Infrared Sauna
Hi there, I was wondering if you could talk about whether infrared sauna has the same benefits of a more traditional sauna. I know they don’t get as hot but wonder if you just stay in longer if it would have the same benefits? I bought one to help with my joint pain from rheumatoid arthritis and wondering if it doesn’t even work. Thank you so much! Love your podcast! (I’m a therapist and recommend your podcast often to clients as an aside)
Altitude sickness
Hello, Andrew! First of all, thank you for your immense contribution to public education! I'm a mountain guide and have heard many opinions and tried many practices that presumably prevent altitude sickness. But are there any methods, routines and supplements that are actually scientifically backed for avoiding altitude sickness, enchancing acclimatization and physical performance in low oxygen environments, apart from the classic medicines like acetazolamide and dexamethasone, which are used to treat (severe) altitude sickness symptoms when they are already present?
