I describe the mechanisms by which deliberate heat exposure impacts body temperature, metabolism, heart health, hormone production, exercise recovery, cognition, mood, and longevity. I detail specific protocols for deliberate heat exposure, including exposure times, temperature ranges to consider, time of day, and delivery mechanisms (sauna vs. hot bath vs. open air heat, etc.) in order…
This episode I discuss how hormones from our gut, liver, pancreas and brain control our appetite– and the specific tools we can use to adjust those hormones in order to achieve specific goals.
