The latest developments in sauna technology, and user experience

In this episode of Fit For My Age, host Michael Millward explores far‑infrared therapy with Phillip Wilson, President of the Relax Sauna Company. They start talking about saunas but quickly deep dive into energy, wavelength science, hyperthermia, and the body’s innate ability to heal.

Phillip was selling massage tools and nutritional products when he discovered home saunas. He later found, the specialised far‑infrared technology behind the Relax Sauna. After over 150,000 user demons, Phillip knows how to explain why this sauna feels so different to alternatives.

You will learn:

• Why far‑infrared light is unique,
• Why the Relax Sauna uses a semiconductor‑based system to generate the exact micron wavelength that resonates with human tissue.
• About the 10 years spent building the technology.
• How far‑infrared energy works inside the body,
• How vibration creates internal heat, and health benefits.”
• Why users experience is deeply relaxing, grounding, and even spiritual.
• How far‑infrared saunas differ from traditional heat‑based saunas, and why some people prefer the gentle internal warmth over the intense external heat of steam rooms or Finnish saunas.
• Practical considerations, including hydration, electrolyte balance, and how people with high or low blood pressure should approach sauna use safely.

Phillip’s enthusiasm is infectious, and his explanations blend science, personal experience, and cultural history—from Japanese healing spas to Native American sweat lodges. Whether you’re curious about sauna therapy, new wellness tools, or simply exploring alternative approaches to relaxation and recovery, this episode offers a fascinating perspective on how heat, light, and energy can support wellbeing.
