Ever felt the power of a cold shower on your soul? Ponder over this as you join us for an enriching hour with Andrew Lachlan, CEO and founder of Sauna House. Andrew, once an athlete, narrates his struggles with alcoholism after his athletic career ended. In this raw, personal narrative, he shares his journey to sobriety and how breathwork and meditation became his saviors. The conversation also sheds light on the overlooked facet of recovery for athletes, and how cold water therapy was instrumental in his journey.
If you thought your phone was your best friend, this episode might make you think again. We, along with Andrew, dive into the lost art of communal bathing. A practice rooted in human history, it has been overshadowed by technology, but still holds the promise to provide us with a sense of accomplishment and connection. Together, we navigate how to safeguard our hearts and minds from the constant digital noise and stay truly present.
As we wrap up, we illuminate the mission behind Sauna House. Andrew's vision is to alleviate human suffering and he aims to do this by providing access to communal bathing spaces. We explore the magic of natural healing, the potency of weight training, endurance training, and the marvels of cold therapy. Embrace the power of endurance, natural healing, and most importantly, a cold shower for the soul. Be prepared to shift your perspective and challenge yourself in ways you never imagined.
