Tell me more about the recommended sauna protocol for increasing growth hormone levels, specifically about the duration, repetitions, cooling period, and frequency:
Which study is more accurate regarding the increase of growth hormone through sauna use: Huberman's recommendation of using the sauna once a week for 2 total hours, increasing growth hormone potentially by 16 times, or the study that shows two 15-minute sauna sessions a day increase growth hormone?
I thought it was once a week for best results? Not multiple times?
