewed research on over 2,000 people, that's exactly what this ancient ritual can do. Sauna expert Brian Richards reveals why this practice is so powerful for healing the body at the deepest level.As Brian explains, the key lies in raising your core temperature by 3 degrees, sweating out a pound of water, and reaching a state of mild exhaustion. This triggers a cascade of healing effects, such as producing heat shock proteins that optimize cell function and releasing toxins through sweat.But not all saunas are created equal. Brian shares why the incandescent bulbs used in his "electric light bath" provide a major upgrade to the benefits of heat by delivering therapeutic near-infrared light. This little-known spectrum of sunlight penetrates deep into tissues, stimulating repair and regeneration from the inside out.If you're looking for a science-backed way to live longer, beat chronic illness, and achieve a state of blissful relaxation, you won't want to miss Brian's insider tips on building the ideal sauna habit. "The human body is the most beautifully engineered tool that we have in our universe. It works really well if it's given the basic modicum of what it needs. And one of the things that it needs is the maintenance, the cleaning out, and it's something that we forget." - Brian RichardsGuest BioBrian Richards is the founder of SaunaSpace, a company dedicated to bringing the healing power of sauna therapy into the modern world. After using sauna to overcome his own health challenges, Brian became passionate about optimizing the practice for 21st-century needs.Resources:Discover the groundbreaking ESS60 molecule, proven to extend life by 90%, at MyVitalC.com.Connect with Brian Richards- Website - https://sauna.space/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/saunaspace/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/saunaspace/ - Twitter - https://twitter.com/saunaspace - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/saunaspace Connect with Christopher Burres- Website - https://www.myvitalc.com/- Website - https://myvitalc.com/livebeyondthenorms/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisburres/- TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@myvitalc - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisburres/
