The Hormone Method is personalized hormonal wellness for women navigating cycles, perimenopause, hysterectomy, or menopause. It's built around your actual stage, not a one-size-fits-all program. The Hormone Method offers a 7-day free trial, then continues as an auto-renewing monthly subscription ($9.99/month). Your subscription unlocks daily check-ins for symptoms, energy, mood, sleep, and anxiety, plus guidance that shifts with where you really are — whether that's a cycle phase, surgical recovery, or life after menopause. You'll also get a personal AI coach available anytime, a full library covering nutrition, movement, breathwork, and mindfulness, and a history and patterns view that turns your daily logs into something useful for you and your next doctor's visit. There's also a section written specifically for your partner, so they understand what you're going through instead of guessing. Your data is never sold. That's structural, not just a policy. The Hormone Method is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider before making health changes.

A gym app for someone who wants to know whether they are actually getting stronger. WORKOUT • Build a plan by hand, or get one from three questions • 500 exercises with animations, names in five languages • Rest timer that keeps running with the screen off • Weight suggested from your last session • History with volume totals DIET • Calorie target worked out from your data, not read off a table • Daily macros, meals, manual override • Weight week by week, and an answer to "is this working" PROGRESS • Three measures of one lift: estimated max, top weight, volume • Change shown as a percentage, because "+5 kg" means one thing at 100 and another at 20 • Records named in plain language WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Your sets, meals and weigh-ins survive a dead connection. They go up when the signal comes back — nobody logs the same set twice because the gym basement had no internet. de.load PRO No ads, no routine limit, full history, data export and every ready-made plan. Monthly, quarterly or yearly — cancel any time in your account settings.
