In this of Sauna Talk, Glenn Auerbach is joined bench-side by Josh Leddy of Get Sweaty with Leddy and sauna builder Leif Kjorness of Excelsior Saunas for a deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation recorded after multiple sauna and cold plunge rounds on Lake Ann in Minnesota. What unfolds is more than a discussion about sauna. It's a conversation about craftsmanship, friendship, healing, community, and the ways sauna culture continues to evolve while still holding onto its roots. Josh shares how his lifelong connection to sauna eventually inspired him to launch Get Sweaty with Leddy, a YouTube channel and podcast focused on natural healing, pain management, and meaningful conversations that happen best on the sauna bench. He talks about his upcoming mobile sauna project, his vision for creating immersive wellness gatherings through movement and music, and why sauna creates a unique environment where people can truly connect without barriers. Leif reflects on his journey from custom home building into the sauna world, and how building saunas became more than construction work — it became a calling. He discusses craftsmanship, quality building principles, the importance of slowing life down, and the fulfillment that comes from creating spaces where people gather, reflect, and reconnect with themselves and each other. The conversation also dives into the details behind the "party sauna" concept, including large panoramic windows, skylights, thoughtful ventilation, and building mobile saunas designed to foster memorable shared experiences. Throughout the episode, Glenn shares stories from the early days of SaunaTimes, the origins of Sauna Days on the North Shore of Lake Superior, and his own formative sauna experiences hitchhiking through Finland and Sweden as a young traveler. Together, the three discuss the rise of mobile sauna culture in Minnesota, the power of hot-cold contrast therapy, the difference between manufactured cold plunges and natural bodies of water, and the emotional reset that happens when people gather around heat, steam, cold water, and conversation. There are moments of humor, reflection, and philosophy woven throughout — from stories about cutting fresh ice holes by hand to discussions about social media fatigue, authentic community building, and the importance of finding your own operating system for life. Glenn closes by sharing the personal framework that grounds him today: Freedom, Enoughness, Nature, and Simplicity. This episode captures what sauna culture is really about at its best: generosity, vulnerability, camaraderie, and the simple but profound experience of being fully present together. Topics discussed include: Mobile sauna culture Sauna building and craftsmanship Sauna Days and grassroots sauna community Cold plunging and winter swimming Natural healing and pain management Lake Superior sauna culture Music, movement, and sauna gatherings The mental and physical benefits of contrast therapy Friendship, reflection, and slowing down The future of sauna culture in America Guests: Josh Leddy — Get Sweaty with Leddy Leaf Kjorness — Excelsior Saunas

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 4 (5.8) Comedian Gary Gulman joins the show with a hilarious take on the people who decided how to abbreviate U.S. states, turning everyday mail and geography into comedy gold. Dr. Ray Casciari returns to break down whether saunas and cold plunges are actually good for you, who should be careful, and why people with heart or lung conditions — especially those over 60 — should talk to a doctor before jumping into extreme heat or cold therapy. The show also highlights the 50th annual High Desert March for Babies, happening Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Victor Valley College near the VVC Lake. Robert Pine and Larry Wilcox from CHiPs will be there to support local moms and babies, making it a special event for the Victorville community and classic TV fans. Plus, the great reading debate: do you dog-ear pages in a book? The crew explains what “dog-ear” means and why some readers see it as harmless while others consider it a book-lover crime.

