thefifty1percent gives women the knowledge, support, and community to make informed decisions about their health — from perimenopause and hormonal health to prevention and long-term wellbeing. We cut through contradictory advice and commercial noise so you can understand your body, your environment, and your options with confidence.
Women make up fifty-one per cent of the population, yet we still face significant gaps in diagnosis, treatment, representation, and outcomes. Add the constant noise, online trends, contradictions, miracle fixes, and sales disguised as advice — and it becomes even harder to understand what's right for you.
​
thefifty1percent exists to cut through all of that. We're here to offer knowledge, meaningful conversations, and an inclusive space where your lived experience matters as much as the evidence.

I won't go into my story here — you can find that in the About Shreya section. But like most women, my journey has had its highs, lows, and plenty of "what on earth am I doing?" moments.
