The awareness and urgency around women’s hormone health has thankfully increased and become less taboo as a general topic of discussion over the last 5 years. Not that the bar was very high to begin with. For generations menopause was referred to (by both men and women) as “the silent passage” and the yawning gender gap in healthcare research still looms large. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, prior to 1993 women were rarely included in clinical trials and continue to be overlooked in medical studies especially when it comes to maternal, reproductive and hormone health.
Auditing the foods we eat and the personal care products we use is a good start to taking our hormone health (fertility and menopause) into our own hands. More brands are launching because of this necessity to have more transparency about our hormone health, whether that pertains to fertility, perimenopause or menopausal symptoms or teen acne.
Thirteen Lune carries non-toxic brands that prioritize health and clean ingredients and that are aiming to address women’s health from a personal care perspective.
