Why we founded Heat Health
Dr. Ari Soffer and his team started Heat Health to bring the rigor of scientific medicine to one of humanity’s oldest wellness practices: the deliberate use of heat.
Dr. Soffer earned his medical degree with distinction from the University of Miami and completed his internship and residency at Cedars-Sinai/UCLA. He later served as Section Chief of Cardiology at a leading Miami hospital, and his career includes serving as the official team physician for the NHL’s Stanley Cup–winning Florida Panthers. A respected physician, author, and lecturer, he has published extensively and spoken internationally on developments in cardiovascular medicine.
As the author of the forthcoming book Heat Health, Dr. Soffer translates the science of sauna, hot-water immersion, and other forms of deliberate heat exposure into accessible guidance. Through Heat Health, he is bringing together education, scientific review, practical tools, and a growing community, including the Heat Health Unit (HHU), an investigational framework for tracking heat exposure.
His purpose is simple: help people turn heat into health through science, practical guidance, and community.
