Sauna House co-founder Andrew Lachlan’s go-to products and experiences

Welcome to Health Stack, a series where founders, operators and experts share their favorite health and wellness products, gear, apps, and routines…

Andrew Lachlan, is the co-founder of Sauna House. He’s a dark chocolate-loving, mountain bike-shredding, girl dad of two. As his two girls like to say … “you’re the boss at work; we’re the boss at home!”

Pre-family life, Andrew and his wife Katie traveled through the US and Europe, where they fell deeper in love with bathing culture with each bathhouse and hot spring they visited. Andrew had been using sauna and cold water therapy for some time on his recovery journey, but it was during this phase that the cultural and social significance of the practice really set in. After landing in Asheville, Andrew knew that his next venture had to bring a bathhouse experience — Sauna House — to the local community.

Here’s Andrew to share his Health Stack:

Waking Up App

“A new operating system for your mind: This is a mediation app that has a massive amount of wellbeing content and educators. I’ll tune in while I’m doing breathwork on a Shakti Mat before going to sleep.”

Sauna House

“No surprise here! Sauna and cold plunge are essential for me, and of course my favorite place to experience this is at Sauna House. Our bathhouses are rad. Good people, good music, good vibes all around.”

Concept2 Rowing Machine

“If I don’t have the time to get my exercise on the trails, I hit the rowing machine. Super effective, super efficient strength training. I like to do intervals with Rogue Kettle Bells to break it up a bit.”

Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega

“This fish oil is made with 100% wild-caught sardines and anchovies. It is great for brain and heart support.”

Topo Trail Shoes

“If you know me, you know I’m pretty particular about my footwear. I’ve literally been wearing the same style of everyday footwear for the last 6+ years. Recently this shoe was discontinued and I’ve been lost. Anyway, let’s talk trail shoes! I live on the side of a mountain that goes up to Craggy Gardens in Asheville, so I can trail run directly out of my back door. These shoes get worked in heavily throughout the year.”

Sauna House Ritual Body Oil

“This Vitamin E, Omega-3 and antioxidant rich blend gets worked into my skin after every shower and sauna session. I also pair this with ION Skin Spray by Zach Bush.”
