Most people think the goal of a sauna is to sweat buckets, but the real benefit comes when you use it intentionally to support your nervous system and detox pathways. Here are sauna tips you probably don’t know: 1. Do a quick dry brush or self-massage before to boost lymph and circulation 2. Infrared works best at 120–150°F (finish at 180–190°F) 3. 25–50 minutes in an infrared sauna (10–20 minutes for high-heat) is plenty 4. Focus on parasympathetic “rest and digest” mode instead of treating it like a workout 5. Always rinse or towel off after to remove toxins released through your skin And here’s what actually happens in your body by the minute: • 5–10 min: Sweating out toxins • 12 min: Increased heart rate • 15 min: Increased white blood cells • 20 min: Growth hormone increases 5x • 20–30 min: Heat shock protein response • 30 min: Reduced blood sugar • 60 min: Growth hormone increases 16x (but also risks of dehydration, mineral loss, and heat shock so be careful!!!) Your sauna time should feel restorative, not draining. Think nervous system reset, not punishment! Set is @setactive Studio is @pausebuckhead
