3: Why Biohacking Is Making Women Feel Worse (And What To Do Instead)
5/12/202632 min
Biohacking is everywhere right now. The fasting protocols, the cold plunges, the 5am power mornings, the high intensity everything. And women are doing all of it, following the same advice, putting in the same effort, and still feeling exhausted, hormonally off, and like their body is somehow working against them.
Here is what nobody in that conversation is saying out loud. Almost every biohack that has gone mainstream was researched and designed on male biology. And male biology runs on a completely different clock than the female body does. Which means the protocols most women are killing themselves to follow were never built for them in the first place.
In this episode of The Ovary Club, I break down the five most popular biohacks that are quietly disrupting women's hormonal health and introduce a new concept that I believe is the real future of women's wellness.

[gentle music] Welcome to The Ovary Club with me, Alisa Vitti, your source for women's hormone truth from someone who's been pioneering this conversation for over 25 years. If you want to join the club, here's what you need to know. Your ovaries are a key driver of how you feel, function, and age. They track everything, and it's time you start working with them. And no, your body doesn't operate like a man's, so your health strategy shouldn't either. That's why I'm here to help you deal with hormone symptoms naturally, slow hormonal aging, and biohack like a woman. Inside The Ovary Club, we do things differently. This is gender-specific science designed to help optimize your health through every decade of life. So if you're ready to join the club, consider this your invitation to start living in sync with your hormones. When I first started this work, I kept hearing the same thing, that PMS and hormonal symptoms were just something women had to live with. That never sat right with me, because I knew what it felt like to be disconnected from your own body. So we studied it, and in our clinical trial, 92% of women had less PMS in just 60 days using the Cycle Syncing Method. Because when you finally start working with your body instead of fighting it, things begin to shift, your energy, your mood, even how you feel in your own skin. If you've been struggling for years, this is just your sign. You can try it for free. Just download the MyFlow app on iTunes or Google
