    Top Saunas & Cold Plunges in Miami

    The best saunas, cold plunges, and contrast therapy spots in Miami — from the largest authentic Turkish hammam in the US to a Belle Isle bathhouse with an arctic plunge on Biscayne Bay. Curated by TempRx, because the dose matters.

  • Contrast Therapy — Hot + Cold Together

    Contrast Therapy — Hot + Cold Together

    TempRx Series | Part 11 of 12 So far, we’ve treated heat and cold as separate interventions. Sauna for cellular repair and cardiovascular health. Cold for neurochemical activation and metabolic boost. But what if you did both? Contrast therapy — alternating between hot and cold — isn’t a modern biohack. It’s ancient practice. Roman baths…

  • BDNF & Mental Clarity — Cold for Your Brain

    BDNF & Mental Clarity — Cold for Your Brain

    TempRx Series | Part 10 of 12 We’ve talked about cold shock proteins. We’ve covered the norepinephrine spike. We’ve explored brown fat activation. But there’s another reason to embrace cold that doesn’t get enough attention: what it does for your brain. Cold exposure doesn’t just wake you up in the moment. It triggers changes in…

  • Cardio Load & Heart Health — Heat as Exercise

    Cardio Load & Heart Health — Heat as Exercise

    TempRx Series | Part 9 of 12 Here’s something that surprises people: sitting in a hot room can train your cardiovascular system. Not as a replacement for exercise.

Or can I just turn my shower to cold? The internet is divided. Biohackers insist you need a dedicated tub at precisely…

    Steam Rooms & Hot Tubs — Do They Count?

    TempRx Series | Part 7 of 12 You’ve read about Finnish saunas. The 185°F temperatures. The 20-year mortality data. The gold standard. Then you look at what you actually have access to: a steam room at your gym that hovers around 115°F. A hot tub at the hotel that maxes out at 104°F. Maybe an…

  • Heat Shock Proteins — What They Are and Why They Matter

    Heat Shock Proteins — What They Are and Why They Matter

    TempRx Series | Part 2 of 12 You’ve heard the term. Maybe from a podcast, maybe from that guy at your gym who times his sauna sessions with a stopwatch. Heat shock proteins. It sounds technical. Scientific. The kind of thing you nod along to without really understanding. But here’s the thing — heat shock…

  • Why Temperature is Medicine

    Why Temperature is Medicine

    TempRx Series | Part 1 of 12 You already know exercise is good for you. Sleep too. Maybe you’ve even accepted that vegetables aren’t optional. But temperature? Most people think of heat and cold as things to avoid. We climate-control our homes, our cars, our offices. We’ve engineered discomfort out of daily life. Which is…
