Hi - Peter said that women using the estrodial patch shouldn’t go into the sauna at 104, but he never said why. Does anyone know why Peter said that? Thank you.
Really great interview! Two observations from me. I have been on TRT for 40 years. I monitor my hematocrit every 6 months because TRT gives me erythrocytosis; which I first discovered by escalating blood pressure and headaches. I controlled this for a couple of decades via blood donation 2-4 times a year. Testosterone injections exacerbate the erythrocytosis faster than topical (so I use topical). After studying the effects of grapefruit juice on RBCs (causes agglutination of RBCs and then they are removed via the liver), I was able to stop blood donation and use daily grapefruit juice to control the erythrocytosis. Dissecting the components of grapefruit juice, I tried several flavonoids to see if I got the same results. Finally settled on naringin as the causal compound. Now, as long as I take naringin daily, I have no problems with blood pressure or erythrocytosis.
I joined FoundNyFitness after listening to Rhonda interview Peter Attia. I was making a ton of notes and digging up the references. The transcript and glossary are very useful to me, let me go back and study what I heard. This is well worth it, thanks.
Thanks for looking to reach out! I try to reply to every single email I get (really!), but sometimes it takes a little while or some messages just fall through the cracks, usually by accident.

I would love to know the specifics of the patch and sauna as well!
