Your Symptoms Are Real—They Should be Taken Seriously
Your Symptoms Are Real—They Should be Taken Seriously
These stories might sound familiar:
“I told my doctor something was wrong. Everything hurts, my energy is down.
She told me my bloodwork was fine and to come back if anything changed.”
“I said I couldn’t sleep, that I was sweating through my clothes, forgetting names, feeling rage I couldn’t explain. He gave me a prescription for antidepressants”
“I started missing deadlines and losing focus at work. My boss asked if I was still committed. I didn’t know how to explain that I didn’t even feel like myself anymore.”
This is what menopause can feel like for millions of us.
What You Are Experiencing is Valid – Your Symptoms Are Real
Women’s health—especially around menopause—has been overlooked, underfunded, and under-researched for decades. Most health studies are still based on male bodies. Most diagnostic tools weren’t built for us.
So what happens when we walk into a doctor’s office with pain, exhaustion, or emotional chaos—and there’s no standard medical model to explain it?
We’re told it’s “normal.”
We’re given a prescription.
We’re sent home.
And we’re left feeling unheard—despite knowing something real is happening in our bodies.
This is why we built Bastet Rising.
Not to replace doctors.
Not to sell you products.
But to give you something you’ve been searching for: clarity.
Because your symptoms are not just complaints.
They are clues—real, measurable signs that something is happening in your body.
And when tracked, those clues become evidence.
And evidence is truth.
With Bastet Rising, you don’t just track your period or your hot flashes.
You connect the dots between your symptoms, lifestyle, treatments, and the latest research.
You build your own personal dataset. Your story.
We’re here to help you see patterns, get clarity, and walk into your next appointment informed, confident, and ready to be heard.
Why “Bastet”?
In ancient Egypt, Bastet was a protector of women.
A healer. A nurturer. A feline guardian when women were under threat.
She stood for transformation, resilience, and feminine power.
That’s the energy we channel.
Bastet Rising isn’t just an app—it’s a movement.
A reclamation of our voices, our stories, and our health.
Your Data Speaks Louder than Words.
We are scientists, engineers, and women who’ve lived this.
And we’re here to make sure your data speaks for you—loudly, clearly, and unapologetically.
Your health is your wealth.
Your data is your power.
And your voice? It’s rising.
So no, you’re not crazy.
You are not broken
You know something is happening—and now you have the tools to prove it.
We’ve got you.
Ready to be heard?
Track your symptoms.
Turn your experience into evidence.
And join a generation of women who refuse to be silenced.
Invoke your inner Bastet—and rise.
Rise and never be invisible again.
