An estimated 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide are affected by endometriosis, a condition that can influence pain, digestion, daily life and fertility.
InHer Health Clinic · Self-paced women's health course
The women's health education you should have had years ago.
You learned the basics of a period at school. Maybe you were told to expect cramps, mood changes and a few unpredictable cycles. Then adulthood arrived with contraception decisions, unexpected symptoms, blood tests, pregnancy, postpartum or the slow shift towards perimenopause, and somehow you were expected to understand all of it.
Hormone University brings the science into one place, taught by a Registered Clinical Nutritionist. Forty-one approachable, clinically informed lessons explain how your hormones work, what changes throughout life and which questions are worth asking about your health.

Women's health is complex. Our understanding of it shouldn't be left to chance.
The conditions and transitions covered in Hormone University affect millions of women. Yet many reach adulthood with little explanation of what's happening physiologically, what their symptoms might mean, or when to seek more support.
Estimated prevalence among reproductive-aged women worldwide. Up to 70% of affected women may be undiagnosed.
The British Menopause Society estimates that up to 80% of women experience physical or emotional symptoms during the menopausal transition.

If you've ever wondered...
Why didn't anyone explain this properly?
Maybe your periods leave you exhausted for days. Perhaps you've been prescribed contraception without fully understanding how it works, or you've been told you have PCOS without knowing why insulin resistance, acne or irregular ovulation can be connected.
Or you're in your forties, noticing changes in sleep, concentration, temperature regulation or body composition, and wondering whether perimenopause could be part of the picture.
- What actually happens during each phase of my cycle?
- Which symptoms are common, and which warrant investigation?
- How do metabolic health, thyroid function and stress physiology interact?
- What should I understand before making treatment decisions?

Knowledge you can actually use

You'll have more context for your own symptoms, test results and conversations with your healthcare team.

Your educator · Samantha Mihaka
Women's health education, grounded in clinical practice.
I'm a Registered Clinical Nutritionist with postgraduate training in human nutrition, a background in exercise science and qualifications in functional medicine. In clinical practice, I regularly work with women who have spent years trying to understand menstrual symptoms, gastrointestinal concerns, thyroid changes and complex hormonal conditions.
I've also taught body literacy and menstrual health in schools, where the gaps in early health education are impossible to miss. Hormone University brings the conversations I wish more women had access to into a structured, approachable learning experience you can return to as your health and life stage change.
One student reflected that the course's female anatomy lessons explained information she hadn't properly learned at school, even though she'd been seeking out women's health education for years.
Feedback from a Hormone University studentYour next step
You don't need to wait for another life stage to start understanding your hormones.
Whether you're coming to Hormone University with a recent diagnosis, years of unanswered questions or simply a desire to understand your physiology, there's an enormous amount of value in learning how your body works.

Questions before enrolling?
Here's what to know about learning inside Hormone University.
Is Hormone University only for women with a diagnosed condition?
No. The course is suitable for women wanting a better understanding of hormones, menstrual cycles and health transitions, with or without a diagnosed condition.
Can I work through the lessons at my own pace?
Yes. The course is delivered online so you can work through its video lessons around your own schedule and revisit topics that are particularly relevant to you.
Does the course include perimenopause and hormone therapy?
Yes. The perimenopause and menopause curriculum discusses common changes during the transition, nutrition and lifestyle considerations, and treatment options including menopausal hormone therapy (MHT/HRT).
Will the lessons help me understand PCOS or endometriosis?
Yes. Both feature within the curriculum, alongside menstrual pain, absent or irregular cycles and metabolic health. You'll develop a better understanding of the conditions and the kinds of clinical questions that can help guide further assessment.
Is this individual clinical treatment?
Hormone University is an educational course rather than an individual consultation or treatment plan. If you need personalised investigation or clinical management, you can also explore InHer Health Clinic's 1:1 services.
