We’ve always believed that data drives better health, but even we were surprised by how powerful hormone data can be. Hormones influence everything from how we age to how our skin repairs itself, yet most people only test them once a year, if at all.

In this episode, we sit down with Fady and Marina from Eli Health to explore how real-time hormone testing is changing the way we understand health optimization. Their saliva-based technology tracks cortisol and progesterone with over 90 percent lab-comparable accuracy, while their AI-powered app translates results into actionable lifestyle insights.

We also unpack how cortisol rhythm shapes energy, mood, and skin health, why “cortisol face” is real, and how frequent hormone tracking can help prevent stress-related aging before it appears on the skin. Fady and Marina, founders of Eli Health, are redefining hormone care with a science-driven, ethically designed platform that keeps data and decisions in your hands.
