The mindbodygreen Podcast · 642: The science of sweat, saunas & stress | best-selling author Bill Gifford · 22 Mar 2026 podcast

They go full extreme.

Although, you know, the sauna has a door for a reason.

It's so you can get out.

you're not trapped in there and i will say so for the outdoor heat training aspect of it the heat adaptation training that i did i mean i used a little um this kind of cool little device heat it was like a core temperature sensor it's called the core and that actually tracked my body temperature as it as i would like ride my bike you know up the nearest mountain pass here in

here in Utah, and so I could watch, I could see, even though I'd be feeling like, oh man, it's really hot out, I'd look and see that my body temp was like 100 degrees, so I'm fine.

So that was interesting.

That made me feel safe.

I think there's value in leaning into discomfort and leaning into the thing that you think you don't like.

And for me, that was heat.

But it's also extreme cold.

I wrote a cheeky chapter called The Case Against Cold Plunging.

But, you know, I'll be honest, I find value in it.

And, you know, I feel on some level it's good for me to do a hard thing.

So I think that is the biggest takeaway.

And it doesn't have to be, you know, sauna is super trendy right now.

It could be the hot tub, you know, it's whatever, it's what you like, you know.

Yeah.

As opposed to flattening it, right?

So if you're at a flat, constant temperature level, I think that's not that great for us.

Like, I think we're meant to be able to handle fluctuation in our lives.
