Some mornings you wake up with no energy even after eight hours of sleep. Other days you bloat and have no idea why. The week before your period, you don't recognize your own moods. You're not overreacting. It's not just stress. It's your body responding to hormones no one ever taught you to read. Lua isn't another period calendar. It's the first app that connects what you eat, how you sleep, how you feel and the hormonal phase you're in — and shows you the full pattern: why it happens, what to expect, and what to do. In under 2 minutes a day, you log how you woke up. Lua does the rest. And the more you use it, the better it knows you. Your hormonal profile sharpens with every entry: within months, Lua understands your patterns better than a 15-minute appointment. WHAT LUA DOES FOR YOU — Know what's coming before you feel it Your hormone curve, your likely symptoms and what to do, day by day. — Your food, translated Take a photo. Lua learns which foods give you energy and which trigger your symptoms, based on your phase. Not calories. Context. — Connects to Apple Health Reads your sleep, heart rate and variability on its own. No manual logging. — Finds patterns you'd miss on your own What you ate Tuesday and how you slept Thursday, connected. Real correlations, not guesses. — Walk into your appointment with data Share a secure hormonal profile with your doctor: your patterns, signals and history in one link. No more "I don't know how to explain it." — A chat that actually knows you Ask it anything. It knows your history and answers with your context — not the first thing that pops up on Google. FOR YOUR STAGE, NOT FOR "WOMEN" Regular cycles, irregular, PCOS, perimenopause, menopause. Lua adapts to your body and your moment. It doesn't treat everyone the same. 73% of women with hormonal symptoms wait more than 2 years for a diagnosis. Meanwhile they're told it's "your age" or "just stress." Lua doesn't replace your doctor — it helps you walk in with data, not doubts. Your data is yours. Anonymous account by default. You decide what to share. Lua Care is an informational wellness tool. It does not replace professional medical advice. Consult your doctor before making health decisions.
