Are You Sweatproof?

And.. stinky proof as well.

For years, I lived a life most runners dream of: marathon finishes with dry clothes, triathlon transitions without a single bead of sweat in sight. No embarrassing sweat patches, no post-workout stench- it was pretty cool! Or so I thought. Turns out, my sweatproof superpower was really a red flag that my drainage pathways were “backed up.”

The truth? Not sweating is NOT a blessing – it's a signal that your body is imbalanced. Those tiny droplets aren't just an inconvenience; they are nature's way of whispering, "Hey, your drainage pathways are clogged! Listen up!"

Why is this so important?

Sweat isn't just about avoiding stench. It's our body's built-in detoxification system, a vital tool for:

• Flushing out toxins: From heavy metals to stress hormones, sweat acts as a natural filter.

• Boosting the immune system: As we sweat, white blood cells are drawn to the skin, ready to fight off invaders.

• Protecting the heart: Healthy sweating improves circulation, strengthening our cardiovascular system.

• Promoting healthy skin: Sweat acts as a prebiotic, nourishing beneficial bacteria on our skin, keeping it healthy and glowing aka… the golden glow.

• Lowering stress: That post-workout calm isn't just from endorphins; sweating activates the parasympathetic nervous system, our relaxation response.

Do you find yourself wondering:

• Why am I not sweating during workouts?

• Is it possible to "train" my body to sweat again?

• Are there natural ways to encourage healthy sweating?

Here are some of my top strategies to get your sweat on:

• Herbal teas: Certain herbal teas, such as red clover, burdock root, stinging nettle, echinacea, dandelion root, and calendula, can help to promote sweating and lymphatic drainage. When lymphatic drainage is clogged, lymph nodes will become swollen, and lymph outflow slows, leading to an impaired immune system and reduced clearance of waste products. These herbs are regarded as blood purifiers because they have the ability to move lymph and proteins away from areas of inflammation so oxygen and nutrient rich lymph can replace it.

• Castor oil packs: Castor oil (I love Queen of Thrones) packs have been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. When it is placed on the liver it stimulates not only your lymphatic system but also supports liver function to facilitate the removal of toxins. When our liver and lymph are congested this can lead to inflammation, which is often the underlying root cause of many diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, cancers, and GI imbalances.

  According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, “A growing body of evidence reveals that the lymphatic system influences the health of multiple organs, including the heart, lung, and brain.”

• Infrared Saunas: Infrared saunas go beyond the traditional sauna experience, unlocking benefits that include: anti-aging, detoxifying, and pain-relieving benefits that leave you with that golden glow. But it's not just about feeling good in the moment - this ancient practice, modernized by technology, offers long-term advantages:

  • Boost your immune system: Studies suggest regular sauna use can increase white blood cell count, your body's frontline defense against illness.

  • An anti-aging ally: Increased sweating helps eliminate toxins that contribute to premature aging, leaving your skin looking younger and healthier.

  • Improve muscle recovery and joint support: Athletes swear by saunas to ease muscle soreness and stiffness, while the heat improves circulation, aiding in joint health.

  • Reduce pain and inflammation: Chronic pain sufferers often find relief through sauna therapy, thanks to its ability to promote circulation and reduce inflammation.

  • Activate the parasympathetic system: Say goodbye to stress! The warmth and gentle heat can reduce tension, leaving you feeling calm and rejuvenated.

• Exercise daily: Forget forcing yourself onto the treadmill! Let's talk about making exercise so enjoyable, you won't even realize you're breaking a sweat (well, maybe just a little ). Find an exercise routine that you enjoy, such as walking, swimming, biking, dancing, pickle ball or yoga. Grab a friend and walk or run together, take a dancing class, join a pickle ball league- the possibilities are endless. Trying something new: Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone! You never know what hidden gem you might discover.

  Remember consistency is key and listen to your body, have fun, and embrace the sweat!
