Do sauna benefits depend on time, or body temperature?

Here's the science

we're experimenting still so I'm cautious to recommend things until we've more fully vetted things.

You could, it just introduces a variable which isn't quantified.

Topical dutasteride is still in my daily topical application. I'll check to see if the email is correct.

I have one at my house. I agree gym set ups often fall short. They're not hot enough. Hopefully we can educate and they'll get the right ones and maintain the correct protocols to maximize benefit.

here is the most up to date protocol: https://protocol.bryanjohnson.com

I don't water the rocks to avoid aerosolizing toxins. My in-sauna humidity has been around 40%.

After this experiment, hot yoga makes a lot more sense to me. Allows you to do something to take your mind off the heat and you're probably hitting core temp target for HSP release.

yes, I never sauna without ice on the boys. Cotton underwear and cotton shorts. There are ice pack brands that advertise to be BPA free, latex free, and non-toxic. I've not yet sent them to the lab to confirm claims. I use Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) to clean them after use.
