MiYé: Empowering Women as Allies to Their Hormones for Optimal Cycle Wellness

We're excited to share this expert article from MiYé, offering proven tips to harmonize hormones and well-being, especially during your menstrual cycle.


MiYé, meaning "the good friend" in Provençal, is dedicated to breaking female taboos, articulating common challenges, and empowering women to take charge of their well-being.


Founded with my friend Anna—over 25 years of close collaboration—we identified a gap for a wellness brand tailored to women's cycles. MiYé supports women naturally and compassionately through key life stages like premenstrual syndrome (PMS), postpartum recovery, and the 5-10 years of perimenopausal changes.


Our treatments restore natural hormonal balance during these "hormonal storms" without synthetic hormones or unnatural options.


For a year, we consulted 50 experts—including doctors, endocrinologists, and micronutritionists—and over 400 women to develop green biotechnology products with efficacy proven in medically supervised clinical tests.


We champion a new era of female body ecology under a rigorous charter: certified ORGANIC, VEGAN formulas, eco-designed packaging, and 1% of turnover donated to ARTAC, an association of doctors and researchers linking environmental pollution to cancer.
