3: Why Biohacking Is Making Women Feel Worse (And What To Do Instead)

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.
