If You Golf, You Need a Sauna

Golf courses may look beautiful, but the pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers used to keep them green can build up in your body over time — especially if you golf often or live nearby. In this video, we talk about the risks, the data, and how sauna use can be a tool to help your body offload these toxins.

We’ll cover the “Parkinson’s Belt,” how wind can carry chemicals into surrounding areas, and why an infrared sauna regimen can help reduce the toxic load stored in fat tissue. You don’t have to give up golf to take care of your health — but you can use sauna as part of your long-term wellness strategy.

We actually had a person reach out to us that golfs very consistently, and they read a statistic that there’s higher levels of cancer, and you have a higher level of pesticides and just crap in your system if you golf one time a week or more. Now, I need to do some research on those statistics, but regardless, it makes sense because of all the pesticides and all the stuff that they put on those fields.

I mean, they would be a good candidate for using Sonic consistently, right? Very much, yeah. There’s actually some data to support exactly what you’re talking about, especially with certain insecticides, fungicides, herbicides. There’s fertilizers.

There’s all kinds of other stuff that we could get into. ♪♪ ♪♪ If they golf once a week, they golf on Sundays, they go out, they golf. Is there an amount they should sauna? Is there a danger to not saunaing?

How could it help them out? What is the reason they should? I feel like a lot of people golf, and a lot of people don’t understand how much junk is on that grass. Yeah, I mean, on one hand, I would love to talk about this.

On the other hand, I don’t really want to scare the heck out of people unnecessarily. I think sauna is a great tool to help the body remove certain pesticides. Those come out easily through the skin, unlike heavy metals that usually still require organ processing. Some of the compounds that are stored in our fat cells are more difficult to eliminate than others.

But we could touch on a couple of these things and provide some resources where people can go and do a little research and kind of come to their own conclusions. Obviously, we’re not doctors or research scientists, but I can’t help but avoid seeing the articles on what’s called the Parkinson’s Belt.

The Parkinson’s Belt is an area where, and there’s also some controversial studies too, right? People that live near golf courses are supposedly at higher risk for developing.

Parkinson’s and when you listen to traditional journalism and Western medicine, they don’t necessarily talk about how living there gives you exposure to micronized amounts of all these compounds that you’re talking about over a long duration of time, right? So it has a chance. It’s not like you just go to a golf course one day and then all of a sudden you get sick.

So that’s like the, the, the fear part that I think the journalists kind of take it out to take off and run with, but it doesn’t really do any service to anybody because we’re not really understanding like what’s happening here. So when you live near a golf course, if you really break it down, they’re using aerosol sprays out of backpack sprayers and different types of tractor equipment and stuff like that.

Just like the Monsanto stuff and using Roundup in farming crops around the corner from each other. You know how the, the vapors end up in those other crops where they don’t spray with those because of the wind. It’s the same exact thing. It’s the same principle.

When you live near one of these, you know, golf courses you’re getting minute amounts of that blown towards your house. So when you sit outside and you have coffee or you do this or you do that. So somebody that plays golf versus somebody who lives on a golf course is kind of different to me.

It’s, it’s exactly like we talk about with EMF. You’re, what’s your exposure limit? Like I’m way more worried about the some crazy levels of EMF in my bed bedroom that I’m exposed to for eight plus hours a night. Then I am testing a high EMF sauna to make videos for you for a week.

You don’t need. So I think there’s some situational environmental pieces in there that folks should be aware of before. Just, you know, we produce this stuff and it’s like, Oh, you’re going to die if you live next to a golf course. But I think what you’re getting at is, you know, does infrared sauna have the ability to help people that golf or live near golf courses?

I think the answer is yes. Because if you look at some of these articles, I mean, just

look at them. People living within a mile of a golf course, um, had more than twice the odds of Parkinson’s. Yeah. The risk remain higher for people living up to three miles away, but it fades after that.

That’s why I talk about the air movement and stuff like that. Pesticides, you know, including neurotoxins used to keep the greens and fairways groomed have been linked to, you know, causing issues like this. So if you have a tool in your arsenal or at your home that you can use a couple times a week to try and help your body get rid of these things, I think puts you in the head of, you know, way ahead of the game for the next 10 years.

I don’t think people should just stop golfing and stuff for, you can’t live your life out of fear, right? No, absolutely. Yeah. If you live near a golf course within a three mile radius or something like that, I think it’s a really good idea to maintain your infrared sauna regimen, you know, over the course of five to 10 years, it’ll give your body the ability to offload some of those things that typically get stored in the adipose tissue.

And I, this is my personal opinion, not doctor or research opinion. I think what’s left out of some of these articles and studies is that it’s a buildup in the adipose tissue of these compounds to a point where degradation occurs and there’s a break in the chain of some type of body system.

That’s, that’s what initiates a lot of these, you know, diseases. And we can’t say that, you know, some supplement or some health device or some hot box is going to like cure that. But if you had a systemized regimen that you could do that helps the body expel those things and supports natural detoxification, you’re going to be in a much better position over the next decade than if you were to not use that tool in your toolbox.

So basically if you golf and you don’t sign up, you’re not going to go for long. Geez, Aaron. Okay. I don’t know if I would say that, but you can say that.
