  • Exercise in the Heat: How Athletes and Workers Can Prevent Heat Stress Ep 106

    Exercise in the Heat: How Athletes and Workers Can Prevent Heat Stress Ep 106
    Aug 28 2025

    Heat stress affects four out of five Americans with many unaware they're experiencing it, and over a quarter don't know how to react in an emergency situation. Lexi Engelbart from Ergodyne joins us to discuss Project Heat, an educational initiative aimed at helping people recognize and respond to heat-related illnesses before they become life-threatening.

    • Heat stress is highly personal – medications, hydration, alcohol consumption, and fitness level all affect how individuals respond
    • Signs of heat-related illness progress from heat rash to heat cramps to heat exhaustion to heat stroke, with cognitive decline being a serious warning sign
    • The "taco method" (Tarp Assisted Cooling Oscillation) can save lives in remote locations by creating a makeshift ice bath
    • Acclimatization is crucial – gradually expose yourself to heat over 1-2 weeks rather than jumping straight into hot conditions
    • Cooling products range from evaporative cooling vests and sleeves to phase change technology designed for different environments
    • Proper cooling not only prevents heat illness but also improves performance by allowing better nutrient absorption
    • The time-tested formula for heat stress prevention remains "water, rest, and shade"
    • Looking out for signs of heat stress in friends, family members, and teammates can prevent serious medical emergencies

    Learn more about heat stress prevention and products at Ergodyne.com/heat-stress.

    Here's the products we discussed in the episode that Lexi recommended:
    Arm Sleeves

    Cooling Towel (their most popular item)

    Dry Condition Vest

    PVA Cooling Wet Vest
