Using sauna sessions as a stress-lowering protocol, typically with repeated bouts of high heat followed by short cool-down breaks. The goal is to reduce cortisol and promote relaxation by pairing intense heat exposure with recovery intervals.

“They had these men attend four sauna sessions of 12 minutes each... The temperature of those saunas was 90 to 91 degrees Celsius... Afterwards, they had a six minute cool down break during which they did get into some cool water or cold water of about 10 degrees... That had a very significant effect on lowering cortisol.”
