Listening to Your Hormones with Both Data and Intuition, with Dr. Amy Divaraniya

About this episode

In this episode of SoulShift, host Ali Anderson sits down with Dr. Amy Divaraniya, Founder and CEO of Oova, to explore how women can reclaim power over their hormone health by combining real-time data, intuition, and nervous system awareness.

Dr. Amy Divaraniya is a data scientist with over a decade of experience in genomics and biomarker discovery, and the creator of Oova, the first at-home hormone test that measures multiple hormones in urine and delivers clinically backed insights in real time. After navigating her own fertility challenges, Dr. Amy turned personal experience into innovation — building a tool now trusted by over 500 U.S. clinics to support women through fertility, perimenopause, and midlife hormone shifts. She has been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, CBS News, and more.

Together, Ali and Dr. Amy unpack how hormone tracking can help women move beyond vague symptoms like “I just don’t feel like myself” and into informed, empowered conversations with their healthcare providers.

This conversation bridges science and soul, honoring intuition while also recognizing the grounding power of data — especially during seasons like perimenopause, fertility journeys, and major life transitions.

In This Episode, You’ll Explore:

• Why hormone data helps women be taken more seriously in medical settings
• How tracking estrogen, progesterone, and ovulation reveals patterns behind sleep, mood, and energy
• The relationship between hormones, cortisol, stress, and the nervous system
• Why perimenopause is often misdiagnosed — and how symptom tracking creates clarity
• How life>
• The importance of community, grace, and curiosity during midlife transitions
• How Oova supports women from their first cycle through their last — and beyond

Dr. Amy also shares deeply personal reflections from her fertility journey, illustrating how chronic stress and emotional suppression can impact hormone health — and why nervous system regulation is foundational to healing.

This episode invites listeners to ask a powerful question:

What would my body tell me if I listened with both love and data?
