Leverage Infrared Sauna For Foundational Health

Connie Zack

Oh, I’m so happy to be here. Thank you so much.

Ann Shippy, MD

It’s so great that we get to have this conversation because it really is one of the foundational things that people can do to get better. Then these practices keep them healthy once they’re better.

Connie Zack

It’s so true.

Ann Shippy, MD

Yeah. I was thinking the first time I actually heard about an infrared sauna just versus other types of saunas was probably 15 years ago at an environmental health conference with Dr. Rea. It really got my attention because they were talking about how to help firefighters. Exposed to chemicals, massive amount of kind of chemicals and gotten very old. How helpful infrared sauna is to helping people heal from environmental illness. They’re putting their lives on the line, and and then really having compromised health a lot of times from doing that. It got me really interested in this topic. I would love it if you just start out with what is infrared and how is it different than the other types of saunas?

Connie Zack

Yeah, I remember that whole. Dr. Rea. Yeah, I remember all that anyway. Infrared is art of that. There’s that while there’s the spectrum of light that’s called infrared, that’s part of the sun that comes from the sun. There are four different, well, three really different wavelengths as divided into which I’ll talk about in a second. But what’s important to know is that it is safe and natural and necessary for all living things. This is not some kind of like made up wave thing that’s manipulated. I mean, it really is. You need infrared to survive. What we’ve just done over the past 20, almost 25 years, “Oh, my God, I do not feel old enough that we done it very well.” My is mine. I say when I say that, I’m like, how do all of I’ve been doing this for this long? It’s crazy. I feel like I’m still excited about just the opportunities to help people and to heal because a lot of people I mean, I think it’s kind of you said most people will know, but now a lot of people don’t know. I mean they don’t know. They don’t understand. They don’t look at this as a foundational piece. As a way to just kind of start over and to help get your body back to basics. They look at it as will someday but someday. Anyway, so just today, yeah. I’m getting philosophical. 

The way infrared works is it enters the body and depending on which wavelength is absorbed or penetrates into the body and it impacts the body from the inside out. Additional here that people are so used to and everybody knows about a traditional sauna is 180 degrees or steam that you have resorts or gems that is heating the air. The air is hot and you’re hot as a byproduct of that air being hot. What makes infrared special is a couple of things of that experience. One is it’s enjoyable to be in there, so it’s not you don’t lose your breath like, “Oh, my God, I’m so hot.” When you go in because the wavelength is a cooler wavelength and it gets absorbed into your body. When the absorption happens, you feel this transformation into the cells, which is where the magic happens. You typically and enjoy the experience longer, which provide other benefits as well because you’re,not thinking, “Oh my gosh, I’m so hot, I’m so hot and so hot.” I know, you can enjoy it. That leads to what we can talk about later. That leads to the ability to have it stack, which is going to provide lots of other benefits as well. That’s a high level answer to what is infrared?. How is it different than traditional? If we want to dig into the different parts of the spectrum, we can do that. We can kind of break down the different benefits, all of that.

Ann Shippy, MD

I would love to.

Connie Zack

Okay. Okay.

Ann Shippy, MD

That really is one of the discerning factors of the infrared versus just getting in the sauna is the benefits of the different wavelengths.

Connie Zack

That’s something that when we started a very long time ago, all we really knew about was the far infrared. Far infrared wavelengths. I’ll start there because that I mean, I know about all of them, but I knew that I had the most extensive experience with and that wavelength is the coolest of the three. That is absorbed into the body. It works with your water molecules to transform them and move them around and it increases your core temperature. The increase of core temperature in your body is where the magic happens is just because you’re doing that while you’re sitting there. There’s some which is also great benefits. It’s passive.. It’s copying what exercise does for your body but you’re sitting there so you’re increasing your core temperature. Some of the benefits of doing that are connected to increasing your circulation, increase your blood flow. There’s so many cardiovascular studies and benefits that come from that far infrared.

Ann Shippy, MD

Years ago, 12 years ago. You could find some research on this, but you really had to search. Oh, my gosh!

Connie Zack

It’s all over the place is. Yeah.

