Weight Loss with Infrared
Discover the science-backed approach to healthy weight loss through infrared sauna therapy. From celebrity urban sweat lodge sessions to your home wellness routine, infrared technology supports natural fat burning, metabolism boost, and sustainable weight management.
The Science of Infrared Weight Loss
Infrared sauna therapy offers a unique approach to weight loss that goes beyond traditional methods. By using far-infrared heat technology, similar to what made the urban sweat lodge famous among celebrities like Selena Gomez, infrared therapy works at the cellular level to support your body’s natural fat-burning processes.
Unlike conventional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas penetrate directly into your body tissue, raising your core temperature and activating a range of metabolic processes that support healthy weight loss and overall wellness.

How Infrared Burns Calories
Infrared sauna therapy creates a passive cardiovascular workout for your body. As your core temperature rises, your heart rate increases to help cool your body, similar to the cardiovascular response during moderate exercise.
Increased Heart Rate
Your heart rate can increase by 50-75 beats per minute, similar to moderate exercise, burning calories even while resting.
Enhanced Circulation
Improved blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients more efficiently, supporting fat metabolism throughout your body.
Thermogenesis
Your body burns energy to regulate temperature, creating additional calorie expenditure beyond your normal metabolic rate.

Metabolism Boost Benefits
Regular infrared sauna use can help optimise your metabolic function, creating lasting benefits that extend well beyond your therapy sessions. This metabolic enhancement was a key factor in the success of the original urban sweat lodge approach to wellness.
Cellular Energy Production
Infrared heat stimulates mitochondrial function within your cells, enhancing energy production and improving your body’s ability to burn fat efficiently. This cellular optimisation supports both immediate calorie burning and long-term metabolic health.
Improved Insulin Sensitivity
Regular infrared therapy may help improve how your body processes glucose, supporting better blood sugar control and reducing fat storage. This metabolic improvement is crucial for sustainable weight management.
Enhanced Fat Oxidation
The deep heating effect of infrared therapy can help your body become more efficient at using stored fat as fuel, particularly when combined with proper nutrition and regular physical activity.
Healthy Weight Management Approach
At The Shape House, we believe in a holistic approach to weight loss that complements, rather than replaces, healthy lifestyle choices. Infrared therapy works best as part of a comprehensive wellness routine.
Supporting Your Journey
Infrared sauna therapy can enhance your weight loss efforts by increasing calorie burn, reducing water retention, improving recovery from exercise, and supporting overall wellness. Many users report feeling more motivated to maintain healthy habits after regular sessions.
Stress Reduction
Chronic stress can interfere with weight loss by increasing cortisol levels. The relaxing effects of infrared therapy help reduce stress hormones, creating a more favourable environment for healthy weight management.

Realistic Expectations
While infrared therapy offers significant benefits for weight loss support, it’s most effective when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. The key is consistency – regular sessions can help accelerate your results and support long-term success.
Celebrity-Approved Results

The urban sweat lodge approach to wellness, popularised by celebrities seeking natural detox and weight loss solutions, has now evolved into accessible home infrared therapy. Stars like Selena Gomez relied on infrared therapy as part of their wellness routines, and now you can experience the same professional-grade benefits at home.
Professional Standards
Our infrared wellness products meet the same high standards as the original celebrity urban sweat lodge experiences, ensuring you receive authentic, effective therapy that delivers real results for weight management and overall wellness.
Optimising Your Sessions
To maximise the weight loss benefits of infrared therapy, timing, frequency, and preparation are key factors that can significantly impact your results.
Session Guidelines
- Start with 15-20 minute sessions, gradually increasing to 30-45 minutes
- Aim for 3-4 sessions per week for optimal results
- Stay well-hydrated before, during, and after sessions
- Allow 2-3 hours after meals before sessions
- Follow sessions with light stretching or gentle movement
Best Times for Weight Loss
Morning sessions can boost your metabolism for the entire day, while evening sessions can help with relaxation and recovery. Some users prefer post-workout sessions to enhance recovery and extend calorie burning.
Enhancing Results
Combine infrared therapy with light physical activity, proper hydration, and balanced nutrition for optimal weight management results. Consistency is more important than intensity.
Safety and Considerations
While infrared therapy is generally safe for most people, it’s important to understand proper usage and any limitations to ensure you get the best results safely.
Listen to Your Body
Start slowly and gradually increase session duration. If you feel dizzy or uncomfortable, end your session and cool down gradually.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before, during, and after sessions. Consider electrolyte replacement for longer sessions or frequent use.
Medical Consultation
Consult your healthcare provider before starting infrared therapy, especially if you have medical conditions or take medications.
