"Healing isn’t about levels or quick fixes; it’s about holding the frequency, elevating yourself, and embodying the work." Megan's health struggles, including rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, and food allergies, led her down a path of self-discovery and holistic healing. She didn't find the answers she needed in traditional medicine, so she embarked on a journey of self-education, diving into holistic nutrition, herbalism, and other natural modalities. Her daughter's health issues led her to work with holistic practitioners to uncover the root causes, and the entire family made changes. Through this process, the whole family made significant lifestyle changes to detoxify their home and diet. Megan's husband also faced health challenges, including ulcerative colitis. Again, Megan refused to settle for conventional treatments and explored a more holistic approach, incorporating music therapy, plant medicine, and emotional healing work.

First, let me start by saying, there's no "right or wrong way" to use your sauna and it doesn't need to be complicated. In this episode, I'm answering three common sauna-related challenges. First, I’ll break down heat-up time why some people wait longer to warm it up. Then, I’ll clear up the confusion around why red light therapy inside your sauna is beneficial. And finally, I’ll talk about a topic many sauna owners get wrong: putting an indoor sauna outside. Owning a sauna should be simple and not create more stress in your life.
