Endocrine & hormonal
Your hormones quietly run everything. When they shift, you feel it everywhere.
Mood, sleep, energy, libido, cycle comfort, body composition — all of it is downstream of your hormonal balance. For women navigating PMS, perimenopause, post-pill recovery, or mood swings tied to the cycle, the disruption is real — and supportable.
You probably notice
The everyday signs.
- PMS that arrives 7–10 days before your period
- Mood, sleep, or skin shifts with your cycle
- Heavy, painful, or unpredictable periods
- Coming off the pill and feeling 'not yourself'
- Perimenopause symptoms starting earlier than expected
Underneath, it's usually
The root pattern.
- Estrogen dominance — too much estrogen relative to progesterone
- Sluggish liver phase-2 detox (the route estrogen exits)
- Low magnesium and B6 (the cofactors progesterone needs)
- HPA-axis dysregulation pulling pregnenolone away from progesterone
The science
What's actually happening.
The female cycle is a monthly conversation between estrogen and progesterone, with the liver and gut deciding how the old hormones leave. When detox stalls, estrogen recirculates — PMS, heavy periods, breast tenderness, mood swings follow. The stack supports estrogen metabolism, rebuilds the progesterone-side cofactors, and quiets the inflammatory tone the cycle rides on.
Your starter stack
Built for the Hormone Rollercoaster.
Each ingredient is chosen for what your archetype is actually short on — not the trending hashtag of the week.
FemGuard+Balance
120 vegetarian capsulesComprehensive female hormone formula with DIM, calcium-d-glucarate, chasteberry, and turmeric — supports healthy estrogen metabolism and luteal-phase balance.†
Magnesium Glycinate Complex
60 vegetarian capsules · 300 mgHighly absorbable chelated magnesium — the #1 cofactor depleted in cycling women; supports calm, sleep, and progesterone synthesis.†
OmegAvail Ultra
120 softgels · 1,200 mg omega-3High-potency triglyceride-bound EPA/DHA — supports a balanced inflammatory response, steady mood, and skin comfort across the cycle.†
Daily rhythm
Do these.
- Track your rhythm (cycle, sleep, training, libido)
- Cruciferous veg 5x/week (broccoli, arugula, cabbage)
- Strength train 3x/week — the strongest hormonal lever there is
- Limit alcohol to <3 drinks/week (heavy estrogen + cortisol load)
Quiet sabotage
Stop these.
- Endocrine disruptors (fragrance, plastic, conventional dairy)
- Skipping meals — blood sugar drives hormone chaos
- Stacking adaptogens you saw on TikTok without a plan
Two cycles in, the week-before-my-period meltdown just… didn't happen. My partner noticed before I did.

Common questions.
Can I retake the quiz later?+
Yes. Renu Membership ($9/month) lets you retake the quiz anytime — as often as you'd like — so you can recalibrate your stack as your biology shifts. Your first 7 days are free with any report purchase.
Is this safe on hormonal birth control?+
Some of the stack is, some isn't. Your report tailors it to your method (pill, IUD, implant, off).
Will this help with perimenopause or andropause?+
Yes — both are the same root pattern, amplified by age. The female stack covers perimenopause; the male stack covers andropause / 'low T' symptoms. The report adjusts dosing for either.
How long until I notice a change?+
Women: often by cycle 2; full Vitex effect at 60–90 days. Men: libido and morning energy often shift in 3–4 weeks as nitric oxide and zinc status rebuild.
Is this safe while trying to conceive?+
For women, Vitex is actually used in fertility protocols to lengthen the luteal phase; DIM is paused once you're trying. For men, the male stack is fertility-supportive (zinc and antioxidants both help sperm parameters). Your report adjusts the stack by phase.
Can I take this during pregnancy?+
No — pause Vitex, DIM, and high-dose adaptogens during pregnancy. Magnesium, B6, and omega-3 continue at prenatal-appropriate doses. Always confirm with your OB.
Do I need a hormone test first?+
Helpful, not required. Women: a DUTCH or day-21 progesterone panel confirms the pattern. Men: a free + total testosterone, SHBG, and estradiol panel does the same. The stack supports the underlying physiology either way.
Is this an alternative to TRT or HRT?+
It's foundational support, not replacement. Many members run both with their prescriber's input — the stack handles the cofactors and clearance that HRT/TRT alone don't address. Some men avoid needing TRT entirely by closing the cofactor gap first.
Can I take this if I have PCOS or low free T with normal total T?+
Yes — both are common nuances. PCOS women often need the female stack with adjustments; men with normal total but low free T usually respond best to the male stack because it addresses SHBG and conversion, not just synthesis.
Should I sync my training and supplements to my cycle or week?+
Women: heavier strength work in the follicular phase, longer recovery and magnesium emphasis in the luteal phase. Men: the male stack pairs best with 3 strength sessions/week and a low-alcohol week. The report includes a simple calendar.
