US hormonal health company launches virtual fertility clinic

The US hormonal health company Mira has launched an online hormone health clinic aimed at helping people struggling to conceive.

The clinic aims to provide support from fertility professionals throughout the conception journey, focusing on addressing hormonal imbalances, setting up exercise routines and improving nutrition, gut health and mental health.

One in five people in the US are affected by infertility, according to the CDC. The use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has doubled in the past decades, with as many as two million babies in the US being conceived through IVF each year.

However, there are a number of barriers to entry to fertility treatments, including the high cost of IVF treatments, relatively low success rates, and shortage of fertility clinics staff.

Mira believes an integrated “full-body approach” with a focus on hormonal health, wellbeing and mental health can be a more accessible alternative for people struggling to have a child.

The company seeks to help women with their hormonal health, nutrition, gut health, exercise routines, stress management, sleep quality and emotional support, offering more affordable and less invasive fertility care.

“With Hormone Health Clinic we want to assist women throughout their pregnancy journey by personalised maintenance of hormonal health, general wellbeing and emotional support,” said Sylvia Kang, founder and CEO of Mira.

“By this, we want to make the whole fertility journey less stressful for women, with no need to spend lots of time on useless and impersonal appointments with OBs, painful injections, blood drawings and frequent doctor visits, like in the IVFs process.

Our fertility coaches have already helped more than 1,000 women, and with the Hormone Health Clinic for Fertility we hope to help even more.
