Infrared Sauna Therapy - Weight Loss & Body Composition

It is crucial that every individual man/women spends time in parasympathetic dominance. But perhaps the most demanding times are leading into winter (where are resistance to bugs needs to be top notch), in heavy training and high perceived stress periods and in peri-menopause and menopause, because these are predominantly times that invite the body to hang in survival mode.
