Fall saunas...
... where every new low is a new high
Are temperatures reaching new seasonal lows where you are too? Isn’t that a high!? I pondered this concept between rounds and wrote this short article of positive thinking here.
Doctors who sauna
I find it fascinating to learn about the health benefits of sauna through the lens of Doctors. Do you know a Doctor who Saunas? Please hit “reply” to this newsletter and connect me. I am ecstatic about expanding the series by bringing in more Doctors who Sauna to the series. Episode three features: Dr. Hans Hägglund, Dr. Nancy Weigle, and Dr. Arne Vainio.

Sauna Talk: Ashley Mason
Over a dozen people contact me directly after listening to my interview with Ashley. She is a power house in the field of “whole-body hyperthermia” which journalists with a word count issue shorten it to “sauna.” I am hugely interested in her work surrounding the raising of core body temperature and its ability to help with anxiety and depression. I am pleased to bring you our conversation here.
I am off to Larsmont Cottages this morning for a Sauna Days 2025 planning meeting. I will be jumping into Lake Superior between rounds, and will be thinking of you all with gratitude, as kindred spirits of thermal goodness. (the cool down as “aaaahh” as the heat up!). Talk with you again soon!
