As CEO of HOTWORX I am blessed to meet our newest franchise owners each week with our online Orientation Day Zoom Meeting. A few weeks ago I was honored to meet with two new franchisees who are brothers, and who are also medical doctors, Daryl and Craig Perlman from Long Island, New York. I asked them if they would allow me to conduct a casual Zoom interview with them to help all of us understand the benefits of 3D Training from the perspective of a medical doctor. They agreed, and I conducted the interview with them while traveling to Florida recently. I have included a clip from that video in this blog post. For those who want to take a deeper dive and hear from two well informed doctors on the subject of infrared therapy and working out, you really should take the time to watch the clip.
For our franchisees and their team members who are reading this, be sure to pay close attention to the “Doctors Corner” segment during the opening day of this year’s convention in San Antonio where I will be interviewing the brothers on stage and taking questions for them from the audience.
During the Zoom meeting on that ride to Florida I learned some really cool things about infrared energy from their perspective. For example, did you know that the skin can actually age more rapidly when exposed to the super high temperatures of a traditional convection heat sauna? Daryl pointed out the fact that higher temperatures in conventional saunas can cause thermal stress to the skin, whereby resulting in degradation of collagen and premature dermal aging. Of course, the opposite is true of the lower temperature heat from an infrared sauna which is very rejuvenating for the skin.
He also gave a deep explanation of how infrared can induce a “runner’s high” and how over time, with consistent infrared therapy, there is a breakup of protein clumps that cause the brain to age.
I also learned something very interesting about the receipts that we all receive at checkout in almost every store where we go to shop. When we use alcohol based hand sanitizers and then accept the receipt by touch at any given store, we are absorbing super unsafe levels of BPA! Fortunately, HOTWORX has never used paper receipts and has only given out receipts digitally. We did this to prevent the use of paper and to do something good for the environment, but we had no idea that we were preventing such high levels of toxic exposure to customers as well.
There’s a lot more to learn from this off-the-cuff conversation with two doctors who really know the science behind fitness and infrared.