In Episode 298 of the Pool Nation Podcast, Edgar and Zac are joined by industry experts Robbie Walker and Michael Viegas from Solenis to break down one of the most misunderstood areas in the pool industry — spa, hot tub, and cold plunge water chemistry. If you've ever treated a spa like a pool… this episode will change everything. We dive deep into: Why hot water chemistry behaves completely differently The truth about biofilm, bacteria, and “human juice” in spas The real differences between chlorine, bromine, and biguanide systems How aeration, temperature, and bather load destroy your chemistry Why your sanitizer disappears overnight The rise of cold plunges and wellness systems And how pool pros can turn spas into a profitable service category This is a must-listen for pool service pros, repair techs, and anyone looking to level up their understanding of water chemistry — especially in smaller bodies of water like spas and hot tubs.
The medical stop-loss market is in trouble. With industry-wide loss ratios running dangerously high, several major reinsurance carriers have recently decided to exit the market entirely. If you are an advisor putting small, 25-life groups into self-funded plans, you need to understand the extreme volatility you are exposing them to.My guest, Mehb Khoja, the newly appointed COO of BCS, joins me to discuss the current state of the stop-loss and reinsurance markets. We break down why the stop-loss model is breaking under current loss ratios, why self-funding isn't always the right answer for smaller employers, and how BCS is strategically using ancillary and voluntary benefits as a form of medical cost containment. We also discuss his journey from pension actuary to C-Suite executive and why introverts can make some of the best salespeople in the industry.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callcompletegameu.com/agaKEY MOMENTS(00:00) From Pension Actuary to Insurance COO(01:54) Why Introverts Make Excellent Salespeople and Advisors (04:54) The Destiny Health Story: Selling Early Wellness Programs in the Mid-2000s (09:07) Who is BCS?

We break down recovery as the real driver of strength and health, then show how chronic inflammation can quietly block progress even when training looks consistent. We connect daily signals like fatigue and resting heart rate with blood work markers so you can stop guessing and start adjusting with context. • recovery as returning to a physiological baseline across nervous system, hormones, and immune regulation • signs of poor recovery like persistent fatigue, sleep disturbances, stalled performance, elevated resting heart rate • systemic inflammation basics and why chronic inflammation harms tissue repair, hormone signalling, mitochondrial function • blood work markers to discuss with your doctor including CRP, ferritin, SHBG, free testosterone, fasting glucose, liver enzymes, vitamin D, cortisol rhythms • why free testosterone can matter more than total testosterone for performance and wellbeing • how often to test blood work and why baselines in younger years can change interpretation later • sleep as the highest priority recovery tool over cold plunges and saunas • anti-inflammatory nutrition basics including omega-3s, berries, olive oil, whole foods, less ultra-processed food and sugar • training balance with deload weeks and the principle that better is better than more • stress management tools like walks outdoors, breathwork, and optional meditation • gut health as an immune regulator and why testing beats self-diagnosing supplements • using a feedback loop with training logs, blood work, and one change at a time Check the show notes. You can email me. I will share. I have a doctor, Dr. Omar Ashtar, who is in North Austin, but we everything is virtual, so you don't have to as long as you live in Texas, you can work with him.

The Open ends and the emotional whiplash starts: you're fired up, a few movements just exposed you, and you're either ready to level up or ready to forget the whole thing until next year. We walk through what actually works after the CrossFit Open, including how to turn “I need to get better at that” into a realistic plan built on discipline, not a temporary motivation spike. We also get into the messy truth about skill work, especially ring muscle-ups, power-to-weight ratio, and why chasing advanced gymnastics without the right foundation is a fast track to frustration or a blown-up shoulder.Then we shift into the biohacking world: saunas, cold plunges, and why the trend cooled off when influencers moved on. The science didn't disappear, but the marketing got reckless. We break down what we've personally found useful for recovery, sleep, blood pressure, nervous system regulation, HRV, and stress resilience, plus the myths we want dead forever like “detoxing” through sweat. You'll also hear straightforward weekly protocols that normal people can follow without turning health into a second job.Finally, we tackle GLP-1 medications like Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide). We're not giving medical advice, but we are sharing what we've observed coaching people through it: the “wrong way” that leads to muscle loss, side effects, and rebound weight gain, and the “right way” that pairs strength training, high protein, smart calories, and proper medical oversight to improve metabolic health markers like A1C and fasting glucose. If you've been curious, skeptical, or quietly considering it, this conversation adds the nuance most headlines miss.Subscribe for more coach-level breakdowns, share this with a training partner, and leave a review if it helped.

