Today's episode is a powerful conversation about resilience, healing, and learning to support your body through every season of life. I'm joined by Jen Heller, host of the Homes That Heal podcast, who shares the incredible story that changed the trajectory of her life. After surviving a devastating explosion that took the life of a dear friend, Jen went on to experience serious health struggles in the years that followed—including an episode where the left side of her body became paralyzed for a time.. That experience became the beginning of a decades-long journey of asking deeper questions about her health and environment. Over the next 30 years, Jen focused on reducing her exposure to heavy metals, addressing thyroid concerns, making lifestyle changes, and ultimately losing weight and walking other people through creating lives and homes that HEAL. One tool that became an important part of Jen's personal wellness routine? Infrared sauna. During our conversation, I walk Jen through my current infrared sauna routine, and she helps me fine-tune it—especially for women navigating midlife, perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. One of my favorite reminders from this conversation is that wellness doesn't have to be extreme to be effective. Our bodies change, our needs change, and sometimes healing looks less like pushing harder and more like learning how to support ourselves well. If you have an infrared sauna—or you've been wondering whether one might fit into your wellness routine—this is an episode you'll want to hear. And even if sauna isn't your thing, Jen's story is an incredible reminder of what can happen when we become curious about our bodies, our homes, and the things we expose ourselves to every day. Listen in and share this episode with a woman who is navigating midlife and wants to feel better in her body. This episode shares personal experiences and general wellness information and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Always talk with your healthcare provider about what is appropriate for you, particularly if you have a medical condition or are considering significant changes to your wellness routine.

What are the real benefits of red light therapy and infrared saunas, and how could infrared therapy support detoxification, inflammation, pain, recovery, and overall cellular health? In this episode of the Health Detective Podcast, Michele Scarlet sits down with Robby Besner, Chief Science Officer and co-founder of Therasage, whose work with infrared technology began after his teenage daughter was diagnosed with Lyme disease.

We're creating space for the brains behind the brands we love, and asking good questions along the way. The result is a deep dive into the how and why of brand-building, from blueprints to launch day, customers as community and the detours in between. big lessons, easy listening. In this episode of Read Receipt, Sean sits down with Nico Varano, CEO of SweatHouz, the contrast therapy franchise redefining recovery through private sauna, cold plunge, and vitamin C shower experiences. Nico's path to CEO wasn't conventional. After starting his career in finance and private equity, he discovered SweatHouz while training for a charity boxing match and became the brand's first franchisee. After rapidly scaling his own studios, he was tapped to lead the company as CEO. Today, SweatHouz operates more than 100 locations across 25 states and has become one of the fastest-growing wellness franchises in the country. Nico shares lessons on franchising, customer retention, operational excellence, hospitality, and why the future of recovery isn't about flashy experiences, it's about building habits people return to week after week. Tune in for an inside look at scaling a category-defining wellness brand while balancing leadership, fatherhood, and the pursuit of sustainable growth! Chapters: 00:00 — Meet Nico Varano Nico shares his background in finance, private equity, and his family's restaurant business. 02:00 — Discovering SweatHouz How training for a charity boxing match led Nico to contrast therapy and ultimately franchise ownership. 03:36 — Becoming the First Franchisee Acquiring and growing the Assembly Row location in Boston. 04:28 — The SweatHouz Business Model Memberships, private suites, margins, and creating a scalable wellness business. 09:55 — Building a Habit, Not an Event The philosophy behind customer retention and long-term wellness behavior. 14:22 — Franchising at Scale How SweatHouz supports franchisees while maintaining brand consistency. 26:55 — What's Next for SweatHouz Loyalty programs, wearable integrations, and the company's future growth plans. 32:55 — Entrepreneurship, Fatherhood, & Leadership Nico reflects on balancing business growth with family life. 35:20 — Final Thoughts The future of recovery, hospitality, and building lasting businesses. Takeaways: Nico transitioned from private equity to becoming SweatHouz's first franchisee before ultimately stepping into the CEO role. SweatHouz has grown from a single studio in 2019 to more than 100 locations across 25 states. The company focuses on building “a habit, not an event” through recurring wellness routines. Memberships drive nearly half of the company's revenue and are critical to long-term retention. SweatHouz's private suite model differentiates it from many group-based recovery concepts. Strong hospitality and customer experience remain central to the brand's growth strategy. Franchising can accelerate growth when operators are empowered and included in decision-making. Technology, loyalty programs, and habit tracking will play a major role in the company's next chapter. Scaling a business requires balancing operational excellence with maintaining the core customer experience. Entrepreneurship and parenthood both require intentionality, flexibility, and making time for what matters.

