Joe Rogan Sauna: What’s the Hype All About?

1. What temperature is Joe Rogan’s sauna?

Oh, the suspense! The internet desperately wants to know how hot Joe likes it. But listen, folks—there’s no need to obsess over Joe’s thermometer. The optimal temperature for a proper sauna experience is between 70-80°C (158-176°F). If Joe cranks it up to 100°C, well, good for him! But the magic of sauna isn’t about chasing extreme heat—it’s about enjoying the warmth, the sweat, and the blissful relaxation that follows.

2. Does Joe Rogan use infrared or a traditional sauna?

The real question should be: Does it even matter? But since you asked, let’s set the record straight. Infrared saunas are trendy and have their benefits, but they don’t hold a candle to the real deal. The Finnish sauna tradition is built around traditional wood-fired or electric saunas, where you throw water onto hot stones to create löyly, the sacred steam that defines the true sauna experience.

The sound of the stove crackling, the feeling of löyly embracing your skin, the moment of pure release as you sweat out all the stress of the day—that’s what sauna is about. So whether Joe recommends infrared or traditional, our answer remains the same: Traditional sauna wins. Every. Single. Time.

3. What kind of sauna does Joe Rogan recommend?

We don’t know, and honestly, we don’t need to know. Sauna isn’t about celebrity endorsements—it’s about a centuries-old tradition rooted in relaxation, social connection, and overall well-being. If you need a recommendation, we’ll gladly give you one: Find yourself a proper traditional sauna, heat it up, throw some water on the stones, and thank us later.

And if you’re curious about how this tradition began, dive into the history of sauna—it goes way beyond podcasts and protein shakes.

4. How long does Joe Rogan do sauna?

Whoever you are, reading this—don’t do what Joe does. Do what feels right for you.

The right amount of time in the sauna depends on the heat level, your body’s tolerance, and how you’re feeling that day. If you start feeling dizzy, dehydrated, or uncomfortably hot—get out, cool down, and hydrate. An average sauna session can last anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes. On a nice summer day, running straight from the sauna to the lake and back, you can keep going for an hour or two. But remember, sauna isn’t a competition. It’s about peace, calm, and feeling good.

It’s also worth noting that regular sauna use has been linked to various health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health and reduced risk of stroke. Don’t just take our word for it—check out this study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings for more.
