Using your sauna

  1. 9.1 Your first sessionHow to take your first session conservatively — what to do before, during, and after, plus what to expect.
  2. 9.2 Beginner protocolFrequency, duration, temperature, and löyly recommendations for your first 4 weeks. The goal is heat acclimatization, not duration or temperature.
  3. 9.3 Intermediate protocolAfter 4 weeks of regular use, you've adapted to the heat. Step up to longer sessions, higher temperatures, and light löyly.
  4. 9.4 Advanced protocolAfter 12 weeks of regular use — the protocol that mirrors what longevity research shows the strongest effects from.
  5. 9.5 Hydration before, during, and afterThe single most important habit for safe and effective sauna use — exact volumes for each phase, plus signs of dehydration.
  6. 9.6 Contrast therapyThe hot-cold cycle: 15-20 min sauna → 1-3 min cold (60°F shower or 50°F plunge) → 5-10 min rest, repeat 2-3x.
  7. 9.7 Pre-session and post-session timingWhat to do (and not do) in the hours around a sauna session — meals, alcohol, exercise, and sleep.
  8. 9.8 What to wearComfortable options range from nothing to loose cotton. Always sit on a small towel.
  9. 9.9 Using the lightingThree lighting modes (bright, mid, low) and when to use each. Keep the remote outside the cabin.
  10. 9.10 Multi-user etiquette and shared sessionsSix practices that keep shared sauna sessions comfortable for everyone — temperature agreement, löyly courtesy, towel rule, and watching for overheating.