Ep 113 | Everything holds energy, your home, your relationships, and your nervous system too. Today Megan Zechel joins us to talk about healing all of it.A lot has shifted since her first visit back in episode 16. She walks us through her own divorce, an experience she calls "the unbecoming," and how it led her into the nervous system and energy work she does today. We also talk about what happens inside one of her retreats, including a Puerto Rico immersion, and how to build that same sense of safety and surrender right inside your own home.
Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-06-2026: >ul> An emailer with persistent nine-month nerve damage in her right leg after a hysterectomy asks whether peptides could help. Dr. Dawn attributes the injury to lithotomy positioning during surgery, then reviews the main nerve-regeneration candidates in the FDA peptide review pipeline: BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound, strong rat data on sciatic nerve recovery with thicker myelin sheaths), intracellular sigma peptide (targets glial scar CSPGs blocking CNS regrowth), C3 peptide 156-181, GHK-Cu (copper peptide, upregulates nerve growth factor and neurotrophin-3), self-assembling hydrogel scaffolds for bridging nerve gaps, ARA-290/cibinetide (an erythropoietin fragment with early small fiber neuropathy trial data), and Semax (used internationally for stroke rehab). She adds standard functional-medicine adjuncts: alpha-lipoic acid, methylated B12, and methylfolate at high doses for six months. An emailer asks about safe features when buying an infrared sauna. Dr. Dawn covers three concerns: EMF exposure (look for shielded/grounded heaters testing under 1 milligauss at seat level, avoid unshielded Wi-Fi and Bluetooth panels); VOC off-gassing (avoid plywood, particle board, and MDF because of formaldehyde and benzene release, and avoid Western red cedar and pine because of high terpene emissions and instead choose poplar, basswood, or eucalyptus); and avoid built-in oxygen ionizers, which produce ozone as a coronal-discharge byproduct that irritates airways and generates secondary oxygenated VOCs. Dr. Dawn covers the surprisingly long list of medications that raise estrogen in middle-aged men—including nearly all antidepressants and antiepileptics, statins, NSAIDs (specifically naproxen and indomethacin but not ibuprofen), most blood pressure medications, PPIs, H2 blockers, Parkinson's drugs, antihistamines, and muscle relaxants. She recommends annual monitoring of the estrogen-to-testosterone ratio and offers rebalancing options: topical chrysin (blocks aromatization), indole-3-carbinol, calcium D-glucarate (blocks enterohepatic estrogen recirculation), soy (competitive receptor inhibition), and grape skin extract. The first mRNA-based flu vaccine was approved this week for adults 50 and over. Beyond the 27% improvement in seasonal efficacy over conventional shots, the strategic advantage is manufacturing speed. This will be critical when or if bird flu mutates to respiratory human transmission. Since mRNA vaccine can be reprogrammed from a new viral sequence in weeks versus the three-to-four-month growth cycle for conventional flu vaccines, rapid response can save lives. But mRNA vaccine side effects include more injection-site pain and fatigue - more like a tetanus shot than a traditional flu shot.. A Spanish prospective study of chemicals affected puberty in the young studied 500 girls followed from ages 7-10 and again at 14-16 used urine chemical measurements as objective exposure markers rather than food diaries. Ethylenethiourea, a metabolite of dithiocarbamate fungicides used heavily on strawberriess,was associated with earlier menarche, while a chlorpyrifos metabolite was associated with delayed menarche. this latter effect was more pronounced in overweight girls whose fat tissue concentrated the compound. Dr. Dawn recommends organic strawberries and keeping children away from fumigated fields. University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine researchers developed a chewing gum from lablab beans containing the natural antiviral protein FRIL, which reduced oral HPV by up to 93% in samples from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients. The gum also suppressed Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis, oral bacteria that promote cancer recurrence. Michigan State University's Hamburger lab studying delphinium (larkspur) alkaloids joined forces with Tomáš Pluskal's Czech Academy of Sciences lab studying wolfsbane (monkshood) after meeting at a Barcelona conference. Together they mapped the biosynthetic assembly line for aconite—an alkaloid with valuable applications against malaria, pain, cancer, and agricultural pests but impossibly slow to extract from source plants—and cloned the pathway into tobacco, which grows aggressively and produces large quantities of the compound. An emailer named in the message asks about an incidentally-discovered enlarged aorta on CT. Dr. Dawn notes it officially becomes an aneurysm at 4 cm (annual monitoring) or 5 cm (six-month monitoring), with smoking cessation critical since tobacco directly weakens the aortic wall. She describes the "zipper of fire" back pain of dissection versus catastrophic rupture, and notes Medicare covers a one-time screening ultrasound for ever-smokers over 65.