Ann Shippy, MD

There’s so much.

Connie Zack

Like Weyand therapy, like Dr. Kohn and he’s done a lot of speaking about Weyand which it stands for soothing warmth, therapy. Just using 15 minutes of an infrared sauna will help to increase your quality of life. I mean, it helps to decrease your blood pressure, increase your blood flow, increase your circulation for women, specifically the increase in oxygenation. Increasing the ability to think clearer and just having more oxygen into the body. I mean, it’s just it’s a great way to give yourself more energy and give yourself more mental clarity. That’s all in the far infrared category. I could keep talking about it. Then I’ll move on to men.

Ann Shippy, MD

We all have some time for the others.

Connie Zack

Just I didn’t saw that. So, mid infrared has a shorter wavelength. It’s a hotter experience so it doesn’t go as deep. It’s really great for muscles and muscle recovery and decreasing inflammation. We did a study with Auburn University on increasing agility and flexibility, helping with muscle recovery. A lot of athletes really appreciate the combination of far and mid together because it’s going to help put them back on the field or on the bike or wherever they’re doing or in the pool faster. When you use far and mid in the air, really the three of them together with muscle recovery and decreasing inflammation. Then moving to the next wavelength which is near-infrared. Near infrared, there’s two types that we’ll talk about. One is an invisible light, which is the longest wavelength, and that goes penetrates the deepest into the skin. That’s really great for anti-aging, for helping to repair the skin. Even if you have like a wound or a scar or a bruise, like anything that is related to the skin that’s caused trauma to the skin near infrared is amazing.

It’s great for inflammation and the body and it’s great for fine lines and wrinkles and increase in collagen production. It’s also great there’s some great studies on near-infrared for brain stimulation, helping with them increasing memory. There’s also this great size, this depression. I mean, there’s just so many studies now we could like I could talk forever and then red light. A lot of people are more familiar with red light than the invisible light. But what they may not know is when you combine red and near together, you get a synergistic effect similar to when you combine men and FA together, you get an exponentially synergistic effect. If you want kind of the highest of the high, like you can’t really get more of the infrared spectrum into your body. We have the mPulse Smart Sauna and it has far separately, mid separately, near separately, and red all into one place so you don’t have to use different devices. You can get the benefits of all four wavelengths in your infrared sauna.

Ann Shippy, MD

That’s exciting.

Connie Zack

Yeah. It’s really exciting and it’s new.

Ann Shippy, MD

Ask you about that soon.

Connie Zack

Yeah.

Ann Shippy, MD

Glad you mentioned it and we’ll come back and talk about that a little bit more because it really is a good industry.

Connie Zack

It’s cutting edge. I mean you can’t let go and yeah, for wave advanced think about it. It’s just like literally like harnessing and bottling the sun and bringing all of the light benefits both via heat because you get to be a heat and you get to be a light and you bring that power of heat and light together in one place. I mean it’s really, what a great experience, what a great opportunity for people to not have to do multiple different things. You can do it all. You can sweat and receive the light benefits on your brain and your body in one place.

Ann Shippy, MD

Can you just go back and rise on the putting the near and the red light together that what the synergy is between those.

Connie Zack

Yeah. There is data showing that they penetrate at different levels and so a lot of people would just focus on one. But when you do both you are really providing a maximum benefit to the body. For example if you’re looking at skin collagen production, you’re because you’re getting one that’s going the invisible is going in the deepest and then you’re getting one that’s not as deep. You’re really covering almost three times the benefit when you just think about how it’s going into your body and versus just doing them alone. There’s lots of data. I mean, a lot of it is on our website we can send you links in order to work together. It’s something we’ve been exploring for many, many years. To finally be able to bring it to the forefront is really super exciting. You helps with immunity and energy. I mean it’s not just the skin. There’s some other great benefits as well.

Ann Shippy, MD

Beautiful. I’d love to. A lot of times when we think about the infrared sauna and how it benefits the patients that are being affected by mold and mycotoxins is the detox part. I would love you to elaborate on that a little bit.

