If you've ever walked out of a doctor's appointment feeling like your symptoms didn't land — like the story of what you're going through got lost somewhere between the waiting room and the ten-minute consult — this episode is for you.

Dr Dee is a naturopathic doctor, the architect behind Shae's functional algorithms at Precision Health Alliance, and now the founder of The Perimenopause Lab. She's building Luna: an AI-powered companion that lets women track their symptoms by talking — not ticking boxes — and translates that data into a clinician-ready report that finally gives your story the weight it deserves in a medical appointment.

Mish has been behind the scenes beta testing Luna, and this conversation goes deep into what makes it genuinely different, who it's for, and why the question isn't just "is it hormones?" — it's "what is your body actually telling you?"

What We Cover

• What Luna is — and why "symptom tracker on steroids" barely scratches the surface
• Why Dr Dee built it while going through perimenopause herself
• The design decision behind voice-based tracking (and why you can use it while doing the laundry or driving the car)
• How five sessions is enough to start seeing patterns — and what a clinician report looks like
• The difference between Shae/CLIA and what Luna is doing specifically for women's health
• Why MHT isn't always the answer — and how Luna helps decode what kind of hormonal (or non-hormonal) issue is at play
• How fitness professionals and women's health practitioners can use Luna as a clinical tool with their clients
• Data security — what "closed circuit" means and who controls your health data
• Pricing: free to use, founding member rate of $75/year for premium (locked in, won't go up)
• Where to find it and how to join the community

Key Moments

"My story matters now." Dr Dee on what the clinician report changes for women who've been told their labs are normal but their lived experience says otherwise.

"Is it hormones or is it something else?" The question at the heart of everything Luna is built around — and why defaulting to MHT without asking it first means missing pieces of the picture.

"Women are not a monolith." Mish on why precision, individual-led approaches matter so much in this space — and why that's the thread connecting Shae, Luna, and the Menopause Training Matrix.

The iron moment. Dr Dee's own example of feeling off, grumpy, not herself — and Luna pointing to iron, not hormones. Two days of supplements. Back to normal. "I should know. I just forgot."

For Fitness Professionals Listening

Luna isn't just for women tracking their own symptoms — it's a tool fitness and health professionals can introduce to clients to fill the gap between what you observe in sessions and what's going on hormonally, cyclically, or systemically.

A two-page point-form report compiled from a client's tracked data is, as Dr Dee puts it, "a piece of gold into this woman's life." You don't have to know everything. But having real data from your client's lived experience means your programming decisions are grounded in something more than a first-session intake form.

Used alongside tools like the Menopause Training Matrix, it can help you move from generalised to genuinely individualised support.
