Welcome to the Wild.AI app!
Where women come to train, fuel and recover with their hormones.
I’ll walk you through how the app can be used to help you harness your physiology as a superpower. We've been told it was annoying to be a woman. Moody, bitchy, fluids, bleeding, then not bleeding in menopause: and none of those are good. But how can we change the story we tell ourselves? How can we see it as, engrained in us, a powerful feature - and not a bug. We have a daily cycle. Wake up, pumped up (for some), live the day, tired, recharge. Some of us hate sleeping - but we all did accept that it was part of life. And some of us love it. That's where we're heading. It's time for us to love it all. But first, we need to learn about it.
So! We built Wild.AI for you, for that.
How to use it?
First things first, sign up with your email, google or apple account and let us know some basic info about you including some basic stats.
Next, we need some key information about your life stage. This helps us understand how best to support you, as each life stage has a different hormonal landscape. We currently support 4 life stages: Menstrual cycle, birth control (149 of those!), perimenopause and menopause.
At Wild.AI, we tailor training, nutrition and recovery recommendations to your life stage as different hormonal landscapes have different needs. We will go over each life stage and what that means.
Cycle syncing: The menstrual cycle life stage
The menstrual cycle life stage is a natural process in the female body that can vary anything between 21-42 days. It is a complex biological process that involves the release of an egg from the ovaries, the thickening of the uterus lining, and the eventual shedding of this lining if the egg is not fertilized. The menstrual cycle is essential for female reproductive health and can impact fertility, overall well-being, and even athletic adaptations.
During the menstrual cycle life stage, Wild.AI divides the cycle into five distinct phases, each with its own hormonal landscape and physiological changes.
The early follicular phase is the first phase, starting on the first day of menstruation, completing on the last day of bleeding. This is when hormone levels are at their lowest.
The second phase is the most variable and is called the mid-follicular phase, lasting roughly up until the mid-point of an individual’s cycle length. During this phase, the hormone oestrogen gradually rises, stimulating the growth of the uterine lining and follicles in the ovaries that contain eggs.
The third phase is the ovulatory phase, which is characterised by high levels of oestrogen, where we define it as a 4 day window during which ovulation is likely to occur. During ovulation, the mature egg is released from the ovary and travels down the fallopian tube, where it may be fertilized by sperm.
The fourth phase is the mid-luteal phase, which is the least variable in nature. During this phase, the hormone progesterone rises, alongside a second rise in oestrogen thickening the uterine lining to prepare for a potential pregnancy.
The last phase is the pre-menstrual phase. If the egg is not fertilized, the uterine lining is shed during menstruation due to a drop in both hormones, marking the beginning of a new cycle. This phase is typically when most symptoms appear due to the rate of change of hormones each day. Wild provides mitigation strategies to manage commonly occurring menstrual symptoms.
While oestrogen and progesterone are hormones primarily responsible for regulating the female reproductive system, they also have a variety of other physiological functions within the body. For example, oestrogen helps to regulate bone density and can also affect cognitive function, while progesterone is involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and has been linked to mood and sleep. Additionally, these hormones can have an impact on metabolism, influencing factors such as appetite and energy expenditure. It is important to understand the various roles that these hormones play in the body, as imbalances can lead to a range of health issues and complications.
The menstrual cycle life stage is an important aspect of female health and can be influenced by a variety of factors, including stress, diet, exercise, and medication. Understanding and tracking the menstrual cycle can help women optimize their overall health and well-being, as well as plan for pregnancy or contraception. By considering the menstrual cycle life stage and its impact on the body, we can help women harness their physiology as a superpower and optimize their performance and health by delivering specific recommendations based on the menstrual phase and the symptoms you experience.
Hormone syncing: The birth control life stage
At Wild.AI, we support all types of birth control and can provide tailored recommendations based on your individual needs and preferences. We’ve made it easy for you to select the type of birth control you are on, through the brand names of different birth control types. We cover 149 of those (and counting! If you can't find yours, you can message us so we run the research and add it). Our birth control life stage supports 3 main types of birth control. These are combined contraceptives, progestin-only contraceptives that are taken orally or through an injection, and hormonal/non-hormonal IUDs.
Combined contraceptives are a type of birth control that contain both oestrogen and progestin. They are available in a variety of forms, including pills, patches, and vaginal rings. These contraceptives work by preventing ovulation and thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. They are highly effective when used correctly and consistently. However, they can also have some side effects, such as changes in mood, weight gain, and increased risk of blood clots. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of combined contraceptives with a healthcare provider to determine if they are the right choice for you. Wild.AI divides the combined contraceptive life stage into two phases - an active and an inactive phase, as most of these contraceptives include a withdrawal phase.
The active phase of pill-taking is characterized by high levels of synthetic estrogen and progestin, whereas the inactive phase is characterized by low hormone levels and a withdrawal bleed (which is not a true period). Training, nutrition and recovery recommendations change during these phases to support the physiology underlying the hormone-taking and non-hormone taking phases.
Talk about IUD and Progestin
Progestin-only contraceptives (POP) including the mini-pill, injection and implant act by releasing progestin (a synthetic progestogen) into the bloodstream. Because of their systemic (affecting the whole body), they act differently compared to hormonal IUDs which are also progestin-only contraceptives, and there are no hormone-free intervals while using this type of contraceptive. POPs work by thickening the mucus of the cervix, preventing easy entry of sperm, reducing ability of implantation of the egg, and by inhibiting ovulation to a certain extent. When tracking in Wild.AI, POPs have just one constant phase, while IUD’s work very similarly to the natural cycle. This is because IUD
Hormone syncing: The Perimenopause Life stage
Perimenopause is a natural stage in a woman's life that marks the transition to menopause, the permanent end of menstruation and fertility. This stage can last for several years, typically starting in a woman's 40s but sometimes as early as her mid-30s. During perimenopause, progesterone declines, while oestrogen can fluctuate heavily. As a result, menstrual cycles become irregular and eventually stop altogether, signaling the onset of menopause.
In addition to changes in menstrual cycles, perimenopause can also cause a variety of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. These symptoms can be mild or severe and can significantly impact a woman's quality of life. It is important for women to understand the signs of perimenopause and to apply interventions, which is how Wild.AI can help.
Although perimenopause is a natural process, there are several ways to manage its symptoms and promote overall health and well-being. These include lifestyle changes such as incorporating strength training and more high intensity work, focusing on improving gut health, and increasing protein intake.
At Wild.AI, we provide tailored recommendations based on your individual patterns of data to help you navigate perimenopause through both training and nutrition interventions. For instance, you’ll receive a guide on strength and high intensity training based on your training level, as well as nutrition recommendations to support that.
Hormone syncing: The menopause life stage
The menopause is a natural life stage that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It is defined as the point at which a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months.
This phase is characterised by some symptoms carrying on from the perimenopause phase, but due to the lack of fluctuations, recommendations are based on training and nutrition to support that. During menopause, low levels of female sex hormones, which are important for maintaining bone and muscle health, may make it harder to do so. As a result we provide the solutions necessary to counteract any negative impacts on body composition in this life stage.
Once you pick a life stage, you’ll be asked some important info about the life stage you select in order to tailor the app better for you. The symptoms you'll be suggested to track depend on your life stage. We are working in the background to add life stages as we speak!
Once you’ve input that information, you can also choose to connect to a wearable or training software. More about this later!
