What we learnt when women finally put themselves first

The Flow Neuroscience Depression Treatment Headset

Hi Mobsters, it's Leah here, the founder of The House of Hormones bringing you your weekly hormone and wellness intel! At The House of Hormones, we’ve always said women deserve better, better research, better products, better answers. For far too long, women’s health has been underfunded, under-researched, and under-prioritised. That’s why we’ve decided to take matters into our own hands.

From now on, THOH will be running our own in-house studies on products that claim to support women’s health. Because if brands want to speak to women, they need to put their money where their mouth is. And here’s the best part: you get to be part of it. These studies don’t just move the needle for women everywhere, they also give you the chance to try products for free, with real data backing them up. 

Our very first study was with Flow Neuroscience, looking at the link between perimenopause and depression. Forty-five incredible women from this community signed up. But here’s the truth: 20 dropped out. When we asked why, 75% admitted they simply didn’t have the time or energy. 68% said they rarely prioritise themselves. And more than 70% revealed that their mood shifts so much with their cycle, they often don’t know what’s “normal.” That’s tough to read, but it shows exactly why this work matters. 

Now, the women who did complete the study saw jaw-dropping results. Flow’s device didn’t just support mood. Depressive symptoms, anxiety, and irritability dropped by over 30%. Sleep problems improved by 35%. Brain fog, that invisible weight nobody takes seriously, lightened by 31%. And here’s the headline: women reported a 46% boost in their ability to function at work.

This isn’t just data. This is proof of what happens when women finally put themselves first. The ripple effect is huge, better health, better energy, better relationships, and better work.

And we’re not stopping there. Right now, we’re running a brand new study with Curaprox, diving into the fascinating link between hormones and oral health. Yes, your gums and your hormones are more connected than you might think! If you’ve ever noticed changes in your mouth or teeth around your cycle, this one’s for you. And the best part? By joining, you’re not just helping yourself,  you’re helping build a future where women’s health is studied properly, and where products are held accountable. 

So here’s the takeaway: women aren’t “too complicated” to study, we’re just overdue the attention and investment we deserve. And thanks to this community, we’re starting to change that.
