Science Behind Our Tools

Why Our Quizzes and Calculators Aren’t Just for Fun — They’re Rooted in Science.

At HormoneEase, we understand that your time and your health are precious. That’s why every quiz and calculator on our site is thoughtfully created based on trusted medical research, expert guidelines, and decades of scientific understanding in the fields of:

  • Endocrinology (the science of hormones)

  • Chronobiology (the study of biological rhythms)

  • Nutritional Science

  • Psychoneuroimmunology (how stress affects the body)

Our goal is to make complex science simple and actionable — so you can use it to support your body and feel your best.

Where Our Data Comes From

We base our tools on reputable sources including:

  • Mayo Clinic

  • PubMed

  • National Institutes of Health (NIH)

  • The Endocrine Society

  • Harvard Medical School

  • Institute for Functional Medicine

Each quiz question and calculator formula is reviewed and modeled after current best practices in hormonal health and women’s wellness after 40.

What Makes Our Tools Different?

  • Not generic. Each result is personalized based on your answers — you’ll never get a vague, one-size-fits-all output.

  • Not superficial. We go beyond symptoms to look at patterns in sleep, energy, digestion, cycle shifts, and stress responses.

  • Not random. Our logic and scoring systems are inspired by validated clinical questionnaires, hormone-related symptom trackers, and medical screening tools.

Examples of Scientific Principles Used

  • Insulin Resistance Calculator: Uses lifestyle indicators aligned with metabolic syndrome criteria from the American Diabetes Association.

  • Sleep Cycle Tool: Based on 90-minute ultradian rhythm research published in sleep medicine journals.

  • Hormonal Quizzes: Modeled after symptom checklists used in perimenopause and adrenal dysfunction evaluations.
