  I used to do a river soak and then...go to an outdoor hot tub and when I would repeat that 4-5 times in 3 hours (motorcycle-the breeze was great too)...I never felt better, a natural high. &nbsp;Just sharing a good memory. &nbsp;That Health Club closed and...missed~

  I am a 75 year old man who was experiencing insomnia for the last couple of years. &nbsp;I tried all of Huberman&apos;s supplements and they seemed to do nothing for me. &nbsp; After watching Rhonda&apos;s videos, I decided to get serious about using my hot tub in the evening before bed. &nbsp; I submerge down to my neck. &nbsp; I was not able to tolerate 104F for 20 minutes, but I can handle 102F for 15 min . . . with a little discomfort. &nbsp; I am convinced that it is helping me sleep deeper and longer. &nbsp; The positive affects did not happen immediately. &nbsp; It took a couple weeks of doing this before it was obvious to me that it was helping my sleep quality. &nbsp; I intend to gradually increase my heat stress and hopefully get to 104F for 20 minutes, we&apos;ll see. &nbsp; A big thank you to Rhonda for bringing this protocol into my life.

  I started using an IR sauna in hopes of the cardiac health benefits, and within 1 week, I suffered a vitreous detachment in one eye. 6 months later, I still see flashing lights in the dark in that eye, meaning the vitreous is still tugging on the retina a bit. It&apos;s probably just a coincidence, but it was enough for me to avoid the IR sauna moving forward. If I did it again, and the vitreous in the other eye detached, I&apos;d keep saying to myself, &quot;Well, why the F did you do that again?&quot;

  Excellent video thank you. &nbsp;I lift in my garage in Arizona and in the summer the garage can be 90-100 degrees even with fans on. &nbsp;I purposely don’t air condition it.<br><br>It’s definitely helped me both in fitness level and in total mass gains and this video helped explained why so thank you. &nbsp;Liked and subscribed.

  Finally! Lack of time and temperature is like blindly cooking steak or salmon in the oven with not heat gauge or timer. <br>She states:<br>174F or 79C for at least 19min. At least twice a week, preferably more often.

  If anyone is in the market for a portable dry heat, sauna the sauna pod by the pod company is amazing starts at around $700 for the early adopters and I 100% recommend it

  Great to know I don’t have to blast myself with 200-220 Fahrenheit (90-100 Celsius for normal people)
