Why Sauna Gets Better After 40 | Nat Kringoudis

Well, hello there.

I'm going to steal your attention for the next 10 minutes and hopefully blow your mind because we are going to dive into why the sauna gets even better after 40.

And if you're experiencing hot flushes or night sweats, or you're just generally feeling hotter, which is very common, I completely understand why someone telling you to voluntarily sit in a hot box is Might sound slightly unhinged, but stay with me because once you understand what's actually changing in your body through your 40s in perimenopause and menopause and beyond, the sauna becomes super interesting.

And it's not just because it feels good.

We can all claim that.

We know how great we feel after we have a sauna.

But it's because your hormones, they don't just change in isolation.

So as estrogen and progesterone, they begin to fluctuate.

In fact, actually, progesterone is first to taper off and then estrogen kind of follows and eventually they decline together.

They influence systems throughout your entire body, your brain, your blood vessels, your metabolism, your temperature regulation, sleep, and the way that you also respond to stress.

So today I wanted to explain why I think sauna is one of the most underestimated tools for women over 40.
