ABOUT US
Hi, this is Ana, the founder & CEO of Hormone University & its product line Glow by Hormone University. Our mission is to be the leading hormonal wellness destination trusted for its efficacious product solutions and educational content.
I founded this company out of my own personal struggles with Endometriosis and major hormonal imbalances. Most women have a hormone story – in fact, 80% of women suffer from hormonal imbalance at some point in their lives. Yet, the topic is still a taboo and we’re here to break that silence. That’s why we have developed a game-changing range of products and treatments for people to manage and treat hormonal health: from menstrual symptoms, menopause, stress & sleep and sexual health.
We’re a mission-driven company with a deep love for our community. We co-create with our medical board, listening to customers and obsess over every detail—from our formulations to our packaging—to help them feel like themselves again. Trust is everything to us. Without it, we can’t do our job of supporting and empowering people through every stage of hormonal change.
If you’re observant, curious, and genuinely passionate about improving people’s lives, you’ll thrive here. We’re building the go-to destination for hormonal health—and we’re looking for the best team to help us get there.
