According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the can't stand too hot or too cold thing indicates some out of balance conditions in the body. I have noticed since I've been going to an acupuncturist that my feet are no longer too hot all of the time and my overall body temperature seems to have lowered a bit, too, which feels great.

The only problem is, with poor circulation, once my feet get cold, there is no warming them up except by hot bath, heated husk pillow or some such. It is a myth that "padded" women should stay warm more than skinnier men. Temperature has much more to do with ability to circulate the blood than anything else. If a person is say 260lbs, it's as though they are trying to water a football field with a garden hose...very difficult for the heart to do in order to stay warm as the warmth is so dissipated.