This week, Emily and Perry plunge, as it were, into the temperature extremes: cold plunges and saunas. Is there any actual value to shocking your body with ice water or sweating out an ocean? Or are we just gluttons for punishment? Plus: soaring measles rates, Jay Bhattacharya's double federal appointment, and pandemics lurking under the ice.

In this episode, I dive deep into one of my favorite topics—bio-individuality—and why your genes may hold the missing key to your health struggles. Kashif Khan joins me to unpack how his own health crisis at 38, marked by eczema, psoriasis, gut issues, depression, and debilitating migraines, sent him down a rabbit hole that ultimately led to genetics. What he discovered completely reframed the way he thought about wellness.We explore how two people can eat the same food, live the same lifestyle, and experience radically different outcomes—and why that discrepancy often comes down to gene expression. Kashif breaks down dopamine pathways, addiction tendencies, trauma imprinting, and how certain genetic profiles can be both a superpower and a liability depending on context. If you've ever wondered why you're wired the way you are or why certain habits feel nearly impossible to break, this conversation will hit home.We also get into estrogen metabolism, detox pathways, hormone replacement therapy, environmental toxins, and the shocking role negative emotions play in turning disease-related genes on. One of the biggest takeaways for me was how ancestral habits, geography, and even generational trauma can influence which genes are expressed.This episode is a powerful reminder that health isn't about chasing trends—it's about understanding your unique blueprint. If you're tired of guessing and ready to personalize your approach to fitness, supplements, hormones, and longevity, this one is going to open your eyes in a big way.Join the free DNA Five Pillar Program webinar and live Q&A with Kashif and me on March 4 at 7:30 pm Eastern Time/6:30 pm Central Time.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Rachele Pojednic, a Stanford faculty member and Chief Science Officer at Restore Hyper Wellness, to talk about the confusing gray zone between wellness fads and real science. We get into why so many health trends (like saunas, cold plunges, supplements, red light therapy, and IV drips) feel like they work… even when the research hasn't caught up yet. Rachele breaks down how wellness companies and influencers often take small, weak studies and turn them into massive claims — and how to spot that as a consumer. We also talk about what actually looks promising in the research right now (yes, creatine comes up), and why “natural” doesn't automatically mean “safe” or “effective.” If you've ever wondered what's legit, what's hype, and what's just expensive placebo, this episode will make you feel so much smarter.Sign up for our newsletter here!For weekly episodes, come join the Foodie Fam!Check out our book!Chat with us on IG @foodweneedtotalk!Be friends with Juna on Instagram and Tiktok!

In this episode of the Evolving Wellness Podcast, host Sarah Kleiner delves into her personal journey with fertility challenges, failed IVF attempts, and the significant impact of circadian and quantum biology on her health. After a pivotal conversation with Dr. Jack Cruz, Sarah emphasizes the importance of understanding leptin, mitochondrial function, and the nuances of individualized health approaches. She shares her transition from a carnivore diet, seasonal eating patterns, and the beneficial effects of cold exposure, notably resulting in a successful pregnancy at 42. The discussion extends to navigating pregnancy health, comparing modern and ancient practices, and how to naturally support immune function and neurological development in children. Sarah's story offers a blend of scientific insights and emotional resilience, aiming to inspire others on their fertility journey.Connect with ThomasInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/seagertp/?hl=enWebsite: www.morozkoforge.com | www.mygreenlamp.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ThomasSeager_________Sponsored By:→ Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide.→ VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/→ Organifi | If you want a collagen that supports your body head-to-toe, head to https://www.organifi.com/sarahk and use my code SARAHK for 20% off your order._________Timestamp:00:00 The IVF Journey: Emotional and Financial Struggles00:13 Discovering a New Path: Dr. Jack Cruz's Advice00:47 The Complexity of Health Solutions01:26 Introducing Today's Guest: Cash Con02:26 Podcast Introduction and Disclaimers03:46 Sarah's Health Journey and Metabolic Challenges05:48 The Role of Diet in Metabolic Health06:37 Cold Therapy and Pregnancy08:47 Pregnancy Loss and IVF Decisions11:42 The Impact of Cold Plunges on Fertility13:03 A Miraculous Pregnancy at 4214:31 Navigating Pregnancy with a History of Autism17:58 The Importance of Red and Infrared Light26:28 Childbirth Experiences and Hospital Policies33:52 Informed Consent and the Medical System36:02 Taking Responsibility for Your Health36:22 Common Pregnancy Symptoms and Misconceptions37:08 Personal Pregnancy Experience38:15 Diet and Nutrition During Pregnancy40:51 Blue Blockers and Circadian Rhythm42:22 Insulin Resistance in Pregnancy43:45 Cold Exposure Benefits During Pregnancy45:08 Post-Pregnancy Health and Diet49:15 Carnivore vs. Keto Diets52:00 The Importance of Vitamin D01:03:33 Nervous System and Health01:12:18 Concluding Thoughts on Pregnancy and Health——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!________________________________________Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