Connie Zack

Yeah, that’s my favorite benefit of what we do because I feel like it’s like building a house. It’s just it’s so important to have, the foundation, the basics covered and have it clean and healthy and strong so that you can add on different rooms, different parts and different benefits. I look at detox as that. Far infrared is really the ideal part of the infrared spectrum to focus on detox. There’s studies done and pairs and  it’s called the U.S. study that looked at lots of different toxicants. Mercury being one of them oxycodone, lead, I mean, lots of different different toxins and measured the amount that was released via blood, urine and sweat. What is so interesting and powerful is that people who thought they didn’t even have those toxins because they didn’t have any in their blood in urine when they measured their sweat, they found all this mercury and all this other stuff in their sweat. If you’re not sweating by using you because other ways to sweat, of course, but, the study they used imprints on and they showed that it was removed.

We did a study a lot about this one in a while. But back in 2005 with the University of Missouri, Kansas City, and the main outcome was lowering blood pressure and the cardiovascular benefits. But another benefit that was released and it was a double blind placebo controlled randomized study. What I mean by all of that kind of mumbo is the people did not know which one was infrared and which one was not. It was also compared to another infrared. Just just in general is infrared comes in. Infrared varies based on the surface temperature, based on the quantity and the quality of the wavelength received into the body. You really want what was done as we have mastered the delivery and the reception of that wavelength and patented it so that you can be guaranteed when you’re getting a sauna from sunlight and you’re getting the most amount of infrared and the most efficient delivery mechanism. You’re not sacrificing time or quality for that experience.

Ann Shippy, MD

You’re saying something really important here in that it really is important which brands you get because there’s other or multiple ways to deliver the infrared aspect. It’s really important to do that research behind your purchase.

Connie Zack

Exactly. We found that in that study at that time and again, this is a long time ago almost coming up on 20 years that it’s it matters. Because the arms which has our heat our patented heaters what the other one that looked exactly the same that was still heat and nobody knew that the we significantly lowered blood pressure. We helped with increase in circulation. We helped change the quality of life scores for active detox, which is the topic is we also were able to remove toxins from the body, people didn’t even know they had. Like I remember that as somebody who had arsenic and that was removed. How powerful is that? Because you start to combine arsenic with other things like the firefighters and you start to just kind of load that on. Eventually you can not feel well and not know why. That’s why I just feel like detox is so important, too, because, as a female when you’re starting to take you’re starting to look at your body in different ways and how can I be as healthy as possible?

How can I get as much energy? You need to make sure that all of your organs are working to their maximum benefit. I know a lot of people would take a lot of supplement, a lot of medications, depending on what they’re taking, that could be kind of compromising their just natural delivery agonism without even knowing. It’s really important to cleanse your body and detox and get rid of stuff and then you can put good stuff and like the healthy stuff and the stuff like that. I watched your Instagram and I mean, I get addicted to here. It’s so great because it’s so easily consumed like I love it and it just and you have such a logical and easy way to explain things. But what’s important is you need to have your body clean before you start adding on other things. I think so often people trying to add on so many things because they don’t feel well that’s the importance of detox and far infrared is really the healer of all the wavelengths for that because you’re increasing your core temperature, you’re removing these toxic elements, the sweat and we do have I do want to mention while we’re on this topic, we do have two series that are far infrared only.

I mentioned that because I am here, my mission with Sunlighten is to provide access to infrared to help people everywhere provide light hope and happiness and have them live a fuller life. I get really excited impart the smart infrared sauna,, which we can talk about, but you don’t have to have all four. Is it super special? Yes. But if you’re looking and people are listening and they have mold and they’re suffering from a lot of the things that people are listening. You can start with far infrared only and you can get the solo, which is one of sunlight and just one person sauna. It’s awesome. It’s so effective. It’s like it’s so powerful. I mean, and I swear every day during COVID, like it was just so are my kids. I mean, it’s just amazing. Very efficient. It can be lifted from one room to the next. You can take it on trips if you really want to. I mean, it’s a little awkward because it doesn’t completely fold. If you’re traveling in a car I know people over the years who have shifted their solo to if they’re going to go on and be someplace for a while, they want to make sure they get their sometimes on experience. That’s one option. Then we also have a signature, which is a wooden cabin as far infrared only. It’s just important for your listeners to know that for detox specifically, that’s which are a goal. Such a lot of people who are listening, I’m sure that’s where they want to start. That’s a great way to start and I’d rather you start there and not think, “Oh, I’m going to save up and wait.” Sunday is today. Let’s just get it started and then you feel better and then you can add on the other things later. Or maybe never. Whatever works. 

