This is great! Some new info to me. Thank you!

I did know about blood sugar as my CGM used to spike after the sauna. And last week I was at an outdoor event and my Oura said I’d experienced 3 hours of stress. I felt it! This is fascinating.

Your post was very interesting, but I am wondering how this fits into all the literature that says high heat sauna contributes to longevity.

Your question: "why would heatwaves be a problem, because how this fits into all the literature that says high heat sauna contributes to longevity"

.Indeed, I explain this difference in my latest reel on my instagram account @valerieorsoni

saunas are short in duration, often followed by a cold shower or at least a colder temperature. The problem with heat waves is the duration, not the high heat in itself.
