Has anybody been living a long-term sauna lifestyle? Seen any health or mental benefits?
I've found myself traveling lately to hotels with saunas (or with attached gyms that have saunas). After seeing this Joe Rogan video below about huge reductions in mortality, I've made a serious effort to hit those saunas every day I can...I feel like my calm and focus are better on days when I do the sauna and it seems to be good for my skin. On work travel I can't always get a full hour workout in, but I can carve 15 minutes out to sit in the sauna and head off the stress of the day. Bonus, it makes cold showers more fun/bearable.
I also made some good friends in my hotel sauna in Helsinki a while back, it's a huge cultural thing over there and I still talk to some of those guys online today.
