In this video I expand upon the first video where I discussed the epidemiological findings linking sauna to improved health outcomes. I cover the criticism I made in the first video in detail. This does not mean that these epidemiological studies are “wrong”. Rather, they are flawed and constitute weak evidence.

I also cover the much-bandied-about specialness of “heat shock proteins”, something that Joe Rogan has expressed fascination with. I show that the mammalian studies looking at overexpression of heat shock proteins actually show earlier death. While heat shock proteins might play a role in the purported health benefits of sauna, there is little evidence that this is true. Indeed, the opposite might be true: more heat shock proteins might actually cause an earlier death.

Enjoy.
