I used my sauna blanket to sweat out the chemotherapy infusions. I drank 4 quarts of water daily to increase my sweat. My blanket got to 176°F. I used a liner to capture the sweat and protect the inside of the blanket from the hazardous chemicals. 🥵 😊

I've been doing the sauna and cold showers every day for 25 minutes for about a month, and my skin and body feel proper glowing and fresh. Honestly, it just totally chills me out my mood's been dead relaxed😊❤

2 years in the heat. 🔥 Finally hitting my peak sauna game: 2 days a week, 3 rounds of 15 mins, and walking out 3-4kg lighter in water weight. There’s nothing like that deep detox.

Got an infrared sauna. Has helped a lot with my eczema, as well as pretty much everything else.

I already saw it in the comments but it's worth repeating. Do a 30 minute episode on the benefits of the steam room.

Traditional sauna vs infrared sauna. My temp is 135 infrared and I get plenty of sweating in each of 30+ minutes 3-4x week.

Maybe you can do a video on the nuisances for women for sauna at certain time in their cycle. Explaining to women that there is times it isn’t as advantageous to sauna within their cycle.
