Sweat – one of our seemingly oddest biological functions while simultaneously being one of the most vital and least understood – until now. Why is sweat salty? Why does stress produce sweat to the point the phrase “don’t sweat it” has become commonplace? Why do some of us produce colorful or odd smelling sweat? And – as our wearable trackers continue to advance – should we be concerned about the ability of organizations to track the molecules contained in our sweat that reveal secrets about our health and our habits?

Welcome to the Catalyst 360 podcast, your source for engaging, evidence-based insights on health, wellness & high performance. Today’s episode features Sarah Everts, popular scientific writer for publications ranging from Scientific American and Smithsonian to the Economist and best-selling author of the intriguing new book The Joy of Sweat. We’ll be discussing everything from sweat’s role in the search for love to the role of deodorant, what the research reveals about the purported health benefits of saunas and much more.
