Sauna Talk is a show about the authentic sauna experience. Recorded (often) on the sauna bench, we talk with interesting guests about sauna including such aspects as building sauna, enjoying sauna, and health and wellness benefits to sauna. The rising sauna tide is lifting many boats and we look forward to some left turns that we hope to keep listeners on and off the more enjoyable and less trampled authentic sauna trail.

Today on Sauna Talk, we connect with Earric Lee.

This conversation was recorded in London, just outside the British Sauna Summit—so you’ll hear a bit of the city in the background as we talk.

Earric is a researcher focused on the health benefits of sauna and a fellow board member of the Sauna Research Institute. His work centers on helping bring greater coordination and visibility to sauna research worldwide.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • The current state of sauna research

  • Why much of the science remains fragmented

  • The need to “de-silo” researchers across countries and disciplines

  • How stronger collaboration could help advance understanding of sauna’s health benefits

Earric shares his perspective on what’s needed to move sauna research forward—and why this moment feels important.

For many of us, the benefits of sauna are something we’ve experienced firsthand. The challenge now is helping science catch up, organize, and communicate those benefits more clearly.

From the streets of London, please welcome Earric Lee to Sauna Talk.
