A speaker asserts that regular sauna use substantially reduces mortality risk (roughly 30–40% with weekly use and an additional 30–40% with three-times-weekly use) and claims near-infrared (NIR) light provides deeper tissue penetration than red light—able to reach organs and neural tissue several inches into the body—making NIR particularly effective for therapy.

Chapters

If you use sauna one day a week, your risk of dying, of all things, goes down like 30 to 40%. But interestingly, if you use sauna three times a week, your risk goes down another 30 or 40%. The more you do sauna, the better. Near infrared light does the same thing. Most of the light therapy devices we see are red. But red light doesn't penetrate bone tissue. It doesn't go more than a couple inches into the body. It's the near infrared that can go four or five inches deep. You're getting the best of light therapy because you're getting the deepest penetration. So the the gut and the liver and the kidney and the brain, particularly the neural tree. Only the near infrared light is accessing.
