Research articles

  • Sauna Research

    People use sauna for well-being but its medical benefits are not widely understood or implemented within medical systems yet.

  • Sweat Research Articles

    Human sweat is a biofluid of surprising complexity in health and disease. New knowledge around sweat content is growing from research using metabolomics, the multidisciplinary laboratory science of measuring and analyzing low molecular weight metabolites (such as electrolytes, sugars, lipids and other compounds).

  • Evaluating Lifestyle as Medicine

    More studies are needed comparing the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions side-by-side with conventional care (generally pharmaceutical medications) for a variety of common chronic medical conditions such as hypertension, heart failure and different types of arthritis.
