"The HeatPod is one of the best additions I have made to my recovery routine. As someone who really struggles with a tight and stiff body, finding a convenient recovery routine is always something that I hold in high regard. What I love about the HeatPod is that you can bring it anywhere and it's so easy to use. No more spending $50 on sauna sessions. My hips are so grateful for this handy little invention! I'm obsessed!"

"I have been able to use the HeatPod on myself and on my patients and we are getting great results. They absolutely love the infrared heat, and I didn't have to put a massive infrared sauna in my clinic. The infrared heat is great for people that want to recover after exercise. It's also great to help detox, and it's actually a way to naturally give you pain relief. HYDRAGUN has done such a great job by packing it all together in this amazing HeatPod."

"I love using the HeatPod. It really helps me relax and recover after a tough day of training. I can put on a podcast, listen to music or just lie down and switch off. It has helped improve the consistency of my sleep and I wake up feeling more refreshed and recovered. It is now a big part of my recovery routine and would recommend to everyone who wants to add that little bit extra to enhance their recovery."

”The HeatPod has been such a great addition to my recovery routine! It’s been useful for my post-training recovery, and I also use it to help with pain management by warming my muscles up before sessions. I highly recommend the HeatPod for athletes as it has so many physical and mental benefits, but it’s also an awesome tool for anyone needing some extra recovery and relaxation. ”

Penetrates deep beneath the skin, providing not just warmth, but also health benefits that rival those of traditional saunas.”
What the HeatPod does for your body
Natural pain relief
Experience relief from chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia
[+]
Heat therapy through infrared sauna use has been shown to help reduce pain, stiffness and fatigue in
patients with musculoskeletal conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and
ankylosing spondylitis.
This happens through heightened ATP production under infrared exposure, which causes the release of
nitric acid and hyperoxygenates the blood. This, together with the dilation of blood vessels, causes
improved blood circulation and improved nutrient uptake, which reduces inflammation and pain.
Some studies also show that regular sauna use may help reduce the intensity of chronic tension
headaches.
Natural relief from chronic pain
Works like cardio
Enjoy many of the same physiological effects as cardio exercise, with similar fitness, cardiovascular and longevity
benefits
[+]
Sauna use results in many of the same key physiological effects as moderate-intensity aerobic exercise
– such as raised heart rate and core body temperature during, and lower heart rate and blood pressure
after.
Large cohort studies have also found that frequent sauna users experience cardiovascular benefits
similar to exercise – including improvements in circulation, left ventricular function, and heart rate
variability (a key marker of cardiovascular and autonomic nervous system health); reduced heart
disease and stroke risk; and longer lifespan.
Same physiological effects as cardio exercise
May help maintain muscle and boost metabolism
By increasing growth hormone synthesis and Akt/mTOR pathway activity, and promoting mitochondrial biogenesis
[+]
Sauna use boosts growth hormone synthesis both during and after the sauna session. Studies also show
that whole-body heat therapy may help to preserve or increase muscle mass by increasing activity in
the Akt/mTOR biological pathway, which plays a critical role in the body’s ability to maintain muscle.
This suggests that sauna may be an excellent intervention for preventing muscle loss and atrophy in
people with reduced mobility, or who are unable to exercise due to illness or injury.
Whole-body heat therapy may also help to boost mitochondrial biogenesis – a process which also occurs
as a result of endurance training – thus improving mitochondrial metabolic capacity, and leading to
gains in physical endurance and performance during exercise.
Muscle mass, metabolism, and physical performance
Boosts athletic performance and recovery
Improve exercise performance, reduce post-workout soreness and stiffness, and speed recovery from maximal endurance performance [+]
Sauna use helps athletes improve athletic performance via increased bioavailability of nitric oxide,
heat shock protein-mediated metabolic activation, and other immune and hormonal pathway alterations.
The deep penetration of infrared heat under the skin into fat tissue and the neuromuscular system has
also been shown to help the body recover more quickly from maximal endurance performance, via the
release of human growth hormone.
Athletic performance and recovery
Anti-aging
Triggers the release of heat shock proteins, which promote cell repair and preserve proteome integrity
[+]
Exposure to heat stress during sauna use triggers the release of heat shock proteins, which promotes
cell cycle repair and regeneration.
Heat shock proteins also help preserve proteome integrity. Your proteome consists of the full set of
proteins that are created or expressed by your genome. These proteins are critical to the functioning
of your cells and your body, and loss of proteome integrity over time is a major hallmark of the aging
process. Heat shock proteins help to stabilize, repair, and re-synthesize damaged cellular proteins,
providing anti-aging benefits and protecting against age-related health conditions
Anti-aging benefits
Skin health
Stablizes the skin barrier, regulates skin pH, and improves hydration [+]
Regular sauna use has been shown to have a protective effect on skin physiology, stabilizing the skin
barrier, increasing hydration in the stratum corneum, reducing water loss, and regulating skin pH.
Some studies also show that it may help with inflammatory and autoimmune skin conditions like psoriasis
and eczema.
Skin health benefits
Heart health
Improves key measures like cardiac index and heart rate variability [+]
Sauna use has been shown to improve multiple markers associated with the development of cardiovascular
and cardiometabolic diseases like dyslipidemia (high cholesterol), hypertension (high blood pressure),
atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke. Multiple studies have also shown that frequent sauna use
reduces cardiovascular mortality rates by as much as 63%.
As such, sauna use has been recommended as an effective preventative intervention for individuals in
high-stress occupations who are at higher risk for such diseases.
Heart health benefits
Cognitive and brain health
Increases neuroplasticity and neurogenesis in areas of the brain related to learning and memory [+]
Heat stress is also similar to exercise in that it boosts the production of BDNF (brain-derived
neurotrophic factor), which promotes neuroplasticity and neurogenesis (the growth of new neurons) in
areas of the brain associated with learning, long-term memory, and executive function.
This – together with the effects of heat shock proteins and improved blood circulation to the brain –
may explain why frequent sauna users experience significantly lower risks of age-related
neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Parkinson’s.
Brain health and cognitive performance
Mental and emotional health
Increases BDNF and endorphins and reduces cortisol, providing relief from anxiety and depression [+]
BDNF also helps to ameliorate anxiety and depression. In addition, sauna use has also been shown to
significantly increase the production of endorphins, which help to boost and regulate mood, and also
help with pain management. Studies also show that sauna use can significantly reduce the symptoms of
mood disorders like depression– with results being felt after just one week of treatment and lasting for
six weeks after.
Whole body thermotherapy has also been shown to reduce stress, with studies finding that as little as 20
minutes of thermotherapy leads to significant lowering of serum cortisol levels.
Mental health and emotional wellbeing
Dose-dependent
The more frequently you sauna, the more the benefits accumulate! [+]
Studies show that the benefits from 4-7 sauna sessions a week were greater than 2-3 sessions a week,
which was in turn greater than just once a week. This suggests that the benefits of sauna use are
dose-dependent – that is, the more you sauna, the more the benefits accumulate!
