The emotional weight of midlife is real, rooted not just in shifting hormones during the menopause transition but in a deeper biological system that has been overlooked for too long. By bringing the endocannabinoid system into the conversation, and into the science, we are beginning to uncover new possibilities.

The menopause transition isn’t linear. It’s dynamic, unpredictable and sometimes changing hour to hour. Hormones fluctuate. Life shifts. What worked a year ago might not work tomorrow. We believe women deserve solutions that evolve with them and we are working towards providing a validated, adaptable treatment for the core psychological symptoms of peri/menopause.

Menopause can feel like a journey through the dark. Like so many women, you start trying things. All the while, the symptoms shift, evolve, or stubbornly stay put — and you’re left wondering: Am I getting anywhere at all? We’re here because we believe women deserve better than “hope in a bottle.”

While each woman’s journey is unique, the core of it - the emotional and physical upheaval of the menopause transition -binds us in a shared experience.

Menopause is finally having its moment. The noise around menopausal hormonal therapy (MHT) has grown louder than ever, and while MHT is a critical option, it’s not the only one—and it’s certainly not right for every woman.

The fact that other companies are all of a sudden interested in the science of botanical medicines for menopause and the endocannabinoid system means one thing: the conversation is growing, and that’s a win for women’s health. We are not simply combining trendy plant extracts and calling it innovation: true innovation requires scientific credibility, rigorous formulation, and the right expertise.

Women deserve choices in menopause care: choices that are informed, validated, and tailored to individual needs.

Real choice means

1. Access to evidence-based alternatives beyond conventional hormone therapies.

2. Investment in clinical trials that include whole-plant phytomedicines, not just pharmaceuticals.

3. Recognition of lived experience alongside clinical and scientific data.

For decades, women have been told that their health hinges entirely on estrogen. But the science is clear: estrogen is important, but it’s the endocannabinoid system that holds the key to long-term balance.

Estrogen shapes the ECS, and the ECS shapes how estrogen works.

Beyond Antidepressants and HRT: Rethinking Menopause Treatment

The current standard of care often defaults to prescribing antidepressants like Prozac or Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT/HRT), both of which don’t address the root cause of hormonally induced psychological symptoms.
