Sauna Twins Podcast Episode #13: Dr Ant Shepherd (University of Portsmouth) | Finnmark Sauna  

Welcome to episode 13 of the Sauna Twins Podcast! In this episode we had the pleasure to sit down for a conversation with Dr. Ant Shepherd from Portsmouth University. Ant is an Associate Professor in Clinical Exercise Physiology, who has designed bespoke training programmes and runs clinical trials in a range of clinical conditions. We dive deep into the world of research in the area of heat therapy. Dr. Shepherd shares information on how sauna impacts the body, the current state of research and exciting new areas to explore. He also provides his insights on maximizing the benefits of sauna.

Here is a taste of what we discussed:  

- The current state of research in heat therapy: foundational studies and the lack of higher-level research presently 

- Different research types and their significance - Promising areas ripe for future sauna and heat therapy research

- The work of leading researchers in the area worldwide - Unveiling the science behind how heat therapy affects the body: the existing knowledge of what happens to the body when exposed to heat and specifically how this can benefit the body    

This is an eye-opening episode into the science of heat and the exploration of how saunas can benefit our health, as well as all the fine-level details that can still be covered.
