Ana is now passionate about helping other women manage their endometriosis and related symptoms through her work in endocrine disruption. She is also passionate about helping women optimize their health and works to educate them on the best ways to do that. She created Hormone University, the first educational platform dedicated to hormone health, as well as Glow Botanica, a company she launched that provides natural remedies for hormonal balance.
