Full Health & Performance: Client success, the benefits of sauna and joy
While regular sauna sessions appear to offer clear benefits, it's crucial to consider these in the context of other healthful habits, such as regular exercise, adequate sleep, and good nutrition.
It also seems that there is a dose-dependent effect to sauna use, i.e., something is better than nothing, and more frequent use creates a larger benefit.
Wishing you a happy, restful, and healthful midsummer (Juhannus) weekend—perhaps including a relaxing session in a hot sauna!
Life Is Curious Podcast Ep. 5 Julian Roach
My guest today is none other than Julian Roach, an experienced and well-travelled physiotherapist currently based in Toronto, Canada.
As a longterm clinical practitioner, former athlete, family man and businessman, Julian brings an interesting and deep expertise to the topic of exercise, health and performance as it pertains particular to the area of physiotherapy, but also in the context of achieving the best outcomes for a variety of different people and cases.
We discuss the influence of having lived in multiple countries and the lessons learned from experience as well as what the future may hold for physiotherapy.
How are we to live?
In Peter Singer’s book, How Are We To Live, two interesting points are made:
In order for the world we live in to sustain billions of us, we need to move on from consumption being the main source of fulfillment. I would annotate this with - move on from unsustainable consumption.
Linked to the above, once we have our basic needs met, it appears that no further level of attainment provides lasting fulfilment…in other words we adapt to the stuff we have and do not become happier the more we accumulate.
