Saunas aren’t just for escaping cold temperatures. Did you know research suggests that a sauna session could be as good for you as a workout? It’s also what Carolyn credits to lowering her blood pressure and stress—without a prescription. But neither of us had any idea just how pronounced the health benefits could be until Carolyn did a deep dive into the research to prepare for today’s episode. What are those benefits, what’s the best type of sauna to use, and how often should you go? By the end of this episode we promise you’re going to book yourself a sauna appointment.
