It's all in your brain
Launching Lutea™ - and how it's different to Nettle™
We’re thrilled to introduce Lutea™ - our newest product, and our first release in the United States. Lutea™ is built on the same scientific foundation as Nettle™, but it represents a new perspective on how we think about women’s brain health, daily wellbeing, and self-care.
We asked Nettle™ users about their experience - here’s what they said
Real women, real results. After six months with Nettle™, users reported fewer sick days, less reliance on medication, and reduced GP visits. 80% said they regained nearly a month of life each year, 9 in 10 changed how they use painkillers or hormones, and over half wish GPs offered Nettle™ first. Proof that menstrual health can mean fewer pills, fewer appointments - and more control.
How Irregular Sleep Patterns Affect Your Menstrual Cycle
Irregular sleep patterns can disrupt the hormonal signals that regulate the menstrual cycle. Short or inconsistent sleep may elevate cortisol, interfere with ovulation, and lead to delayed or irregular periods. Because sleep and reproductive hormones influence each other, improving sleep consistency can help support more stable cycles, better mood, and fewer premenstrual symptoms over time.
Can Screen Time Affect Hormonal Balance?
Excessive screen time can influence hormonal balance by disrupting the body’s natural sleep and stress rhythms. Blue light from phones, tablets, and laptops suppresses melatonin and can keep cortisol elevated at night, affecting sleep quality. Over time, poor sleep and increased stress may interfere with the hormonal signals that help regulate the menstrual cycle, mood, and energy levels.
Do You Lose Weight on Your Period? What the Science Actually Says
Weight changes during your period are usually not fat loss or gain, but temporary shifts in water retention caused by hormonal changes across the menstrual cycle. Many women feel heavier before and at the start of menstruation, then notice the scale drop as bloating eases. Understanding this can make cycle-related weight fluctuations feel far less confusing.
The Neuroscience of Daily Clarity: A 3-Minute Brain Reset
We built Daily Clarity to give your brain a structured pause. Three simple questions, grounded in neuroscience, designed to reduce overwhelm and build clarity through repetition. It works by lowering cognitive load, strengthening reward circuits, and reinforcing intentionality. Small, daily inputs that reshape how your brain responds to stress over time.
Does Magnesium Help Period Cramps? What the Research Shows
Magnesium may help relieve period cramps by relaxing uterine muscles and reducing prostaglandins, the compounds that trigger painful contractions during menstruation. Research suggests supplementation can ease cramp intensity and improve related symptoms like mood changes and headaches. While not an instant remedy, consistent magnesium intake may support better menstrual comfort over several cycles.
Hormonal Headaches: Understanding the Menstrual Cycle Connection
Headaches that arrive around the same point in your menstrual cycle are rarely a coincidence. Shifts in estrogen directly affect how the brain processes pain, making certain phases of the cycle especially vulnerable to migraines and severe headaches. For many women, symptoms appear just before bleeding begins or during the first days of a period, when estrogen levels drop most sharply.
