Like PM, progesterone cream is very strong. Are you estrogen dominant? If not then I wouldn't take PC without PM, especially not without cycling. Or else it could throw you out of balance and lead to issues. Though tiny amounts could prevent some of the problems.
The fenugreek is fine though a little low. You could use way more if you want. Even many spoonfuls eventually. It should be good for hormonal balance so it shouldn't throw anything out of whack even with a lot. Past ~6,000-9,000 mg (~2-3 tsp) you may want to sprout seeds or get an extract though, to be easier on the stomach. Or fenugreek oil would do the trick too. Unlike many other herbs you can use a ton and it does more; the sky's the limit.
Likewise 10,000 mg maca tends to be faster than 3,000 mg, though even 3,000 mg is decent. I'm not sure if more than 10,000 mg does much though.
Supplemental vitamin C and E are pretty useless. Pills are missing several other related compounds. Very high amounts can actually reduce these other compounds and have a negative effect. A little fresh fruit and a handful of almonds is better.
Chicken feet is better than MSM and ya you don't need both. MSM provides the sulfur to cross-link the collagen proteins, it's what makes them tough and rubbery. Chicken feet contains collagen and so on, so you get the sulfur inside the collagen and more.
The maca, thistle, hops, flax, almonds, chia, alfalfa and brussels sprouts are all nice. I can't think of any missing herbs besides anti-androgens.
Nutritionally I'd get lots and lots of whole grains, some fish oil or seafood and a light tan or a 2000 IU vitamin D supplement, a sprinkling of kelp and 6 tsp rice bran or 2 tsp spirulina or 1 tsp turmeric . Lots and lots of dark green veggies are nice too, especially spinach. Fish oil isn't positively related to NBE AFAIK (the little extra testosterone is a slight negative for NBE even), but it's good for you. And while nice other healthy oils including flax and chia are not a substitute for it.
Besides that you could do squats, pushups and crunches I suppose. I can't think of anything else
Instead of a ton of fenugreek, you could also use a ton of shatavari extract. I might eventually make a huge order and piece it out, but that could be a couple months or so away. It's highly concentrated so a spoonful is like 18 spoonfuls, yet it dissolves easily so it is easy to drink or to put in lotion topically.