Ep 111 | What if your clothes could tell your muscles to let go? Not stretch them, not massage them—just signal them to release. That's not a wellness fantasy. That's what Brian Burzynski built.Jen sits down with her friend Brian Burzynski, founder of Intelligent Threads, to talk about something most of us have never considered: that we're walking around in a constant state of muscular tension—and don't even know it. Life, stress, and years of structural compensation do that. Brian spent 15 years developing frequency-infused textiles with a particle that signals those muscles to release and stay released, supporting structural alignment, deeper sleep recovery, and improved athletic performance. This is the conversation Jen has been wanting to have on this show for two years, and it was worth every minute of the wait.This episode is for anyone who feels tight even when they're lying still, wakes up more tired than when they went to bed, or has wondered why the same pain keeps coming back no matter what they try.

Ep 110 | Most builders compete on price. Paul Kealey says the real cost of a new home shows up in energy bills, air quality, and your health.Paul Kealey joins Jen to talk about why a newer home isn't automatically a healthier one, and what's really driving the mold and air quality problems hiding behind so many walls. We get into passive house design, his BURDEN framework for the hidden stressors in your home, and the real, current mold story unfolding in Jen's own family right now.
You'll learn why more heat and longer sessions are not always better, how infrared exposure may influence circulation and cellular energy, and why it can be a valuable addition to the fundamentals of healing. Infrared therapy is not a replacement for movement, hydration, nutrition, sleep or medical care but it can help the body create a better internal environment for recovery. In this episode, Dr. Perry chats with Connie Zack the co-founder of Sunlighten Saunas. We discuss: The differences between far, mid, and near-infrared wavelengths Why hotter and more isn't better. How infrared therapy may support blood flow, oxygen delivery and nutrient movement The relationship between infrared light, mitochondria and cellular energy Potential benefits for relaxation, sleep and nervous-system regulation How infrared sauna may support exercise recovery and inflammation regulation How beginners can start "low and slow" with shorter sessions How session length should be adjusted based on health, energy and tolerance Why consistency matters more than forcing yourself through an intense session The goal is not to chase another complicated health intervention. It is to understand how a simple practice helps calm the nervous system, move the fluids, support cellular energy and improve the conditions in which healing can occur. ✔️ Discount code to save up to $1500 on your SUNLIGHTEN for Stop Chasing Pain Subscribers Code: 'stopchasingpain' Website for Sunlighten Sauna

Eliza Coupe is an actor who has appeared regularly on shows like Scrubs, where she was Dr. Denise “Jo” Mahoney, and Happy Endings, where she starred as Jane Kerkovich-Williams. She's also a person who lives much of the time in Joshua Tree, California, dedicating herself to a rather elaborate, daily, hours-long spiritual practice. We're going to let her go through all that effort while you simply lie back and listen to her smooth professional actor voice tell you all about it. Hear about her sauna suit, her collection of dogs, her supportive husband who would rather not join in on all this business, and the ever-transforming power of snakes. And we play a round of In The Cart Or On The Shelf with actual coupes. Listen to Miracle Tones, the music Eliza Coupe listens to, to unwind, focus, or just zone out, man, on Spotify.

