In this video, I cut through the pseudoscience on sauna use promoted by Rhonda Patrick and Andrew Huberman. I show that Rhonda and Andrew misrepresent what the scientific literature says in order to hype their public image and accumulate clicks and money. The epidemiological studies that they cite are heavily confounded, and even if they are not, they show no benefit of sauna use in healthy people. The benefit of sauna use in people with chronic disease may be driven by reverse causation. Therefore, there is substantial risk of sauna use, and there may be no benefit. But this side of the story is not told, because it is inconvenient to the Huberman-Patrick hype machine.

Enjoy.