Cold plunges. Saunas. Vibration plates. Electrolytes. Mobility routines. Everyone has an opinion—but what actually moves the needle? In this episode of The Fitness League, Josh, Alessandra, and Joelle play a round of Smash or Pass with some of the most talked-about health and fitness trends right now. We break down what's worth your time, what's overhyped, and what depends entirely on you. Along the way, we cover the fundamentals that never go out of style—why protein matters for recovery and strength, why fiber is still wildly under-consumed, and when electrolytes actually make sense. We also talk through cold exposure, sauna use, Zone 2 cardio, mobility work, and macro tracking, with real-world context instead of blanket advice. This episode is about cutting through the noise, understanding your individual needs, and building a health approach that's effective, sustainable, and actually enjoyable. If you've ever wondered whether the latest trend is a game-changer or just good marketing—this one's for you.

Cold plunges are everywhere, and the way people talk about them, you'd think they're a miracle cure for your brain, body, and soul. But in an age of algorithm-fueled evangelism, when a ritual becomes this ubiquitous and loud, we have to ask: how much of the buzz is backed by science… and how much is just marketing? In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of cold exposure: what's real, what's overstated, and why this "discomfort" has become a billion-dollar industry. We discuss: Why cold plunges went viral, and how wellness movements often devolve into identity-driven cultures The difference between cold exposure itself and the monetized "cold plunge movement" What constitutes a "cult" (and how pseudoscience forms around partial truths) The real physiological cold shock response Why the mental "high" after a plunge doesn't automatically equal long-term brain benefit The cardiovascular risks that rarely get discussed, especially for people with underlying heart disease What the research suggests about soreness, pain reduction, and muscle growth (including why cold immersion can blunt hypertrophy) The real story behind brown fat Who should avoid cold plunges altogether (asthma, arrhythmias, coronary disease, vascular conditions) Joining us for this conversation is investigative journalist and bestselling author Scott Carney (What Doesn't Kill Us, The Wedge), who has spent years inside the cold exposure world, first as a skeptic, then as a believer, and eventually as a critic of the culture that formed around it. His work reveals what happens when discomfort becomes identity, and when unfounded "social media science" outruns real science.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman, the Stanford neuroscientist and Huberman Lab podcast powerhouse, has been lighting up timelines and headlines with his signature blend of brain science and no-nonsense health advice over the past few days. Fox News reports he jumped into the nutrition wars by endorsing the Trump administrations bold new food pyramid on X, praising its meat-and-fats-at-the-top rethink as spot on if you tweak it with more veggies and low-sugar ferments like sauerkraut, while confessing his aversion to shrimp and milk. This nod to HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jrs Make America Healthy Again push drew cheers from experts like ex-FDA commissioner David Kessler and the American Medical Association, positioning Huberman as a key voice in the real food revolution thats already sparking policy buzz with potential to reshape American diets long-term.Hot on its heels, Huberman dropped a marathon guest episode on January 12 titled How to Overcome Addiction to Substances or Behaviors with Stanford psychiatrist Dr Keith Humphreys, diving deep into everything from psychedelics and ibogaine to AA meetings, social media traps, and GLP-1 drugs for booze cravings, as detailed on the Huberman Lab site. Its a timely powerhouse amid rising addiction talks, blending hard science with practical tools that could influence recovery protocols nationwide.On the personal front, Prismedia ai spotlighted Hubermans latest health routine reveal, where he demystified cold plunges as a morning mood-and-focus booster timed to cortisol spikes, but just one arrow in a quiver stocked with freebies like sunlight and movementno ice bath dogma required. Earlier in the week, around January 6, Hindustan Times covered his Instagram viral on a 90-year-old grandpas flawless 20 push-ups, crediting lifelong daily effort, family joy, and a fun-hard-work mindset from colleague Dr Alia Crum. No confirmed public appearances or business moves popped up, but his X posts and podcast dominance keep the gossip mills churning on whether hes eyeing that Protocols book preorder for a wellness empire expansion.