women's health, a ten-place pilot
You are not imagining that something isn't right.
You deserve someone who takes responsibility, reads your body and story as a whole, and gives you an Answer.
Luisa reads all of it, and is clear about what it shows, what it can't show yet, and how to find out.

symptoms we look at
Sound like you?
Tap to see the chain. Symptoms look separate but are often connected.
That was one chain. Yours might start somewhere else, or nowhere near your cycle.
For you if it's gone on for a while, you've tried the obvious, or you've been told it's normal or to wait. If it's new or comes and goes, read Case No. 001 first.
If something is severe, sudden or worrying, don't wait for this. See your GP, call 111, or 999 in an emergency.
what you've heard about your symptoms
Everyone and everything has a theory.
“I am building this because I am tired of women being let down and alone in the healthcare system.”

who reads your story
Real people
Luisa Howell
ANutr. BSc Psychology and Nutrition.
Reads your whole story and writes your Answer.
Luisa doesn't diagnose or prescribe. If something needs a doctor, she'll say so, and you take it to your GP. If you'd benefit from other support, she can introduce you to people she trusts, like a registered dietitian or a physiotherapist. Your health information is never shared without your permission.

an example answer
Read a simplified example.
29-year-old woman. Period missing, yet her blood tests were “normal”.
- What we know
- No period for seven months. Negative pregnancy test. Basic blood tests were normal. Hormone tests have not been completed. Marathon training six days a week. Lost 4 kg without trying. Often cold.
- What we think, and why it fits
- Her system is most likely running on empty: more energy going out than coming in, so the brain has turned a signal down. It seems to fit because her period disappeared when her training block started, and the weight loss and feeling cold follow the same pattern.
- What is still open
- Her hormone levels are unknown. Thyroid and prolactin are not ruled out. PMOS is less likely, with no history of long cycles or spots.
- What happens next
- Seven months without a period should be assessed by her GP now. Her plan asks about her eating patterns first, flags the weight she lost without trying, and raises bone health. Then more fuel and reduced training, and a check at week 8.

questions women ask
The ones women ask first.
Is it a diagnosis?
No. It's a reasoned Answer with the working shown. The section for your GP sets out your history, what the Answer found, and the questions to ask. Diagnosis, and any tests, stay with your GP. You arrive knowing what to ask, and why.
Why a nutritionist?
Your health does not sit neatly within one symptom or one test result. As a Registered Associate Nutritionist, I look at your symptoms, health history, previous results and nutritional context together. I consider what the available evidence may suggest, where nutrition and lifestyle may be relevant, and what remains unclear. The aim is not to diagnose you or replace your GP. It is to give you a considered interpretation of your health story, with the reasoning made clear and practical next steps you can take forward, including questions to discuss with your GP where appropriate.
Can I get a refund?
If you decide The Answer isn't right for you, tell Luisa during your results call. If you feel you have gained no useful understanding of your health or what to do next, we will refund your £250. You do not need to prove your case or justify your decision. For a refund or cancellation, contact Luisa at contact@luisahowell.com.
Who isn't this for?
Anyone under 18. Anyone who might be pregnant: take a test first. Anyone with very heavy bleeding, severe pain, bleeding after sex or blood in their poo: see your GP first.
Is it AI?
A person reads every file and writes every Answer. Software keeps your story organised. That's its job.
Why not just see my own GP?
You should. Then go back with this. A GP appointment is about ten minutes, and your story takes longer than that. We do the long read so your ten minutes count.
Why not ask ChatGPT?
It can list the causes of a missing period. It can't ask you the next question, notice what you left out, or check back at week 8 to see if it was right.
Can I get blood tests on the NHS?
Your GP decides which tests, if any, to order. The section for your GP sets out which ones to ask about, and on which day of your cycle, so the question is clear first time.
Is it only about periods?
No. Sleep, skin, digestive issues and energy are read together with your cycle, because the body does not work in silos.
Can you help with stomach issues?
Yes, especially when they follow your cycle. We look at timing, food, stress and sleep together, and set out which tests to ask about first.
I'm on the pill, or just came off it.
On the combined pill, the monthly bleed is a withdrawal bleed, not a period, so it can hide what's happening underneath. If you've stopped and your period hasn't come back, this is exactly what The Answer is for.
I already have a PMOS or PCOS diagnosis.
Then you have a name (PMOS is what PCOS is now called). The Answer looks at what's driving yours, what's worth trying first, and how you'll know if it's working.
Who are the network?
Professionals we know and trust, such as a registered dietitian or a physiotherapist. If you need one, your Answer says so and we introduce you. Their fees are separate.
What if you find something serious?
If anything you tell us needs a doctor soon, we say so straight away. We don't wait for your Answer.
Who sees my information?
Luisa. It's never sold, and never shared with advertisers.
When does it start?
Intakes open on 9 December. Your Answer arrives about ten days after your intake.
Why not a blood test membership for the same money?
A blood test gives you numbers. It doesn't know that your period went when the marathon training started, or that you've been cold since March. We start with your story, then tell you which numbers matter and why, so the tests you do get are the right ones. Which tests, if any, is your GP's decision.