Ann Shippy, MD

It’s a great strategy. Yeah. Just get started.

Connie Zack

If you want to get started.

Ann Shippy, MD

What you can.

Connie Zack

So often I have these conversations with people who “I can go wait for this. I’m gonna wait for this. I’m going to wait for this.” You just don’t know what tomorrow holds. Why not live your best life today with the tools and the resources and the information you know and you have access to and people who are watching this are watching. You are listening for a reason. They follow you for a reason because they trust you and you provide great information and you do your due diligence and you’re authentic and real and you’re not going to talk about a product or therapy or anything that unless it’s been proven and backed up. Take advantage of the fact that you do have done all of this and, get started with something and the solo is a great it’s a great path. You don’t even need to go to the cabin because a cabin costs more and it’s good. It’s a lot of times people have space for the beautiful wooden cabins. It’s all you can literally put anywhere.

Ann Shippy, MD

Yeah. That there’s no barrier to that. That’s and it’s just such a great way to think about detox as a series of dams and a really complicated combination of goodwill spending together. A lot of times if you can just really help one one of those dams get opened up so that the detox pathways are working better, it just relieves everything upstream so much more quickly. That I’ve just found that when people will get started with an infrared sauna, that it just expedites the healing process. I love the science behind all the things that you were talking about, the mechanisms of how the light is actually working in the body and what it’s doing. It’s one thing, but it’s working on so many different mechanisms at the same time. These cog wheels are spinning better together too. At the same time, the dams are opening up together. It really is just such a simple thing to implement. I would love to segway into that a little bit about if you could share some of the best practices for getting started with it with the infrared sauna, because some people are pretty sick when they’re getting started and it can be a little scary to them about, well, that’s the best way first to not just get the optimal benefit, but to make sure that their bodies can adapt to it.

Connie Zack

Mm hmm. Yeah, that’s a great question. In fact, let’s start with you just talked about the solo. Is that one is a little bit different as far as when you get started, because the control panel has it has nine different settings. When you said that, it just made me think of like if I was going through mold toxicity or different types of conditions, that it was adversely affecting my health and I’m okay, I’m going to do this now. Super excited. You want to start slow and for example, using the solo as an example, I would start I’m one of the lower settings. The settings are based on the temperature in the air. I would go as like between one and three, like one of the lower ones to see how your body responds to it. Because a lot of times as you can speak on this that are the me people are, they’re so toxic that like those dams, they’re all blocked. It’s taken a while to get there. It’s going to take a while to unlock and to release and to open up. You want to allow your body to open up. Sometimes the best way to do that is slowly and especially with infrared at a cooler temperature, because at a cooler temperature, the wavelength is longer and easier and is more easily absorbed.

You’re going to receive it in a much gentler fashion, but it’s going to be received more efficiently. You’re going to feel better because of the way that it’s received. Dr. Hamlin, who I just think is so bright on the topic of infrared, always tells you like how people turn on the sauna and get it. I don’t think have to wait again. It’s a whole wait thing. I have to wait until it’s x temperature or whatever. Soon as you turn it on, you’re releasing the infrared wavelength and you’re actually going to get the most amount soon as you turn it on because it’s going to be absorbed into your body faster. You’re not going to feel hot with this, turn it on and you’re not going to start sweating. It is turned on, but that’s okay. You’re opening up the dance and that’s what really matters know.

Ann Shippy, MD

You may not sweat for a while.

Connie Zack

Alright especially people who are.

Ann Shippy, MD

Patients.

Connie Zack

But yeah just never sweater.

