Heat acclimation through sauna use can provide positive effects associated with IGF-1 without the risks of high growth hormone levels.

“Deliberate sauna use ramps up pathways crucial for muscle growth, more so when combined with resistance training. This suggests a potential synergistic effect for muscle hypertrophy.”

“heat acclamation through sauna use a term that I call hypothermic conditioning can help achieve and give you many of those positive effects associated with igf-1 without the risk of high levels of growth hormone or Supra physiological levels of growth hormone that's associated with growth hormone therapy”

“the third way in which heat acclamation can promote muscle growth is by improving insulin sensitivity insulin is anabolic because it decreases protein degradation much like heat shock proteins and growth hormone”

“it's been shown to improve muscle hypertrophy by the by preventing protein degradation and thereby causing a net increase in protein synthesis from the following three mechanisms one by inducing the expression of heat chock proteins which also are induced from a hormetic response that has been shown to improve longevity in lower organisms secondly by increasing the release of growth hormone and thirdly by improving insulin sensitivity”

“there are three ways that being heat acclimated can increase muscle hypertrophy first is through the induction of heat chock proteins second is by boosting growth hormone levels and third is by improving insulin sensitivity”

“the sauna hypothermia from sauna bathing can increase the expression of growth hormone and actually increases lean muscle mass and prevents muscle atrophy so what does that mean it means when you're eating 30% less food when you're fasting instead of losing muscle you'll lose fat”
