@PeterAttiaMD - Hi Peter, I love your work and am a member of your stellar The Drive Podcast. I have a question regarding sauna protocols. I am non-diabetic but wear a CGM. I find that I get a glucose spike as high as 12 mmol/L when using a Finnish sauna (15 mins / 80C) - is this a normal (stress) response (like HIIT workout)? I know blood sugar spikes are "bad" so don't want to be doing more harm than good! I combine the sauna with cold plunge so the spikes are rapidly reversed. (Note: my average fasting daily glucose is 4.7 mmol/L; average daily glucose 5.3 mol/L)
