In this episode of The House of Hormones, we’re joined by Elissa Corrigan, founder of Elle Sera, for an honest conversation about women’s health, wellness, collagen, conscious consumerism, and the growing problem of “meno-washing”.

Elissa shares why women’s health is such an important part of her work and explains what Elle Sera is all about. We discuss the importance of knowing where your money is going and why consumers should think twice about buying from brands that don’t genuinely care about the people they’re selling to.

We also explore the realities of being a woman today and some of the unique challenges women face when it comes to health, hormones, ageing, and wellbeing.

The conversation then turns to collagen supplements. With so many products and claims in the wellness space, Elissa breaks down what actually matters when choosing a collagen product and what consumers should be looking for.

We also tackle “meno-washing”—the growing trend of brands using menopause as a marketing opportunity without necessarily providing meaningful support or products for women going through it.

Finally, we discuss The House of Hormones in-house study involving Elle Sera and what the findings mean for the brand, before asking Elissa the question every founder should be prepared for: if you could change one thing about Elle Sera, what would it be?
