Everything you need to know about Infrared Saunas.

A few weeks ago I posted a picture of our new in-home Infrared Sauna and it led to a ton of questions about the make, model, specs, and why we chose the one we chose…

So I invited Corey Smee & Dan Koven from Health Mates Saunas onto the BHP to help me with some of the details.

We talk about the benefits of Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna use:

And we talk about why this unit & brand is the one in our house. This is not a paid podcast appearance. This is a product (and people) we trust because this unit is/has:

We’ll get into the nitty gritty of all these details on the show – and more.

And you’ll even learn that NASA invented infrared saunas to support the cellular health of astronauts and to help them get the benefits of exercise in low gravity environments. So when you read those studies about how IR saunas are an exercise mimetic (favorable impacts on cholesterol & lipid profile) you won’t be surprised.

While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army Light Infantry, Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down. After dying on the operating table twice, the surgeons saved his life, but told him he’d never walk or use his hands again.

After months of anger and suicidal depression, having no other option, Marcus started doing some brutally honest soul searching, looking for the lesson to be learned from his injury. Once he started seeing his adversity as a gift instead of a curse, something miraculous began to happen.

Today, Marcus is an author, speaker, coach and consultant helping others see the gifts of our struggles.

Andy Mant is the Founder and Director of BLUblox, and he’s on the BHP this week to help us understand and navigate the impact light has on every cell in our body.

I’m aware that blue light and blue blocking glasses can be an overplayed topic.

Trust me, this isn’t your run of the mill blue light podcast and Andy is not your typical entrepreneur trying to make a quick buck on a slow to die fad. Light has profound impacts our lives. In fact, every cell in our bodies is impacted by light. Light drives our hormones and circadian rhythms.

In this fascinating chat, we tap into Andy’s wealth of knowledge to make this topic easy to understand, and more importantly, provide us with powerful and easy to implement solutions so we can restore our natural circadian rhythms and optimize our sleep, health, recovery and performance.

We’ll cover:

A few weeks ago – and unbeknownst to each other – both Ryland and I began taping our mouths at night to encourage nasal breathing and improve sleep quality.

In this episode, we revive the Ry and Ry format to share our mouth taping experiences, including why we’re doing it, the benefits we’ve seen so far – expected and unexpected – and of course, we’ve included tons of actionable tips to help you:
