What Happens to Your Body When You Turn Up the Heat?

Heat has been used therapeutically for centuries—but what actually happens inside your body when your temperature rises?

In this episode of Rethink My Health Radio, Dr. Gez Agolli and Dr. Cheryl Burdette explore the science behind heat therapy and hyperthermia, including how controlled heat can influence circulation, cellular stress responses, detoxification pathways, and the body's natural adaptive processes.

From sauna therapy to more advanced applications of hyperthermia, this conversation breaks down why heat is gaining attention in integrative medicine and how different forms of heat therapy may be incorporated into a broader, individualized approach to wellness.

You'll also learn why not all heat therapy is the same, what happens physiologically when the body is exposed to heat, and why understanding the purpose, intensity, and application matters.

In this episode:

* What hyperthermia and heat therapy actually are
* What happens to the body as temperature increases
* The relationship between heat, circulation, and cellular function
* Heat therapy and the body's stress-response mechanisms
* Sauna vs. therapeutic hyperthermia