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, Food for Thought podcast remains listener-supported. To support this work and receive perks and exclusive engagement, please consider becoming paid subscriber (but don't go anywhere if you're a free subscriber)!Welcome to 2026—and to the 20th anniversary year of Food for Thought! I'm kicking off the new year with an episode about stretching our comfort zones through small, intentional practices that help us live with more clarity, resilience, and purpose.In this episode, I explore:* Why the idea of “doing hard things” isn't new at all—and how it's rooted in Stoic philosophy* What thinkers like Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius actually meant by hardship (hint: it wasn't suffering for suffering's sake)* How we can manifest this ancient practice in our modern lives* Why trends like cold plunges miss the point if we focus only on promised (and alleged) health benefits* How Dry January fits perfectly into this framework—not as a detox or moral stance, but as an experiment in awareness, habit, and choiceI also reflect on looking back at 2025—what I learned, what I practiced, what I shared with you—and why I still believe that setting intentions (whether for 24 hours or 365 days) is a powerful way to orient our lives.If you're feeling curious about:* Doing something different this year* Letting go of what's familiar just long enough to learn from it* Or giving yourself a gentle nudge instead of a total overhaul…this episode is for you.

In Episode 205, I had some health hacks I was excited about and now it's time to review them... This year brought us so much in terms of family, a new home, new coaches, and a baby girl (surprise!) on the way! I wanted to take this episode to review some of the hacks I had talked about at the beginning of the year, see what stuck, what I actually enjoyed and didn't, and what's going to make the cut in 2026. Since this is my first pregnancy, some things like cold plunging will have to go on the back burner but I'm excited to share what I'm excited about and what I will be taking with me into 2026. Some topics like private healthcare and peptides are topics I want to cover more extensively in later episodes but wanted to mention them in today's episode because I think they are two big topics.

I am with Dr Rob Williams for one of the most expansive conversations I have had on breath, resilience and what it means to be human in a world that moves faster than we can process. Rob shared his journey from near-death experiences to long distance running to teaching breath mastery and the cold as a teacher, and each moment revealed something powerful about how we reconnect to our bodies. He walked me through the ways breath shapes our nervous system, the role of cold exposure in building resilience and why slowing down is the doorway back to ourselves. What struck me most was how he frames breathing as both a biological superpower and a spiritual practice that brings us into harmony with life. This episode left me inspired to breathe with more intention, move with more awareness and stay curious about the flow that is always available when we tune in.Inside this podcast:- How breath connects the body and nervous system- Why the cold can build resilience and mental clarity- How voluntary stress strengthens mind and spirit- The science behind nasal breathing and heart coherence- How flow states emerge from conscious presenceConnect with Dr. Rob:Instagram → /drrobwilliamsWebsite → https://nordicflow.io & https://thenordicwave.com/Email → contact@doctorrobwilliams.comConnect with Steve:Instagram → /thestevehodgsonLinkedIn → /stevehodgsonEpisode Highlights00:00 - Introducing Dr Rob Williams01:46 - How breath shapes human experience07:41 - Breath as a human superpower10:46 - The deeper meaning of inspiration14:23 - Heart coherence and emotional flow19:53 - The biology of stress and fear23:09 - Voluntary stress and resilience25:12 - Cold plunging as a resilience tool33:39 - Trauma held in the body and cold release52:23 - Foundational breath practices for daily lifeABOUT THE PODCAST SHOWThe Noise of Life is a podcast that shares real stories, raw truths, and remarkable growth.