Ann Shippy, MD

It’s really hard for them to sweat when they start sweating easily. They get so excited like, Oh my gosh, I just walked outside and I started spotting because that is an indication of health that you can actually sweat. 

Connie Zack

Yeah. A lot of people, I am sure that are coming to your summit it probably takes them quite a bit of time to sweat and some of them never sweat. I would tell them do not get discouraged. You are still doing something good for yourself. Know it will happen. It’s just going to take a while. Keep doing it. So, start slow.

Ann Shippy, MD

Slow is so.

Connie Zack

Slow.

Ann Shippy, MD

Me too.

Connie Zack

Yeah, exactly. Drink plenty of water. Keep doing it. It’s better to do just a little bit than not do it. It’s okay. I just think people get so hard on themselves with trying to be perfect and everything. It’s really better to be good enough and do it for 10 minutes and see how your body responds because you probably have a really pleasant experience and then you’ll want to do it again and you do it for 15 minutes. You’re like, “Oh, that was great.” Versus going in and turning it on the maximum temperature, doing it 40 degrees or 40 minutes, and then you’re like, “Oh my God that’s probably not a good idea.” Just start slow and work up to it.

Ann Shippy, MD

What do you think people should be working up to? Like what? What’s a sweet spot to just kind of be happy with?

Connie Zack

Yeah. Sweet spots, 40 minutes. That’s my favorite length of time. I notice a big difference between 30 and 40 is what I would call kind of a zone difference. Like very similar to if I run or if I do hit or like different types of workouts where like the first x minutes that are difficult and challenge my goal and am I doing here. Then I finally get into that just zone where I feel like I could go forever, and that’s between 30 and 40. I always encourage people once they get for the people who start to heal, once they get to that point where they feel like they can extend to go for that, go for that extra ten, because magic happens in that once you get to that the time and you can even go to 45. But boring to me is I mean that’s a sweet spot.

Ann Shippy, MD

How many days a week do you think is optimal?

Connie Zack

Well, it’s great if you could go in every day. I mean, that would be ideal. However, that’s not realistic for a lot of people. Three to four times a week would be fantastic. Now, if life is busy, if you can’t find a way to work it into your lifestyle and have it, then do it on Sundays, like start somewhere and do it. You’ll find that you’ll figure out how to add more and and more frequently.

Ann Shippy, MD

Maybe, as a multitasker, do you find.

Connie Zack

How can you tell?

Ann Shippy, MD

Me too. What are your favorite things to do when you’re in the sauna.

Connie Zack

Yeah, so have so many, depending on what’s going on in my life. But I mean, I always bring in my hot water with women. Always, like always, I always leave a I like either a pad of paper or a piece of paper, or I leave some way to write down the thoughts that come to me because it always happens. Sometimes I get and I really try them. Doesn’t always happen. To be completely honest to not bring in my phone too. Sometimes I feel like that’s one of the things that I am going to do in there because I’m stressed out about X, Y, and Z to this person. I’m going to do both. I’m ideally I try not to do that. If I don’t have my phone, I need a way to capture. I have come up with some ideas that my most favorite ideas or favorite messages, favorite ways to communicate, like just so many great things in the sonnets. Other things I love to do. I love to stretch because I feel that my body is like the most agile when I’m in there. I can get the biggest range of motion when I have when I’m in an environment. Then when you add on the near, which is also helping and that’s fantastic. Then my newest one that I’ve added on is my breathwork. I’ve been really working on mindfulness and breathwork and just really trying to hold my breath down because I once I get on it, it came on. Like, I mean it’s just like how many things can I packed into one day When I’m in there while I do want to have it. It’s really rare Like in fact it never happens where I don’t do anything else just because I feel like I’m in here. Like, why don’t I do something else that is also healing and beneficial for me? Like, it doesn’t make sense.

Ann Shippy, MD

Love that idea. Yeah, you’re the first person that I talk to someone that’s really talked about breathwork. What’s so incredible is that’s another field of study that’s getting so much good research behind.

Connie Zack

That’s great. I haven’t seen I mean, I’ve just been doing it kind of on my own because.

