re: Does anyone do "serious" sauna bathing?

Toxin binders are snake oil. Use of sauna and cold plunge change nothing. It's a mindset. Just do it if you enjoy the experience. Eat well, run, lift and sleep.
Well, I stand by cold plunge. It absolutely impacts the way I feel and it made a difference in my belly fat. Sauna has research, albeit sparse, but at least there's that....
I agree with you, though, mindset is extremely important and a healthy lifestyle overall is most important.

what about infrared?
I agree with the other poster....most of the research is on traditional sauna. I almost got a hybrid but opted for the traditional because of the research and many say when they got hybrid they ended up using the traditional more than IR anyway.
Traditional heats you from the outside in, while infrared penetrates and heats you from the inside out (thus requiring lower temps). Therefore, oddly, I feel like getting in an infrared would be like getting into a microwave. I don't really wanna do that! :lol:

140-50 is fine if that’s all you have access to but my understand the “benefits” happen more at the 180 range.
Research shows >19mim in >170 degrees for 4-5 days per week. This is from Rhonda Kirkpatrick & Andrew Huberman. I suppose I could check out their podcasts to see if they recommend toxin binders or supplements.
I hear you on the water. I usually do 16oz with electrolytes before exercise & then sometimes another 16oz plain water during exercise and before sauna. My sauna sessions are always after exercise.
I gotta say, cold plunges make me feel better but I love sauna and it's use is backed by research.

Thanks guys! So far no one uses supplements, other than electrolytes so I guess it's OK to just skip them.

No toxin binders or multivitamin? I’ve used the sauna before but never with strict regulatory like I’m trying to do now.

What I mean is, do you do sauna nearly every day at temps of 140/150 or above?
If so, what protocols do you follow and do you supplement with anything besides electrolytes? I see alot of information on toxin binders but know nothing about them. Also, supplements such as glutathione may be beneficial...?
Please help with any experiences/advice. :cheers:

I’m interested in trying boxing for cardio purposes. I thought about getting a heavy bag to hang outside to hit around on. Anyone here do boxing for cardio? Any suggestions?
I bought a heavy bag from Academy for the hubby years ago. I think he used it a bit but now I use it. I have a home subscription to Les Mills and do the Combat classes, which consist of mixed martial arts. Its definitely a great workout and hitting a bag versus air boxing makes a huge difference.
re: Help with glucose levels
Posted by Cali 4 LSU on 5/9/25 at 10:37 pm to SlidellCajun
Any blood sugar >30 rise in your level is considered a spike. This is especially bad if it is outside of your range (>120). The more glucose molecules floating in your blood, the more chance of oxidizing fats in your blood. This contributes to atherosclerosis. Diabetes/PreDiabetes is one of the major factors contributing to cardiovascular disease.
Also, how does it make you feel? I felt absolutely terrible when my sugar spiked. Furthermore, it causes insulin spikes and then a subsequent drop in sugar, which usually leaves you hungry and, thus, more snacking.
Tip: after you eat things that generally spike your sugar, go for a 10-15 min walk/bike/movement that is moderate in intensity. You can help control those spikes. Personally, I would try to avoid the spike altogether by avoiding the foods that spike you.
Good luck! :cheers:

I haven't. I think he newer model lets you do a half blend instead of doing the whole thing. That may prevent the freezing. Really ruins the leftovers.
I used to mix only half at a time but things settle at the bottom when it freezes so I mix the whole pint every single time. I don't find that it ruins the batch at all.

I made a yogurt base once. Because yogurt is so tangy, I try to make it as if it is a cheesecake flavored ice cream so:
Yogurt
Half & half
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
fruit of choice
Blend it all and freeze it overnight.
Sometimes I make recipes with coffee, half & half, & either vanilla or chocolate protein powder.
When you blend it in the creami, run it through as many times as it takes to make it creamy (& not crumbly). Usually 2-3 times. If you want it like soft serve, add a splash of water (1 tablespoon), and mix it (usually at least twice).

I have one & make "protein ice cream" quite frequently for the hubby & I.
It is LOUD but so what. Also, it's easy enough to clean but you must be careful to clean it thoroughly or you will get a sour milk smell. I hand wash it and use the dishwasher, whichever is easiest at the time.
The thing I don't get is how y'all use nasty-arse pudding mix!? I use jocko molk (vanilla, chocolate, or banana) with a little vanilla extract/powder and that's it. Sometimes I add a little fruit, peanut butter, or cocoa powder but not much. I also mix & match, for example: chocolate banana.

Curious to see the reaction of everyone from the guy calling her out on the lies.
I watch Anton almost every night. This is from his show Monday night. Anton is all MAGA, was on Dr. Phil and makes tons of $$. He has a show on Monday where he lets anybody on (liberals, democrats, republicans, independents, etc). I found him during the run up to the election and so enjoyed him schooling all these lefties. And no, he didn't fall for the Rittenhouse BS, he looked it up in real time because he wasn't familiar with it so he called Jas out on that falsehood. Here's the full show:

Ohio dem thinks Elon shouldn’t be in there. Agrees with deporting “bad” illegals but not the hard workers (they should get citizenship). Didn’t like the dogs & cats comments T made.
Didn’t like that dems did not stand for kid with brain cancer.
Yall…that’s gonna kill the dems!!!
He voted for Kamala.

R from Michigan (elderly woman) said the dems were embarrassing. She likes that SS won’t be taxed. Likes what T has done….wants to give him time. Says media doesn’t give him fair shot.
Didn’t vote for Slotkin. Some of her points were valid but you can tell she doesn’t care for her.

Black woman from Missouri liked that T addressed increased crime. They (her family) are struggling to make it and she loved that economic prosperity was a focus. She is Indy & says her black friends are looking at what party serves them best. She voted T in 24 but didn’t vote in 20 & was appalled by Trump in 2016.

D from Penn did not like dems not standing for child with brain cancer or guy going to West Point. He thought Slotkin made good points. He wants people to work together.
He said dem leadership in last admin was so poor. He knows lots of dems that voted for T

R from Michigan doesn’t like immigrants being called racist/murderers. Doesn’t like corporate welfare. Doesn’t like polarization and echo chambers. Ok he’s just rambling now.
Oh, Slotkin is his rep.
He voted Slotkin & Kamala…:he is NOT a R but claims he is ??
Doesn’t believe in to the river to the sea being a call for hate
