Cycle syncing, PMDD, and a Post-Roe world with Anna, CEO of Embody

In this episode of the Magic Hour podcast, I interview my best friend Anna, CEO of Embody, a private menstrual health app. Anna shares her experience with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and how cycle syncing helped her manage it. We cover the menstrual cycle phases, the impact of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade on menstrual health data privacy, and the risks of period tracking apps being subpoenaed. Anna explains the inception of Embody, emphasizing its focus on secure, educational menstrual health tracking with features like local data encryption and plans for open-source transparency. The app aims to help women, especially those with PMDD, by aligning activities with menstrual phases. We also discuss improving menstrual health education and natural ways to manage PMDD, such as an anti-inflammatory diet.
