The article goes on about testing for Progesterone Imbalance.  In my opinion this isn’t necessary.  Just buy a bottle of bio-identical progesterone cream and be aware of any effects.  Particularly energy throughout the day, and sexual function.  If you’re reading this far it’s probably because you’re over 30 and you’ve noticed some unpleasant effects of age.  The right amount of progesterone is probably going to be GREAT for you.  Self experimentation. Not too much. Not too little. Maybe not using it every day.  For this basic thing that helps most people, I wouldn’t waste my time and money on a doctor visit to test for progesterone activity.

It’s almost guaranteed that you’re going to benefit from it.  And a doctor won’t know how much you need nor how often.  It’s on you to experiment to learn that — even if you paid for a doc’s time.

Search Amazon or whatever shop for “organic progesterone cream” like this:

You might raise an eyebrow when the product says “feminine balance therapy.” Well, men benefit from a little progesterone just like women  benefit from a little testosterone.  Try it.

Freddie Mercury asked, “Who wants to live forever?” lol of course you do.  We’re all gonna be disappointed, but certainly we can live healthier for longer. These are the most important supplements I use:

  1. HORMONAL, Progesterone cream & CDG (calcium d-glucarate) & DIM (diindolylmethane)
    Progesterone cured my food sensitivities (more precisely, it 95% reduced my symptoms from salicylic acid sensitivity)  and CDG / DIM share testosterone’s benefit of feeling energized all day, but without risk of roid-rage lol
  2. SKIN, Hyaluronic acid + Collagen + Serrapeptase + Silica + Biotin
    don’t want to look older? Stay out of the sun and reduce (maybe completely eliminate) growth of fibrous tissue (wrinkles) with serrapeptase
  3. CELLULAR anti-aging, Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) is cutting-edge these days.  I take 250mg+ per day sublingual powder. Don’t forget to take TMG with it to supply extra methylation (maybe you’re already a hypermethylator like me, and don’t really need it. Take it anyway.)
  4. Testosterone (maybe 50mg per week, in one or two days usually during an intense workout) don’t forget anti-aromatase supplements Progesterone and DIM (protecting from effects of testosterone breakdown into various estrogens and DHT, and helping metabolizing estrogen, etc)supplements
  5. Magnesium (citrate)
    lower stress, improve digestion, reduce burden from antinutrients (which include Salicylic-Acid-Sensitivity effects caused by various Phenols which include Resveratrol and other Sirtuin activator supplements)
  6. Vitamin K2 complex (various forms of K2) and Grass-fed butter
    yes it really heals cavities when you back off from eating anti-nutrients and sugar every day.  Long story — I know it works for me.  Dentists are criminally ignorant.  If average IQ goes up, it’s game over for their industry.  So serious.
  7. MITOCHONDRIA, Ubiquinol (Kaneka-brand patented Co-Q10)
  8. Krill Oil and eating salmon or sardines once a week.   High quality PUFA oils.
  9. trans-Resveratrol or Pterostilbene, (etc Sirtuin “activators”) but not Fisetin because it’s too esoteric right now. Too expensive, and only sketchy suppliers (not any of my top brands or pharmaceutical-quality brands) are providing it

Not specifically anti-aging, but near the list:  Creatine & Citrulline+Arginine powders, pro-hydration for muscle fibers, pro-ATP, great for extra energy, but progesterone and other aromatase inhibitors like DIM can be more powerful depending on your own unique deficiencies.

This list accounts for about 75% of the 5-to-6 thousand dollars per year I spend on supplements.

500 bucks a month is 6K/year.  Ouch. Adds up fast.  That’s why most of the supplements I use, I feel an immediate benefit, now, or at least years ago when I first started taking it.  But I have to admit I don’t feel any benefit from fish/krill oil, Ubiquinol, Glutathione (liposomal), or Vitamin C (liposomal).  All expensive supplements.  But I take these anyway.  The hype is too strong to resist.

If whole body vibration was on the list, it would be #3 or #4, closely associated with skin health, maintaining bone density (especially facial bones, I hope, and I’m working on some analysis to support this) and also cellular function (I believe) for a myriad of benefits that haven’t been proven yet but are probably centered around lymph flow, oxygen utilization, blood flow in rejuvenated veins, and likely influences on hormone cascades as well.