Ann Shippy, MD

Brilliant idea the combine the two.

Connie Zack

Two. Yeah. I feel like I always feel so much more pleasant, so much calmer, so much, which is I like what I want because what I’ve learned which is, being a physician, when you’re brain, when you are stressed and you’re going a million miles a minute, like to me it’s almost impossible for the brain to think as clearly and as precise with the intelligence that’s needed to make that decision. Is it just it’s like in the fight or flight mode versus in that beautiful and peaceful, clear state of mind mode, which like when I’m in my Sunlighten  and I’m doing really good breathwork I’m not sure if I’m doing it right, I just do it wrong. 

Ann Shippy, MD

Different approaches to it. Actually, it’s been an area of interest for me the last two years, so you can’t do it wrong. Often just listening to your intuition about the type that’s good for you or how to do it is good for you.

Connie Zack

Okay? That’s what I’ve been doing. I measure my heart rate and I just I also kind of try and make sure that as parts come in like I kind of let them go. I just really focus on feeling my body breathe and just taking that precious moment to slow down and slow down the breath. Anyway, that’s one of my new favorite things I really like. I really love it. I encourage people to do it.

Ann Shippy, MD

It also helps how you talked about increasing oxygenation. It actually it’d be fun to do a study on this. I’m thinking combining these because I bet it actually accentuates that increase oxygen. 

Connie Zack

Yeah. Well I always the tissues. It’s probably one of the reasons because I always ask people asking like how do you feel afterwards? Like, describe to me how what is your own personal feeling? I’m like, I feel like I can just go home like a accomplish anything. Like I have so much energy in all and my head’s clear. My head’s lighter, too. Ihat kind of gets back to that whole detox aspect of when you’re loaded down your body is heavier and and then that’s why people get tired. Ihen when they get tired, they don’t have the desire or the energy to be able to do things. They really just want to feel better. A lot times they don’t feel good because they’re they have toxins in their body. I think providing a way through breathwork and saunajust being able to allow the body to go back to its normal state and restore and be healed so often we don’t allow our body to be healed because we’re just like stressed. That’s another benefit of doing the breathwork, too, is I kind of picture in my head of like okay, bring on those way of like just like bring it into my body and just give me all of that with the greatest amount possible. To produce that benefits I’m looking for.

Ann Shippy, MD

I love that, welcoming the wavelengths. That’s beautiful. Oh things it changes kind of the just the whole intention of putting that effort and work into it. Back to best practices. Yeah. Minerals are super important because we do lose some minerals. My favorite things for minerals and hydration.

Connie Zack

I’m really into lemon water. That’s kind of my big thing. I also will supplement with different types of electrolytes. I would love to hear your take on that because I get asked this a lot and  I don’t feel an expert in those categories because I just focus on like my body and what I know. There are certain things that if I work out too much that I become quickly deficient. I need to go out there and I need to make sure, like my physician would say you can you’re signing and you’re doing this and you’re doing really you need to make sure you’re replenishing. Then I just as per okay, so.

Ann Shippy, MD

I would love to share. Yes. Drinking enough water and replacing it. There’s a product called Quinones that is a concentrated seawater. That’s my favorite. Then we also have a product that we carry called Electrolyte Breather that has a lot of the sodium and other minerals in it that you can just actually mix into a purified water that you’re drinking before, during or after the sauna. Those are some really good options. But I think it’s so important if you don’t have any of those things. I think even just taking some pure sea salt and mixing in the water and making it taste good with a lemon.

Connie Zack

I have done that. Yeah. When I’m in a pinch or whatever, and I just feel like that I’ll just put in some sea salt and squeeze a good lemon to help that in the taste. I love lemon. Yeah, I’ll do that. But on products I’m gonna to get you get some recommendations because we get asked that a lot. We probably need to take that and reapply and steal your recommendations and share them.

Ann Shippy, MD

I’m happy to share. The other thing on best practices is that I really ask people to see our office as soon as they can afterwards and just so that they don’t reabsorb any of the toxins that their bodies been able to release. Sometimes people will be now on the go and it just takes at least a quick rinse off like if you put your hair up or whatever, that’s fine. You don’t have to get your scalp, but at least get a rinse up on your body.

