Matthew and the guys have been working non-stop to complete the build of Theta’s custom Finnish-style sauna and we are ready to begin pre-selling the sessions. Sauna use is now being coined as a lifestyle practice to extend lifespan. In this paper written by Rhonda Patrick and Theresa Johnson, the highlighted benefits of the sauna are as follows:
Sauna use mimics physiological and protective responses induced during exercise.
Repeated sauna use optimizes stress responses via hormesis and heat shock proteins.
Sauna use appears to reduce morbidity and mortality in a dose-dependent manner.
Frequent sauna use may protect against cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease.
Sauna use provides a means of preserving muscle mass and countering sarcopenia.
This sauna is designed to reach upwards of 215 F degrees and will be the perfect complement to our cold plunge this spring. The stones in the sauna are one of the most important parts of any Finnish sauna and the Finns take great pride in choosing them. These stones are from Finland, so they have traveled a long way to bless our clients with health and well-being. Plus, our staff have each chosen a stone to bless before placing it on the pile. We have meditated, prayed and infused our wonderful energy to the practice of sauna bathing at Theta.
Matthew and Caleb, who helped him custom build the sauna for our space, tried it out last night for the first time. Even though we are patiently awaiting the arrival of our custom glass door, we ordered a 100% wool blanket from Eighth Generation and absolutely love it; thank you for the quality work, inspired natives! They did two rounds of 20 minutes at 185 degrees, with a six minute cool down in between. Neither of them completed the second round, it’s intense and they aren’t acclimated yet. This combination has been show to significantly boost human growth hormone, which aids in sleep - and it definitely did its job last night; Matthew slept like a baby, waking up feeling refreshed!
Increasing human growth hormone also has many other benefits. HGH helps to maintain, build, and repair healthy tissue in the brain and other organs. This hormone can help to speed up healing after an injury and repair muscle tissue after exercise. This helps to build muscle mass, boost metabolism, and burn fat. HGH is also said to benefit the quality and appearance of the skin.
We will be offering a discounted rate on the sauna while we wait for the door to be finished and sent to us. Stay tuned for the details in our text club and newsletter. We are delighted to share our sanctuary with you and provide a space for restoration, healing and recovery for your body, mind and soul, thus creating habits and practices to ensure a long and healthy life.
