HORMESIS

The art of using controlled stress to make the body stronger.

TEMPERATURE IS INFORMATION

Every time your body is exposed to heat or cold, your nervous system receives a signal.

Heat signals expansion.
Cold signals contraction.

When you alternate between extreme heat and cold, you force your circulation to work. Blood vessels dilate and constrict. It's gymnastics for your internal systems.

These temperature changes train:

• Your circuit
• Your mitochondria
• Your stress resilience
• Your ability to regulate the nervous system

At Lumé Heat, we consciously work with temperature as a biological stimulus.

Saunagus is aimed at stimulating the body's adaptability.

HYPERTHERMAL TRAINING


When your core temperature rises, your body mimics a fever. This activates repair processes in the cells and reduces inflammation. It's passive cardio training.


Heat stimulates the production of Heat Shock Proteins. These proteins:


• Repairs damaged cells

• Stabilizes proteins

• Reduces inflammation

• Improves cellular resilience


Regular sauna use has been associated in studies with:

• Better circulation

• Lower risk of cardiovascular disease

• Increased recovery

It is passive circulatory training.

Your heart is working. Your blood vessels are dilating. Your system is learning to handle stress.


Lumé Heat is for those of you looking for a sauna in Rødovre or a sauna in Copenhagen.

Cold shock

When you step into 0 to 5 degrees cold water, a primitive response is activated.

The cold shock causes the blood vessels to constrict.
Breathing changes.
Adrenaline and noradrenaline increase significantly.

Dopamine levels can increase by up to 250 percent.

The result:

• Mental clarity
• Improved focus
• Increased alertness
• Better mood

Cold also activates brown adipose tissue, which increases metabolic activity and insulin sensitivity.

Ice baths are not self-torture.
It is biological stimulation.

THE AUTONOMOUS NERVOUS SYSTEM

Your body is constantly switching between two states:

1) Sympathetic
Action, pressure, activation

2) Parasympathetic
Recovery, digestion, repair

Today's modern lifestyle keeps many people stuck in a chronic sympathetic state.

Contrast between sauna and ice bath trains the flexibility of your nervous system.

You will learn to:

• Activate

• Regulate

• Calm down again

Here the breath is the bridge.

That's why we guide you in conscious breathing during cold and heat.

TEMPERATURE AND CIRCULAR RHYTHM

Core temperature controls your wakefulness and sleep.


It naturally rises in the morning.

It falls in the evening before sleep.


Sauna in the evening is followed by a drop in temperature, which can amplify the body's natural fatigue signal.


Cold in the morning can increase alertness and cortisol response.


By working with temperature, you support your circadian rhythm instead of opposing it.


This is central to biological optimization.
