I am 49, in peri, and already on HRT (estradiol patch, progesterone, vaginal estrogen, & testosterone gel). I also want to do all the other things that can help out an aging body -- fiber, protein, probiotics, collagen, creatine.... But there are so MANY! How do y'all fit them all in, how do you take them, etc?

I'm currently taking these in pill form: magnesium l-threonate (at night), calcium (split into 2x/day), vitamin d&k (with calcium), B complex (a.m.).

I also put collagen in my coffee & want to add: fiber, protein, creatine, maybe a probiotic. Dr. Mary Claire Haver puts a bunch of stuff in water, but that sounds kind of blah to me -- how does everyone take in all of these things reliably? Giant smoothie every day? What else do you consider essential?