In this episode, Craig and I dive into our monthly listener Q&A — covering a mix of mindset, fitness, and lifestyle topics that hit close to home for a lot of people. We covered everything from testosterone therapy and self-limiting beliefs to training styles, getting back in shape after falling off, and whether cold plunges are actually worth the hype. Some of the questions we tackled include: Testosterone only went up 10 points after 9 months on TRT — does that seem off? What are our own personal self-limiting beliefs and how have we learned to work through them? Which is more optimal: circuit-style training or traditional hypertrophy work? If you were in great shape years ago but have since fallen off, what's the very first step to take to get back on track? Our honest take on cold plunging — effective or overrated? This episode is a blend of science, experience, and real talk — no fluff. Whether you're curious about optimizing your health or just looking for a little direction, this one's packed with insight.

This week, I'm joined by Dr. Felice Chan, a Chinese medicine doctor who bridges Eastern and Western approaches to healing after years studying allopathic medicine including shadowing an oncology neurosurgeon and working at Boston Children's Hospital. We dive into the fascinating contrasts between healthcare in Hong Kong and the U.S., the 5,000-year misunderstanding around acupuncture, and how our gut health connects to anxiety, depression, and even our skin. Dr. Chan shares practical, science-backed tips to reduce bloating, support digestion, curb sugar cravings, and shift your mindset around food—plus her honest takes on popular health trends like intermittent fasting and cold plunging. We also get into cosmetic acupuncture, what not to do on your period, how emotions manifest physically, and how to “eat your skincare” by nourishing your blood and creating a vibrant, resilient body from the inside out.This episode is brought to you by:Get 20% off your order at Bakedbymelissa.com/BLONDE.Go to ProLonLife.com/BLONDE for 15% off plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-day program.Visit Hungryroot.com/blonde and use code blonde for 40% off your first box.Go to fromourplace.com/BLONDE and use code BLONDE for 10% off sitewide.Get $10 off your first month's subscription and enjoy free shipping when you visit Nutrafol.com and use promo code BLONDE.Go to Quince.com/blonde for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order.Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this special live-recorded episode, actor Luke Cook—known for Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2—joins me for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what it really means to live well. Recorded during A Boundless Evening at HUME Los Angeles, this fireside chat brings together curiosity, science, and honest reflections on health, performance, and purpose. We start with the rhythms of daily life—how I approach mornings, training, and eating while traveling—and why balance beats perfection. You’ll hear how my cyclical keto approach helps me stay sharp and grounded while still enjoying the moments that matter. From movement habits and fasted training to the little environmental tweaks that keep me active throughout the day, we explore how health can be both sustainable and joyful. We dive into the evolving world of biohacking—cold plunges, nootropics, and stress adaptation—through both skepticism and lived experience. The conversation goes deeper than supplements or science. We reflect on the connection between discipline and creativity, the balance between ambition and family, and why my personal philosophy centers on healthspan, not just lifespan.Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/firesidechatla/ Episode Sponsors: Pique: Pique Teas are where plants and science intersect to produce teas and supplements of unrivaled efficacy, purity, and convenience.