Send us Fan MailAndra Erickson is a certified life coach, wife, and mom of three, and the owner of Pure Sweat + Float Studio in South Jordan!During her career as a health coach, she had the courage to ask the question- What if her clients could sleep deeper, reduce stress, and recover faster—without adding more to their plates? This is why Andra helps busy people recharge their bodies and minds through relaxing in a full-spectrum infrared sauna and float suite—so they can show up better at work, at home, and in life.Floating is as close as adults come to returning to the womb. There's a deep sense of safety and being that enables the ability to let go, be free and experience the calming effects of being truly plugged into the present moment. Floating supports decision-making, confidence, and an easeful path forward.She also discovered that Infrared sauna is one of the most proactive ways to be healthy and stay healthy! Sweating is the body's natural and safe way to eliminate toxins, and Far infrared (FIR) wavelengths amplify this process by reaching deepest into the body, where toxins are stored, breaking them apart so they can be released through sweat.Find Andra at-IG- @pusesweatsouthjordanhttps://www.puresweatstudios.com/south-jordan-utahFind Boundless Body at-myboundlessbody.comBook a session with us here!
Are infrared saunas as effective as traditional ones?If you've ever sat sweating on a wooden bench in a traditional ('Finnish') sauna wondering if there was an easier way, could infrared be the answer? Infrared saunas work at lower temperatures, ostensibly making it easier to stay in there for longer. Listener Paul got in touch after trying one and wants to know if infrared saunas give you the same purported benefits as traditional ones. Those claims include: improved cardiovascular health, weight loss, longevity and even benefits to mental health and depression. But what's the evidence and does it amount to a load of hot air?To get the answers, Greg Foot is joined by Professor Chris Minson, an expert in the effects of heat on the body who's carried out research on infrared saunas. All of our episodes start with YOUR suggestions.

Ep 96 | What happens when you do everything “right” in the medical system and still have to figure out your own personalized path to healing? Freddie Kimmel knows that territory… and he lived to build a map for the rest of us.Freddie survived testicular cancer, Lyme disease, heavy metal toxicity, and years of chronic illness that left him bedridden, broke, and searching for answers Western medicine couldn't give him. In this episode, he walks us through his winding road of recovery—from Broadway stages and emergency surgeries to discovering tools like PEMF therapy, infrared saunas, lymphatic drainage, and oxygen therapy that actually moved the needle.This is personalized biohacking in the truest sense: not “here's the protocol,” but “here's how to ask better questions about your own body” especially when navigating cancer recovery, Lyme disease, and chronic illness.
Infrared saunas have gone mainstream, but most people still don't know how they work. In this episode, Jeff talks with Connie Zack, co-founder of Sunlighten, about the science behind infrared light therapy: why it penetrates the skin differently, what it does to your mitochondria, and how consistent use supports whole-body health.

In this episode, we explore how infrared sauna use and infrared light therapy can support hormonal balance and mental health. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared heat penetrates the body more deeply at lower temperatures, helping activate the parasympathetic nervous system and reduce cortisol levels. This stress-lowering effect plays a key role in supporting hormones, including thyroid function, insulin sensitivity, and overall endocrine balance.Infrared light therapy, particularly red and near-infrared wavelengths, works at the cellular level by boosting mitochondrial function and increasing energy production (ATP). This can enhance recovery, reduce inflammation, and support brain health. These cellular benefits may also contribute to improved mood, with research suggesting positive effects on anxiety, depression, and neurotransmitter balance.Both infrared sauna and light therapy can promote endorphin release, improve circulation, and support better sleep—key factors for mental clarity and emotional well-being. When used consistently and alongside healthy lifestyle habits, they can be powerful tools for managing stress, optimizing hormones, and enhancing overall resilience.Connie Zack is the co-founder of Sunlighten, the global leader in infrared sauna and light therapy. Inspired by her brother's health transformation, she and her husband, Aaron, left successful pharmaceutical careers to revolutionize the industry with science-backed innovations. Connie is a pioneer in infrared light technology, driving widespread education on its benefits through collaborative partnerships. A passionate advocate for holistic health, Connie integrates nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, and infrared therapy into her life. As a mother, wife, wellness enthusiast, entrepreneur, she brings light, hope and happiness to the world through her expertise in how infrared light and heat impacts healthy lifespan.

