At the end of his college career Bryan looked fine.
If you met him and spoke to him, he sounded fine.
But on the inside he didn’t feel fine at all.
He was anxious, he had negativity and all the classical symptoms that people with adrenal burnout and adrenal fatigue have.
He was suffering from acute acne on his torso and had serious sleep issues.
He’d lay his head on his pillow
at night and soon as he switched the light out his mind would start racing and then he’d toss and turn to the point of exhaustion.
Not surprisingly he was suffering from very low energy.
He explains, ‘your body just get’s too stressed out. There’s toxins and toxic load and stress, and you’re not
dealing with it as an ancestral human would’ .
All these things bothered Bryan, they were eating away at him even though to all outside appearances, he was fine.
He consulted various medical doctors they wanted to give him Accutane and other pharmaceutical drugs to remove his
symptoms.
But he just didn’t go with that logic at all.
“It didn’t make sense to me at all. I wanted to solve the problem and solve the issue.”
He turned to Google for the answer and he kept
coming back to toxicity and sauna.
“Could it be a coincidence that every human culture on Earth had a sauna tradition?”
He consulted a couple of alternative health advisors and they came to the same conclusion.
“OK, I’ll buy into this concept of toxicity. I need a detox.”
He found an old doctor’s book, by Dr. Lawrence Wilson, a sauna therapy book with instructions on how to build a homemade sauna using a very old concept that goes all the way back to Dr. Kellogg 100 years ago.
It was also a sauna that he could build himself.
And that’s what he did, he built his own infra red sauna.
He started doing some infra red sauna sessions right before bed each night.
In three sessions his insomnia was basically gone.
Even after the first session it was dramatically improved.
“Whoa, this is amazing.”
Subsequently, with disciplined use over a six to seven month period, doing 30-40 minute infra red sauna sessions, four to five times a week doing powerful passive sweating, all of his health problems eventually subsided.
And that’s how it all started.
He made one or two sauna’s for some friends and family and it slowly snowballed.
What started with just a couple hundred bucks and a goofy idea to help friends has now grown into a fully-fledged business, with 18 employees.
