    100NO 699: The Truth About Infrared Saunas: Benefits & Myths with Sebastian Mierau

    Today we tackle one of the hottest trends in health and longevity: infrared saunas. With social media awash in commentary — from skeptics to evangelists - and high-profile figures like Bryan Johnson dismissing their benefits, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction.   To unravel the science, history, and practicalities behind saunas, we welcome Sebastian Mierau, founder of Clearlight Saunas International and a longtime expert in sauna technology and wellness.  Whilst Sebastian is a friend of Marcus, we don’t shy away from asking the hard questions that listeners want the answers to.    We explore the origins of both traditional and infrared saunas, discuss the potential health benefits and risks (including electromagnetic fields), and answer whether infrared saunas really stack up when it comes to improving longevity, recovery, and relaxation.  Whether you’re a sauna skeptic or superfan, this episode is packed with accessible science, practical advice, and some surprising perspectives on what it really takes to live a long, healthy, and enjoyable life.   05:21 Cultural history of saunas 08:28 Traditional sauna practices 10:27 How infrared saunas work 13:12 Explaining infrared heat sources 17:32 Innovative EMF shielding techniques 20:24 Understanding Infrared Types in Saunas 24:34 Sauna's calming infrared effects 28:31 Infrared vs. Hot Rock Saunas 32:36 Infrared therapy in Germany 33:31 Infrared saunas and body temperature 42:38 Future of biohacking and vegan longevity

    100NO 698: Lab Research vs Lived Experience | Longevity's Greatest Challenge

    Today we dive into what it really means to age well, using lived experience as the guide versus the latest lab-based research.  Fresh off the City to Surf run—despite a pesky calf injury— Damo shares his lessons from pushing physical limits in his 50s, as we challenge the narrative that we should slow down as we age.  On this ep we explore the difference between “old man / woman injuries” and the badges of honour that come from being actively engaged in life.  We touch on inspiring stories of longevity, from 90-year-old athletes to the wisdom of Blue Zones, and reflect on the importance of staying competitive—no matter your age.  Plus, get a peek into our upcoming travels to Sardinia and Ikaria, where we’ll continue searching for the secrets of exceptional longevity. If you’re a crazy one and want to book a last minute spot - we may have one remaining.
