I wanted to put this out there in its own thread so it is easier for people to find. MissEllen and I had a discussion in the High Temp and BO thread. I found research that says 30min straight (and that is essential that it be 30min without a break) of sauna use increases HG hormone.

I have been going to a sauna twice a week for two weeks now. I take 500mg of BO an hour before my sauna session on a empty stomach (in addition to 500mg in the morning and at night) and each time have breast aches either directly afted using the sauna or within a couple of hours of using the sauna. I don't get breast aches during the day on non-sauna days, which supports my theory that the sauna is having an effect. I haven't done any measurements or anything because breast growth is a slow process, I don't know if there would be much of a difference after only a couple of weeks. But the timing of the aching has been consistent enough that I wanted to share this.
I also drink a protein shake about an hour after my sauna session (I go home after because I don't want to use the gym showers or drag all my protein shake stuff to work with me). My protein shake consists of whey, collagen, and MCT oil in 8oz unhomogenized whole milk (28g protein, 32g saturated fat). Ideally I could drink my shake right after my sauna session but I have yet to figure out how I could make this logistically possible.
