Like what you see?
 
In case you’re wondering, we’re all about steering clear of the B.S. (like greenwashing), and our core values center around empowering education and creating trustworthy products that are clean, safe, and effective.

This is our MANIFESTO - so you know how we think and work 

Our Purpose—To help 1M women overcome hormone imbalance, with a focus on estrogen dominance, within the next 3 years.

Our Community—We serve a community of passionate, intelligent women who have been disappointed and misled by allopathic (“conventional”) medicine and who are now seeking to take their health back by adapting natural means.

Our Team - We are a small and mighty group of women who are deeply passionate about serving women, offering them resources to heal and thrive. We live this lifestyle, or aspire to. We do this work as part of our personal and career growth.

Live to Learn - We believe in deepening our respective fields of expertise by constantly learning and evolving.

The Power of Food—We believe that balanced hormones depend on a clean, organic, non-inflammatory diet, and food that comes from sustainable sources that truly nourish our bodies.

Diet—We believe in eating for your bio-individuality (each body is unique and responds to food differently). We stay away from dietary dogmas (be it vegan, vegetarian, or keto diets as a “cure-all” remedy).

Plants and Herbalism—We believe that plants play a necessary part in modern health, and when combined with sound nutrition, their healing benefits are extraordinary.

Science and Facts—We base our editorial content, education, books, recipes, and product development on strong proven facts and well-researched studies.

Squeaky Clean Products—We are passionate about developing safe, clean, and research-backed products that serve our community and help balance women’s hormones. We work hard to bring you products that are both safe and effective.

We Don’t Greenwash—We don't use misleading marketing to make our products seem more green or eco-friendly. Our products really are as natural as it gets.

Time-Honored Traditions—We create healing recipes and products using botanicals inspired by ancient herbal traditions from around the world.

Partners—We only partner with small companies that share our values and create trustworthy products that are clean, safe, and effective.

Resilience - In spite of occasional adversities, we are resistant, emotionally strong, and unbreakable because we believe in the greater good and the purpose of this work.  

We Live, Eat and Breathe This Lifestyle—This is why it never feels like work. We also believe in radical self-care by being out in nature, eating nourishing food, laughing, hugging our beloveds (humans or pets), and doing the things that make life great.
