Mira Launches Integrative Hormone Health Clinic for Fertility to Help Women Conceive
Hormone Health Clinic is a new telehealth service offering personalized guidance throughout one’s fertility journey with a focus on an integrative (whole-body) approach as an accessible alternative to assisted reproductive technology (ART) and in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Mira, a hormonal health company providing at-home reproductive health solutions, launches an online Hormone Health Clinic for Fertility aimed to help people - struggling to conceive. The clinic provides personalized support from fertility professionals throughout the conception journey, focusing on addressing hormonal imbalances, streamline nutrition and gut health, setting up effective exercise routines and improving mental health.
1 in 5 people in the US are affected by infertility, according to the CDC. The use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has doubled in the past decade – as many as 2 million babies in the States are 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 clinic staff – while performing around 250,000 IVF cycles per year, they need to be doing a million-plus to meet a growing demand.
An integrated full-body approach with a focus on hormonal health, well-being and mental health can be a more accessible alternative for people struggling to have a child. With factors like lifestyle, mental health & well-being shown to affect women’s fertility, Mira offers a full-body approach with a focus on hormonal health, nutrition, gut health, exercise routines, stress management, sleep quality and emotional support. The purpose of this program is to provide less invasive and more affordable fertility care compared to traditional in-vitro fertilization, or ART, which stays out of reach for many.
The recent study conducted by Mira in partnership with Pelex showed that at-home hormonal tracking could be a more accessible alternative to IVF while also providing more comfort and fertility clarity for patients. As a result of the trial, 44% of participants, previously qualified as infertile, got pregnant after two months of trying, while 72% of people received accurate diagnoses thanks to regular at-home hormonal tracking with Mira. To compare, the IVF success rate is just about 40%. With 30% of couples qualified for IVF suffering from unexplained infertility, the transparency, this fertility clarity, brings tangible relief.
Sylvia Kang, CEO and Founder of Mira, was motivated to start a Hormone Health Clinic for Fertility after some amazing feedback from customers. One customer, initially qualified for IVF, used Mira Hormone Monitor and got a positive pregnancy test a night before the surgery.
Later, a study confirmed the potential of at-home hormone tracking to substitute IVF, which gave another push to starting the program.
“With Hormone Health Clinic, we want to assist women throughout their pregnancy journey by personalized maintenance of hormonal health, general well-being, and emotional support. 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 draws, and frequent doctor visits, like in the IVF 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”, – says Sylvia Kang, CEO of Mira.
What makes Mira Hormone Health Clinic for Fertility special is professional assistance of fertility advisors paired with unique hormonal tracking technology of Mira Fertility Monitor. Designed by scientists and OB/GYNs, Mira is the only at-home hormone monitor on the market using quantitative technology. Tracking LH, E3G, PdG, and FSH, Mira predicts and confirms ovulation and tracks the tiniest changes in hormones, thus providing a clear picture of one’s hormonal health.
While eligible for FSA and HSA reimbursement, Mira Hormone Health Clinic offers a variety of price options for different service packages:

90-day Plan: a holistic approach with a dedicated coach, personalized fertility plan, progress review and ongoing support - $259 ($86 per month);

Upon completion of the fertility program, the customer gets a personal action plan, in-depth comprehensive hormone results review, lifestyle recommendations and emotional support to achieve their conception goals.
