Saunas

I’m interested in getting a sauna. What’s your opinion on infrared saunas? They don’t get as hot as a traditional sauna. However, the cost is lower and the installation is simpler. I have read the infrared rays penetrate our skin better thus a similar effect can be achieved at a lower temperature. Thank you

Utility of muscle biopsy on a ketogenic diet

You mentioned multiple times that you regret not getting muscle biopsies while you were on a strict ketogenic diet. What would you be looking for? What would you have expected to find? Which hypothesis would this help support?

Time/calorie restricted eating, protein consumption, and maintaining muscle mass

Peter, how do we balance the daily need for one gram of protein per pound, with a time and calorie restricted diet, AND still maintain muscle mass and appropriate weight levels, particularly someone with a muscular frame and very low body fat (< 10%)? And can 185 grams of protein be absorbed in a 16:8 format (eating eight hours/day). For example, a 185 pound person (that engages in significant resistance/strength training) needs (approximately) 185 grams of protein (740 calories). Is it possible to assimilate that much protein if it is ingested over an eight hour period? Also, it takes at least 3,000 calories a day to maintain the above (muscular/lean) body type described. How is it possible to eat a calorie restricted diet and maintain weight and muscle growth? Thank you so much.

Fasting and Menopause

Any data on fasting and menopause. I have been fasting 13 to 15 hours mist days for five months and my body seems to be holding on to fat despite increase in exercise. Feels like something is amiss and I believe it is hormone related. Ideas? Any way to assess?
