The foundations of our work.
Our work begins with understanding women’s biology and how it changes throughout life. Drawing on decades of research into the connections between the gut, brain and hormones, we explore what these changes mean for women’s health and how we can support them.
Our focus on women’s biology
Women’s health is shaped by biology that changes across life stages. Hormonal transitions do not occur in isolation; they interact with multiple systems and can influence how women experience their bodies and daily lives.
FemmeBiomeTM begins with female biology rather than adapting a general adult proposition for women. This focus helps us define a specific need, assess the science that is relevant to it and design a solution for the life stage in question.
Research foundations
The microbiome-gut-brain axis describes the two-way communication between the gut, its microbial communities and the brain. Research continues to examine how these systems interact with hormones, immunity, metabolism and other aspects of health.
Professor Siobhain O’Mahony’s research has contributed to understanding these connections and their relevance to women’s health. FemmeBiomeTM draws on this scientific perspective as one part of a wider, applied approach to women’s biology.
Scientific judgement and clear evidence
At FemmeBiomeTM, evidence shapes the decisions behind our products—from the questions we investigate to the formulations we develop. Our founder’s background in neuroscience shapes how we approach women’s health, with a particular focus on the brain’s role in the changes women experience, including changes in mood, sleep, memory and concentration during menopause. That perspective guides the questions we ask and the products we develop.
We bring the same precision to how we communicate. We explain why a formulation makes scientific sense, what research on the product demonstrates and what women report from using it. Together, these offer a clear picture of the thinking behind each product and what can be expected from it.
