"We looked at something like creatine, which really pulls water into the cell, and we evaluated what happens in the follicular versus the luteal phase. Creatine was able to take that extracellular fluid and bring it into the cell."
"We have leveraged at home hormone urine analyses where you measure daily urine which really starts to say okay well maybe my hormones are changing. Most of them are measuring some form of estrogen, some form of progesterone, FSH, LH, all in like a pee stick."
"Whey protein amino acids are going to get you the same. But sometimes I don't want a milky substance and the amino acids are absorbed a little bit faster."
"We've also done some work with essential amino acids around exercise, which really helps optimize that maintenance of lean mass."
"Omega-3, vitamin D, magnesium, creatine, multivitamin, those are the key ones."
"Omega-3, vitamin D, magnesium, creatine, multivitamin, those are the key ones."
"I do like a probiotic, which is debatable, but multistrain based on my GI system."

"Potentially some zinc and magnesium to help with the vasodilation and sleep."