Connie Zack

Yeah, that’s a great ad for sure. Yep.

Ann Shippy, MD

Well, this is so exciting. I’m so glad that we covered this topic so well. I would love it if you would cover a little bit about the sauna options.

Connie Zack

Yeah, of course. The options. We’ll start with the solo because that would be a lot of people are saying I just feel intuitively that is like the right sauna for people listening to get started and the solo has the option. You can also get the pad with it or you can get it without if you get it with. It’s called the solo system and the PAD has four of our patented heaters underneath you and then there’s five heaters above you when you’re in the solo. Solo system is would be my personal recommendation if somebody was looking for calm, friendly. We have this signature, which is a wooden cabin, which is far infrared only as well. If you want to have a sauna that you want to take with somebody else and detox, that would be the great, great solution. We have amplify, which is a relatively newer sauna we introduced a couple of years ago, which has full spectrum heaters in front of you. This sauna is designed and then the far infrared behind you. Sorry. This one is designed for that person that really enjoys that boost to amplified experience of heat and they just really they just need that it looks great is you can turn those amplified heaters you can turn them on or off. If you don’t want them on and you just want the far infrared, you can do that, too.

Then for the days that you want that I want that extra heat. It has a blend of near, mid, and far in front of you. Then turn them on and you can get that. I have a lot of friends are kind of I just really want that heated and like great so that’s what amplify is designed for. Then we have the Impulse Smart Sauna that now has integrated red light into it because of the benefits of having the benefits of near-infrared and red being better together than alone. That is, as we discussed, the only place where you can get far infrared separately. Then there’s different mid-infrared heaters. Those are two to deliver severe heat. Then you have near-infrared and red light that are via that LEDs. It’s a really intense experience, intense in a really good way for your body. The other thing I should mention, for those who are looking at the Impulse Smart sauna is you. It comes with a tablet that has six preset programs so you don’t have to sync.

It’s kind of like the easy button. You don’t have to think about how do I know which wavelengths to use and how long, like as far as best practices, how do I know? How do I know how well we’ve done on it for you? We taken all the science, we’ve done all the brains behind the scenes. Literally all you need to do is get in, pass the benefit that you’re looking for, and then power that up and it’ll start, firing up the recipe for that wavelength. There’s cardio detox, anti-aging, weight loss, relaxation and pain relief.

That’s actually a really nice summary because I realized we didn’t. I didn’t ask you all the questions about the benefits of the sauna, but that really highlights the bulk of them. We go through this one more time.

Connie Zack

Yeah, of course, cardio. There’s like as we talked about it, like so many studies on how to make your heart as healthy as possible and if you’re have hypertension or heart disease or recovering from a lot to any type things heart related, that’s an excellent, excellent program for you. Relaxation, which is need. People just need to make sure are doing things to completely de-stress. That’s a really important.

Ann Shippy, MD

All of us.

Connie Zack

Yes, all of us for sure. Pain relief. This is my favorite program for people that are going are they have their training for anything if they’re doing a triathlon or not even triathlon. Maybe they just started running like anything connected to muscle recovery, it’s I love that program so much. I toggle back and forth between different programs and what’s going on in my life. Then there’s weight loss which is self-explanatory and debilitate anti-aging so anti aging, I mean, talk about that just one second, because I think it’s so interesting that in that program it’s just the invisible lights and the far infrared we have left out mid infrared because for the skin and for the like improved collagen production and just kind of the restorative reverse aging approach, it’s really best to not have intense heat wavelength into your skin. That’s a really interesting program and I will do that a lot of times before like a do event or definitely before. Like I always do it before I go out for like a black tie gala, any type of presentation. I covered cardio relaxation, anti-aging detox, and this detoxification is the other one. Those are the key six pillars. I mean, there’s other benefits, like immunity. There’s new science on depression. There’s great benefits for hormone regulation, regulation helping with your thyroid. I mean, there’s lots of different things that the last six are really great.
