Our Detox Pod provides holistic, whole-body treatments to relax, cleanse, balance and detoxify. Using LED Light and infrared heat therapy it treats weight loss, skin improvement, pain relief, sleep/insomnia, energy, immune boost and improves overall health and wellbeing.
Infrared sauna therapy will help you lose weight by recalibrating the internal network of your body to heal endocrine system malfunctions, increase the conversion rate of fatty tissue to lean muscle, burn calories, and detoxify the body.
You will learn the mechanism and function of the infrared spectrum of light as it dynamically interfaces with your body. Within weeks you will be astonished by the unparalleled results infrared sauna therapy has on your body composition. Finally, the myth that weight loss occurs with sauna therapy only as a result of water loss through sweat can be disproved. In fact, the entire physiological system is involved and affected by the infrared spectrum. In this article you will come to understand, through the lens of science, the profound impact that these wavelengths of light have on your ability to lose weight and keep it off!
Heat therapy of all kinds stimulates the secretion of Human Growth Hormones (HGH). Human Growth Hormones are anabolic hormones that simultaneously increase lean muscle mass and decrease fatty tissue in the body.
As the internal heat of the body raises, biochemical reactions are dramatic at the molecular level, this thermal transformation activates Human Growth Hormones. Infrared saunas are more efficient at raising the core temperature of the body than any other heat therapy modality and therefore increase the production of Human Growth Hormones, responsible for the conversion of fatty tissue to muscle, at faster rates.
The radiant heat of the infrared rays penetrates the initial layer of epidermis all the way into the soft tissue of the body. The intensity of this process means that the external temperature of the infrared sauna can be much lower than a traditional sauna, and therefore more comfortable. Additionally, the internal temperature of the body will be higher and will thus excrete Human Growth Hormones during shorter sauna sessions (5).
Through the process of increased Human Growth Hormones, infrared saunas will assist you in transitioning your body composition by changing the muscle to fat ratio in the body to give you a leaner and more sculpted physique.
"Far-infrared energy deeply penetrates the skin and warms the muscles and joints,” says Dr. Joseph Mercola. The radiation penetrates deep into the body and while it gets our hearts to beat faster, it helps us burn calories, while raising your metabolism.
If a 150-lb person usually burns around 300 calories jogging or swimming for 30 minutes, the infrared sauna promises to help get rid of 400-600 calories in a one 30 minute session, according to Dr. Masakazu Imamura, MD study, published in the Journal of American College of Cardiology in 2021.
So, instead of running 2-3 miles, just sit back and relax in a cozy infrared sauna, but make sure to have water to drink once you get out as you sweat a lot as well during this time, warns Dr. Richard Beever BSc, MD, CCFP in his study published in the Canadian Journal of Diabetes 2010.
