Infrared Sauna for Longevity

Embrace a new vision for how you age.

Imagine enjoying your life as you age. Longevity science is revolutionizing our perception of aging. It provides actionable insights to extend healthspan and lifespan. It’s bringing new data that empowers a mindset shift from fighting aging to believing DNA doesn't determine your destiny. And, that you can impact how you age.

Look at yourself through the lens of your biological age, not your birthday.

Here’s where the hope begins. Biological aging, simply put, is not about counting your years but understanding how your cells, tissues, and organs age over time. Factors like genetics, lifestyle, and environment all play a role in biological aging.

Biological Age

Measures how well your body’s systems are working

Can be reversed

Most important influence on how you age

Chronological Age

Measures number of years alive

Can’t be altered

Doesn’t affect how you age

A healthy lifestyle contributes to better biological aging.

Can lifestyle changes make you younger? A 2022 large-scale study examining 6,000 adults revealed a positive association between adopting a healthy lifestyle and favorable biological aging markers, including telomere length and mitochondrial DNA content, concluding lifestyle choices promote longevity and vitality.

The Blue Zones study led by Dan Buettner and featured in a best-selling book and Netflix docuseries, conducted over several decades, identified regions globally with exceptional longevity, attributing this to lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, social connections, and sense of purpose. The findings underscore the profound impact of healthy habits on extending lifespan and overall well-being.

If you’re going to make one lifestyle change, infrared sauna is your ultimate full body longevity tool that will deliver vast health benefits.

Infrared goes beyond just heat, it’s also light.

Heat helps. Light helps. Infrared is both. Discover why infrared is such a great longevity tool that offers the benefits of hormesis and heat shock protein activation as well as the benefits of light therapy to deliver photon energy to your cells.

Infrared sauna is a healthy lifestyle tool that targets 5 key markers of aging.

Like healthy eating and exercise, infrared sauna is a lifestyle choice that has systemic, cellular, and molecular impact. And, infrared light and heat positively influence these 5 primary biological processes included in the 10 hallmarks of aging among longevity scientists (that is half of them in 1 tool!):

Enhances cellular energy

AGING MARKER: Mitchondrial Dysfunction
Mitochondria are like cell engines, providing energy (ATP) for every part of our body. With age, these engines can wear out, causing decreased ATP, increased oxidative stress and impaired cellular energy metabolism.

Infrared light helps by boosting mitochondria with energy, improving function, and making more “engines” when necessary. This could counteract mitochondrial dysfunction, keeping cells healthy and helping slow aging.
