“Hey! What’s going on? A few things to go over about the sauna that are very important before you use your sessions.

First and foremost, you can sign up easily online just as if you’re training here at EarthFIT. The second thing is probably the next most important thing is that your hydration levels need to be increased by like 50, 60, a hundred percent because it’s gonna heat your body internally like the sun does without the radiation; that’s the effect that it gives and it helps to eliminate the toxins faster and you’re gonna lose a lot of sweat. Essentially the best way to do it is after a training session you go into the sauna so you’re gonna lose twice or triple the amount of sweat. So, increase your hydration, preferably put in some himalayan sea salt in your water to get your electrolytes back. It’s going to be eliminating toxins, it’s shown through the sweat in the sauna, you’ll be eliminating about 20/ 30% more toxins through your sweat and that’s one of the benefits of the program or the sauna.

A few things: because you’re eliminating toxins while you’re sweating you kind of want to be wiping down consistently so you don’t reabsorb the toxins. So bring towels in, wipe down the sweat, you also want to be wiping down the area once you are finished. So we have a little brush there that you can dump in the bucket and wipe down the area that you sweat on on the bench or on the floor and then you can wipe it down with the towel as well. I would recommend directly after taking a cold shower; this will increase the benefits, it will help your lymphatic system and it will also cool your core temperature right away.

We have 4 half hour sessions that we’re giving initially to people until September 15th. I’d recommend that you start off with the 1/2 hour. If you feel fine with that then increase to an hour session cause you’ll get the most benefits of an hour in the sauna.

There are contraindications with using the sauna. In the email that I sent out there’s a link and you could look out the list. I’ll always just recommend you know asking your physician if it’s okay, if you’re taking medications, etc. if it’s contraindicated.

Again, it’s best to use the sauna directly after the training session. The reason being the cardiovascular system help mobilized the toxins and then if you go into the sauna it will help get them out of your body, and it will also enhance the recovery of your training session. You’ll feel better afterwards.We want to keep the sauna completely clean so again clean up right afterwards, after you use it but we will be cleaning it weekly, we’ll be doing deep cleans to make sure and ensure that it is clean for you. And now I’m just gonna walk through the training right now and take you to the sauna real quickly you get a glance at that training as well. So we’re in the Saturday training right now – Strength Training.

EarthFIT Sauna

And…here’s the sauna. Alright, so another thing about the sauna: we want a limited amount of clothing while you’re in the sauna. It doesn’t penetrate clothing well (the heat waves in the sauna.) So you want to come inside here, close the door to regulate the temperature. You can open up the door. You’ll see what the temperature is right here. Roughly, we want to get it above 120. Alright, and then the timer’s right here. We can increase the time. We have an AUX cord in here so if you want to bring an ipad or your phone you can hook it up here and then we have speakers so you can listen to your music. This is a 4 person sauna we’re limiting it to 3 people because it does gonna get tight in here so just be respectful of others in here if they just wanna chill out, hang out, that’s the important thing.

Alright, so we also have medical grade chromotherapy. This is a healthy radiation light wave that is given off by the sun. This is been proven to help with diseases or cure diseases or get rid of diseases essentially. So there’s numerous functions and benefits of the sauna if you haven’t seen the list of benefits that I put down please check it out because they’re endless and the results that we’ve been hearing about the sauna are just incredible and me myself have seen incredible results. But one of the main reasons that we got the sauna in the first place was to do the niacin detox protocol and that will be for eliminating toxins that you’ve accumulated over the years that are stored in the fat cells and are hard to get out of your system. And more to come on that, that’s a little bit more serious protocol for somebody who’s like really interested in eliminating accumulated toxins over the years that might be stored in the brain. The brain is 60% fat so we want to make sure that we’re eliminating those toxins so that it’s not increasing our chances of neurological issues later on in life.

Alright, so go ahead and sign up for your 4 sessions. I think you’ll really appreciate the sauna, you’ll see the benefits instantly and we’ll see you in the sauna!”

“Hey! What’s going on? It’s Ian Hart here at EarthFIT and today I’m going to just go give you a little tour of the sauna and then give a pointers on keeping it clean, how you want to handle the sauna, how you want to use it, how it’s powerful for detox and then I’m actually going to jump in the sauna for about an hour today myself, and I’ve been building up to an hour. The first day I did about half hour, 35 minutes, I did 45 minutes the next one, and then I’ve build up to it. And then I’m going to be doing a specific detox after that.

So here is the sauna, it’s a 4 person sauna as you can see it has a stereo system. Right now it’s on clear glass, we’re going to be getting some dividers here so people won’t be looking out at the gym because right now this is open to the gym.

And so there’s a few things for the sauna. You want to be extremely hydrated, you do want to progress to longer term. The power is in the sweating so when you’re sweating we know that the toxins are coming out from the sweat. This is proven through research that the sweat you do in your training is helpful but in the sauna the toxins increases by a large percentage like 80-90% more.

