Dr. Jonathan Leary: Are Cold Plunge & Sauna Clubs The Future of Wellness Communities? | TUH #181

About this video

Brecka interviews Dr. Jonathan Leary, founder of Remedy Place, about building social wellness clubs centered on ice baths, sauna and other modalities as an alternative to alcohol-based socializing. Leary recounts planning the business through chiropractic school, argues isolation is accelerating poor health, and says corporate teams should be treated like sports teams. Both men present connection, community and foundational lifestyle pillars — eating, moving and managing thoughts — as more important than any single club or technology.

Key takeaways

• Leary argues human connection is, in his view, plummeting and driving worse health
• Leary presents social wellness clubs as an alternative to drinking-centered social life
• Leary claims foundational health pillars are simple and do not require a club membership
• Brecka and Leary argue employers should invest in team health as they would in athletes
