Red light therapy, sauna, supplements... The best health protocols for women according to a Doctor!

Red light therapy, sauna, supplements... The best health protocols for women according to a Doctor!31 aug11 min

What if the health advice you're following wasn't actually studied on women... and the protocols everyone's recommending might not work for your body at all?

This is a conversation about personalized health, why women need different protocols than men, and the future of precision medicine that actually tracks what your body needs in real time.

We're diving into why clinical trials need to study more women, how your hormone levels should dictate your supplementation, and why the one size fits all approach to health is fundamentally broken.

We're exploring the cold plunge debate (and why timing matters more than you think), the Finnish sauna study that showed longevity benefits, and why red light therapy might actually be worth the investment if you buy the right device.

Here's what we're diving into:

Why clinical trials need to study more women (and why N equals 1 isn't enough to understand what works)

How ethnicity, biology, childhood, and diet all influence what your body actually needs

Why women have different requirements at different life phases (pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond)

The supplements women actually need: iron, magnesium, vitamin D (and why they're different from men's needs)

Why maintaining muscle mass and bone mineral density is critical for metabolic health (and preventing diabetes and cardiovascular disease)

The hormone innovation we need: a patch that tracks your estradiol and progesterone day to day and releases the exact dose you need in real time

The cold plunge truth: why you should wait a couple hours after strength training (because it reverses muscle hypertrophy)
