What time.....

Most people think of a sauna as a place to relax.

But inside that intense heat, the body is actually activating a powerful survival response.

When your core temperature rises in a sauna, the brain interprets the heat as a form of controlled stress, triggering the hypothalamus to signal the pituitary gland to release human growth hormone (HGH).

This response is known as hormesis, where small doses of stress stimulate the body to adapt, repair, and become more resilient.

The heat also activates heat shock proteins (HSPs), specialized molecules that help protect and repair damaged cells during stress.

Run Fact: Some studies have observed that intense sauna sessions can temporarily increase HGH levels several-fold compared to baseline levels.

These increases are natural and short-lived, but they reflect the body’s remarkable ability to respond to controlled stress with repair and recovery mechanisms.

Sometimes what feels like discomfort is actually the body switching on its strongest repair systems.
