    The more I learn about being healthy, the more important it is that I become a multimillionaire and retire ASAP. Need to do cardio in the morning, sauna and ice baths throughout the day, lift at night, 5-6 small meals daily, daily meditation and prayer, and a minimum of 8 hours of sleep at night (and upwards of 10-11 is ideal) for mental health and to maximize muscle protein synthesis.

    Thing is, everybody can try to optimalize as much as possible; bottom line is that 10 minutes of sauna 2-5 times a week is still great, and everything above/below is also really good. Find your own balance. It could be working out 2-3 days a week with sauna/cold exposure after. Everything is better than nothing - remember that!

I usually shower a little hot, then I go as cold as possible for 1-3 minutes, then hit the sauna. You'll be able to sit for much longer periods if you do that, accompanied by breathing and maybe even a sauna-hat to keep the head cooled down.

    I just came back from a cruise--Carnival Mardi Gras. I have been cruising for years, and never once used the thermal suites. This time I did. I am so sorry that i did not do it before. They had the biggest thermal suite i have seen on a cruise. Two steam saunas (0ne called the aroma room, it was still steam just less) , the salt room and the dry sauna.The plan i used was rotation 15 min on each. One of the steam rooms was really challenging. I did on about three rotation a total of almost 4 hours. They also had a nice pool and warm stone chairs, i also spent some time on this section before starting a rotation. When i got off the cruise, my skin felt like baby skin. I sleep well. If i ate too much at night with all the salt in the food , the next day it would be taken care off by the saunas. Really cool! now i am looking for a portable steam sauna for my home use

    You may or may not have time to look at my reply- but I do appreciate your info in your video albeit a year too late. I'm a former endurance athlete who never used the sauna or cold plunge (per se) but I did cold water endurance swimming. At 59 I've let myself get heavier than I've ever been in my life. I've started doing the sauna for 20-23 mins 3X per week and cold plunging 3X right after sauna for 2 mins. My sauna is wood-fed and I am achieving temps between 160 and 175F and using water over lava rocks for steam. My heart rate fluctuates between 135 to 140 in the sauna and will drop to as low as 54 bpm while in the cold tub. My work has me leaving my home at 5:30AM so I've never considered doing the cold plunge in the morning. I've always done my saunas and cold plunges after work in the evening. I am having trouble sleeping but I generally feel great afterwards. Should I modify what I'm doing or just take the anything is better than nothing approach? I'm currently doing no workouts in conjunction with any of this. Thanks and Happy New Year!

    Whoa, this is kinda freakin' me out right now! So I was chattin' with this health ai thinga called August about cold exposure, cause I heard it's good for metabolism and wanted to know if it was like, real. And man, August went all out on how this whole thing works, how brown fat is activated, benefits and everything! Even mentioned that diving reflex stuff and the whole "it's not about specific temperature, but how cold it feels." I mean, exactly what's in this video! Isn't it insane? I feel like ai is everywhere these days, kinda scary but wicked cool at the same time!
    Big thanks to Chris and Prof Huberman for this video. You guys are changing lives with this stuff! Thank you! 🙌

      What I do know from years of sauna usage is that being hydrated before, during, and after is important so you you don’t get dehydrated.

      I agree completely assuming by sick you mean possible heat stroke/nausea/passing out. I’ve been in the sauna regularly for well over a decade. I just got out of the sauna and came back to this video just to see the comments. This is a very irresponsible protocol to propose. I outlast 99 percent of the people I see in the sauna and I’ve tried to hit 30 min back to back and have still yet to do it. I can get 30 and maybe 18 on a good day. I don’t think there’s many people in the world that can safely do 4 rds of 30 at 210. Someone is going to try this and have a heat stroke. I love Andrews content but this is too much and shouldn’t be attempted by anyone that is not very experienced with sauna. And to the guy on here that said he does an hour without a break, I’d be very skeptical unless it was at 175 or lower.

    higher sauna temperatures take time to get used to. One may be able to handle higher temperatures but one must ask what one wants out of sauna experience. For me I need to unwind from hard work. Stretching in sauna between 140-160 is perfect to defy gravity and get what amounts to a free deep tissue message. Then once the body kinks are worked out I can crank up temperature and end with loylo. Saunaing does not need to be a pissing contest to see who can handle the hottest temperature. It is about tuning up the mind and body in more ways than are describable.

    in Estonia and other places where they actually have real saunas hot and cold is just a normal life thing. you go in to the sauna heat it up and throw water to get it so hot that you have to take micro breaths or you will literally burn your lungs. you just keep on throwing water and then enduring the heat until you reach a round where you throw on water and your body can no longer take the heat and then you run out and jump in a lake or pond. during winter people will either do snow angles or cut a hole in the lake and jump in. i have ben doing hot and cold sins like 2years old. obviously not staying in the sauna for that long before going out but i always stayed as long as i could and then out in the snow or in the pond with my uncle.

    In Scandinavia we throw a ton of water mixed with birch extract on to the rocks during the session and then swing a bundle of birch branches in the air to move the steam around, which makes the sauna very hot (I always say "If it's not slightly uncomfortable then it's not done right"). When doing so, it is only possible to stay within for 15 to max 20min. So I suppose that the 30min rules that Huberman recommends is in a sauna on a steady temperature?
    Besides this I am curious on the difference of effectiveness between traditional sauna versus the steam bath?
