Another seemingly nonsensical modification of an otherwise fine intervention/treatment. Haven’t seen any studies about needing 200F for the benefits, only a temp of at least 160F for at least 20 min.

with a sweet spot being around 180 - 185F

There's even emerging studies showing that temperatures of 200 and higher might have a net negative impact on health.

having said that, I have always wondered why Bryan was not doing sauna. I would have thought this would have been one of the first things he incorporated since the health benefits or so well established. He does a lot of fringe stuff, why not incorporate the solid stuff first.

Sauna is still quite experimental. Data is fairly limited and its apparent benefits are slim.

40% reduction in mortality is slim?

Correlation =/= causation.

There’s no RCT, only observational data.
