Infrared sauna vs traditional sauna is one of the biggest debates in the sauna industry, but are they really delivering the same benefits? In this episode we explore the science behind infrared sauna therapy, how infrared differs from traditional sauna, and the research surrounding sleep, stress, recovery, detoxification, cardiovascular health and contrast therapy with Joie Risk, Managing Director of Sunlighten EMEA. We discuss near, mid and far infrared wavelengths, red light therapy integration, nervous system regulation, heavy metal detoxification, blood pressure, EMFs, sauna blankets, common buying mistakes, and why so many athletes, CEOs and health-conscious individuals are turning to infrared sauna as part of their daily routine. Whether you're considering your first sauna or trying to understand the difference between infrared and traditional heat therapy, this episode is packed with practical insights and evidence-based discussion.

After being diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme IDH1 wild type, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer, and given just three months to live, Dave Bolton is still here 11 years later. He represents just 0.000015732% of the global population. Dave underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy but this conversation is about what he did beyond treatment. From mindset, hydration and nutrition to exercise and supplementation, Dave shares the changes he made after his diagnosis and why he believes there was never one single “magic bullet” behind his journey.
Struggling to fall asleep, waking during the night or feeling like you never properly rested? PEMF therapy is increasingly being studied for sleep and insomnia, with human trials looking at everything from sleep quality and night time waking to brainwave activity, anxiety and nervous-system regulation
Biohacking can quickly become a full-time job: supplements, wearables, blood tests, cold exposure, red light, PEMF and the constant pressure to optimise everything. Dr Mark Atkinson explains why better health often starts with doing less, getting the fundamentals right and learning how to identify what actually works for you, rather than copying somebody else’s routine.
Hydrogen water and hydrogen inhalation are everywhere, but a lot of what people are told about molecular hydrogen is misunderstood. Tyler LeBaron, founder of the Molecular Hydrogen Institute, breaks down what molecular hydrogen actually is, why hydrogen water is completely different from alkaline water, how hydrogen interacts with the mitochondria and redox system, and why it isn’t simply another antioxidant.
Blood flow is one of the most important parts of healing, recovery and overall health, but can PEMF therapy actually influence circulation? This episode breaks down how pulsed electromagnetic field therapy may affect blood vessels, nitric oxide, vasodilation, microcirculation, tissue oxygenation and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients around the body.
