In Pride Journeys, editor Joey Amato tests, reviews and highlights how Clearlight infrared saunas have become a favorite among LGBTQ wellness enthusiasts and are more than just a sauna!

“If you’re serious about incorporating infrared therapy into your lifestyle, Clearlight delivers on quality, performance, and comfort. It’s not just a sauna—it’s a wellness sanctuary you can enjoy daily from the comfort of your home.”

Clearlight Founder, Dr. Raleigh Duncan, shares his expertise and insight on how to maximize health and wellness benefits of an outdoor sauna.

Outdoor saunas are having a moment, and for good reason. For homeowners with exterior space to spare, an outdoor sauna provides relaxation in the comfort of your backyard. And for those serious about wellness, saunas make a good investment in your overall well-being.  Clearlight founder and infrared sauna technology pioneer shares more on why an outdoor sauna is just what you need in your life.

The Clearlight Curve ® Dome Infrared Sauna named “Best Portable Home Sauna for 2025” after extensive research and hands-on testing.

These are the best portable saunas for ultimate relaxation and healing when you’re at home or on the go.
Curve ® Dome — Why it made the cut: 

Achieve full relaxation mode in this personal lay-down sauna. 

Not everyone has the space, money, or time for a full-scale sauna installation. But that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice quality. The Curve Sauna Dome allows for a high-quality experience without the hassle of a permanent home sauna. With a memory foam infrared pad and multiple heat level adjustments, this indoor sauna is one of the most comfortable options on our list. Simply set the timer, lay down, and relax. When you’re finished, slide the two domes together for easy storage. 

The model uses far-infrared light, known for its wellness benefits, including increased circulation and boosted immunity. It also comes with a lifetime warranty, so you can buy in confidence knowing your purchase is protected. However, this sauna is a more serious investment than others on this list: it’s heavier, less space-efficient, and not travel-friendly.

New Documentary Uncovers The Forgotten Science of Sweat Detox—The Protocol that Helped 9/11 Survivors Heal When Nothing Else Worked

Featuring Pioneers in Detoxification Science, the Film Reveals How Sauna Therapy Could Transform Modern Healthcare

NEW YORK, NY – April 23, 2025 – A groundbreaking new documentary is set to reveal one of the most powerful yet overlooked healing methodologies in modern medicine—a therapeutic protocol that helped 9/11 survivors recover from catastrophic toxic exposure when conventional treatments failed.

“SWEAT: The Untold 9/11 Story,” produced by Justin Glaser, author of the acclaimed book Sweat: Uncovering Your Body’’s Hidden Superpower, investigates the comprehensive niacin-sauna detoxification protocol and its remarkable success in treating those exposed to the toxic aftermath of September 11, 2001.

Through intimate interviews with 9/11 first responders, leading toxicologists, medical doctors, and pioneering researchers, this compelling documentary explores:

  • The hidden crisis of environmental toxicity and its profound impact on neurological and physical health
  • Why sweat-induced detoxification represents a critical missing component in contemporary wellness approaches
  • The rigorous science validating sauna therapy—now being embraced by medical innovators, performance scientists, and longevity experts worldwide

A Paradigm Shift for Preventive Medicine
“The implications of this protocol extend far beyond helping 9/11 responders—it represents a fundamental shift in how we might approach chronic illness, environmental medicine, and mental health treatment,” explains Dr. Devaki Lindsey Berkson, a prominent environmental medicine specialist featured in the film. “We’re witnessing the revitalization of an evidence-based approach that challenges our current healthcare paradigm.”

Backed by Industry Leaders in Wellness Technology
Clearlight®, the global industry leader in infrared saunas and a pioneer in innovative health and wellness solutions, has joined as the documentary’s primary sponsor, furthering its mission to advance evidence-based wellness solutions.

“Supporting this documentary aligns perfectly with our commitment to bringing scientifically-validated detoxification and longevity tools to the public,” said Clearlight founder and CEO, Dr. Raleigh Duncan. “This film illuminates the critical connection between environmental toxicity and the body’s natural detoxification pathways.”

Media Opportunities and Release Schedule
The documentary is scheduled for release in mid-2025, with exclusive previews available to healthcare professionals, scientific media, and wellness industry leaders. The official trailer debuted in March 2025 across digital platforms, providing a first glimpse into this comprehensive health investigation.

Clearlight Saunas The Sanctuary Pro 2 person sauna

Founded over 25 years ago, Clearlight is changing the game when it comes to infrared home saunas. Designed by Dr Raleigh Duncan who spent more than 20 years developing technology in healthcare, the saunas are not only beautiful but offer a plethora of therapeutic benefits. The brand says “using the heat produced by a Clearlight Sauna, you can increase perspiration, which helps remove toxins and impurities from the body”. Additionally, “infrared waves cause fat cells in the body’s tissue to to vibrate, facilitating the release of heavy metals and toxins, which are then expelled through the skin, kidneys, and other organs that function specifically for detoxification”. Crafted from okoume wood, this luxurious home sauna offers ample room for two people. High-tech features include a choice of 12 different colours of chromotherapy lights, smartphone app control, built-in stereo speakers and a smart device charging cabinet.  Clearlight Saunas

The last thing I bought and loved

was an infrared sauna. I pressured our Herzog & de Meuron apartment building in New York to install one in the gym area, and it fits about six people. I recently bought a smaller one from Clearlight for our house in the Hamptons. I use it as many days as possible – it’s amazing – and I also have a HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket. 

Prepare to be impressed…

If you feel like you’re too old to get a fitness accomplishment under your belt, let Kevin MacDonald be the one to prove you wrong. At 67, MacDonald includes the Clearlight Sanctuary Outdoor 5 infrared sauna in his daily fitness regimen, along with weight training, swimming, and cycling, to stay in peak physical condition.

“I put a Clearlight infrared sauna on my roof and I’m using that literally every day. I know people live by the cold plunge, but I hate it so much. I’m not jumping in there. Sauna is where it’s at for me. I’ll take the heat every day…”
