Clear whey isolate in water is one of the few protein formats that doesn't trigger the GI sensitivity that standard concentrates do on these meds - the 20g per serving without the lactose or fat load is what makes it practical at lower eating windows.

Quest ultra-sensitive E2 is the right assay for hormonal tracking.

10mg in 10mL is 1mg/mL. Most use 1-2 sprays per nostril, 0.1mL each.

You look great!

That must feel amazing! Congrats and keep it up! You've totally got this! I went from 'severely obese' to a healthy BMI for the first time in more than 2 decades. Then gained about 20 pounds from starting a new medication, which threw me back into the overweight bracket. I was not happy, but...

If you're using an online provider, make sure your regular doctor knows. Also, prepare for other bodily changes. I was super focused on preventing hair loss, but it still happened. It was discouraging, but I'm still glad I'm doing this. It might not happen to you, but just be aware. Prioritize...

You look at least a decade younger! Congrats on your maintenance journey and the A1c!
