656. Estrogen, Toxins & Your Metabolism: How to Clear the Junk
What if one wellness tool could support energy, recovery, detoxification, and healthy aging by working with your body's own biology? Would you use it? In this episode, I'm joined once again by Connie Zack, co-founder of Sunlighten, for a conversation about infrared sauna therapy and the science behind the different wavelengths of infrared light. We break down the differences between near, mid, and far infrared, why each one affects the body differently, and why understanding the "why" behind a therapy can help you use it more intentionally.
What you’ll learn:
Why near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths are not interchangeable
How infrared light interacts with mitochondria and why that matters for energy
The difference between red light therapy and infrared sauna therapy
What is actually happening in the body during infrared-supported detoxification
Why different sauna programs are designed for different health goals
How to fit infrared sauna sessions into a busy schedule, even if you only have a few minutes
What makes infrared sauna sweat different from exercise or traditional sauna sessions
How I incorporated infrared sauna into my own recovery and long-term wellness routine
If you're looking for a better understanding of the science behind infrared therapy and how it may fit into a broader wellness strategy, tune in and don’t miss the special offer at the end!
