In late 2019, Kevin MacDonald noticed that his twin 16-year-olds, Allie and Lexi, seemed sad and uninterested in schoolwork. He decided to buy an infrared sauna for the family after seeing research on the potential mental health benefits.

As more adults have been incorporating saunas, cold plunges and other hot and cold therapies into their wellness routines, increasingly, they're encouraging their kids to do the same.
