this page is titled "survey results," and we want to be completely transparent: phasebloom has not conducted a hormone health survey, and there are no results to report. rather than leave the title unaddressed or quietly fill the gap with invented figures, we think it's more useful, and more honest, to explain exactly where things stand.
why we haven't published survey results
producing genuine survey results properly requires a clear methodology, a representative sample, transparent questions and honest reporting of limitations. we haven't yet run a survey that meets that standard, so we are not going to present numbers as if we had. inventing statistics about hormone health would risk misleading readers, and potentially anyone, including journalists or researchers, who might reference this page in future.
what we can honestly share instead
rather than fabricated results, here is what is generally, publicly understood about hormone health, drawn from established sources such as the nhs:
- hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinising hormone regulate the menstrual cycle and influence wider health.
- hormone levels naturally fluctuate across the menstrual cycle, and across life stages such as puberty, pregnancy and the menopause transition.
- factors such as stress, sleep, body weight and certain medical conditions can influence hormone balance, though the extent varies between individuals.
- hormone testing, when needed, is generally best carried out and interpreted by a healthcare professional, since results depend on timing within the cycle.
if we run a survey in future
should phasebloom carry out a genuine hormone health survey in the future, we will publish it properly: with a clear methodology, sample size, the exact questions asked, and an honest account of its limitations. we will link to it from this page rather than replacing this explanation.
where to find real survey data
for genuine, methodologically sound research on hormone health, we would point you towards peer-reviewed journals, accessible through resources like pubmed, and reports published by the nhs and other established health bodies.
our philosophy
at phasebloom, we believe informed decisions begin with accurate information. that means being willing to say "we don't have this yet" rather than filling a page with numbers that sound convincing but aren't real.
