Estrogen Cream

There has been a lot of talk around using estrogen cream on the face starting around 45 - is there a brand you’re using that you can recommend.

Collagen supplements

I know you recommend collagen supplementation and I’m curious to know if you count it toward your macros? The internet seems divided on this and I tend to go over on my protein most days when I count collagen toward my protein intake. I also do a whey shake so that’s almost half my protein just in supplements. I don’t want to stop doing either though as I’ve definitely seen benefits.

Workout routine

Ive been working out at home w dumbbells for years but just got a gym membership and would love to know what sort of workout routine you would recommend for women in their 40s with no health or physical restrictions using the machines not free weights. I only have 3 days i can dedicate to the gym for now so would love to hear your thoughts. Also Cable machines vs smith machines..which do you think gives the best workout for beginners?

Red Light Therapy

My gym added a red light therapy machine that i really look forward to using. I know you have mentioned using these personally. Understanding that you are a doctor but not my doctor id love to know your thoughts on how often to use (times a week, length of time per session) and when its best to use (before working out or on recovery days) etc. Thank you!