This is most powerful after a training so if you do a training you want to go into a sauna, you continue to sweat you’ll get more toxins out. In the training it uses your cardiovascular system so it gets the toxins circulating and now there’s two ways that the toxins get out your body – through your intestinal tract, and through the sweat. And so we do the sweating and then I always recommend if you’re not doing the actual detox which includes supplements that you take bentonite clay, bentonite clay binds with the toxins in your gut and carries them out. You can also use activated charcoal but activated charcoals are a little bit harsh on the body, it does absorbs a lot of toxins and the minerals in your body as well which is not that beneficial but it can be beneficial if you have like serious toxins in the body. They use it at the emergency room if you overdose on you know drugs, alcohol etc. to absorb the toxins.

So once you go into the sauna you want to make sure you’re not overheating so you should be extremely hydrated and you should hydrate while you are in there. You’re going to start pouring sweat, you want to grab a few towels and be continuously wiping the sweat down. Sometimes it gets annoying because you’re like you’re really sweating in here non stop like you wipe on place and then where you wiped 2 seconds later you’re sweating again. But, because there’s toxins and the sweat you don’t want to get it re-absorbed so you want to wipe it and get it absorbed in the towel about 15-20 minutes in the towel I’m using and I don’t really sweat that much like compared to some other people, it’s pretty much soaking wet so you want to have 3 or 4 towels ready if you’re going to go in for an hour. If you hit a point where you feel extremely fatigue and tired from it, you can just step out or open up the door if it’s just you by yourself. You can just step out for 2 seconds if you’re in there with other people who want to keep it hot there’s a timer. We want to set the timer… and actually I’m going to set the timer it’s about to go out as I step in here so I’m going to go up 60 minutes. And then if the door is open like it is right now it’s going to go down in temperature quite a bit, it’s a 117 degrees in there. As soon as I close the door it’s going to start to go up in temperature. It’s set at its highest possible degree right now which is 158 degrees. I’ve noticed that at set with 158, it goes up to about 145-146 it never really gets up to 158. I haven’t seen that yet.

And when you’re done, you ‘re gonna be sweating and dripping sweat all over there inside and so it’s very important that we keep it clean. Again, these are toxins coming out of you. So we have a bucket here to wash down and we’re going to be getting… we have a mop that’s going to be attached, not a mop but a scrub brush. We would sweat it down in the bucket and take it inside and scrub down completely the area that you have been sitting in that’s wet with the sweat. And then we scrub it down and then we wipe it down again with a dry towel just to take up all the toxins and then we will be cleaning it once a week – a full cleaning.

The other thing that is very important to know is that after your session in the sauna, you want to take a cold shower for few reasons; This will cool your core temperature, it will wash off the toxins and sweat in the body. You don’t want to keep that on you for a long time and it helps your immune system, and actually stimulates your immune system so it helps your lymphatic system drain out some of the toxins again and then if you’re drinking a big glass of bentonite clay… let me show you what I have right now. These are my water supply for the session. I’ve already drank about 8 cups of water so I have another 4 cups of water here and another 2 and a half here. This is bentonite clay, I’m going to drink this after my session or maybe a little bit during it to absorb more of the toxins.

So for people who are going to be going in the sauna at EarthFIT, you must watch the video. We’re giving 4 free sessions away to everybody at EarthFIT who is currently a client with us and 4 half hour sessions to use so you can try it out, see if you like it, see if you feel the benefits and this video you must watch it first so you understand everything. Now, the next step after this is we’re going to be having a powerful detox. It’s one of the best detox you can do bar none; this is research for over 60 years. There’s not many places in the US where you can actually do it because it’s very entailed process but I will be taking people through this to help cleanse the toxins that have been accumulated over their whole entire life. And so when this occurs, there’s massive changes on the energetic level, mental level. I’m taking them to the next step and actually help people heal, and recover from you know things that they didn’t even really realize were there. You’ll see radiation come out of your body. For example, when you take some of the supplements and go into the sauna you’ll see sunburns come out of the body, you’ll see places where you’ve been injected with anaesthesia or… where they put anaesthesia in your body and even things like if you’re in a korean pool for large part of your life which I was as a kid, chlorine come out, numerous other things that I can tell you about. They’ve used this on people who are 911 victims who inhaled all the chemicals, people who have gulf war syndrome and other people who are exposed to harmful toxins to help them release those toxins. Alright, and they’ve seen these symptoms disappear as soon as the toxins release and you can actually see it on the towel. So this is the benefits of the sauna, as well as how to go about using the sauna for the best benefit and the best health effects. Have a good day!”

Near, Far, Mid Infrared Sauna

Near, Far, Mid Infrared Sauna

Published by on June 9, 2016 | Leave a response

Hey EF Fam,

Last week I announced that we will be getting the top of the line sauna at EarthFT LI which will have far infrared, mid infrared and near infrared as well as medical grade chromotherapy and no electromagnetic frequencies. I will explain what the latter is in another post. The response has been amazing and people are more excited about it than I thought they would have been. Truth be told, after doing a ton of research I was happy to purchase the sauna even if no one was interested but me. It turns out a TON of people are VERY interested and you will find out why below.

