You’ve cleaned up your diet, ditched the seed oils, and started reading labels—but you still wake up feeling puffy, tired, and inflamed. What gives? In this solo episode, Jen Smiley breaks down one of the most overlooked tools for detox and inflammation: infrared saunas. She explains how they work (spoiler: it's not like the steam room at the gym), why they’re a game-changer for your lymphatic system, and how to get started without breaking the bank. Plus, Jen shares her personal routine and the brand she trusts in her own home.

Key Takeaways:

• Infrared saunas reduce inflammation by penetrating deeper than traditional heat or steam
• You sweat out toxins—not just water (think: plastics, heavy metals, and more)
• Infrared light boosts mitochondrial function for more natural energy
• Puffiness and bloating could be signs your lymphatic system needs support
• You don’t need to spend $10K—start with local sessions or a sauna blanket
• Jen’s go-to sauna brand? Sunlighten, with a discount code linked below
• Hydrate, rinse, repeat: how to make the most of your sweat session
