Infrared Heated Classes & Detox Pathways

We hear a lot about heated classes, but it’s important to choose your heat source wisely because different types can provide different results.

All of our heated classes incorporate Far Infrared Heated Panels which is a wavelength that heats you - not the air. This means, the heat can penetrate deeper into your muscles which can relieve muscle tension & inflammation. Far Infrared goes deepest into the body (as opposed to near or mid infrared), and is the most effective in mitigating chronic pain & supporting metal detoxification.

Infrared Heat also stirs up less dust & allergens than regular heat, so it promotes better air quality during your workouts.

Benefits of Infrared Heated Classes

-can reduce inflammation & muscle
tension
-supports detoxification
(see more below)
-aids in pain, recovery & stress relief
-may assist with fat loss & sleep
-can boost metabolism & circulation

More about heavy metal DETOX & exposure

“No person is without some level of toxic metals in their bodies, circulating and accumulating with acute and chronic lifetime exposures. … however, an often overlooked route of excretion of toxicants is via the process of sweating.

…While many chemical elements are essential for life, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury have no known beneficial effect in humans. … all four elements are confirmed or probable carcinogens, and they exhibit wide-ranging toxic effects on many bodily systems, including the nervous, endocrine, renal, musculoskeletal, immunological, and cardiovascular systems.” source

LEAD & Cadmium exposure

Lead is a toxic metal found in the air, plumbing, paint, dust, water & more. We highly recommend testing your drinking water for lead & getting an appropriate filtration system. Children are specifically susceptible to lead poisoning.

Cadmium is a metal found in many products & foods we interact with on a daily basis including batteries, cigarettes, phosphate fertilizers, chocolate, crustaceans and grains.

“Heat exercise and constant exposure to heat can be a valid method to increase the excretion of toxic metals.”
(this study specifically looked at excreting cadmium & lead from the body) source

As always, but especially when using infrared heat, it is important to stay hydrated with filtered water & eat clean, organic ingredients to fuel your body.

*always consult your doctor or health provider before any workout regimen, or infrared class
