Vital Vibes Ep. 8 : Saunas & Cold Myths We Believed Until We Built Our Own

You might not know this about sauna use. Hotter isn't better, colder isn't better, and you may not need a sauna at all. The heat and cold advice going viral leaves out the parts that decide whether any of it actually works. Dr. Kelley and Ian spent a summer building their own sauna, then months actually living with it. In episode 8, they get honest about the adjustment period nobody warns you about (yes, someone deep-cleaned the refrigerator at 3 AM), why the loudest advice online may be working against you, and why the study everyone quotes leaves half the population with more questions than answers. You'll hear what you can do with a bathtub and a thermometer, why the same routine can't deliver every result, and the one post-workout habit that could quietly undo your effort. They also share why this topic is personal for them. Whether you own a sauna, want one, or live in an apartment with a shower and a dream, this conversation will change how you think about heat and cold.
