Ep 27: Infrared Saunas & Menopause

Struggling with perimenopause and menopause weight loss, hormonal belly fat, or cortisol that won't budge? Your infrared sauna might be part of the answer — but only if you're using the right type.

Most women don't know there are three types of infrared and they do completely different things in the body. In this episode, naturopath and metabolic health specialist Carly Gallagher breaks down the science of infrared sauna therapy specifically for women in perimenopause and menopause — what the research actually shows, how it fits into a complete metabolic health strategy, and everything you need to know before buying one in Australia.

This is the infrared sauna episode for women over 40 that no one else is making.

→ Near, mid & far infrared — what each one actually does for your hormones and metabolism

→ Why most saunas are far-infrared only and what you're missing without near-infrared

→ How infrared sauna use lowers cortisol, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports fat metabolism in women over 40

→ Why the sauna belongs on rest days — not as a cardio replacement — and how this fits the Inner Alchemy framework

→ The 5 detox pathways (liver, kidneys, lungs, lymphatics, skin) and why activating all of them matters

→ The acclimation window — why you may not sweat for the first few sessions and what shifts after that

→ Cold plunges after sauna: why Carly isn't recommending them for perimenopause and menopause

→ What specs to look for when buying an infrared sauna in Australia

→ Australian sauna brands compared: Nook, Clearlight, Innerlight, Hyper Wellbeing, Mysa, Rejuvenex

→ Near-infrared panels and wraps — the portable option if you already own a far-infrared saun
