1072. Biohacks that BACKFIRE: Saunas, Cold Plunges, and Why the Joe Rogan Method May Not Be for Everyone w/ the Heal Squad Roundtable

Hey, Heal Squad! This week’s Roundtable is turning the temperature up (and way down) as they dive into the wellness world’s favorite trends: cold plunges and saunas. Are they really the ultimate healing tools—or are we just copying viral biohacks that don’t fit our unique bodies? We’re breaking down what everyone’s talking about: the “Joe Rogan Method” of 39°F cold plunging with methylene blue. Is it effective? Dr. Allison shares why context, mitochondrial health, and even your ancestral DNA play a huge role in how your body responds to cold. We also explore sauna detox strategies and the truth about why sweating isn’t always as simple as it seems. PLUS, Maria opens up about her own experience with cryotherapy and why she stopped cold plunging after expert advice. (P.S. there’s a better, gentler way to build resilience that doesn’t involve shocking your system into stress) Tune in!! -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership  My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off HEADLINES & RESOURCES Sauna Clip: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHW4XJmIlef/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D  Jack Kruse on Heal Squad: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/805-unraveling-the-medical-matrix-with-dr-jack-kruse/id1320060107?i=1000642475475  Jack Kruse Book: https://www.amazon.com/Epi-paleo-Rx-Prescription-Disease-Reversal/dp/0989057739 ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