I have also received a ton of questions about it and I will fill you in more as time goes on. In the mean time I figured I would share some info from my friend Bret who I would consider an expert on Saunas and the detox protocol that goes along with it that we will be implementing for those that want it. This should answer some questions I have received. See below.

Committed to your success,

Ian

Near, Far, Mid Infrared Sauna

 

Types of Infrared

BRET BOUER·FRIDAY, MAY 13, 2016
Here is some information on why Far Infrared Saunas are the most effective way to mobilize toxins. Also listed below are benefits of near and mid infrared.

Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., of Seattle: In one study performed by American researchers, the sweat of people using a conventional sauna was found to be 95 to 97% water while the sweat of those using an infrared thermal system was 80 to 85% water with the non-water portion principally cholesterol, fat-soluble toxins, toxic heavy metals (such as mercury and aluminum), sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia and uric acid. This unusually high concentration of heavy metals and other fat-soluble toxins is not found in the sweat from normal exercise. Mercury is the most toxic element on earth, second only to plutonium. Hyperthermic detoxification using these saunas is not only uniquely helpful in removing fat-stored toxins from the body, but also as an adjunct to mercury removal.

Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., of Seattle, who has been called ‘the holistic doctors’ doctor and teacher, is one of the pioneers in combining the use of far-infrared saunas with the chelating agent DMPS in a heavy metal detox protocol. Dr. Klinghardt explains, “Since hyperthermic sauna therapy removes metal contaminants from the body, we have found that it may be used to further the benefits derived from chelation therapy. And we have also found that it may be an alternative for those who are unable to undergo chelation. Research conducted by U.S. scientists has demonstrated that close to 80% of individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome will improve markedly by a guided detoxification program. We combine this approach with hyperthermic therapy using the far-infrared sauna, as well as exercise and chelation. The results we are seeing are very promising.”
There are also some benefits to near and mid infrared that I will list below. Far Infrared should be the foundation of any sauna. A full spectrum sauna would be ideal because it would have near, mi.d and far infrared. I have only found one brand that is truly full spectrum. I have found that many brands lie about that as well Message me Bret Bouer for more info.

Here is a very basic overview:

Far Infrared:

  • detoxification[i]
  • lowered blood pressure[ii]
  • relaxation[iii]

Mid Infrared:

  • improved circulation[iv]
  • weight loss[v]
  • pain relief[vi]

Near infrared:

  • cell health/immunity[vii]
  • wound healing[viii]
  • anti-aging[ix]
  • oxygenation of tissues[x]
  • Dr Nicholas Perricone has youtube videos explaining the benefits of near infrared. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRWWi-Mps_8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5loc9NXRpk
  • BOOSTS METABOLISM– The mitochondria (power plants of the cells) produce more ATP (energy currency of the cells) when NIR (near infrared rays) is introduced. (1,2)
  • REDUCES BODY FAT– A group of 20 women riding stationary bicycles 3 times per week for 4 weeks exposed to NIR lost an average of 8 cm’s or 444% more as compared to 20 women doing the same exercise without NIR. (3)
  • INCREASED ENERGY– NIR activates the color sensitive chemicals (chromophores & cytochrome systems) to depths of 23 centimeters (or about 10 inches), stimulating the energy processes in cells. (1)
  • IMPROVED CIRCULATION TO THE MUSCLES – NIR causes the release of nitric oxide. This stimulates vasodilatation of the microcirculatory system, bringing more blood to the muscles. (4)
  • BETTER ENDURANCE – Muscle fatigue was reduced by up to 42.2% when exposing muscle to NIR. (5,6)
  • INCREASED STRENGTH– Growth hormone release is induced by an increase in body temperature and not by exercise itself. Growth hormone increases muscle mass, calcium retention, and lipolysis (the breakdown of stored fat). (14)
  • FASTER RECOVERY TIME– Certain tissue regenerating genes including integrins, laminin, gap junction proteins and kinesin proteins have shown a two- to five-fold increase upon exposure to NIR. (7,8)
  • WORKOUT IN LESS TIME– Due to increased production of ATP and quick dilation of the microcirculatory system, a person can lessen warm-up time and work at a higher level of exertion without increasing blood pressure. (1,9,10)
  • DETOXIFY THE BODY– Increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands, releasing built-up toxins and waste. Sweat is the only way to remove certain carcinogenic PCBs, dioxins, phthalates, and volatile organic hydrocarbons. (11)
  • REDUCED VISIBLE CELLULITE– Cellulite is fat mixed with toxins that are trapped, in part due to an underactive circulatory system. Cellulite is so visible, in part due to weakened connective tissue. NIR helps rebuild connective tissue and has been shown to reduce cellulite. (12)
  • REJUVENATES SKIN– DNA Synthesis of fibroblasts, which affects the elasticity of skin, increase five-fold with NIR. The result is younger-looking, more beautiful skin. (1,7)
  • LESSENS JOINT AND MUSCLE PAIN & INCREASES FLEXIBILITY – Penetrating heat from NIR has long been proven to reduce pain and increase circulation to areas of discomfort. NIR has also been shown to significantly increase the range of flexibility. (13)
