Hormones are the body's messengers, quietly regulating the functions we depend on most. They guide growth and development, mood and behavior, cardio-metabolic and cellular health, and reproduction — and they shape how well we adapt to the world around us. When hormones are working in harmony, we feel it. Optimizing them is one of the true pillars of health and a cornerstone of living your Pure Life Longevity.

Mira Hormone Monitor
Know your hormones. Support your hormones.
So much hormone advice is guesswork. My approach is the opposite: I'd rather you understand what's actually happening in your body before we decide what to do about it. These are two tools I reach for often with patients — one to help you see your hormones clearly, and one to support the delicate tissue that hormonal change affects most.
Most at-home tests give you a yes-or-no line and leave you guessing. Mira is different. Depending on the kit, it can track LH, E3G (an estrogen metabolite), PdG (a progesterone metabolite), and FSH using fluorescent technology, then charts your hormone patterns in the Mira app so you can see changes across the cycle rather than a single snapshot.
I recommend it for women trying to conceive, anyone with irregular or confusing cycles, and women moving through perimenopause who want a clearer picture of what may be shifting and when. Mira also offers a kit designed specifically for the menopause transition.
One thing I am always clear about: Mira is a monitoring tool, not a diagnosis. It cannot diagnose PCOS or another medical condition. What it can offer is personal hormone-pattern data that can make conversations about your symptoms, cycle, and next steps more specific and productive.
Julva
Hormonal changes over time can affect the skin and tissues of the vulva, sometimes showing up quietly as dryness, irritation, diminished comfort, or discomfort with intimacy. It is common, deeply personal, and still not talked about enough.
Julva is an OB-GYN-formulated topical cream created by Dr. Anna Cabeca, a triple-board-certified OB-GYN. It combines DHEA, Alpine Rose stem cells, and moisturizing ingredients, including coconut oil, shea butter, vitamin E, and emu oil, to support the look and feel of soft, supple, healthy-looking external vulvar skin.
It is simple to use: apply a small amount externally to the vulva and surrounding skin once daily to begin. After the initial month, many women transition to maintenance use about five times per week. Julva is for external vulvar use only and is not intended for internal vaginal use.
