Join us as we welcome bestselling author and science journalist Bill Gifford for a provocative talk based on his new book, “Hotwired,” in which he challenges what we think we know about heat, discomfort and human performance. Gifford will share how heat can make us healthier, stronger, more resilient and even happier.
In this program, you’ll discover how practices like sauna and heat adaptation can boost longevity, mental health, and physical performance, and why short-term discomfort may be one of our most underused tools for enhancing long-term well-being. We were born to sweat. Come find out why it makes us stronger.
After the talk, enjoy light refreshments and explore what the Vail Health Behavioral Health Innovation Center, Vail Healthspan and local providers have to offer.
