The New Science of Heat, Health, and Performance, Featuring Bill Gifford
Vail Health Learning Lab
Join us as we welcome bestselling author and science journalist Bill Gifford for a provocative talk based on his new book Hotwired, where he challenges what we think we know about heat, discomfort, and human performance. Bill 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, stay to connect with our team and explore what Vail Health’s Behavioral Health Innovation Center, Vail Healthspan programs, and local providers have to offer.
