Nearly half of all autoimmune misdiagnoses get labeled as "stress," "anxiety," or "medically unexplained symptoms."

For women in perimenopause, the problem intensifies. Fatigue? Could be thyroid. Could be menopause. Joint pain? Autoimmune flare or hormonal shift? Mood changes? Take your pick.
Traditional medicine treats these as separate issues. Different specialists. Different appointments. No one connecting the dots.

But when you track systematically—symptoms, triggers, weather, sleep, stress—patterns emerge:
→ Humidity above 85% correlates with increased neck pain → Barometric pressure drops predict migraine onset by 48 hours�→ Sleep disruption precedes flare windows by 2-3 days

Your symptoms aren't random. They're predictable.

This is why we built Project Eve. Beta testing now. Details in comments

"They told her it was stress. Then anxiety. Then 'just menopause.'"

After tracking her symptoms systematically for 3 weeks, the data revealed what her doctors missed: her migraines weren't random—they spiked within 24 hours of specific humidity and pressure changes.

Her neck pain? Directly correlated with weather patterns traditional medicine never thought to track.

She finally had proof. Not guesswork. Not dismissal. Data. This is what Project Eve does.

We're recruiting women with autoimmune conditions in perimenopause/menopause for our beta. 30 days of tracking = personalized insights that put YOU in the expert seat about your own body.

3 in 4 women with autoimmune conditions experience misdiagnosis before getting real answers.
The journey typically involves 4-5 different physicians over 4+ years, costing $5,000+ annually out-of-pocket—and that's before you even have a diagnosis to treat.

For women entering perimenopause? The symptoms overlap. The dismissals multiply. The diagnostic timeline stretches even longer.

What if systematic tracking could compress years of uncertainty into months of clarity?

That's what we're testing with Project Eve. We're looking for 25 more women with autoimmune conditions navigating perimenopause/menopause to join our beta. Track daily for 30 days.

Receive personalized insights about your symptom patterns—the kind that transform "I don't know what's wrong" into "here's exactly what's happening, and here's the data to prove it."

A Penn Medicine doctor just met "Astrid" — his patient's AI chatbot.

In the Philadelphia Inquirer, Dr. Jeffrey Millstein describes the moment a patient brought her AI companion to an appointment. Astrid helps her remember questions and research symptoms between visits.�

His takeaway? AI chatbots have "far greater potential as doctor-patient partners, rather than as alternatives."

This is exactly why we built Journal My Health.�

For women navigating autoimmune conditions during perimenopause and menopause, the challenge isn't just remembering what to ask — it's understanding patterns that unfold over weeks and months. Fatigue that spikes before a flare. Sleep disruptions that correlate with symptom changes. Triggers you'd never spot without data.�

Generic chatbots can answer questions. But they can't track YOUR body's patterns over time. They can't show your doctor a month of symptom data that reveals what's really happening between appointments.�

That's the gap we're filling with Project Eve.�

Dr. Millstein asks patients to "share your learnings" with their doctors. We couldn't agree more. The best outcomes happen when patients arrive informed — not with internet rabbit holes, but with their own organized health story.�

What tools are you using to prepare for doctor visits?

Why Project Eve? Because knowledge is power—especially when your body feels unpredictable.

We started this with a simple question:
What if women with autoimmune diseases didn't have to fear perimenopause and menopause?
What if, instead of bracing for unpredictable flares and symptom changes, they could SEE them coming?

What if they had data-driven insights that helped them:
• Adjust medications BEFORE crashes happen
• Identify their specific triggers
• Optimize their lifestyle based on what actually works for THEIR body
• Walk into doctor appointments with clear patterns to discuss
• Feel less alone in this experience

That's the future Project Eve is building.

Our mission: To illuminate the path for women navigating the intersection of autoimmune disease and menopause—one data point at a time.

We believe every woman deserves:
• Personalized insights, not generic advice
• Predictive tools, not just reactive care
• Community, not isolation
• Clarity, not uncertainty
• Agency over her health journey

The healthcare system wasn't built with us in mind. So we're building what we need. And we're doing it WITH women—not for them. To everyone who's shared their story, offered encouragement, or asked "when can I try this?"—thank you.

You're the reason Project Eve exists. Stay tuned. We're just getting started.

New research confirms what many women have been experiencing but couldn't explain:
Perimenopause is associated with increased risk of lymphocyte-mediated autoimmune diseases.
Studies show that around age 50, women experience a drop in neutrophil percentage while lymphocyte percentage rises—creating a perfect storm for autoimmune activation.

Even more striking: The incidence of lupus (SLE) peaks in women aged 40-49 (perimenopause), then drops sharply in the 50-59 age group. The female-to-male ratio shifts dramatically from 7:1-15:1 after puberty to 3:1-8:1 post-menopause.

This tells us that hormonal transitions—not just hormone levels—are critical players in autoimmune disease onset and activity.

Yet most women entering this transition don't know about this risk. Most doctors don't routinely screen for it. And there are few tools to help predict or prevent flares during this vulnerable window.

This research validates what Project Eve is designed to address: the need for predictive, personalized insights at this critical intersection.

When we can identify patterns BEFORE flares happen, we can intervene earlier. Adjust medications proactively. Make lifestyle changes that actually prevent crashes instead of just reacting to them.

This is what evidence-based, data-driven women's health looks like.

Be part of our Beta Test to learn how we can help you.

"My rheumatologist focuses on my lupus. My OB/GYN focuses on my menopause symptoms. But nobody's talking about how they're affecting each other." This is what we hear from women every single day.

When you're managing an autoimmune condition and entering perimenopause, you're often caught between specialists who aren't communicating about YOUR whole experience.
• Your joints hurt more—is it your RA flaring, or is it the estrogen decline affecting joint lubrication?
• Your fatigue has deepened—is it your Hashimoto's acting up, or menopause-related sleep disruption spiking your cortisol?
• Your brain fog is worse—is it lupus affecting your cognition, or hormonal changes impacting neurotransmitters?

The answer is usually: all of the above.

But without tracking the full picture—your symptoms, triggers, cycle patterns, sleep, stress, environment—it's nearly impossible to know what's driving what.

This is why Project Eve exists. To help you connect the dots.

To give you the data and insights to walk into your doctor's appointments and say: "Here's my pattern. Here's what I'm noticing. Here's what might be connected." Because you deserve care that sees ALL of you—not just separate parts.

Have you experienced this fragmentation in your care? Tell us about it.
