## What is Vela Wellness?

Vela is the wellness app built specifically for women navigating perimenopause and menopause — the years when everything shifts and nothing quite makes sense yet.
You are not losing your mind. You are in one of the most significant hormonal transitions of your life. Vela gives you the tools, the data, and the community to move through it with clarity.
TRACK WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS
Log symptoms, food, supplements, and sleep every day. Vela surfaces patterns over 90 days so you finally understand what your body is doing — and why.
THE PERI PLATE
Every food in Vela is scored for anti-inflammatory impact. Track protein, fiber, calcium, magnesium, omega-3, and phytoestrogens against targets built for your specific hormonal phase.
YOUR SUPPLEMENT RITUAL
Build your personalized supplement stack from a curated library of 15 evidence-based supplements. Check them off each morning and track your adherence over time.
FLUXLOG — SYMPTOM + TRIGGER INTELLIGENCE
Log symptoms alongside every trigger — food, stress, sleep, alcohol, caffeine, exercise, and weather. Vela detects correlations so you know what's causing what.
COOLDOWN — NERVOUS SYSTEM COACH
Four guided breathwork protocols, five somatic techniques, and a 90-day sleep tracker with night sweat logging. Everything you need to calm your nervous system and sleep through the night.
DOCTOR-READY PDF EXPORT
Generate a beautiful 90-day health report — symptoms, sleep, nutrition, supplements — and share it directly with your healthcare provider. Come to every appointment fully prepared.
THE SHIFT — YOUR COMMUNITY
Connect with women who get it because they are living it. Share wins, ask questions, and find support from a community that understands exactly what this chapter feels like.
SCIENCE-BACKED. WOMEN-LED.
Every protocol in Vela is rooted in peer-reviewed research on hormonal health and the menopausal transition. No guesswork. No generic wellness advice.