Ep 94 | What does it take to come back from a life-altering injury—and not just recover, but rebuild stronger than before? This episode dives into grit, recovery, and mindset. It's a powerful reminder of what the human body and mind are capable of.In this conversation, we explore the reality of injury recovery, resilience, and endurance training when everything you thought defined you is suddenly gone. Sean Hackney shares how a catastrophic knee injury nearly led to amputation and how that moment became the catalyst for a completely new path.We also talk about how his mom's cancer battle became a deeper source of purpose, fueling his journey to complete 11 full Ironmans and over 20 half Ironmans. This isn't just about racing; it's about identity, discipline, and how grit and resilience shape long-term healing and transformation.
Jen Heller is a functional wellness consultant and infrared sauna expert who has spent nearly two decades helping people understand how to use healing tools — especially infrared saunas — safely and effectively. In this episode, she opens up about the health crisis that started it all: crushing fatigue, brain fog, and 100 pounds of unexplained weight gain in her mid-twenties that conventional medicine wanted to address with surgery. A chance introduction to Nutrition Response Testing revealed off-the-charts heavy metal toxicity — and an infrared sauna as her path forward. That single recommendation changed the trajectory of her life and eventually led to her platform, her podcast Homes That Heal, and her consulting practice. Freddie and Jen also get real about the mental health challenges facing so many people today — and why creating intentional, healing-centered spaces and communities matters more than ever. From Jen's "Heller Haven" retreat home to Freddie's backyard sauna gatherings, this conversation is a reminder that healing doesn't have to be clinical or solitary. Whether you're navigating a serious health protocol or simply trying to feel better in your own body, Jen's message is clear: no time like the present, and your health is your greatest wealth.

Ep 92 | Cuts, burns, bug bites, rashes—most of us have a different product for every problem in our medicine cabinet. But what if natural first aid worked better with fewer, more versatile solutions?In this episode of Homes That Heal, Jen sits down with Jodi Scott, co-founder of Green Goo, to talk about natural first aid, plant-based remedies, and why simplifying your first aid kit can support the body's natural healing process.Jodi shares how a moment during pregnancy—reading the ingredient label on a common first aid product—sparked a deeper search for herbal remedies and plant-based alternatives for everyday skin care. What began as herbs growing on a family farm eventually became Green Goo, a company focused on simple, multi-use products designed to support cuts, burns, bug bites, and other everyday skin concerns.If you've ever opened your medicine cabinet and felt overwhelmed by expired tubes, complicated ingredients, or products that only solve one small problem, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on simplifying your first aid kit and working with your body's natural defenses.

Athletes using infrared saunas post-workout experience faster reductions in soreness, improved strength recovery, and better neuromuscular performance within 24 hours compared to passive rest Using infrared saunas immediately after exercise yields stronger results than delayed sessions, as it extends the body's natural repair window when circulation and metabolic signaling are elevated Consistent post-workout infrared sauna sessions over several weeks increase muscle thickness, explosive strength, and power output more effectively than training alone, especially for intermediate lifters Far-infrared saunas provide safer, more practical detoxification and circulation benefits, while near-infrared units risk burns and don't effectively deliver photobiomodulation benefits despite higher costs When using a sauna, begin at 120 degrees Fahrenheit three times weekly, gradually increasing temperature by two degrees weekly. Avoid overuse — start with daily sessions for 10 to 11 days initially, then every two to three days for maintenance
Stop treating aging as the aggressive pursuit of comfort and start mastering the biological truths behind the 30-30-30 method, nutrient density, and the metabolic importance of resistance training. In this Q&A session I break down how to eliminate processed foods, optimize your supplementation through blood testing, and leverage natural stressors like breathwork and grounding to reclaim your vitality. By making morning sunlight and mobility non-negotiable, you can reset your circadian rhythm and transform your body into its Ultimate Human version.
