About this listen

This week on The Nutrition Couch, Leanne and Susie unpack one of the hottest wellness trends right now: saunas. Could sitting in a sauna a few times a week genuinely lower inflammation, boost recovery, and even add years to your life? The science might surprise you.

Inside the episode:

  • The research linking regular sauna use to heart health, longevity and mental wellbeing.

  • How often (and how long) you really need to sit in the sauna for maximum benefit.

  • Whether infrared saunas stack up against traditional Finnish styles.

  • Why potassium deficiency is quietly on the rise — and the simple food swaps that can protect your heart.

  • Our favourite low-sugar sparkling water swap for soft drinks.

  • Listener Q&A: Osteopenia explained — diet, supplements, and the surprising role of jump training in bone strength.

If you’ve ever thought about investing in your own sauna, now might be the time. Thanks to our friends at Elevate Saunas, you can get $250 off selected sauna models with the code LEANNE250, or 10% off full-priced saunas with the code LEANNE10. Explore their range at Elevate Saunas.
