Sauna / heat-exposure protocol audit + progression — telehealth / national.

Regular sauna use is associated with markedly lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in one of the largest sauna cohorts (KIHD, observational — 4-7 sessions a week; no RCT mortality evidence exists) — yet most people who have sauna access use it sporadically and unsafely (no hydration, no cool-down, sometimes with alcohol). A coached frequency-duration audit turns it into a deliberate, contraindication-screened practice.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

contraindication screen + current frequency/duration/temperature log + a conservative progression plan with hydration and cool-down, framed as a wellness goal not a prescription

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• sauna access log (sessions/week, minutes, temperature)
• hydration plan / water
• a contraindication screen (PAR-Q+ or clinician clearance note)
• clock/timer
• heart-rate monitor (optional, to observe response)

Steps

1. 1. Screen for contraindications FIRST: unstable/recent cardiovascular event, aortic stenosis, uncontrolled hypotension, pregnancy, or symptoms (chest pain, syncope). Anyone flagged is routed to a clinician for clearance before any progression — do not proceed.
2. 2. Record the current pattern: sessions per week, minutes per session, temperature, and whether hydration and a full cool-down are part of the routine.
3. 3. Compare to the observational benefit range (KIHD: building toward ~4+ sessions/week, ~15-20 min at comfortable tolerance) and note the gap as a coached goal, not a prescription.
4. 4. Set a conservative progression — start shorter/cooler, add duration before frequency — with hydration before and after, a full cool-down, and an explicit no-alcohol rule.
5. 5. If a session is observed, watch tolerance (no dizziness/nausea/near-faint) and log the heart-rate response if a monitor is used.
6. 6. Record the log, the target gap, the progression plan, and the contraindication-screen result; sign. Route any red flag to a clinician.

What counts as done

• Completed contraindication screen (cleared, or routed to a clinician)
• Current pattern logged: sessions/week, minutes/session, temperature, hydration + cool-down present
• A conservative progression plan (build time before frequency) with hydration and full cool-down, and the no-alcohol rule
• Any symptom/red flag routed to a clinician

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
